Phone 78 — Zurich "Huron County's Largest Car Dealer" Fieldman Urges Attendance At Brucellosis Eve is (By J. Carl Hemingway) By the time you read this about half of the Brucellosis information meetings will have been held. We hope they have been well attend- ed and that the cattle owners in the remaining townships will turn out in large numbers. The important meeting of the past week as far as farmers are concerned was the Hog Producers annual. Since this meeting was well covered by the reporters of the local weeklies I will only add some outside statements that I have heard. It has been stated that about 25 percent of our hog production is under vertical integration. This statement is immediately qualif- ied by the stating that about 20 percent of this is really product- ion credit. This really is not so much different from what has been going on for years. For a long time farmers who ran short of feed obtained feed from a mill- er until the hogs were ready for market. In this case whatever profit could be made on the hogs went to the producer. This leaves only 5 percent under the control of the large corporations. Again, while not on a large scale, this has been going on for a long time. Many farmers have taken in sows on a share basis and have taken in hogs to feed. It has been stated that the reason for the small production of hogs under vertical integration is be- cause there is little advantage to the large corporation since all hogs must be marketed through the Hog Producers Marketing Ag- ency. Does this mean that large corp- orations are only interested in farming when they have a great advantage in the marketing of that product? Farmers would do well 'to consider this before they sign a contract. The Hog Pro- ducers Marketing agency is your protection against large corpora- tions gaining this advantage. It is up to you to keep it. At a Federation of Agriculture Fieldmen's meeting in Toronto, January 30, Co -Operators' Insur- ance reported that all shares have been sold and it is hoped that the .Life Insurance Charter will be gr- anted shortly and that policies will be on sale this spring. The Land Acquisition commit- tee outlined the progress being made in obtaining better compen- sation for farms crossed by Hy- dro. Too many times in the past farmers were so glad to see the Hydro coming that they forgot the losses suffered to their farm when a line of towers or poles was er- ected across it. While the ,committee has ob- tained all it asked for in the con- tract forms it is still not satisfied with the compensation rates. The committee has been able to get Hydro to offer about three times as much as formerly offered but there is still a question whether this is acceptable to the land own- er. If you are faced with a hydro line, pipeline or highway contact your Federation about the rates of compensation before signing. 0 Greer Welcomes Throne Speech The farm program as outlined in the Speech from the Throne contains good news for Ontario farmers, officials of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture were reported as saying. In a telegra- phed message from Gordon Greer, president, from Saskatoon where he is currently attending the an- nual meeting of the Canadian Fed- eration of Agriculture, he said that the inquiry to be launched into processing, handling, storing and transporting of farm produce is welcome. "The inquiry is long overdue" he said. "Ontario farm- ers have reached the point where they have been studying the ad- visability of entering these fields themselves in order to better their own interests." Mr. Greer also said that the Federation welcomed the news that the Milk Industry Act would have amendments proposed for it which would strengthen producer marketing. He commented that the accelerated farm safety program was required and said that many county federations already were helping the department of agri- culture with the program.
