e
were around 400 hog producers
alt the' annual meeting reipreseret-
ing almost every township in On-
tarlo and there was scarcely a
dissenting voice. :One moan 'w'ho
has opposed the marketing sys-
tem from tliis d'istriet 'VMS ,pre-
sent but had not a word to say
against it. We feel it is .one of
the best :marketing systems we
Have in Ontario and with the .00-
aperation o8 all hog inodueens
in !bhe .district It is bound to go
ahead.
Through a full-fledged market-
ing program' based 'on a policy of
self-help", Ontario hog produ-
cers have decided to Shand on
theca• own feet, Charles McInnis,
president of 'the Ontario Hog
Producers' Association told the
organization's two-day 'annual
meeting being held in Toronto
on March 1 and 2.
"We .have adapted 'a:policy .of
self -heap. Our policy to date has
been one of permitting the esta-
blished processing fiuiins to con-
tinue operations, While we, our-
selves, albten77pt to restore the
open :market,—selling to the buy-
er 'who can pay She highest price
and delivering the goods," Mr.
McInnis said.
Mr. McInnis reviewed some of
the steps up ibo the present posi-
tion a fo'liowing a policy of
self -!help. He said, "Previously,
90% of our hogs were dumped
at the' buyers' door with no price
abbached, and no understanding
as to 'price."
"flog 'producers, along with
other farmers, have 'the rigiilt to
bargain for the sale of their
goods. And it was your 'decision,
as producers, to set up a Maa+k-
eting Agency under the provi-
sions of the Farm Products
Marketing Act to sell your pro-
ducts and 'deliver your goods to
Hog Marketing
Discussed
The 'Seaforth News,—I at-
tended the anneal meeting . of
the Ontario 'Hog (Producers last
week in Torbnto as the delegate
for Hay Township. This has been
a' hot issue for some !bine. There
the buyer w110 would pay the
best 'price."
"Rut the fact remains," charg-
eded
Ma.,. McInnis, "thout millions
are . spent by non -producers to
keep livestock away . from bhe
open market and preventopen
competition 111 'buying. It has
done irraparabt'e ,harm to the
livestock industry. Why Should
any one try Ito deny the farmer
the right of open competition in
the selling of his .goods? For
ibis sake a Agriculture and pro-
gress we twist have the open
market and open competition."
"If we want this program to
develop," Mr. Mobnnis said, "you
in11155 sharein publicizing it. Fol-
lowing this meeting there should
Ibe a 'meeting in every country at
which a hoard slhould attend to
work out a plan for contacting
every (hog producer and acquaint
him with the 'purpose and accom-
plishments of this organization."
Mr, McInnis reviewed the
]trend in production, gtsallity of
production and market outleits.
Canada increased !production of
hogs in 1955 by, 160.% over,.
1954. Mr. !McInnis said. "This
inerease, while encouraging, is
not good enough. If we are to
keep the oonsuunption of ICanS-
dian pork high, and 'Canada is
our best market, we have to sup-
ply more lean pork to the con-
sumer. Our ;position in the Am-
erican market will be determin-
ed by quality. 'Canadian hams
are not selling for as high a
price as bhe European 'product
because they are not as uniform
in quality as our competitors."
Mr. McInnis also pointed out
'that, "the production of hogs
has 'ince'eased in Canada faster
than o111• market outlets and we
nila51 be prepared to handle sur-
pluses if we are going to pro-
duce them!."
