The frequent showers and poor drying days kept harv- est at a near standstill. New police headquarters for Huron County are now in full operation. Built just a few mile south of Goderich, the new off- ices serve the entire county. The OPP anti -gambling squac and the OPP detachment at Grand Bend carried out swift raids Mast Thursday night at a number of business establish- ments in Grand Bend. Thieves who "dropped in" unexpectedly at the Hess Jew- ellery store in Hensall last week apparently scared them- selves and fled empty handed. Agri -nates 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 have 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 resulting drop in prices. When facilities at the packer 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 product. So a seemingly unrelated strike in industry makes for a loss to the farmer and a higher price to the consumer. 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 imp- rovement has been made in the last few years to improve the quality of pork. The Can- adian hog has been truly re- designed. 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 poll- ution. "We have the middle- man 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 mak- er. Labour makes up nearly half, 48'Jo of the marketing charges on food. Hourly labor costs of the food marketing firms increased 700 since 1962. Part of that increase was reduced by increas. ed output per man hour, reduc- LIVESTOCK SHIPPING TO TORONTO UNION STOCK YARDS Dunn and Levack Every Monday A(1 Loads Fully Insured CONTACT Campbell McKinley RR 1, ZURICH Phan. 262-5430 ing the additional Iabcr cost per unit of product marketed to 47%. But that increase was not achieved by working faster cc harder, it was achieved by large expenditures for new plants and facilities to a total 09 more than three billion in 1973 alone.
