But the amount of produc- tion by any one man depends on his ability to snake wise de- cisions. This in turn depends on his vocational and technical training. Farm sons should be encouraged to become univer- sally trained and to take over the ownership and administra- tion of farms. A program which improves income, secur- ity and recognition will in- crease productivity. It is im- portant that the farm labor force has the benefits of good vocational and technical train- ing and the securities of other industries, such as unemploy— ment insurance, compensation, etc. "Where should we as farm people be concentrating our ef- forts and in what direction? Should we ask for programs that reduce land, capital and ef- ficiency of labor? I would hope not when half the world is starv- ing," President Charles Thom- as' report declared. "Canada has the most agricultural re- sources of any country with the least people to consume them. Since food is the greatest stra- tegic weapon for peace that man has ever created, let's en- courage our government to use it." OTHER REPORTS Robert McAllister submitted the brief for the county Hog Producers. The association had a successful sale in March with an average price of $167.00 for 35 gilts belonging to 4-H boys and girls. It sponsored both gilt and market class groups in 4-H Swine Club. In an at- tempt to increase the Grade A's in Huron the association has to date paid a $10.00 premium on 17 boars that have a $35.00 provincial premium. Several complimentary letters have been received on the associa- tion's display at the Plowing Match. According to Elmer Robert- son's brief for the Huron County Beef Improvement Association the system of grading beef car- casses should be changed. In a recent survey both steer and heifer Red brand carcasses had a variance of from 1/8 inch to .1.4 on fat covering; and heifers had a larger rib eye than steer carcasses and should really be worth more when dressed in- stead of considerably less. Some packing plants defat carcasses more than others, to their own advantage and there is no set standard of defatting. Losses on calves shipped from the west were very heavy this year and the report blamed the lack of cattle cars and the attitude of the railroads and some of their employees. It stated that railroads have made no major contribution to cattle transportation in the past 40 years, in spite of the increased cattle population. Martin Bean's report stated that the Huron County Milk Committee appreciates what federal and provincial govern- ments have done to bring about a better price for milk, but the spread between price and cost of production is steadily be- coming larger with items such as transportation going up. The committee feels milk should be priced on a cost of production basis, The brief also said many farmers are complaining about government payments being overdue and strongly recom- mended they be made more promptly in the immediate fut- IIM ,0 FOLLOW THE SHUR-GAIN PROVEN PROGRAM Appoint representatives at council's inaugural 111111111111111111111kAIMINIIIIM 16% hog grower & 14% hog finisher Research is a must to' produce better hogs.

Present were Murray Gaunt, iel.P.Pi„eiwon-Bruce; Robert McKinle N1.13 ., Huron and Marvin Howe, IvI.P., Welling- ton-Huron. Robert McKinley congratulat- ed the good work done by the commodity groups. He said, "Prosperity of the country de- pends on the prosperity of the people.” Murray Gaunt said the meet- ing provides a good source of information. The year has seen a major break-through in the farming industry with a shiftof • emphasis. "Efficient we have to be, but on the other hand ef- ficiency can't solve all our prob- lems. Income is one of the ma- jor problems of farming today." Marvin Howe said the coun- try has been made prosperous by such groups who sit down and discuss their problems. People must live with changes so every- one is aware of these. He spoke of the productivity of farms and stated, "We don't send more food to other countries because we are not too sure the foods reach the source for which they are intended." PRESIDENT'S REPORT The president's report stated there must be an understanding of the economic principles governing the product as well as those governing the produc- tion of the product. The product of agriculture is a total of all commodities. Re- duction in price has little ef- fect on consumption but the price of food does affect the type of commodities consumed. Where food is expensive people tend to eat more cereals and where food is cheap they eat more meat. When there is a surplus of food prices drop to the level, or slightly below the average cost of production. Orr ly farmers efficient enough to operate below the average pro- duction cost can make a profit. When food is not in surplus prices increase, but the food supply increases because con- sumers tend to eat beans and spaghetti instead of meat and the price is soon stabalized. The three main factors of production are land, capital and labor. Land can be de- veloped for agriculture, indus- trial or recreational uses.Farm- ers should encourage through all levels of government proper zoning and planning and the best agricultural land should be zoned for that purpose only. Without capital all land would be undeveloped. As capi- tal is poured into agriculture better methods ate continuous- ly found to improve production. When hood is plentiful and new capital is injected into the in- dustry surpluses and low farm incomes are created. When food is scarce and new capital is injected, people tend to eat [note meat and farm incomes are inclined to be lower. When the quantity of labor is reduced the efficiency of the remaining force increases, due to more efficient use of cape- ure. The Egg Producers' brief was submitted by Bob Broadfoot, who made a statement of pol- icy. The egg producers are not in favor of deficiency pay- ments, subsidy or income trans- fer at the present time. The egg producers supported the idea that was presented at the Vineland Conference on agri- culture for the purpose of stud- ies only. The egg board is studying the establishment of a single agency marketing of eggs which would require all eggs entering or produced in the province to be offered for sale through the board. The Education and Develop- ment Committee congratulated the Department of Agriculture and Food on the fine job they are doing to help farmers real- ize a better income through more efficient farm operation. Something new is now being proposed called Supplementary Income to Farmers, and the brief recommended that both governments and farm organiza- tions study the proposal care- fully before putting such a plan into effect for it may leave far- mers wide open to speculators. If speculators become inter- ested in agriculture just for the money there is in it, the price of land will be so high that far- mers will not be able to afford to keep their land, let alone expand and will find them- selves working as hired hands on farms that should be their own, The brief was presented by El- mer Hunter. Harvey Taylor, chairman, reported that Co-operators In- surance is steadily growing and the Huron County office open- ed in Clinton last March is the first county office. There are two full time and one part rime adjustors and there are now close to 8,000 policies in Hur- on, The committee asked to know why the sale of govern- ment crop insurance was given to stock companies instead of to C.I.A. agents. Simon Hallahan reported that the Whole Milk Association closed its books last June and the assets were turned over to the Huron Milk CoMmittee but the association retains its char- ter and a small fund. Alfred H. Warner presented the brief for the Ontario Hog Producers Association and had no griefs to iron out. He sug- gested that the department make a thorough study of the new grading system being talk- ed about so that the producer is not left holding the bag. Warden Kenneth Stewart brought to the attention of the government heads the import- ance of Centralia Air Force Base as some sort of industry, educational or research centre, experimental farm or testing place for farm machinery. The manure pits and swine lagoons being constructed on some of the larger farms have also been a problem and lie felt they should be built on proper speci- fications. "Beefs" from the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board presented by Robert Allen were the high freight rates and that the tariff be equalized between Canada and the U.S.A. at $8 per hundred instead of the half rate for t!. So beans entering. The following members were appointed to the recrea- tion committee: Bruce Robert- son, Harry Hastie, H. Kiel, W. Renwick, D. Nielson, R. Mc- Michael, J. Robinson, M. Al- lan, M. Newton. W. Zurbrigg, H. Strong and H. Robinson were appointed to the Pioneer Park Committee.

King is the representative to the Fire Area and NI, Allan to the Lis- towel Fire Area, Alvin Simpson is pound keep. er; Roy Strong, building inspec- tor; Jack Ferguson tile drainage inspector; Ivan Haskins, relief adm inistrator. The tender of H. Mundt for the Parrish Bridge at $00.00 was accepted and the clerk was instructed to prepare a by-law increasing the hourly rate for grader operators to 81,85.
