"Cattle production is a. tough
game," was the summary of af-
fairs given the beef producers of
Huron County last Friday night,
by Ralph K Bennett, Chief, Live-
stock Marketing, Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa. "You might
say that the present system is
one of 'hustle and hope'."
Bennett, who is a sparkling
speaker, even without cracking ,a
smile himself, kept his audience of
almost 200 farmers interested for
well over an hour as he outlined
the various movements of beef
from range lands in the west to
the east, and to market in Wash-
ington. state and to and from To-
ronto and Chicago areas.
Interspersing his statistics, were
well-,placed humorous stories and
remarks. For instance he said;
"Things are going to get better.
You can't fall out of bed When
you're lying on the floor."
This was with regard to the op-
timistic atitude of buyers in the
United States. "This is the first
time since 1951 that they have set
the price for feeders in Canada,"
said the speaker, "They're optim-
istic of better prices. For one
reason the drouth' has broken in
the south, and ranchers are hold-
ing up sales to build up their
herds, They've taken 90,000 feed-
ers out of Canada. As a result
there is about 40,000 less cattle
on feed in Ontario.
Speaking with caution, Mr. Ben-
nett nevertheless indicated to his
,audience that the upswing in what
he called a seven-year cycle in
beef prices was on its• way again,
and suggested that, highest prices
will be in 1959.
,Giving one reason for the great-
er demand far beef, Mr, Bennett
spoke of increased .population:
"When you combine the baby bon-
us with the old biological urge,
the stork is doing a lot to solve
your problem."
He mentioned competition with
the growers in Alberta, where low
price grain easily available was
ideal for putting on gain. How-
ever, with plenty of grass here,
growers in Ontario could compete
With those in the west,
Bringing the problem down to
the individual farm, Mr. Bennett
advised more efficiency. "You're
competing' with the broiler busi-
ness, too. The time is gone when
by getting up at five am. and
bulling all day long you were guar-
anteed a living. You need courage
and determination, but your cere-
al= problems bind you together
as neighbours'. You know, they
say that city people are jiist
thousands being lonesome togeth-
er.
"Better times can only be won
by group action," he stated.
"Human beings generally adjust

You come together to share your
experiences, discuss your problems

This farming business is the mod-

Miss Joyce Jewitt, Thorridetle,

ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Jew-
itt. Other teachers who spent the

Miss Janet McGregor, Howiek

Brampton, with Mr, and Mrs.
Verne Dale, and Douglas Riley,
Eastwood, with Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. and Mrs. William Jewitt
visited relatives in Forest, on Sat-
urday.
Mrs, Kenneth Thompson who has
been a patient in Scott Memorial
Hospital, Seaforth, for three
weeks, returned home on Sunday.
Other speakers of the evening
were Andy McTavish, Paisley,
first vice-president of the Bruce
Beef Producers Association and
George Gear, agricultural repre-
sentative of Bruce.
For entertainment the producers
were treated to a group of songs
and jokes by Carl Johnson, CiKNX
TV and Radio.
A good attendance marked the
annual meeting of the Holmesville
Local Farm Union, held in Holmes-
ville School on November 1'1.
The secretary-treasurer's report
showed a, substantial bank balance,
Some of the main financial ef-
forts were receipts from the Hol-
mesville and Varna locals play,
and the sale of business advertise-
ments in the play booklets, while
outstanding expenditures were do-
nations toward the Guelph head
office arid also some transporta-
tion expenses for convention dele-
gates,"
Bob Taylor, sub-director of the
county gave a report of a propos-
ed. Ontario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Plan which is to be voted
on by the Ontario wheat producers
in December. Mr. Taylor explain-
ed to the members that it would
function much like the Ontario
Bean Board.
Robert Welsh made a motion
that an information meeting be
set by the county OFU early in
December to hear Reginald Mey-
ers, chairman of the Ontario
Wheat producers Board, who could
explain this wheat plan. The mem-
bers felt that too few farmers
know about the coming vote con-
cerning the Wheat Board.
Much discussion arose when the
president clgar Rathwell read an
important letter from the Ontar-
io Ft)" executive concerning a res-
olution 'asking and giving reasons
for increased membership fees.
The letter stated that due to the
fact of the weakened financial
standpoint of the Ontario Farm
Union organization the Union was
losing some of its top rate exec-
utives because they personally
eouldn't finance their travel, tele-
phone and accommodation expen-
ses,
The members felt that the pro-
vincial executives certainly should-
n't be expected to pay for all their
expenses, yet the solution to this
financial problem varied among
the members, Some felt that if
the membership could be increased'
much more there would be no need
for the increased membership fees.
Other members felt that remuner-
ation is needed very soon so that
the Farm Union work ,may go
ahead still more quickly and in or-
der to keep the hard-working exe
ecutives, their expenses must be
paid. A final vote was taken in
support of the resolution by a
small majority.
