"Farmers Must Advertise Products To Sell Them.", Stresses Fieldman The month of June is known to farmers as "dairy month", because that le the month farmers produc- ing roducting dairy products contribute to a fund with which to advertise their products, says Jim Powers, Bruce County Federation Fieldman. The need for 100 per cent co-op- eration this year is more appar- ent than ever before because of increasing production. Milk pro- duction in 1953 was 4 per cent above 1952 and a further increase is expected in 1954, particularly if there should be an abundance of grass. It is a natural and human tend- ency to tighten spending opera- tions in a period of failing income; it is also a farming practice to in- crease production somewhat to maintain income level. Both these measures can further aggravate a serious situation when considered in the following manner. If pro- ducers consider the lc per lb. but- ter fat deduction during the mon- th of June as an expense and at- tack it in their attempt to carve expenditures, the inevitable result will he greater government hold- ings, lower prices to the producer. It is a serious situation and unless the producers accept a share of the responsibility in moving more dairy products into the domestic market through advertising, it is unjust criticism to lay the blame on the government or the farm or- ganization for failing to maintain the income level. The Federation of Agriculture and its dairy, groups have worked hard to obtain 'protection for the industry. Margarene can not be colored the same as butter; it can not contain more than 16 per cent moisture; imitation products can not be sold under a name relating to dairy products; they cannot be mixed with dairy products. These accomplisments, along with floor prices, prove the power of organization .and the sincere manner in which the officers han- dled the farmers' problem. But when we hear of a farmer engaged in producing dairy pro- ducts buying margarene or not willing to invest a cent a pound butterfat during the .month of June, it is most discouraging and also gives the government an op - .00 / for Better, Faster\ • / LONG DISTANCE SERVICE ! use your veg o'50.42 ‘TELEPHONE NUMBERS/ NUMBERS • portunity to withdraw its support of the industry when farmers re- fuse to do their small part. It is not all the responsibility of the creamery to advertise. Some farmers do not know that cream- eries spend a greater amount than the producers in the field of sales promotion. We nmst tell the Canadian con- sumers the need of three glasses of milk a day; at present the con- sumption is .88 of a pint. We must. tell them the high qualities of our cheese, butter and other dairy pro- ducts. They must be sold on tele- vision, radio and press but with- out farmers' co-operation it can- not be accomplished. Juniors From UK To Visit Ontario Farms Guests of Ontario Junior Farm- ers this month, and. "throughout June and July are four yqung folk from England and 'Wales. Their visit is being sponsored by the On- tario Department of Agriculture and the Junior Farmers' Associat- ion - of Ontario at the same time that four young folk from Ontario are 'being entertained in England, Scotland and Wales. THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE Evidence is to hand that these Huron County "Voices" are read beyond our .county boundaries. A beautiful little Northwestern On- tario town less than 2,000 popula='. tion is bedevilled by drink. It is in L.C.A. territory and is amply sup- plied with legal liquor outlets, They have two beverage rooms, -a government liquor store, and a brewer's warehouse. A small group M. citizens, greatly concerned at the deplorable conditions, met some time ago to do something. At the first meeting this column in Huron County Weeklies was re- ferred to, and a similar plan was launched. A few of the group, chipped in to pay 'for the first`in- sertions, but later fees were ac- cepted to ,defray expenses. This local temperance league is increas- ingmembershipandworking in is beyond its town limits. One of the group writes, We have always been wet, 'a hang -over from old timber days. We had at one time seven sawmills here. I personally know conditions in Blank (a small Huron County town), I lived there 14 years. Conditions are better there than here ag regards drink- ing. We have a run of petty po- lice court cases that Blank is free from, or mostly so." Surely such testimony should have weight with us. We are under the Canada Temperance Act which allows no legal outlets for the sale of bever- age alcohol. The Courts have fre- quently complimented us on our comparative freedom from crime, of which the chief contributing fac- tor is drink.

The young people are Jean Davies from Evenjobb, Wal- es; Daphne Yeates, Walton on the Hill, Stafford; Robert Cox, Ilches- ter, • Somerset and John Hidderley, and inspiring sessions.
