TIEMAN'S HARDWARE O Plumbing • Heating, m Electrical Work • Oil Burner Service SALES and SERVICE FURNITURE, COAL and CEMENT PHONE 8 -- DASHWOOD At the last meeting of the board of directors of Farmers Allied Meat Enterprises on September 21, it was reported that share -sales are continuing to increase satisfactorily. In view of this a committee of the president, Mr McInnis, Mr. Frey, Mrs. Becker and Mr. Hemingway was appointed to make a preliminary study of types of processing plants. It is hoped that, by the time this study has been completed and a decision has been made, share sales will be sufficient too per- mit a study to be made on plant location. When a decision on location is 1 possible we are quite hopeful that capital will be at hand to immediately let contracts for construction. It was reported that proces- sors had made the statement that they were curtailing the sale of fresh pork as much as possible since this did not bring as high profits as cured and processed products which they are actively promoting. This hardly conforms with the idea that the trade provid- ed what the consumer wants but rather would indicate that the THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1961. trade pressuizes the consumer into buying what is most profi- table to the trade. Also while the selling of fresh !meat may not be as profi- table to the trade it may very well become profitable to the producer. Just another reason for producers looking after their own business, several years in the early for- ties, might very well bring back the loss of farms as in the de- pression years.

Farm Forums have been on the decrease in past years but it seems that the depression con- ditions which created Farm Forum are not too far removed at the moment. A bad crop, such as we had revival could ideas and infor- mation that could help us just as it did in former years when Forums were most active. Dur- ing the next month let us all take a serious look at forming a group in our community so that it will be ready to take part at the first of November.
