CARL HEMINGWAY Huron FA Fieidman News Item, January 10, 1959 On. Tuesday, January 6, the Huron County Federation Politi- cal Action Committee along with representatives of the county commodity groups met with Marvin Howe, MP, and Charles McNaughton, MPP, at a dinner in the Hotel Clinton. We are sorry that Elston Cardiff, MP, was unable to attend clue to a fall and that John Hannah, MPP, was not available. The president of the federa- tion, Winston Shapton, presided and presented the federation brief, based mainly on resolu- tions passed at the OFA annual. Of particular interest to the county was the recommendation that' there be standard time Mickle's Weekly Markets Beans w...... $6.50 per cwt. (plus trucking) Wheat S1.40 Oats .57 bu.

Also uniform marking of foxes for receiving bounty and a uniform bounty. The federation also added facts to support former recommenda- tions of the OFA that farmers be compensated for livestock lost through rabies, It was recommended that the federal government study and rectify the inequalities of freight rates in the movement of Ontario grain as compared to Western grain. The Dairy Co-Ordinating Board brief was submitted by Lorne Rodges with Simon Hallaban commenting on butter and George Watt on cheese. The dis- posal of skim milk powder seemed to he the biggest dairy problem and it was felt that the federal government. through co- operation with UNICEF and CARE, could do much to correct this difficulty. With the need for larger quantities of cheese the surplus difficulty in powder would be considerably reduced. In the case of butter it was felt that since .the 58 cent floor on butter fat proved too low to create enough production to meet the demand it was recommended that the support price remain at 64 cents.. However, since this floor price apparently raised the retail price to the point where the consumption was reduced it was recommended that Canada copy the system of Britain and many European countries — a consumer subsidy to reduce the retail price of this good food. It was suggested that this consum- er subsidy be 5 cents per lb. The recommendations of the hog producers, presented by Ross Love, vice-president, in absence of President Bert Lobb, who was unable to attend due to a recent fall, was short and to the point. A vote was held last July Which required that 66 2/3 per cent of those voting must favour the plan.

Russell Bolton, zone director of the wheat producers, reported that the wheat producers are doing a good job of disposing of their wheat, However, he pointed out that soft winter wheat can be shipped from Alberta to Peter- boro for less freight than wheat from Chatham to Peterboro. This seems to be discrimination against the Ontario 'grower and the Canadian Government is re- quested to make these rates more equitable. This also applies tv shipments of United States wheat. While we do not favor trade re- strictions it does seem unfair that Ontario wheat growers should have to compete against freight rates in the U.S. Robert McGregor, president of the county beef producers, felt that the price of beef is high enough. Higher prices could re- duce consumption and this would be difficult to regain. Mr. Mc- Gregor expressed regret that the promotion plan for beef which was approved at the last annual meeting and apparently approved by the Farm Products 1lfarketing Board, has not yet become effec- tive. It was recommended that the Ontario government endeav- our to clear up the obstructing technicalities with all possible speed. Carl Hemingway reported on the poultry Industry in the ab- sence of Bob McKinley, chair- man of the county poultry com- mittee. The very low price of fowl and the wide fluctuations in egg prices indicate the need for a strong poultry organization. It is also reporter that the market price for capons is 26 cents but no buyers. This is an unreason- able situation. Either the price is too high or the trade is failing to put the product before the consumer. Capons make excel- lent eating and the consumer will buy if given the opportunity at the right price. The Ontario poultry executive has finally received approval from the Farm Products Mar- keting Board for the method by which an active poultry promo- tion plan can be put into opera- tion. Meetings for poultry pro- ducers will be held throughout the counties at which informa- tion will be given out, a vote taken and results recorded. 11 there is a good attendance and a large majority' favour the plait it will be put into effect. 11 the attendance is -small arid not; favourably accepted we can fore get it all and let egg produuction, fall into the sante position as the broiler industry.
