Huron County farmers
not entirely happy
about gov't.measure
Huron county farmers ex-
pressed dissatisfaction last
Thursday night with the gover-
nment's plans to ease the high
cost ,of foods as they attended
the September meeting of the
Huron County Federation .of
Agriculture, Clinton.
The government moved last
week to give new subsidies on
milk and wheat to keep costs of
milk and bread down. Farmers
saw the moves as a virtual
freeze on farm prices since the
subsidies on milk, for instance,
were available only to provin-
cial marketing' boards that
promised to hold down the cost
of milk to its present level for
at least a year.
"If we're going to work on a •
supply and demand situation
how can you tinker with it all
the time" said Mervin Smith, a
Walton -area farmer. Mr.
Smith who had attended the
opening of the new United Co-
operatives of Ontario
headquarters in Weston the
same day, said he had been
talking to some big farm
administrator, said that at the
moment it appears a very
reasonable ceiling for 1974.

us.
Mason Bailey of Blyth,
president of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture said
the freeze is a guarantee to'
processors that they are going
to get their goods at a fixed
rate but there are no controls
on the retail level to make sure
the consumer does not have to
pay higher prices. •Although one farmer in at-
tendance suggested the group
should raise ''a hell of " a
ruckus" over the government
action, no direct solution to the
problem came from the
meeting.
