IL is always a sound practice
to introduce changes into the
feeding and management pro-
gramwhich will reduce the cost
of pork production, without in
any way affecting the perform-

• First of all, the use of hand

The halls of the parliament
budding were packed by hun-
dreds of interested spectators as
the official party, His Honour and
Mrs, MacKay, proceeded to the
throne in the Legislative Chant-
ber.
Lieutenant - Governor MacKay,
due to an eye ailment which
made reading difficult, asked the
clerk of the Legislature, Rode-
rick Lewis, Q.C., to continue
reading the Speech from the
Throne after having, himself,
read the first three paragraphs.
To your local member for
North Middlesex, there were,
among many, some outstanding
highlights in the speech from
the throne.
We are all aware of the
changes taking place in agricul-
turo today. With that thbught in
mind, there is- to be a broad
inquiry launched into farnr mar-
keting by a committee of ex-
perts, armed with the powers of
a Royal Commission, to look
into all aspects of marketing and
processing, consumer habits and
requirem cuts.
An upward, revision is planned
for a grants formula to give
more relief to municipal tax-
payers plus plans for education
from primary schools to univer-
sity.
Extracurricular driver educa-
tion is to be given in high schools,
emphasizing highway safety
measures.
Amendments are proposed to
the Succession Duty Act increas-
ing exemptions for widows and
dependent children.
Bread changes in methods of
treating, problems of mental
health, as well as changes in
dealing with members of our
society confined to reform insti-
tutions.
A most significant proposal is
to establish a department of
energy, headed by,,, a cabinet
minister, to co-ordinate and in-
tegrate a great program of fuel
and energy develooment,

Heavy Barn Losses
May Up Fire Rates
Heavy barn losses threaten to raise rates if
they continue, it was revealed at the ,83rd annual
meeting Of the Lisborne and Hibbert 'Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. in Farquhar on Monday.
In his address, President E. Clayton Colquhoun
said that net insurance in force had increased 1.1(.'
over the 1957 figure but that on account of continu-
ing heavy barn losses the surplus, although up $1,805,
was not keeping pace with the increased business.
In the last five years the average yearly num-
ber of barns lost was more than double the average
of the years 1944 to 1953 and if these losses con-
tinued at these high levels the company might be
forced to raise rates,
E. Clayton Colquhoun and Alex J. Rohde were
re-elected directors for a three-year term and Newton
G. Clarke and Allan A. MacDougald were reappoint-
ed auditors.

ton McCurdy vice-president,

Fair Auction
A suggestion that calves of
'Jensen Feeder Calf Club be sold
on a dressed weight basis rather
than by the customary auction at
the spring fair is being consid-
ered by officials of South Huron
Agricultural Society.
One advantage of the proposal
would be that members could
visit the packing plant to see
how their calves dressed out, and
learn the importance of proper
finishing.
There are several drawbacks
to the plan, however, and it will
require further consideration.
The idea was presented at the
annual meeting of the society in
the Hensall Hotel on Jan. 31.
President Earl Dick was chair-
man.
Dates suggested for the fair
were July 11 or 12. The group
decided to raffle eithe.; a calf or

been well attended anti that the ,
cattle owners in the remaining I
townships will 'turn out in large
numbers.
The important- meeting of, the
past week as far as farmers are
concerned was the hog produc-
ers annual. Since this meeting
was well covered by the report -
!era of th local weeklies. I will
only dd some. outsidestate-
ments that I have heard.
It has been stated that about
25 per cent of our hog produc-
Lion is under vertical integration,
This statement is immediately
qualified by the stating that
about 20 per cent of this is real-
ly production credit. This really
is not so .much different from
what has been going on for
years.
For a long time farmers who !
ran short of feed obtained feed
from a miller until the hogs
were ready for market. In this
case whatever profit could be
made on the hogs went to the
producer.
This leaves only 5 per cent
under the control of the large
corporation. Again, while not on
a large scale, this has been going
on for a long time. Many farm-
ers have taken in sows on a
share basis and have taken in
hogs to feed.
IL has been stated that the rea-
son for the small production of
hogs under vertical integration
is because there is little advan-
tage to the large corporation
since alt hogs must be marketed
through the hog producers' mar-
keting agency.
Does this mean that large
corporations are only interested
in farming when they have a.
great advantage in the market-
ing of that product? Farmers
would do well to consider this
