The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. A short talk was given on the set-up of the Federation. Wilmot Haacke gave a report en the recent County meeting and intro- duced. the guest speaker, Archie Mor- gan, Usborne township, President of -the Huron County Federation of Ag= .riculture. The speaker expressed pleasure in seeing such a large atten- dance and commented on the large number of ladies and young people present stressing.the fact that the Federation of Agriculture was a family organiation. He explained the . action taken by Huronr•County in in- stituting. n stituting. the survey of farm ,condi- tions and pointed out that a large acreage intended for 'beans 'had! been switched to coarse grains stating that ithis' was'. good business as western feed oats • were already unobtainable. The stand taken by Huron County. with reagrdito the proposed hog'pro- ducers association was explained. The highlight of this most interesting address was that dealing with the cost of production project carried out dur- ing May to find •out the cost of pro- ducing one dozen eggs under farm conditions. The Government experts who assisted the County Federation representative (the' speaker) estima- ted that 10%.of the hens found in farm flocks should have been culled. if this was general throughout the country it was pointed out that about three million hens could be disposed of for meat without reducing egg pro- duction and that the consequent sav- ing of feed could be diverted to the production of more food for Britain. Salutations from:the Stanley Town. ship unit were brought by Murray Grainger (President) and John'A. McBwen (vice President). Clarence Perdue (violin.) and Ed, Diehl (guitar) gave two selections that were much appreciated and brought forth the, comment front Ar- ohie Morgan that .the only thing he saw wrong with'schoolhouse meet. ings was that' the floor could not be cleared for a dance. The I%lmesville School girls chor- us: Aileen Glidden, Marie Glidden, Ruth Lawson, Lola Jervis, Gloria Pal- mer and Phyllis McClinchey, gave two delightful numbers and it was not surprising to hear that these young ladies had won a silver cup and two banners at the Goderieh Musical Fes- tival and had broadcast over GKNX, they were a credit to themselves and to their teacher. Jack Dempsey who is the Federa- tion Director in S.S. No. 3 and to whops credit is due for the excellence of the evening program proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all who con- tributed to the success of the meeting.

No. 9 it was asked why a 10e per pound butterfat drop had occurred in April. The -Federa- tion secretary, Geo, Ginn communi- cated with the Ontario Cheese Pro- ducers' Association on this subject and as it is of interest to a large number of farmers in this district the full text of the reply follows: Belleville, May 22, 1942 Dear Sir: -- 1 have your letter of May 16th, From January 1st, to March 28111, in- clusive the price of cheese on the Listowel board was 25 rents. From April 4th, to May 9th, inclusive the price ranged from 23% cents down to 19% cents. This means that for February and March cheese, you would be paid on the basis of 25 cents per pound with the exception of pro- bably two sales of March cheese made in. April, For April cheese you were paid on the basis of from 203 cents down to 19% cents. These prices are. taken from Listowel Cheese Board reports and they may net be exactly. what you. received, nevertheless. they indicate that your returns for,Feb- r•uary and March cheese against April cheese show a da.op of 4 to 5 cents per lb, which would be the principal reason for the' drop of 10 cents per pound in butterfat. You understand of course that there are other factors entering into difference in price, such as the amount of premium money for quality you received and also if there were any undergrade cheese. You asked the question as to why this drop should take place when the price of cheese was fixed. It is true that the maximum: price for cheese from November 1st, 1941 to April 30th, 1942 inelusive was. 25 cents per pound ,and! frim May lst, the maxi- mum price was 20 cents f.o.b. factory for domestic puruohases and 20 cents f.o.b. Montreal for export. You will note that these are' all maximum prices, which, accounts for the varia- tion in the prices you received for the period under discussion. ' Yours very truly, 8. L.
