Federation Fieldman Stresses The
Importance of Friday's Hog Vote
(By jr. Carl
On July 25 Ontario Hog Pro-
ducers will. vote on the Hog Pro-
ducer's Marketing Plan. If this
Marketing Plan, is defeated you
wall have no opportunity to put
it or any other Marketing; Plan
for hogs in force for at least two
years.
Economists, who have studied
the situation, have indicated that
in two years contract farming
could dominate the production of
hogs. The open market as provid-
ed under the (present Hog Pro-
ducers Marketing Plan is the only
protection the family farm has a-
gainst the invasion of hog farm-
ing by huge corporations through
contracts.
I'm quite sure there would be a
place on the family farms for the
profitable production of a thous-
and or two broilers per year if
Hemingway)
they had the 'same open market
for ibroilers that we presently en-
joy forr hogs. Let us all realize
how important our vote is on July
25.
Let us consider this on the basis
of 100 hog ,producers::
If 75 of that hundred go to the
Polls and 25 vote "NO" and 50
vote "YES" the Marketing Plan
as defeated since 662/s percent
must vote "YES".
A 75 percent ballot is a great
deal higher than is recorded in
most municipal elections; seldom
has this percentage been equalled
in any provincial or dominion el-
ection.
If we can. judge by the letters
and expensive advertising being
used by the opposition to the Plan
we must admit that there will be
opposing votes and that the op-

This means that for emery op-

It is Largely those tiv'J'o failed to

Farmers Union
Director Urges
Farmers To Vote
(By Robert Taylor, Huron District
Director - of the Ontario Farmers
Union)
As leader of a farm organiza-
tion in this county, I feel it is
my duty to remind you, the Hog
Producers, of the coming vote on
the Hog Marketinlg Plan on Fri-
day,
day, July 25. I do not intend, for
various reasons, to dictate to any-
one the stand ;they should take.
The first and most important
reason is that it is the policy of
the Ontario Farmers Union that
its members make their own deci-
sion, secondlly I have every con-
fidence that the Hog Producers
of HuronCounty are quite cap-
able of forming their own opinion
on this marketing plan.
.I hope that every Hog Producer
has made sure that his name in on
the voters list and that he is
aware of the issues which are in-
volved.
If however, you have any ques-
tions regarding the marketing
plan, I would hope that you will
get in touch with your township
director or county president of
the Hog Producers.
The Provincial Govermsnent, thr-
ough the (Farm Products' Market-
ing Board, is conducting this. vote
to give you, the hog producer, an
opportunity to voice your opin-
ion, so I u^oul'd like to remind you
of the .democratic slogan (to vote
as you like but be sure and vote).
