DROP IN PRICES
PAID PRODUCERS
FOR DOMESTIC HOGS
Increased hog marketings, since
the announcement of the new United
Kingdom'. bacon contract and ac-
companying price increases, have
produced a sharp drop in pricey paid
producers for domestic hogs.
The current price at London is
$21,60 for Grade Ai. dressed and do-
livered. Early in the month, prices
went as high aa $22.75' in Toronto
and even $23.25 in Montreal. That
was at the peak of what W. E.
Tunrmon, secretary of the Ontario
Hog 'Producers' .Marketing Board,
termed a "price war."
In Short Supply
At that time hogs were in short
supply, and processors had to reach
out sometimes f`ai from their own
territories to get them. Consequently,
prices rose. Then came the announce-
ment of the new bacon contract.
which provides for an increase in
price from $25 per 100 pounds of
Wiltshire sides, f.o.b. seaboard to $29.
On January 13, one-half of the
$4 increase in exportprice came into
effect, along with a corresponding
increase in pork prices for the do-
mestic inarket. having the effect of
increasing marketings.
Supply Improved
Now the processors are able to
get enough - hogs without paying
much more than what is considered
the floor price, $21.70 on grade A
hogs, f.o.b. Toronto.
.Apparently the trend • is causing
some concern among farmers.
Mr. Tummon points out that the
producer is •benefiting. Whereas,
ever since, last May until the new
price came into effect the midde of
this month, the floor price 'has been
$19.70 f.o.b. Toronto for Grade A
hogs, it is naw $21.70.
Mr. Tumnron is of the opinion
prices might go "some higher," ac-
cording to the effect of supply and
demand on the market but not lower.
The big demand early in the month
when marketings were low, created
unnaturally high prices which, in the
opinion of some livestock observers,
tended to hide from the producer,
temporarily at least. the benefits of
the new price schedule.

HURON ROAD EAST
Farm Forum Meets
lS' OWN NEWSY PAGE
COMMODITY SCHEMES
AND CARTELS FOR Ulyt
DISCUSSION SUBJECT.
The following is a summary of the
Findings sent to the Ontario Farm
.Radio; Forum' Office following the
broadcast of January 20. The sub-
ject of the meeting was "Commodity'
Agreements and Cartels." •
"Commodity Agreements and Car-
tels." What are they, how do they
differ?. The topic sounded like 'the
name of a college textbook: indeed
the Farm Feiner findings sheets of
January 20 indicate .rural people
spent an evening of inter: sive study
and discussion on this, rather diffi-
cult economic subject. 'Forums were
ready to admit the similarities, "They
are somewhat similar," acknowledges
Batteau Forum, "in that they control
production and regulate prices."
But Forums discovered several
sharp distinctions. "Commodity
agreements are agreements among
manufacturers" points but Port
Ryerse in Norfolk. 85 per cent of
the groups made this distinction and
usually followed it up with the con-
clusion that a government deal was
more likely to be in the interests
of the whole country while a cartel
agreement was likely to .benefit one
group only;. S.S. No. 19 in Lamb -
ton put it this way: "Commodity
agreements . work for producer and
consumer. Cartels just work for
manufacturers. Kelvin in Brant
found this distinction: "Cartels give
no consideration to consumers while
commodity agreements do.", Then
too, numerous group*, among them
Welcome in Durham do not like the
fact that "cartels are''a secret agree-
ment between industrialists whereas
commodity agreements are given
wide publicity. Cumnock in Welling-
ton sees this difference: "A commod-
ity agreement promotes trade, cartels
restrict trade." Alport Road in
Muskoka levels this accusation at
cartels, "they often resort to false.
scarcities to maintain their high
price." The conclusion is apparent:
rural people are against cartels, they
are in favour of commodity agree-
ments. •
To get down to particulars, Forums
discussed the 1946 wheat agreement
between Canada and Great Britain.
Is the principle of sacrificing a high
price now for the assurance of stable
prices sound? A. majority of Ontario

regarding future plans. -
Wohelo Class Annual
The annual meeting of the Wohelo
Class' was held in the ohurch school-
room Friday evening; with Mrs. D.
Kyle, president, in the chair. Edison
Forrest presented the topic, "Europe
Today: her farmers want to work
in Peace," in a very interesting and
informative manner, Misses Mary
Goodwin, Betty Mickle and Jenny
Jolly, contributed a -pleasing trio, "All
Through the Night." Miss Eleanor
Cook was accompanist. Miss Lenore
Nornninton favored with an interest-
ing story, 'Fable of Churchill and
the Carp." It was• deccided to hold
the class meeting the last Monday
of each month.
Officers elected for 1947: Presi-
dent, Mrs. Wesley Jones; vice-presi-
dent, David Kyle; secretary, Miss
Violet McClymont; treasurer, Mrs.
Ross Forrest pianist, Miss Gladys
Luker; buying committee -Mrs, Jack
Corbett, Miss Edna Walsh, Mrs. Ross
Forrest. Contests directed by Miss
Gladys Luker were enjoyed.
Forums, with little wheat to sell,
readily agreed. There were those,
however, who thought in terms of
bacon and eggs, hesitated a bit. No.
6 'Ramsey in Lanark accepted the
principle at stake but offered this
important proviso, "if farmers are
faced with a fixed price then other
prices must be controlled." Shipka
in Huron argues for the wheat agree -
anent, "it gives the producer an idea
of what he is to get and he can pro-
duce accordingly." Front Road East
in Northumberland offers a criticism,
"the plan should have been for a
much longer period, say twenty
years." -
