CCanniunication
Editor Seaforth
IThe c trnze is out of joint and that
modern Hamlet who feels that he
was born to put it right may purely
be justified in cursing the spite that
gave hien such 5L task, We attach
Much importance to the common
sense of the average man, but if our
social and economic policies are dic-
tated by his influence then that sav-
ing attribute has been knocked
strangely awry.
We, the average men, select a
political leader who turns out to be
a modern concept of Coriolanus
whose name will remain "to the en-
suing age abhorred." We. accept as
a cure-all for our social ills a scheme
of social insurance because some
bright politician calls it social secur.'
ity. We would turn over the econom-
ic destiny of our province to men
who scarcely know the difference be-
tween the gold standard and bimetal -
ism.
We send a delegation of farm
leaders to protest the ceiling on
poultry when old hens are bringing
twenty cents per lb. with the feath-
ers on and a full crop.
We read with no sign of either
amusement or contempt production
goals set by provincial ministers of
agriculture in Jan. 1943, 'asking us
to cut an extra one and a half mil-
lion acres of alfalfa this year and
by some Jacobian application of eu-
genics make two calves grow where
only one grew before. With' indif-
ference, perhaps born of despair, we
read a statement of the W.P.T:B,
that there is as much canning sugar
in Canada this year as last and we
do not even alk "where is it?"
And what seems still more out of
keeping with democratic ideals, ex-
cept for an occasional small voice
crying in the wilderness, probably
heard but not heeded, we do not
think it worth while to protest the
method or lack of method used to
Apply Britain and our own tables
with a sufficient quantity • of bacon.
Although the British food minis-
try, seeking increased quantities, is
paying $1.98 per cwt. more for the
current year's output than last year,
we farmers are getting only `75c
more. The Canadian farmer has ibeen
betrayed, Canada's honour has been
sullied and the people of Britain who
paid the price, have been left hold-
ing an empty bag. To stimulate hog
production the W.P.T.B. last spring
put a ceiling on pork products which
reduced the price of sows $1 per
cwt. and of bacon hogs 60c, and so
farmers disgusted with the drop in
price and the likelihood of dear
grain, began liquidating breeding
stock at the rate of 5,000• a month.
Then we got another cut of $1 per
cwt. on sows although at that time
there was not enough pork to go
around. Thus because of incompet-
ence and greed we turned into a
few pounds of sausage thousands of
brood sows each of which might
have produced 2,000 lbs. • of bacon.
And what of the future? If his-
tory repeats itself we may get a
contract price higher than that of
last year with the packers taking
most of the increase or we may get
a lower price with the farmers ab-
sorbing all the loss. Why do we not
know now what that . contract will
call for that we might get ready to
fill it7 The average farmer by fol-
lowing accepted methods and start-
ing from scratch Nov. 1st when the
contract year begins, cannot increase
hog production inside of a year.
Then why in the name of all that is
sensible and reasonable are we not
given some assurance now that the
new price will be satisfactory and
that those who do the work will get
the benefits it contains?
I hear the pigs squealing for their
dinner, vociferous reminder that,
with due, respect to philosophy and
politics, it is the practical pig squeal-
er that gets his trough filled. As
some rhymester has said: "Let us
not be putting notions that are harm-
ful in your head, but the baby that
keeps yelling is the baby that gets
fed." We farmers are neither noisy
nor eloquent, but the day may yet
come when we shall learn an impor-
tant lesson from a crying baby or a
squealing .pig.
James. Love.
