percentage of the base price.
It' is set for a, period of one
year in advance so that farmers
will know what price they are
to receiye for each supported
commodity before it is produced.
The ,guaranteed price may be
any percentage of the base price
from 80 per cent upward to 100
per cent or more. The guaranteed
price will be set after taking
into account the cost of produc-
tion and all. other factors in -

Then there is the "support
price". The support price is an
emergency price, It is for the
purpose of protecting fanners
against a drastic drop in price.
It is alv)ays set at 80 per cent
of the base price and serves the
sante purpose as insurance.
This farm prices stabilization
act is the first step in the gov-
ernment's program to help the
farmers to help themselves to a
position of economic parity. The
government is detflonstrating its
willingness to do its part: The
farmers should increase their ef-
forts to organize themselves ef-
fectively and thereby indicate
their willingness to accept a
faire ?share of responsibility for
theittown welfare.
As this is the last report that

of the Season. May you have a'
very merry Christmas and a

For Voting On Hog Plan
Simplification of the, rules that
will govern a vote of Ontario
hog producers next year is be-
ing considered by the Ontario
Government, said Hon, T, Ray
Connell, provincial Cabinet mem-
ber, when he spoke last week at
the annual meeting of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture in
Londesboro.
Mr. Connell, member for North
Wentworth, and minister with-
out portfolio in the Frost Gov-
ernment, said that Cabinet mem-
bers had been. impressed by ,ob-
jections that the Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture has lodged
against a two-part requirement
that the present hog -marketing
scheme, if it is to be sustained
by the vote of hog producers
scheduled for some time in 1958,
must be approved not only by
60 per cent of those who vote„
but by 51 per cent of -all those
entitled to vete.
Perth Federation of Agricul-
ture, at its annual meeting a
week ago, objectedto the 51 -
per -cent requirement; Huron
Federation, at Londesboro, last
week, also passed a resolution
asking that the requirement be
.simplified, so that the plan will
be approved if 60 per cent of
those who vote are in favor,
Cabinet Impressed
"Your Federation impressed
the cabinet," said Mr. Connell,
"that there is possibly need for
a change, Since it can be
changed by regulation, possibly
there will be a change."
'Mr. Connell noted that he
could not speak with the author-
ity of the Minister of. Agricul-
lure, Hon; W. A.. Goodfellow,
for whom he was pinch-hitting.
Mr. Goodfellow, who had been
expected to be the principal
speaker," was unable to come
because of the combined efforts
of influenza and laryngitis; Mr.
Connell was his last-minute re-
placement.
"Not just the Conservatives,
but pretty well all parties,"
said Mr, Connell, "are agreed
that we should try to provide
the farmers with farm market-
ing legislation that they can use.
We try to give you the tools,
with which you can do the job
We feel, however, that,
whatever the vote is, on any
scheme, unless ,by and large it
has the great majority of peo-
ple behind it, it is 'not going to
work,"
The Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Act, Mr. Connell ob-
served, is modeled on similar
legislation in Great Britain,
which in turn was adapted from
legislation f i r s t devised in
Queensland, Australia. The es-
sential feature of the legislation
in all three countries, he said,
is that, "when the majority of
the producers .of a given com-
modity wish to sell their prod-
uct ,collectively, the minority
may be compelled to conform."
Defines Issue
The issue in. the hog -market-
ing vote was defined by. James
Jaeklin, Ontario fieldma.n for
the Federation of Agriculture.
The vote is nota vote for or
against the directional program
for hog selling; he said, and is
not a vote for or against the
hog assembly points now in opp
eration. The only issue at stale,
he said, is whether farmers are
in favor of doing .their hog mar-
keting collectively, themselves,
through their own sales agency.
