Lucan United Church Renovated,

The February Directors Meet-1 appreciate the
ing of Huron County Federation pur
of Agriculture will be held on
February 27th, at 1.30 pan. at
the Agricultural Board Room.
This is one week later than usu
al due to the date conflicting
with other activities.
The Canadian Federation of
Agriculture made its Annual pre
sentation to the Federal Cabinet
on February 15 th. Respecting
the margarine question, the Can.
Fed. endorsed the request of the
Dairy Farmers for an excise tax
on foreign oil, imported for use
in making margarine, which
they said, was in line with
Goverment policy in furnishing
protection for other industries,
not any more important than the.
dairy industry.
The Brief asked for a 62 cent
floor price for butter and a
42 cent floor price on eggs.
(This will be to the dealers and
not to the farmer). It also asked
that the support price for Wilt
shire sides be raised from $32,-
50, to provide the producer with
a more favourable floor price if
and when hog prices do decline.
An investigation into the in
crease in price of fertilizers was
requested. A heavy increase in
price has been made
trols were removed.
The brief was very
the action taken by
of Transport Commissioners in
disposing the appeal against the
raising of freight rates on live
stock without requesting the
railway companies to answer the
arguments of the Producers.
We have proof that the farm
ers of Huron County are sup
porting their own farm organiza
tion better than evei’ before.
Last year eight of the townships
in Huron Couty agreed to collect
the 2/5 mill levy for Federation
of Agriculture purposes. We
now have two more townships
added to that list and another
township giving a grant has seen

The present series of topics
being discussed by the Ontario
i Farm Forum groups deal with
I discused, “Should Agricultural
(Production be Controlled". On
February 12th the topic for dis-
; cussion was, “Do we need a
(World food Bank” and the topic
for February 19th “What has
L.F.A.P. Accomplished”.
On February 5th the Forums
problems of Nation Wide Im
portance.
From the opinions expressed
on the first topic relating to the
control of Agricultural produc
tion, onr forums did not all
agree, that controls were neces-
Isary at the present time. We
(have rising
markets and decreaed produc
tion, All these facts would cer
tainly point away from any at
tempt to control production at
the present time. It was eaiably
expressed by some of our
Forums that low support prices
like we have on eggs and butter
have a tendaney to control pro
duction. Up to the week ending
February 3rd. egg production in
Ontario declined approximately
20,000 cases from the same per
iod last year. Production of but
terfat for 1950 was down ap
proximately 18 per cent. These
figures would certainly support
the argument that a low support
price will control the production
of certain products.
Many farmers suggested that
any surplus food we have should
be sent to areas where a short
age exists and the Goverment
should subsidize the producer.
This opinion set the stage for
the next weeks topic on a world
food bank,
We all seem to agree that a
world food organization is nece
ssary, but our Goverments can
not agree on how this should
j come about. Canada has made
every effort to have such an or
ganization come into existance.
Almost every cocuntry has some
surplus products that they could
put into an international clear
ing house where it could be ex
changed for goods that was in
short supply. The big stumbling
block is the difference in value
of world currency. If we could
get our world diplomats down to
the level of old fashion horse
traders, they would be able to
solve the currency problem.
Due to the lack of success
obtained by World Goverments
dealing with the question of sur
pluses, the farm organizations
set up an international organiza
tion of their own. This is called
I.F.A.P. Twenty-six countries are
are represented in the interna
tional Federation of Agriculture
Producers. This organization has
recommended an International
Commodity Clearing House to
handle surplus food products. To
date the Goverments of member
nations have not accepted this
idea.

Special Notice
To Farmers .
■
Please try to give us a week’s notice, at least,
for slaughtering service. It is our policy not to ac
cept more work than we can handle properly and
efficiently. Kindly also bring animals to our slaughter
house as early as possible. Your co-operation in these
matters will be much appreciated.
FISH
We have in stock the best varieties of Frozen
Fillets, including Lake Huron herring, all ready
to cook.
Oysters in Half-Pint Cartons — Selects
Try Our Gaspe Salmon — It Is Delicious!
BEEF
If you ask us, we can tell you whose beef we
are selling. The grower will be a local farmer
who knows how to feed his cattle. We have the
finest beef in Canada—right here. Why not put
a quarter in your locker? We buy only top
quality.
Many thrifty people have bought a quarter
lately* They have already saved a year’s locker
rent. Lockers given up by R.C.A.F. customers
transferred are being taken up rapidly.

a fire, I’d know exactly where
it was if we had numbers on
the houses. The fire department
knows the names of all the
streets in town but we don’t
know where all the people live.
Housenumbering would simplify
matters a great deal.
MRS. JIM HOOKEY, house
wife: Yes. I like people to know
where I live as much as I want
to know where they live. We’ve
got names on the streets and we
might as well number the houses
now.
“POP” WATSON, taxi owner:
Very much in favour of it. It
will be a convenience for every
body. You don’t know how many
people come to us to find out
where somebody lives. Just be
cause we have a taxi business
they think we know where every
body lives.
EILEEN HODGINS, clerk. Yes.
It would be a lot easier to tell a
person where to go when they
want to find somebody. It would
be easier for delivering, too.
ELMORE HARNESS, barber:
We should have had that long
ago. At one time I could tell
where every person lived, but I
don’t know naw. It’s been con
fusing because everybody’s mov
ing so much. It’s the only way
to find out where a person lives.
