Gordon Hill, Varna, former
president of the Ontario Far

Clinton told the ;annual meet-
ing of the Huron County Far-
mers Union that he was "dis-
gusted beyond words with the
activities of the various dairy

Mr. Hill, who now serves as
secretary -treasurer of the OFU,
said, "Milk marketingis one
of the gravest problems con-
fronting us at the present time.
Milk must be looked upon as
milk at all times, by all pro-
ducers, —not as butter, skim
milk, powder, fluid milk, or
whatever the individual produ-
cers happens to be."
He went on to say that but-
ter is no longer the popular
food it once was, and that the
20,000,000 pounds in government
storage are evidence that a
new method of basing the price
of milk, other than butterfat
content used at :present, must
be found, "Here," he said, "is
