Board. The report speaks of
the Free Enterprise candidates
—and the Federation candi-
dates; also of Free Enterprise
lists and Federation lists of
candidates,
I would like to point out that
the Federatlion did not nomin-
ate any candidates or make any
Federation lists. The candidates
referred to were those elected
at the County Hog Producers
ASsociation at their recent
County Annual and the lists
were identical to this with the
exception of two names which
Were changed because of ill
health on the part of the del-
egates concerned, These chan-
ges were made on the reeem-
niendation of the Hog Producer
Association lin the county,
Further I am informed. that
two or three of these men, are
Farm Union Members and are
not supporters of the Federa-
tion. True; at the request of
the Hog Producers Association
copies of the list' of delegates,
with no comment, were print-
ed by the Federation. After all
they are an affiliated Organ-
ization,
Had the same request been
Made to the Federation by the
Free Enterprise group I feel
that as a paid employee of
the Federation I .vould have
been obliged to do the same
for them.
While the Free Enterprise
group is not affiliated with the
Federation, I feel quite sure
that a large number of them
(though some, I know do not,)
Pay membership to their town-
ship Federation and therefore
do have a claim for some ser-
vice from the County.
' Just because the Federation
has accepted a responsibility of
distributing information to far-
mers on Commodity groups it
is no reason for saying that
the Federation is controlling or
supporting any of these organ-
izations. •
If I were to divide the farm-
ers lin the County into groups
I would say that over 90 per-
cent pay their fees to the Fed-
eration and the remainder are
divided' more or less evenly be-
tween the Farmers Union and
Free Loaders.
Thus, if you, in the Com.
modity groups were to divide
the percentages will also be
much the same. It is true that
there is very likely to be a
large majority of Federation
members in any County Coms
motility -groupsbut it is not true
to;say the. F,ederatien runs the
Commodity;. group since . we do
have .• representatives. of the
Farmers .Union in., the Board
of Directors of the Hog Pro-
ducers,. Association and will
have in the Wheat Producers
ASSocietien. However, I do hope
we can. keep clear of the Free
loaders.

Of This News000.0
Anyone who says the county
elections of hog producer com-
mitteemen last Monday has set-
tled controversy in the hog
marketing picture is merely
practising wishful thanking. The
area of controversy may have
shifted a little but we expect
to see plenty of it ahead.
The election last week went
far beyond the original inten-
tion of merely electing commit-
teemen. In many counties bat-
tle lines were drawn between
those who support and those
who oppose compulsory market-
ing. The committee members
are committed to further action
on the basis of that issue alone
and will proceed to elect dis-
trict directors on the same ba-
sis. The new board of eleven
will have battle lines drawn
before they ever meet. Under

those circumstances it is dif-
ficult to forsee much action to-
ward getting on with the job.
It is quite within the realm of
possibility that the two factions
may be about evenly divided
on the matter. District meet-
ings and the election of the
district directors will tell the
final story this week. At least,
three districts in Western On-
tario, possibly four, will elect
directors pledged to remove
compulsion. Further east two
more districts are reported to
be in the same camp. We'd
suggest there may not be any
rush about completing those
teletype installations. They may
not be needed after the new
Ontario Hag Producers' Mark-
eting Board' convenes. As a
matter of fact maybe the new
board will do what the farm
products marketing board' th-
reatened to do earlier, namely
remove the compulsory features
from the program.
We hope we are wrong. But
from here we see little •hope of
smooth sailing ahead for the
Ontario Hog Producers' mark-
eting scheme. A few counties
turned out fair numbers of
voters last Monday. Others re-
vealed the apathy that unfor-
tunately comes to •light t o o
frequently when we farmers'are
called upon to decide an issue.

Planning to renovate your
stable -M. the 'near future?
Research and farmer exper-
ience indicate that you'll. get
less leg and udder injury ..and
overall better herd health if
you build long, wide cow stalls,
"Extra length for stalls isn't
a big problem unless you have
a very narrow barn," says Bob
Milne, extension engineer with
the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture. "It's usually best to
reduce alley Widths to a minis
mum in order to provide extra
comfort for the animals."
He feels extra width for
stalls is no problem" except
that it means 1. or 2 fewer
stalls in the length of the st,
able." He believes the cows are
likely to make up for the loss
in number of stalls by produc-
ing more milk in more com-
fortable stalls.
"In the average-size herd this
difference in production will
likely mean that fewer cows
in larger stalls will produce as
much, or more than cows in
smaller stalls."
A caw stall should be long
enough• so that the cow's udder
is well .up on the platform
when she lies down — not "dr-
'aped over the edge of the gut-
ter" as is sometimes the case.
Dirty stalls won't be a prob-
lem in long stalls if you use
a cow trainer. "A trainer will
force the cows to step back
when using' the gutter and keep
the stand clean. Long stalls
will also reduce the tendency
for some cows to 'always stand
in the gutter."
Milne suggests keeping the
width of the stalls roughly in
proportion to the length, but
for Holstein cows, "stalls should
be 4 feet wide or more." If
you use cow trainers keep these
stall sizes in mind:
Colborne Sells
Telephone System
To Bell Company
Subscribers of the Colborne
Municipal Telephone system
have voted in favour of selling
their 50-year-old system to the
Bell Telephone Company of
Canada for $8,500.
Take-over date will be some-
time in the fall of 1962.
Subscribers, meeting in Car-
low town hall Thursday night,
March 9, turned down by a vote
of 111 to 56 a proposal to
amalgamate their system with
Blyth Telephone system.
Instead, on a separate ballot,
they voted 125 to 42 in favour
of selling to the Bell. Colborne
telephone system chairman For-
dyce Clark was against the
sale.
