Having a part in the organization of the "FAME" share sales campaign last week was no exception. When something needs to be done we can always look to people who are busy to get the job done. The canvassers who turned out to the information meetings were certainly no ex- ception. Their enthusiasm was almost matched by their fear of their ability to go out and be salesmen. It was hard to understand this fear of selling something in which they had at least re- ceived some information which would certainly give them some advantage over the prospective purchaser, yet these same men seemed to have little fear of their ability"to sell cattle once a year to men who are in the cattle buying business every day of the week year after year. Farmers are no more match of the cattle buyer than the cat- tle buyer is-. a match of the farmer in Ioading bales all day. Then there was the meeting of people in the canvass. I had the opportunity of doing a lit- tle canvassing in an area where I didn't know the people. In a situation of this kind I can't refrain from analyzing the peo- ple I called on. All were un- animous in the need for farm- ers to have improved income. Those who purchased, and this was very nearly half of those called on, seemed to con- sist of two groups. There was the younger farmer who was really finding the going rough. He pinched a little harder and FOR CO.OP,',, CERTIFIED BINDER TWINE ) KNOTLESS STRONGER FULL LENGTH SMOOTHER CO.OR CERTIFIED BINDER TWINE High quality fibers are combined with the finest manu- facturing and testing facilities in the production of Co -Op Binder Twine.

SEAFORTH FARMERS on. fly PA;RBAlRN It's pat mosual for consu - ers to. xtlainttin that they pay too much for toad, nor is it Un- common to hear farmers say they don't get enough either for what they sell or of what the consumers pay. Recently, we ran across some figures for the United States which bear out the contention of the farmers in that country and we imagine the situation in Canada is very similar, although the same type of figures are not as readily available. The US figures are issued by the Department of Agriculture in Washington. Last year each consumer in the US spent $394 for food (that's an average, of course) which represents only 20 per cent of their disposable income. This is actually more money than in the immediate post- war years, 1947-9, when the av- erage was $319 per year, but that figure then represented 26 per cent of their disposable in- come. So consumers .last year were not spending as much of their income on food. On the other hand, the farm- er --or primary producer—is get- ting less and less of the con- sumers' food dollar m the US. Last year the farmers' share was 39 cents compared to the record high in 1945 of 53 cents. Now if you want to get out your sharp pencil you will find the farmer gets approximately $154 per consumer, so he has to have a lot of consumers before his income is comparable to theirs. Now comes themost interest- ing set of figures—food . con- sumption in pounds per person in the US. Last year the av- erage was 1,488 pounds of the produce of farm, ranches and fisheries although we notice the USA includes coffee, tea and cocoa in the list and most of these are surely imported. How- ever, those three items only ac- count for 17 of those 1,488 pounds, so they are not too im- portant, although in terms of the dollars they cost they would be. Theywould also raise the average cost per pound which is the next step we took with our little pencil. _ If 1,488 pounds cost $394, one pound --costs about 262 cents. Now we are assuming the USDA statisticians used just about the same list of foods to figure out the average cost of same to con- sumers as they did to figure out how much each ate, so it's fair for us to work out this aver- age price per pound. Going fr- ther, if the farmer gets 39 cents of the consumer's dollar, he is then receiving about 10 and one- third cents per pound for this procedure. Sounds pretty cheap, doesn't it? The importance of the dairy industry is indicated bY the fact that dairy products, ex- cluding butter which is includ- ed in fats and oils, constitute the largest single category with 414 out of the 1,488 po That works out at about 250 quarts of milk per person in the US; fruit and vegetables, not including potatoes, were second at 409 pounds, while the spuds by themselves account for 108 pounds. Meat, including bought a share in order that his bargaining power in selling would be stronger in order that the years to come would be a Iittle better. Then there was the farmer who was nearing the end' of the road. He could expect little fin- ancial benefit in the few years left, but was only interested that the road be a little smooth- er for the younger feet to trav- el. Then there were ,those who didn't purchase and seemed to have no intention of doing so in the future. This seemed to be a very small group who were quite confident that they could care for themselves. They were quite ready to agree that conditions were bad and there was real danger of many farm- ers being forced off their farms but it also seemed that they were quite sure it would'nt be them. I wonder? From the promises received for future purchases, the lack of ready cash was all too ap- parent. While in some cases, no doubt, these promises will not be kept, there can be no doubt farmers will be process- ing their livestock through their own plants. It will depend largely on a successful harvest whether we will have these plants in operettas by this time next year. USBORNE AND HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.

MORRIS COUNCIL PROVIDES MID-MAITLAND REPRESENTATION Morris Township council, meeting recently, named Ross Smith as the representative for Morris Township to attend the meeting with regard to the en- largement of the Middle Mait- land Conseevation Authority in the Town Hall, Wingham, on Sept. 14, at 2 p.m. By -Law No. 12, 1961, setting special rate for tile drainage loap, was passed. The assessor was asked to make a check on the mileage in regard to the application of Raymond Schmidt to have his school tax trans- ferred to the Separate School in Wingham. Wm. Elston was named a commissioner on the Bluevale Drain.

How to win in this constant battle to prevent top soil from being wrested from them is told in Publication 1083, available from the Information Division of the Canada Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. Under the title of Soil Ero- sion by Water, research experts of the department give dramatic reminders of the need for con- stant vigilance. At Ottawa in 1.946 it was proved' that 66.1 tons of valu- able topsoil wer washed from one acre in 60 minutes by. a flash rain of 22.9 inches. While erosion sleeps during The winter it is active in all provinces during the remainder of the year. Damage is heavier when rainfall follows long periods of dry weather and sun and wind have dried out the surface. ' The booklet gives a variety of means of fighting erosion by water, especially on slopes, choosing the methods that are easily and cheaply available to farmers. poultry and fish, is well down the line at 178 pounds per per- son. * o * Today's Tidbit: US farm im- ports in 1960 were the lowest in 11 years. p.m. The following accounts were paid: Relief account, $172.60; Glen Sellers, Turvey Drain, $5; James A.

Are Self Immunizing Ability of some new potato varieties to seal off certain viruses which infect them has the effect of giving the plants immunity to these viruses, , Seedlings with this kind of immunity to four common vir- uses were developed by the Can- ada Department of Agriculture's research station at Fredericton, N.B., reports J. Munro. In the case of mosaic disease, which quickly spreads through a susceptible plant causing few- er or smaller tubers,. it was found that breeding with sel- ected parents produced new var- ieties which could become in- fected but did not have the dis- ease. If the plant becomes infected, the virus multiplies rapidly at the point of infection and kills the cells of the potato plant at that point. The dead potato cells, which are seen as small, black spots on the leaves, s off the virus from the n gh- boring living cells. T s pre- vents the virus from spreading throughout the plant. It is expected that new- -var- ieties of potatoes with this type of resistance will be available soon. 'blue coal' Champion Stove & Furnace Oil WILLIS DUNDAS DUNDAS and LONEY Phone 573 or 138 W. C.
