Deadhman Speaking in Wdntatu town hell Thm'sday night in the interests 0f R, 0 Deachnnan, Liberal Jamesdat for Huron North, H Agriculture Gardiner, Minister of Ag for Canada, lashed out at the critics of the ibaeon agreement. "X cannot imagine any propa- ganda machine working anywhere during; the war more persistently Won false information than have those who are trying to pry a 10op` bole into the bacon agreement,' declared Mr. Gardiner. "More mis- statements :have had to be correct- ed about it Mace it was entered into than about anything else con- nected with -the war effort, Those responsible first used the Manitoba Committee of the Legislature ae their medium and are now using the committee of the Ontario Legis- lature. Mr. Gardiner went on say, "the suplply of all farm products other that wheat marketing fs directly under the direction and control of the Agricultural - Supplies Boards ar which Mr. A. M. Shaw is the chair anan: ' (speaking of the Personnel .of the bacon board which bis critics claimed wes made up mainly et packers, the Minister pointed out Hon, 1. G. Taggart, chairman of the bacon board, was born on a Nova. Scotia farm, graduated from the •Ontario Agricultural College as an agricultural representative, later served o11 agricultural poste in Albeta and ISaska•tchewan and latterly was, Minister of Agriculture in 'Saskatchewan and owns a farm, of his own." "And," added Mr. Gardiner, "he le more of a farmer, knows more farmers and represents more of thein than any of the critics of the board. Explains Agreement. Mr. Gardiner pointed out that of all farm products the one for which there is the greatest demand in warthne is bacon, hams and fats, went on to point out that Canada has a wartime bacon agreement for 980,000;000 pounds per annum with Great Britain, and that so far the country has only beensupplying an average of 160000,000 pounds per annum, An aggressive adver- tising campaign in Canada has raised Canada's production by 711 per cent., so that the country hopes to fill the agreement this year. ""Before the war started we were getting 39 shillings a hundred- weight of 1s12 lbs. of bacon," de- clared.' Mr, 'Gardiner, "but Mr. Shaw negotiated the price up to 102 shillings per long hundred- weight'and so encouraged Canad- tan farmers to increase production. A bacon board was set up as I told you with anen representative of pt'cduceis from all across Canada, At their first meeting they set the price they would pay to the pack - ere for bacon and hems delivered at Eastern• seaboard points at $18.01 with $17.29 paid to the packers and leaving 72 cents per cwt. to be set aside in a fluid and from, this fund we intend to see that the farmer gets two cents a pound more for his, bogs next summer. It cost the farmer two cents it pound more to produce bogs in ,Tune, July and August."
