Blake Sanford, Co-Ordinator,
Ontario. Region, National
Farmers Union, following a
meeting this week end with NFU
Dairy Committeemen, said that
there is immense disappointment
by dairy producers within the
organization, of the recent price
increase to milk producers
announced during the recent
Ontario Milk Marketing Board
meeting.
In addition to the 2Q cent per
cwt. increase for fluid milk, the
OMMB also indicated it was
seeking a 40 cent per cwt.
increase in the base price for
industrial milk, of which 35
cents would go directly to the
producers while the remainder
would be offered to the
processors.
Mr. Sanford said the Board is
apparently prepared to accept

this increase for the remainder
of this dairy year, plus the new
dairy year which commences
April 1st, 1971.
Chairman of the NFU Dairy
Committee, William Langdon
denounced the proposed price
increases as entirely
unsatisfactory to the majority of
industrial milk producers.
"The policy objective of the
NFU is to obtain a minimum of
$1.00 increase in the base price
of industrial milk," he said.
Mr. Langdon said the
announcement by the Board
revealed that the price paid to
fluid milk producers would
increase from $6.65 per cwt. to
$6.85 effective February 1st of
this year. An additional increase
of 15 cents or more would
take effect on September 1,
1971, raising the price of that
portion of the milk used for
fluid purposes to at least $7.00
per cwt.
The NFU official said it
would appear that the increase
in price to fluid producers being
brought about in two stages
gives the distributors the
opportunity of increasing the
price to consumers twice and
putting the blame on the farmers
both times. It was further felt
that the fluid producer should
have received a price increase
equivalent to 1 cent per quart at
this time (38 qt. in a cwt. of
milk.)
Mr. Langdon indicated the
Union agreed with a price
increase for these producers, but
felt that the price increase
should have been brought about
in one stage.
If the price had been raised to
$7.03 per cwt. on Feb. 1st, it
would have also assisted in
bringing further pressures to
bear which are abviously
necessary in order to raise the
price paid to industrial shippers
to a satisfactory level.
Over 90 Western Ontario
farmers have just completed a
two day refresher course in Sow
Herd Management. The course
was sponsored by the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food and held at The Centralia
College of Agricultural
Technology.
Farmers attending the course
came mainly from the counties
of Huron, Perth and Middlesex,
but Bruce, Oxford, Lambton,
Kent and Elgin were also
represented.
Breeding and health
management of the sow herd
were the topics studied in
greatest detail.
Garnet Norrish, O.D.A.F.
Swine Specialist discussed the
development of the pure breeds
of swine, and noted the rising
popularity of two American
breeds, Hampshire and Duroc.

of breeds in crossbreeding
systems evaluated the merits of

Bowman advised sow herd
owners to develop a systematic
crossbreeding program using
crossbred sows to produce
crossbred slaughter pigs.
He indicated that a Yorkshire
sow should be the mother of the
crossbred sow and the sire be
either Lacombe or Landrace.
The crossbred sow should then
be mated to either a Duroc or
Hampshire boar to produce a
3-way crossbred slaughter pig.
This system takes full
advantage of the exceptional
mothering capabilities of
Yorkshire sows and the heavy
muscling of the Duroc and
Hampshire breeds.
Health management, of the
breeding herd was discussed by
veterinarians Dr. Peter Oliver,
Swine Health Specialist, Guelph,
Dr. Tom Pridham and Dr.
Gaylen Josephson, both of the
Veterinary Services Branch
Huron Park Diagnostic
Laboratory.
Farmers were brought up to
date on the latest techniques in-
sanitation and disease control
and were instructed in the
symptoms and control measures
of specific diseases which attack
the sow and her litter.
Dr. Gordon King,

Little gain
for combines
The Zurich Combines failed
to gain ground in the Western
Ontario Athletic Association
Intermediate "C" grouping as
they lost 6-4 to Arthur at the
Zurich arena, Tuesday night.
The win moved Arthur safely
into second place with 21
points, three more than the
Zurich club. The Milverton Four
Wheel Drives lead with 24
points.
Earlier in the week, the
Combines trounced Elora and
the same Arthur club by
identical 12-4 scores.
Fred Lamb scored two goals
while singles were notched by
Bill Chipchase and Glen
Overholt in the 6-4 loss to
Arthur. The Zurich club only
dressed seven players for the
game.
Lamb also was the top scorer
in the win over Arthur as he
scored five times. Bob Buchanan
was close behind with a hat trick
performance while Glenn
Overholt bagged a pair and
singles went to Bill Bourne and
Chuck Humbey.
Dennis Morrissey, Chuck
Humbey, Bob Buchanan, Glenn
Overholt and Bob Merner each
scored two goals to pace the
Zurich attack against Elora.
Completing the total with one
goal apiece were Paul Young and
Fred Lamb.
Winners in the Combine
lucky draw were Michael
Frayne, Stratford; Truman
Fisher, Zurich; Ross Hayter,
Th e d f ord, Jim Hoffman,
Dashwood; Stuart Sweitzer,
Grand Bend and Mrs. Bob
Galloway, Crediton.
Many farmers took the
opportunity to get advice on the
rations they were feeding to
their pigs and to re-design them,
if necessary, to take advantage
of the latest information
available in swine nutrition.
Financial management of the
sow herd enterprise was
discussed by Jack Hogarty,
Stratford, Dick Heard, London,
Area Farm Management
Specialists and Don Pullen,
Agricultural Representative for
Huron County.
A pork banquet was held at

Ad on tax reduction
doesn't tell the truth
The Ontario Government's
advertisement on the Farm Tax
Reduction Program tells part of
the story, Gordon Hill, President
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture said recently, but it
doesn't tell the whole truth.
Advertisements describing the
government's property tax
rebate to farmers began
appearing on. December 28,
1970. According to a spokesman
in the Municipal Subsidies
Branch, the advertisement
appeared in nearly 300
newspapers across Ontario — 47
dailies and about 250 weeklies.
The advertisement claimed
that the farm tax rebate was the
most recent phase in the
government of Ontario's
long-term plan to reform the
system of local taxation in this
province.
Said OFA President Hill,
"This leaves the impression — no
doubt intentionally — that the
rebate is the spontaneous gift of
a kind and generous government.
Which is complete nonsense of
course.
"Farmers had to fight for this
rebate — a rebate financed, I
should point out, by previous
over-taxation. And they had to
resort to unusual methods —
withholding taxes. The

tells of improvement
government accepts the fact now
that farmers carry an unfairly
heavy tax burden, but it's quite
clear that if farmers hadn't
agitated for tax reform they
wouldn't have received the
smallest consideration from the
government.
"Although supposedly to
inform farmers of the rebate
program," continued Mr. Hill,
this advertisement ran in
predominantly urban
newspapers — the three Toronto
dailies for example. This was an
obvious political maneouvre,
designed to draw attention to
the government's 'generous
works'."
