Later we were issued our equipment necessary for our seven weeks. For the rest of that day we got acquainted and got used to the surroundings. A regular day of work at Camp started at 6:30 in the morning till 1:30 in the afternoon; then from 1:30 till10:00 was our own. Dur- ing uring this time we mostly played sports, read books, cleaned our riftes. washed and Pressed our clothing. or almost anything else you cotild think of to do, About once a week we were able to go into Grand Bend. So while we were in Grand Bend we surely had a great time. We either went roller skating or had fun on the rides and with the other amuse- ments. Around the middle of camp we packed up our troubles in our old frit bags and biked off for a taste of a long march and sleeping unr der the stars. Also about the same time we took off to the tented area at which we had manouvers with blank ammunition, steel helmets and other equipment. This we found very interesting. We had two trips out to the ranges, where we shot the .303 rifles and one trip where we shot the L.M.G., or Brea gun. Also we had another trip near the end of camp. when we witnessed .our offi- cers firing the S.M.G. or Sten gun, which fired 30 rounds in approxi- mately three seconds. As you already know that when a group of boys get together and start a little mischief, big things often result. For instance, our section raised the roof one night with noise, so the next"day we got two hours of extra drill, which wasn't fun! During our stay at camp we wit - what's aparly without Coke?

Out of all this comes the reward of having bad a taste of army life, and of course, the $100 which is given to us for going to Cadet Camp. which was sure worthwhile. Announce Schedule For Farm Forums District farm forums are prepay ing for a busy season as National Farm Radio Forum goes on the air with a broadcast November 8 on Farm Forums in the Community. "After 15 years of practice the forums have asked for a chance to look at themselves," Mr. Griesbach says. "What makes a good forum, and how can it be of real value in the rural community — without raising the cry, `Too many organ- izations'? This is a real chance for our 1.,200 forums to take a long, hard look at themselves and the job they're doing." Some 20,000 Canadian farm peo- ple will be meeting to discuss this and other topics every Monday night until the end of March. The important question: What is the Farmer's share of the consumer's dollar? will come up for discus- sion on Monday, Nov. 15. This will be followed on Nov. 22 by a consideration of farm insurance.

Report Shows Additional Profit Officials of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers' Association claim an addi- tional $6,000,000 in profit has come to Ontario hog producers, through savings and gain achieved lay the United Livestock Sales in its 19 months operation, in a re- lease issued this week. This total, has been made up in several ways: During 1953, based on the spread between Toronto and Winnipeg markets and compared to the four-year average prior to setting up the marketing agency, Ontario hog producers gained $3,- 309,318. During seven months' op- eration in 1954, on the same basis of calculation, the gain was $1,786,- 980. In the period, February 1 to De- cember 31, 1953, Ontario B1 hogs sold at an average price of $31.31. In the same period, the average price at Winnipeg was $28.45, or a spread of $2.86 between Toronto a nd Winnipeg. T h e average spread during the seven months of 1954 was $2.48. During the four years prior to setting up the ag- ency. the average spread' between Toronto and Winnipeg was $1.32. Thus, after allowing for any inci- dental costs, the increase in the spread in favor of Toronto was $1.44 per cwt., or $2.16 per hog in 1953. In 1954, for the first seven months, the increase was $1.16 per cwt., or $I.74 per hog.

A lit- tle multiplication shows a gain from this source of over ,$5 million as stated above. Since the agency started opera- tion there has been another gain of approximately $450,000 through having the Toronto price accepted and paid across all Ontario, rather than having a lower price paid for about 50 per cent iof the prod'uc- tion. By being able to dispense with condemnation insurance, hog pro- ducers have been saved another $540,000. The agency also made several hundred thousand dollars during the hog cholera epidemic. As shown by the following fig- ures, selling costs have 'been re- duced by 37 per cent: Selling cost per hogs before the agency started: Commission ..... ,25c Pro -rating .05e Stockyard fee Hog Producers' .13c Assoc... .02c Total .45c Before the agency commenced operation, except for the compara- tively small number of hogs that came to the stock yards, very few sales .statements contained the foregoing costs. They were de- ducted from the amount due, nev- ertheless, but many producers did not realize they were paying these costs. Since the agency started these selling costs are shown on the statement and each producer knows exactly how much it costs to sell his hogs. Selling cost per hog agency started: Commission .20c Pro -rating .05c Stockyard tees .02c Hog Producers' Assoc.02c • Total after the .29c or a saving of 16 cents on the sell- ing cost of every hog. -- On the sale of two million hogs, this saving amounts to $320,000. The revenue received by the Mar- keting Agency, to date, is in the neighborhood of $60''0,000. Thus, for every dollar invested in sell- ing Ontario hogs, Ontario Hog Producers have received $10.00 or more. • The net profit during the 19 months of operation has been $69,- 897. 69:897. Forty per cent of this ,has gone to the Co-operative move- ment, and 60 per cent to the four commission firms on the market, who have joined the Co-ops to form the United Livestock Sales. Not only has U.L.S. received the benefit of their experiences, but they have become participants rather than competitors. OOut of these profits. U.L.S. assumes the responsibility for payment of all hogs marketed. Contact with a number of insurance companies in- dicated that from none, could guar- antee of payment be secured, for so low a fee. Summing up the operation of the agency up to the present, C. W. McInnis, president of the On- tario Hog Producers' Association, said, "the marketing agency ha, made forOntario hog producers' well over $6,000,000, and its posi- tion orition is now being further strength- ened bytheopening of new eal A g sed. branches. The few steps already' taken in producer marketing has paid big dividends and, with in- creased production here andl abroad, the new method of sell- ing elling can bring us greater returns than by the old way. • It can gal far toward stabiliziiig .prices if •ands when we produce the tools to con- trol exports.

To the Editor Toronto, Sept. 29. 19 !! ! : Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir; It is good to read. that. according to the experts, th-s population of Canada ought to be nudging 25,000,000 by 1980. On they other hand, I suggest it would be more than interesting to learn just where the additional food supplies. are to come from, a quarter cen- tury hence, against the background of fewer farmers — 115.000 !ewes. than as recently as 1941—'and to- day's increasing accent on urban- ization and city life? While the mechanization 'dowa on the farm' has been estimated by - the U.S. Department of Agriculture to have "decreased the use of hu- man labor in producing when from 135 man-hours of labor per 100 bushels in 1910-14 to 34 hours in the 1950-53 period," the fact re- mains that `man does not live by bread alone', even in a •materialt sense in this favored corner of the world; while the mouths around. Jack Canuck's breakfast, dinner and supper table (net natural in- crease plus immigration) are in- creasing an estimated 1,300 ever? day. These are new customer: for the Canadian farmer in his near- est, best and most enduring mar- ket. What land has a brighter future for the farmer? I'd like to hear about it. Meanwhile, it is not go- ing to be all smooth sailing. in the changeover to steel -iron muscles. plug motor fuel and fertilizer oar Oanadian farms. There are mar- keting and financial problems ter be solved, and these are going ter take an increasing slice out of the average 1armer'e hard-won leisure and peace of mind. Only last weer my farm editor reminded. me thee "the change to nrechanizatlon has Mt, cut labor costs but increased cap- tal investment. Col. E. W. Jor- ma.ck, assistant professor of he department of extension (Univers- ity of Alberta) estimates that a young man starting farming in this province needs about $45,000 over the years to become established"' I feel like adding to the above scene the assertion of my ranee. - line neighbor: "But it still take* a lifetime to become a master - farmer."
