G.ord- on Greer called 'attention to the. Tact that conflict could develop between different.. commodity groups. For example grain grow- ers would like higher prices while livestock feeders like cheap" feed: The Federation of Agricul- ture must niche every effort to unite the'aims of these different groups for the benefit Of all farmers, The stabilized prices of the dif- ferent commodities was discussed at length, The Cream Producers felt that the 64c for butter was realistic and was the price arriv ed at by their formula. The ° Concentrated Producers felt that the drop of ?o in: powd- er was unjustified and' would probably cause too great a trend away from powder anis flood some • other branch of the dairy industry. The ' floor price on eggs was gratifying to the poultry produc- ers though there was .some fear expressed that this might. be an incentive price which might cause surplus pr'oduction,. The wool growers felt that the 60c price with deficiency pay- ment on only the top grade was Of very little benefit since only a small percentage of this grade was produced in Ontario and SEAFORTH DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL r!r t ins L3 f TUES LAY, MAY 27th Will be held on the School Grounds commencing at 2 p.m. - Parents and the general public are cordially invited the price of lower grades would not be increased. Wheat pr'oducer's have little hope of getting more than 80% of the:lastten year average which is considered unsatisfactory. This could result in a switch to live- stock thus denroralizin'g the live• stock industry in Western Ont, In comrnenting on support pri- ces it seems to me their purpose is limited to giving the farmer some protection against being forced into bankruptcy while did- couraging the production of huge: surpluses. It also seems to me that farmers are .spending too much time and effort on support prices and might do better by de- voting a large portion of this en- :orgy to Marketing their produce more efficiently. In both hogs and tobacco where a real effort is put into selling, the producers are receiving very favourable returns. it's . worth serious consideration. At a meeting of the Huron C o u !it y -Dairy Co-Ordinating Board it was decided to hold the Dairy Princess contest in con- junction with the Soil and Crop Improvement Twilight meeting, This proved very successful last year and we are hoping for a re- peat performance. Information for prospective contestants is available at the Federation of Agriculture Office, Box 310, Clinton.
