CHAMPION ANIMAL — The grand championship bull at the recent Dresden Fair was Golden Fame R Star owned by Clare Paton of Silver Glade Guernsey farm, near Clandeboye. Animals from the Paton herd also took six other awards, T-A photo Packers curtail purchases 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 Roger Dowker would like to introduce you to Iner Smith. 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.
