Your Federation of Agricul.
tUre pipeibles committee has
been working with the minister
of mines under whose jurisdic- .
lion pipelines , are listed, The
committee has been assured that
the pipelines act will be studied
and revised at this session.
The committee has requested
that farmers be notified at this
S053100.
In the past pipeline represen-
tatives have suddenly arrived at
the farmers door with an ease-
ment form, lf the farmer didn't
agree at once he was accused of
obstructing progress. In many
cases the farmer w,as badgered
into signing very unsatisfactory
settlements.
In the case of damages, the
committee requests that the com-
pany must accept all responsibi-
lity for any and all damages.
This seems only reasonable since
farmers could hardly be expected
to subsidize industrial develop-
ment.
Pending this revision of legis-.
latioe farmers are urged .not to
sign any type of agreeirient ori
this question. Further yOur Fed-
eration of Agriculture has not
approved a specific contract
form. Every situation is different

Secondly, Co -Operative Medi-
cal Services have sought the co-

tion of Agriculture and it now
seems likely that co-operative
medical services will be given

Sales of Hensall District' Co-op
in 1957 passed the half minion
mark, highest in its history, it
was reported at the twentieth
annual meeting in Zurich Tues-
day night,
The co-op, largest and one of
the eildest in the district, re-
ported $519,173 in sales, com-
pared to $474,583 in 1956.
Savings, however, dropped
from $27,800 to $22,400 for the
year, reflecting keener competi-
tion in the farm supply field. •
Desciibing the year as a "very
successful" one, directors rec.
ommended a four percent' divi-
dend on patronage, which was
endorsed by the members.
Over 350 farmer -members and
their wives attended the annual
banquet in Hay Community
Centre to hear the reports and
enjoy a program of entertain-
ment, an address and dance.
:President Robert McGregor was
Chairman.
Manager Garnet Mousseau,
Hensel', presented the financial President McGregor and Donald
statement, which shows total
assets of the co-op at $217,986.
Donald Hendrick, Dashwood,
presented, the directors' report.
Electrical power has been in-
stalled in the Brucefield mill
during the past year and a new
semi4railer truck is now in
operation to improve efficiency
of hauling feeds, fertilizer and
other commodities. A fertilizer
bagger is being installed at the
Hensall plant.
The directors recommended a
drive to cut accounts receivable,
which total $73,500, by half to
use the funds to start a revolv-
ing fund to pay off patronage
loans starting with those in 1946.
Construction of more storage
space at Brucefield was also
recommended.
Russell Grainger, Zurich, was

board and two new directors,

Guest speaker, Dr. J. Semple,
Egmondville, in a forceful ad-
dress, called for a new under-
standing .and a new approach to
world problems in the light of
'the "revolution" which is taking
place.
"We must develop a new spirit,
new service, an urgency of good
,will and friendship,". he said,
"to prevent total destruction,"
The minister made a strong plea
for development of understand-
ing among nations, races, and
religions.
Canadians must study "larger
maps", he said, "Unless we do
it, we are doomed."
Illustrating the various nation-
al desires of foreign countries,
Dr. Semple outlined conditions
in Germany, Russia, Africa,
Japan, China and other c.untries

A modest increese in Market-
ing fees charged by the Ontario
Hog Producers Co-operative WAS
approved at the annual meeting
of the board in Toronto this
week.
Producer-delega'oss from across
the province ratified a resolu-
tion which provided:
1. Increase in the service
charge for handling hogs from
24 to 25 cents;
2. Elimination of Ur pro -rat-
ing charge of 20 cents per settle.

3. An added charge (a maxi-
mum of 15 cents was suggested)

sembly yards. Amount of this
charge was left in the hands of
the board of directors.
This means producers will pro-
bably pay 40 cents per hog to
operate the compulsory market.
ing inaugurated last year. The
exact amount will depend on the
yardage fee set by the board.
On the average the ngw rates'
will be about 10 cents per hog
higher than the present charges.
The pro -rating charge has
worked out to five tents a hog
which, added to the present ser-
vice charge of 24 cents a hog,
brings the average fee now be-
ing paid by producers to 29
cents.
Jim Boynton, secretary of the
Ontario co-op, told The rimes.
Advocate Wednesday morning
that the new yardage fee may
range anywhere from 10 to 15
cents but he expected the board
would set it at the latter figure.
The new charge is .necessary,
he said, to coven the cost of ope-
rating the assembly points which
has been the main factor in the
co-operative's loss of $33,000 in
1957. Mr. Boynton said the ma-
jority of yards were costing an
average of nine cents a hog but
a few where expenses are higher
.will increase this amount. In ad-
dition. the° delegates urged the
establishment of more assem-
ble yards in the province, which
will create added expense.
Immediate reaction from hog
producers was not available at
press time but it is understood
delegates were almost nuanimous
'in approving the new rate. One
Huron county delegate told The
Times Advocate: "We •who be-
lieve in this open market pro-
gram are not corcerned about
an additional 10 cents per hog
because we fell that the profit
from the higher prices we are
receiving through competitive
bidding arg considerably greater
than the 'fee charged by the
boain."
(This past week, the Ontario
price averaged $30.00 to $31.00
while the Winnipeg price was
$28.00).
However, the Huron delegate
anticipated the increase would
stir un more violent opoosition
from those who are fighting the
plan.
Mr. Boynton said the new fee
will certainly not mean the $1.00
to $1.50 -increase per hog which
has been forecast by opponents
fel. seine time.
Besides approving the increase
in fee and requesting more as-
sembly yards, the hog produ.
