HURON FEDERATION NEWS_
BY CARL I-IEMINGWAY
At least• one person has tak-
en exception to my remarks re-
garding federal` inspection of
meats sold for human consump-
tion. 1 certainly have no obWec-
tion to the most rigjd-•inspec-
tion of Meat prodiicts, b,t I do
object to it being applied in a
diseriminatary manner. , That it
is unfair to the smaller produc-
er •.is shown in the following
quotation of a statement by
Bruce Packers of Paisley, made
to their local weekly:
"It is our fondest hope_ that
the present investigation on in-
edible meats will lead to rigid
and cwiipulsory inspection of
all meat enterprises in Canada.
Bruce Packers Ltd. has, since
its inception, tried every known
procedure " and argument to
force inspection, either by the
province or the dominion, but
so, far there.have been no'in-
terested parties. If all taxpay-
ers in Canada help pay for fed-
eral inspection in the big plants,
and our government turns a deaf
ear to giving it to the smaller
plants who earnestly desire the.
same class of inspection, then
it is quite obvious that large
packers have a monopoly on
the meat business in Canada.
This firm has spent large sums
of money to keep the establish-
ment up to date on the require-
ments" set forth by the Bruce
County Health Unit. It is pre-
pared to spend more to get in-
to a government class of inspec-
tion, which till now has ap-
peared hopeless."
To me this points up again
Every week more people dis-
• cover what mighty jobs are ac-
complished by low cost Exposi-
tor Want Ads.
A
the difficulties faced by the
large number of small opera-
tors in many different fields.
Efficiency of operation doesn't
seem too etiiiipetitive. Rather,
it is other factors of advantage
that is forcing the little people
out.
'We are alarmed at the dis-
appearance of the family farm
and we are led to.belieye that -
farms have to be huge. I 'can
agree that the family farm df
the present and future needs
to' be larger than a few years
ago, but this is simply because
the family on the farm today
can handle a larger acreage.
Farms have been increasing in
size on this basis for years. The
real problem of these family
farmers is to obtain an equal
opportunity to . purchase sup-
plies and to sell his product.
Since large corporations ,,can
move into the farming business
and operate at cost or even at
a loss that can then be made up
in processing the products or
in supplying feed, it cuts out
the one opportunity of a living
income to the one who is en-
gaged in production alone.
We have an example of thisf
in the' cattle feeding operation
of a brewery. The mash which
is a waste product from• the
brewery becomes a not -cost feed
for cattle.
In other cases, large compan-
ies with connections '..through
processing and retailing, needs
no margin of profit in produc-
tion. With others entering the
field of production, it would
seem that the only alternative
for the farmer is to take over
processing a n d',6 distribution
through Co-operative action. -

FURROW AND

(By FAIRBAIRN)'
What do all these negotia-
tions on agricultural produce
within the Common Market, the
application of Great Britain for
membership and this week's
agreement between the U.S.
and the Common Market mean
to Canadian farmers? It would
take a million words to answer
that question. in any kihd of de-
tail—even if we were capable
of doing it. Neither space nor
ability is available, but here
are a few facts that may be
helpful in trying to answer. The'
European Economic Commun-
ity, which is the official name
for the Common Market is pre-
sently comprised of Belgium,
France, West Germany, the
Netherlands, Luxemburg and
Italy. As a unit, they are the
world's largest importers of
agricultural produce taking
about one-third of the total.
They export about one-tenth of
world.....exports of agricultural
produce. -
The largest single item on
the import list for the CM is
fats and oils—they take about
half of world imports. Reduced
tariffs in this area might open
a market for Canadian farmers,
except that Canada is more of
an importing nation than an ex-
porting one- in this -field. As
far as • Ontario is concerned,
soya bean growers have just
requested a tariff ' against im-
ports of beans, oil cake and
meal and, soya bean oil in .or-
der to encourage production
here at home. We produce less
than a third of our own re-
quirements so the opening up
of an ove seas market might.
not mean mire . Also, we must
remember that tariff reductions
in the CM will not be fully ef-
fective until mid -1967' and by
that time those countries (prob-
ably plus Britain) could have in-
creased their own production.,
Next on the import list of ,the
CM are cotton, wool, jute, rub-
ber and tobacco — they take
about 40 per cent of world fm-
ports. Two of these items, wool
and tobacco, might. interest On-
tario , producers, but we suspect
the type - Of wool produced' in
this province is not what textile
mills in Europe are buying. A
market for tobacco could have
quite .a bearing on that section
of the industry if the price was
right.' The Ontario Flue -Cured
Tobacco Growers' .Meeting
Board. is extremely interested
in export markets . right now
with domestic sales lagging.
The other big item the CM
imports is grain, but Ontario
farmers haven't much to sell
abroad except winter wheat
and the CM is short mostly in
hard wheat and coarse grains.
The other products that the CM
doesn't raise enough for home
consumption are fruits, beef
and veal, and eggs. Egg con-
sumption has increased rapidly
since -the war and production
hasn't kept up but, here again,
it could catch up by 1967. There
is very little market in the CM
for dairy foods.
The entry of Britain into the
CM could have adverse effects
on our agricultural exports if
we Tose our preferential treat-
ment in . the. British market, but
it depends entirely on Oat kind
of a deal the British are able
to make. As far as the tariff
reduction program of the US,
the Canadian government is
adopting a "wait and see" atti
tude but our guess is that any
deal the US makes will hot
benefit Ontario producers. The
only possible benefit would be
that opening another export
market for' US surplus produc-
tion might strengthen some
prices in US that have a decid-
ed bearing on Canadian prices.
