He com' flat the Huron Feder - one M of the strongest, both membership and in represeas in Ontario. Ontario Federation is fitly concerned about the pub& attitude to farming and to farmers, he stated. They don't mils the greasttly increased cost offa . For instance, the coast of someferlll is up by Sou per hent; machinery up 30 per cent, cost of labor andbuildup material are all, up, but sale pdxgen are not keeping. lace. Livestock men are hardest hit, especially cow -calf and sow operators. Steers are selling now for less money in some met than waw paid for the stocker calf, so the farmer loses ail his cost for feed. The press furore about market -- ft boards a symptom of the public's *ttitaJa e,haid. We Can expect mote attacks on farming m in the future. As an example '.ie cited the attacks on CEM4. Not one good wordwa s said in the g city pima about CSMA. No one said anything *bout the lower prices the consumer toyed last year compared with VS ' prices, No one said anything that the eggs that spoiled were for sale or the failure of the government to buy eggs for welfare people or for the world. No one said that the 1 cost -price eggs were offered to the breaker trade. 'No one said anything Positive about CSMA, only the negat vela CSMA Newfoundland was blame for the shipment from ewfoun _..l and to B.C., but nobody !said anything, about the railroads which took seven week,s to ship them, across the country and on the way found it r.cessary.. to reload them into another boxcar and none too gently, for the eggs were broken inside the cartons. Mr. Hill cited this as proof that a deliberate onslaught is being made on farm and fari ere now a committee. to refect egg market- ing has been formed. This committee is formed by the same integrators and egg graders who opposed the forming of the Ontario Egg Board from the be - thrsay, Oct. tx to Wordily. Oct. 26.174.

Now they see a and want to reduce the Board to a promotion They circulate a document to + _w producers urging those oil. :These people went a holt en the industry,, Mr. Hill Stated. and any producer who signs thin d meat signs for the of his own grave. Farmers have to be very careful about suggestions for change. They all say that are notagainst the farmer, on the farmer insists on the 'right price for his: product. -Then they are not for the farm .anymore. . Of Professor Forbes, who, was cont` ..missoned by the Counters Council of Canada to study marketing boards, Mr. Hill said Mr. Forbes has been a lifelong" foe of marketing boards. Mrs. Plumtre of the Food Prices Review Board is being used by the anti -marketing ford Mr. Hill claimed. When, chain stores were found to be-profiteer- ing e rofiteer-ing Mrs. Plumtre said that they wouldn't do it again, and She defended processors, saying that they made no undue profit. Mr Hill, himself a bean producer,. said that bean prices to the . farmer are 27 cents per pound. Another 48' cents is added between farmer and consumer; The farmer has to plow, cultivate, apply fertilizer and herbicide, harvest and deliver fir 27 cents!. The consumer pays • nn additional 48 cents for washing, sorting, packing ands' retailing. When Mrs. Plumtre findsout, what will she do? The big city press attacked farmers as a whole because of a few isolated cases of farm labor e abuse. Maritsa* boards aaarce ho read. *to*, Mr Hill said. Huron Casty bas always been a strong supporter 'el marketing boards use reels that without have sorsa Means to lint a price upon our ;products. If we are ceught in lower prices and spiralling cos% we know what hatoone. The farmsc is tbe only one who has no conal over supply Everyone OK has, be it labor or manufacturer. The Federation prelident would to sere legislation changed to production control from market- ing r'ket-ing contiol. We Also. will have to decide if ,weee want to remain nim. guys.
