Producers Fir. e First Gun
In fo Marketin 'Cans aign
The opening gun in Huron Count 's
campaign' in: support of an affirma-
tive vote on the proposedhog mar-
keting scheme,
ar-ketingscheme, was fired at a largely
attended, meeting of farmers in the
Community 'Hall, Belgrave, Monday
evening. "
Before the close, of 'the
gathering, n
nearly 200 hogProducers had regist-
ered
and had cast their ballots.
P. K. B. Stewart, Clinton, agricul-
tural representative for Huron
C'oupty, opened the meeting -and re-
quested nominations for the position
of chairman, James Michie, chairman
of 'Morris Federation of Agriculture,
being chosen.
Speakers in support of the plan. in-
cluded Harry Sturdy, Auburn, presi-
dent, Huron County Federation. of
Agriculture; Wesley Magwood, Han-
over; W. G. Johnson, R.R. 3, Owen
Sound, district director for Huron,
Grey and Bruce Counties on the On-
tario Hog 'Producers' Association; W.
V. Roy, Londesboro, secretary, Huron
County Federation of Agriculture,
who announced future meetings in the
county, as reported in another column.
Backed by Federation
"The Federation is backing the hog
producers 100 per cent," Mr. Sturdy
declared. "We feel that this is some-
thing vital to every farmer; some-
thing. that will tend to clear
up the
situation as it now exists. We want
everyone to register and everyone to
vote- Tell your neighbor to register
and cast his vote.
Mr. Magwood said he was thinking
of the boys who would be the farmers
of the years to come. He pointed out
that although the packers have a
seaboard price and the ponsumers
have a ceiling price. the producers
have no floor price for hogs.
"We farmers have only ourselves
to blame, because we are the only
trade or profession who ask 'what
will you, give' for our hogs and other
products instead of announcing the
price ourselves,", he said,,.
The. speaker explained that they
should have been collecting so much
off each hog -all during the year. "We
are at the•ceossroads and by what we
do, we're going to ,determine the fut-
ure course of our industry. This is
the first real test the Federation of
Agriculture has had to face."
Scheme Outlined .
The next speaker, 'Mr. -Johnson,
stated he was astounded at the size
of this meeting of Huron farmers. He
read extracts from the proposed
scheine, explaining, them as he went
along. He pointed out that there were
12 different schemes for 15 different
products in. Ontario today, so that it
was time the.hog producers were get-
ting busy.
The Farm Products Control Board
acts as a referee between producers
and processors. '
The speaker. said the scheme called
for a fee of two cents per hog, bur
this could be increased to five cents
by order -in -council. He did not think
two cents was enough. The scheme
was not perfect yet, but should start
slowly and build up.
Questions. Asked
The meeting was thrown open for
questions and several farmers availed
themselves of the opportunity.
In answer to one as to where the
money goes, Mr. Johnson said the
objective was to hold the British
market, and in order to hold 'it, the
hog producers of Canada must have
a man on this side to see that the
hogs are properly cured, and another
one on the other side to find out what
the British consumer wants. The basic
price would be reviewed every so
often.
Answers were also provided for
other ouestions regarding registra-
tion and voting,
Marketing Expert Urges
Plan Support at Hensall
South Huron had its opening meet-
ing in the interests of the proposed
hog marketing scheme, in Hensall
Town Hall Tuesday ..evening with a
good attendance. About 100 produc-
ers were registered and cast their
ballots.
F. K. B. Stewart, Clinton, agricul-
tural representative for Huron,
opened the meeting and requested
nominations for the position of chair-
man. A. Chambers, Stephen Town-
ship, was chosen..,.
W. ' Gborge"Jdliffiroifi,^ ,R.R: 3, Owen
Sound, director for Huron,. Grey and
Bruce Counties, spoke briefly. In in-
troducing the main speaker, he paid
tribute to him as the father and or-
ganizer of the scheme.
Hold British Market
W. E. Tummon, Foxboro, near
Belleville. secretary, Ontario Hog
Producers' Association, explained in
detail the proposal now before the
hog producers of the province for
decision, stating. that steps must be
taken to improve the quality and
continuity of supply of Canadian hogs
in the British market.
"The Englishman will buy his bacon
where the dollar goes the longest,"
the speaker declared. "We are not
going to hold the British market
through sentiment: we will hold it
only through quality and continuity
of supply. We must take steps to
assure these two things."
Mr. Tummon advocated a campaign
tri raise as high as we can the quality
of our product, Before the war, 85
per cent of the world export of pork
was to the United Kingdom. Ile re-
marked that strange as it• aright
seen,, some Canadian pork is being
handled in Britain by Danish market-,
ing agencies; this should not be.
To Control Product
"We, as hog producers, ask power
from the Farm Products Control
Board to take steps to control one
product while it remains our prop-
erty (until the carcass . is on the
rail)", he said. The packers had said
they don't buy live, hogs, butbuy
carcasses.
Mr: Tummon stated that hog pro-
ducers understood there was a basic
price of $17.65 peer cwt. for Bl hogs,
f.o.b. Toronto. But when the price
started to go down. Ottawa wrote
and said that the basic price had
disappeared over a year ago, and that
there was now no basic nor floor
price. The packers have a seaboard
price; the consumers have ceiling
prices set by the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board; and he thought the pro-
ducers at least were entitled to a
minimum price. If' packing house
labor goee up in cost, it looks as if
the increase must come out of the
producer.
The speaker pointed out that bruis-
ing colts, about 21 cents a hog on the
average which has cost Ontario farm-
ers $300,000. The packers take 1%
per cent for condemnation insurance
and give no accounting for it. "We
feel there should be an investigation
of this and other matters," he said.
Proceeds of Two -Cent Fee
"What do you propose to do with
the money from the two -cent fee?"
a member of the audience asked, when
the meeting was thrown open for
questions.
Mr. Tummon replied • that there
must be a central agency with a man-
ager, secretary -treasurer and steno-
grapher, in Canada. A. marketing
agency also should be set up over-
seas. Funds also should be put back
into the counties to raise the standard
of hog production.
"We have won the battle for quan-
tity production during the war years.
but we'must face the challenge of
foreign markets today," he averred.
"Try and have a representative vote
of the producers in your county and
see that every person who registers.

Urges All to Register
W. V. Roy. Londesboro, secretary
of Huron Federation of Agriculture,
stated that there were nearly 6,000
fanaters in Huron County and 4,000
votes should be polled. He urged all
to go back to their own comritunities
and get their neighbors to register

Yes, you can be sure of Firestone tires
standing up to any practical speed you
will ever travel. Wilbur Shaw, the famous
race driver, definitely proved' that for
you in an actual speedway test..
• Shaw drove for 500 miles at an ave-
rage speed of 100 miles per hour --on
the straightaways he hit 135 miles
per hour.
• Not a skid or blowout occurred in
this gruelling test—equal to 50,000
miles of ordinary driving.
You may never want to drive at 100 miles
per hour but it's mighty comforting to
know your Firestone tires have the
reserve strength and stamina to stand up
to any demand you could ever make of
them. When you are able to buy tires
insist on having Firestone DeLuxe
Champion tires on your car.
