Vice-chairman of Ontario Hydro the Hon. Ray Connell, ministe without portfolio in the Ontari Cabinet, and member for North Wentworth, cited personal experi ence in cost-cutting on his own chicken' ranch. He told, step by step, how be cut costs..from 27 cents a pound in 1951 for broiler meat, to 19 cents a pound this year. He even told how he cut hydro costs. Mr. Connell was substituting for the scheduled speaker, the Hon. William Goodfellow, Ontario min- ister of agriculture. In reviewing the development and procedures of farm marketing legislation in Ontario, Mr. Con- nell said all Canadian provinces have now approved compulsory farm marketing acts. Huron Federation unanimously backed a resolution calling for an amendment in Ontario marketing vote requirements which would grant approval on 60 per cent of those producers who actually vote. At present the legislation requires 60 per cent to vote in favor, and the 60 per cent must represent at least 51 per cent of all registered producers. County federations across On- tario have been approving the reso- lution because by present rules any producer who fails to vote is, in effect, voting against the scheme. Mr. Connell said, "Your federa- tion impressed the cabinet that there is possibly need for a change. Since it can be changed by regulation, possibly there will be a change." He went on to tell that in Bri- tain there is a dual -voting require- ment which demands a 66 2/3 per- centage representation of the quan- tity of the product to be marketed and also 66 2/3 percentage of pro- ducers. Any producer who does not register prior to a marketing scheme vote is prohibited from growing the product in question if the vote is successful. The issue in the hog -marketing vote was defined by James Jack - lin, Ontario fieldman for the Fed- eration of Agriculture. The vote is not a vote for or against the direc- tional program for hog selli , he said, an.d it is not a vote for or against the hog assembly points now in operation. The only issue at stake, he said, is whether farm- ers are in favor of doing their hog marketing collectively, themselves, through their own sales agency. ,1 "Not just the Conservatives, but d pretty well all parties," said Mr. Connell, "are agreed that we , should try to provide the farmers with farm• marketing legislation that they can use. We try to give you the tools with which you can ✓ do the job . . . We feel, how - o ever, that, whatever the vote -is, on any scheme, unless by and _ large it has the great majority of people behind it, it is not going toWork." The present president, Douglas McNeil, RR 6, Goderich, will' be Isucceeded by Winston Shapton,'RR 1, Exeter. Mr. McNeil has been :president of the association for the past two years.

President In Ottawa Area Ontario Farmers' Union Presi- dent, Gordon L. Hill, of Varna, spent the last two weeks holding Farm Union meetings in Ottawa vicinity. Part of Mr. Hill's time was spent in the House of Com- mons, Ottawa, where he joined OFU Honorary President, A. V. Cormack, and • other Farm Union representatives, who have repres- ented Ontario farmers in meeting with elected members and cabinet members with regard to the agri- cultural price support legislation, which will be presented to the House in Ottawa this week. President Hill reports that top brass directors of the CFA, in- cluding the first vice-president after' having had directives given them by their Pool Elevators and Federation of Agriculture conven- tions, which demanded floor prices for farm commodities at cost of production levels, bad asked only 70 per cent of cost of production demands made by their organiza- tions. Mr. Hill states that the Farm Unions alone face the almost' im- possible task of raising up the farmers, the Government and, worst of all, the Federation of Agriculture, to a level where there is at least some hope of getting supports for farmers who other- wise may not be on their farms in the near future.
