Back demand increase
for farm milk prices
Demands by the Dairy Far-
mers of Canada for an increase in
the farm-gate price of industrial
milk and cream were backed by
the Canadian Federation of
Agriculture.
The resolution got unanimous
support of farmer-delegates from
across Canada attending the
Canadian Federation of
Agriculture's annual meeting in
Saskatoon.
"Farmers shipping industrial
milk and cream need a rock-
bottom net increase of at least $2
per hundredweight," claims
Brockville dairyman Keith
Matthie. Matthie sits on the
provincial executive of the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
"It's no good having to stomp
and yell to get a price increase
every time around, When farm
costs go up, returns to farmers
should automatically follow,"
says OFA executive member

Delmer Bennett. A Foresters
Falls milk producer, Bennett
endorsed the meeting's call for
formula pricing on all industrial
milk,
"Without formula pricing, we'll
see a repeat of last summer. We
needed a $1-a-hundredweight
increase in April. Before we got
the increase it was August, and
we didn't get the full $1 then. That
costs us a lot of producers."
Matthie adds, "It was too little,
too late. The evidence is the
sharp drop in milk production
during the last year,
The Canadian Federation sent
telegrams to the appropriate
federal cabinet ministers urging
immediate action. The telegrams
also stress the need for an an-
nually updated five-year plan for
the dairy industry. This would
involve dairy organizations and
the federal government jointly
probing the future market for
dairy products. The CFA also
seeks consolidating subsidy
eligibility quota and market
sharing quota into one quota.
"'The future of industrial milk
producers hinges on getting all of
these changes, and getting them
now," notes Bennett.

Huron pork men
hold annual meet
The Huron County Pork
Producers Association held its
annual meeting in the Legion
Hall in Clinton Wednesday, In
addressing the meeting Keith
Weeden of Paisley chairman of
the marketing board, wanted
more stability in the pork in-
dustry. Production cost will
likely be higher in the coming
year, he said, high grain prices
and higher fuel, costs being some
of the reasons, He didn't think
that subsidies was the answer.
Jim McGregor, Kippen, a
director of the marketing board,
blamed the fluctuating prices on
the unexpected high runs of hogs
to the market. It seems that hog
farmers do not keep statistics up
to date with their production
plans and as a result the board as
well as packers can't plan ahead
either.
Mr. McGregor suggested that
price fluctuations be kept, at a
daily maximum of 25 cents
similar to the operation of the
futures market, He said that this
would create a greater stability.
The number of producers in the
province went down by 7,000
since a year ago, he said,

meeting, Eric Moore was elected
president, Elmer Harding, vice-
president and Lloyd Stewart was
returned as secretary-treasurer.
finitesimal way and in the long
run waste taxpayers money.
Hydro transmission lines are
still another example. Why not
run them over the poorest land
and through swamps. Sure, it's
initial costwill be higher, but the
long run cost can't be measured.
If we are to export electricity to
the US why not build the power
plants close to the border so food
producing land is least distur-
bed?
Planning reports are for 95
percent devoted to urban plan-
ning. As an afterthought a page is
used for farm planning. And this
when food prices are increasing
at a fearful rate, It sure baffles
me.

If land for growing food is used
up by non-farm uses at the rate it
is now we will have no
agricultural land left in another
40 years. This however doesn't
seem of much concern to many in
our society.
The mayor of Sarnia for in-
stance seems to find it more
important to have broader
assessmentbase for his city. He
shoots off telegrams to govern-
ments to build more 4-lane high-
ways or a Sarnia pipeline so his
city can attract more industry.
This in turn will necessitate more
residential development and so
spiral on to attract more industry
to keep the people employed.
It then follows that more high-
ways will be needed, And to
blazes with food production. If we
have to import food at a higher
cost, so what, the mayor will be
famous for having created a
super city.
Another example of short-
sightedness is the use of sewage
lagoons in or near our small
towns. Grand Bend needs 80
acres for a lagoon, later it will
turn out that a lagoon is not big
enough and a treatment plant will
be needed anyway. We see this in
Petrolia where they have dug
'holes in; our food producing •base
and now they find out that a
treatment plant is necessary.
The same is happening in
Exeter I'm told. Town fathers
