Those who sell direct from the farm have no way of checking the yield. In the past four years the Toronto price has averaged $280 higher than Winnipeg, while in the five years before that the average was only $165. Eldred Aiken, expressed disap- pointment that Huron County was not producing asmany grade A hogs as in other . counties -only 34.25 perecent, as compared with 40.5 percent in Bruce County. He said that Toronto yards were no longer the big centre for hogs, but Kitchener is handling the most, then the Harriston yards, and To- ronto was next. Cost per hog for handling at the yards, has been 9.6 cents per hog. Bert Lobb stated his hope that the Clinton yards would soon be operating two days in the week for better efficiency. The resolutions committee was made up of Ed. Hendrick, Les Fortune, Harry ITern and Orval McGowan. Their resolutions were in appreciation of the co-operation of the press, the Department of Agriculture, the Federation of Ag- riculture; approval of the assem- bly point plan now in operation, and a request that truckers prop- erly indentify hogs. Another resolution brought in by Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario Farmers Union, was de- feated. His plan presented as a hog producer, was for a direction where they were directed. p 9.

Before, said Mr. :Boynton, there were only 8 per - .went of the hogs on the open mar- ket. The other 92 percent went direct to the plants. Many of the plants never had to go to the mar- ket at all. In Western Canada, at packers assembly points, farmers were getting $1 to $1.65 less than they did at Winnipeg. Now with 14 assembly points in Ontario, the greater percentage of hogs have to go on the open market, where the public interest." But the family farm would cease to exist if great- er volume was accepted as the on- ly answer. In Europe the family type farm is found to be the most economical and best type of farm- ing. We want to retain indepen- dence of individual farmer and still get some of the bargaining strength of those who supply the farmer. 10. The program is of no use to the producer. We know differ- ent.
