August 20 gave the following
details.
"Under the new pooling system
inaugurated last year, producers
received a basic initial payment
Of $1.51 per bushel for grade No. 2
or better, 14 percent moisture
wheat. In December 1973, the
board made an interim payment
of 50c per bushel, and that
brought the basic payment to
producers up to $2.01 per bushel.
This additional interim
payment of $1.00 per bushel
makes the sub-total to producers
$3.01 per bushel, with a final
payment yet to be made.
The board emphasizes that it
will take approximately one
month to prepare and mail the
cheques which will apply to about
12,000,000 bushels of 1973 crop
wheat sold by Ontario producers.
The board also emphasizes the
fact that the $1.00 intermim
payment is not a final payment,
and that the final board payment
cannot be made until after all
sales of carryover stocks are
complete at the end of Sep-
tember. Carryover stocks were
not sold until July for export by
the end of September.
The board also wishes to point
out that the payment does not
include any federal consumer
subsidy funds which are still to be
paid."
Further to the statement
concerning the federal govern-
ment payment, Mr. Young said
the board has been unable to
obtain any indication as to when
the federal payment will be
made, but that a meeting with
officials in Ottawa will be sought
in the near future concerning the
matter.
Strike affects sow price
By ADRIAN VOS
Union Carbide went on strike
and it costs the farmer money.
That may sound strange at first
glance. If the grain handlers
strike or the meat packers it is
obvious that this will h ave a
depressing effect on those
commodities.
Well, Union Carbide makes
most of the casings for sausage
and when they went on strike the
packers curtailed their pur-
chases of sows with a resultant
drop in prices. When facilities at
the packers are sitting idle it
costs him money, so he passes
this loss to the consumer in the
form of a small increase on all his
products. So a seemingly
unrelated strike in industry
makes for a loss to the farmer
and a higher price to the con-
sumer.
I saw a picture recently of a
loin of hog of eight years ago and
one of this year. The difference is
truly amazing. While the old loin
was almost half fat, the new one
had only a very small rim of this.
It shows clearly what great
improvement has been made in
the last few years to improve the
quality of pork. The Canadian
hog has been truly redesigned.
Here is a quote from the
"National Hog Farmer" an
American magazine: Many of
those who are making the most
noise about the middleman and
about food prices could well
paraphrase that oft quoted
comment of Pogo's about
pollution: We have the mid-
dleman and he is us,"
That ghostly middleman is the
packinghouse worker. He's the
retail store employee. He's the
truckdriver, the waitress, the
baker, the frozen pie maker.
Labour makes up nearly half, 48
percent of the marketing charges
on food. Hourly labor costs of the
food marketing firms increased
70 percent since 1962.
Part of that increase was
reduced by increased output per
manhour, reducing the additional
labor cost per unit of product'
marketed to 47 percent. But that
increase was not achieved by
working faster or harder, it was
achieved by large expenditures
for new plants and facilities to a
total of more than 3 billion in 1975
alone. Corporate profits before
taxes rose no more than 4 per-
cent. Urges minister to help
farmers with labour
TRACTORS
Denise Van Breda, Director of
District 6, Region 3 of the
National Farmers Union has
urged Eugene Whelan, Minister
of Agriculture to take immediate
steps to help farmers faced with
labour problems for harvesting
their labour intensive crops.
In a letter to Mr. Whelan, Mrs.
Van Breda stated, past ex-
perience has proven that
qualified people have quit har-
vest jobs after earning 3250.00 for
income tax reasons. She asked
Mr Whelan to take immediate
steps to allow qualified people to

earn $1,000.00 free of any
exemption in a period of 25 to 30
days, this in an effort to help
farmers harvest their crops and
also keep the price of com-
modities down.
Mrs. Van Breda further stated
that unemployment is at its
lowest level in years, also
transient labour is not moving in
this area as fast as in previous
years, and farmers would be
faced with the worst problem .
ever in finding suitable help in
harvesting their labour intensive
crops.

Suspend plan
for generator
The subcommittee charged
with making recommendations to
the Huron Power Plant Com-
mittee reports that they are
pleased by Ontario Hydro's
announcement to suspend plans
to build a nuclear generating
plant in Huron county.
However, in the light that it is
only a suspension, it recommends
further that all 18 participating
organizations continue finding
facts about the effects a power
plant of any type will have on
Huron county. The sub-
committee feels that if and when
the suspension is lifted, all
pertinent facts should he readily
available.
