'atterided by most of the rarge hog

-effective' as the larger. Wm. Tiirn-

ed out; there are quite a number of
producer organizations • in Ontario
doing a good job. for producer's in act-
ing as a jo%nt. salesman and bargain-
ing agent -for, them. Hog producers
are by ' far the largest group of pro-
ducers and_ it was felt they should
organize and have some say in the
marketing af their liege..
Bain -Stewart, • agricultural -
representative, was preeent to register
producers and also'had. the ballots
and locked ballot -boxes to enable
those registering to vote. Any 'farm-
er twenty-one years of -age of over
who ralsed -hogs had to register to
vote. For thne not present the ;fol-
lowing instructions. were given for
registering and voting:
Write' to the tterietilturel- represent-
ative in Clinton stating the desire to.
register as a hog -producer. He :will
then send _you a ballet which yon
nuist mark and return this Week.
Or you may go yourself to the office
in • Clinton and register and vote but
you must vote this week Xt is. te be
hoped thany more producers. Will reg-
ister and vote, as the scheme must
have a two-thirds majority before the,
Ontario Government will put it in
