FEDERATION NEWS By J. Carl I-Iemingway Just -a reminder that the Dairy Princess contest is only a short time away so get your entries in. There is a trip to Britain for the Ontario winner. The decision of the Ontario Hog Producers to request the continuation of a price support policy rather than a deficiency payment plan may have come as a shock to some farmers. In turning' to a deficiency payment Plan Agriculture Vtjnister Hark- ness was apparently determined to prevent the vertical integra- tion of farm production. This may not be as necessary as was thought. From the rumors com- tng my way it would seem that some feed companies are begin- ning to find that the feeding of hogs can be unprofitable and cer- tainly many farmers have found that hog feeding on Contract can easily be financially dangerous. However the real objection to deficiency payment on hogs is the fact that United States would have the right, and justly so, to impose a duty on our pork ex- ports equal to any deficiency pay- ment received by our producers. Since this payment to our prod- ucers is to be based on a yearly average, United States would have to guess at the first of the year what our deficiency pay- ment would be at the end of the year. Their only hope for ade- quate protection would be sure to estimate high enough. This could and probably would mean that our export to the U.S,. which we have spent years to 1 ld SBAPORTH LBWS--1,11ifl ay, Julie 4, 1919 build'.oir a quality basis, would be lost. Deficiency payments teem to work satisfactorily 10 Britain where they wish to increase pro- duction but, where ^ the proalct lits to go into export, there seems to be too many interna- tional complications.
