I1ethods of Deficiency Payments
(By Jr. Carl Hemingway)
I didn't think another article on
deficiency payments would be
necessary but from. the questions
I am being asked apparently there
are a large number of people who
do not understand how it will op-
erate.
First there is a basis of support
price under deficiency payments.
This is the weighted average of
the present support prices. across
Canada, and is calculated to be
$22,64 per cwt. From here we
have to suppose prices on the
market to explain the operation of
this plan.
It is being forecast that the
price for hogs after January 11,
on the market will be $18.00 per
cwt. It is also being forecast that
the price will be $25,00 next fail,
(please do not let these • figures
influence your operations).
Deficiency payments will be
based on the average price for the
whole year. If the $18.00 price
lasts for most of the year the av-
erage might be $19.64. In this
case a deficiency payment of $3.00
would be paid on all hogs . (grade
A and B1) . Thus if you sold your
hogs at $18.00 you would end up
with $21.00 per cwt. and if you
sold for $25.00 you would end up
with $28.00
If the $18,00 price lasts for a
short time and the $25.00 price
lasts for most of the year the av-
erage price could easily be $22.64
or higher in which case there will
be no deficiency payment.
I would also like to make it
clear to everyone that support by
offer to purchase has been very
satisfactory for butter. Over the
past 12 years there was surplus
production six years and insuffic-
ient production for six years.
While over the whole period the
government ,has spent some money
in support. There have been years
when the government reaped a
nice profit on storing butter. The
cream producer has received a
satisfactory return and the con-
sumer has had a steady supply at
a very reasonable comparative
price. The total cost to govern-
ment has been negligible.
The key to the success of sup-
port by purchase is the level at
which the price is set and the
amount of promotion that accom-
panies the announcement. This
was quite apparent at the time
hogs were set at $25.00 and milk
powder at 17 cents.
The government has stated that
they must support the family far-
mer but they apparently have no
concern for the small family pack-
er who has contributed a good
deal to keeping the market price
high to the small farmer.
Yes, the government professes
to support the small farmer, but
they do it in such a way that most

In The Public Interest
They Speak for Themselves
Serious Mistake to Retain CTA
(Elmer Bell, Q.C., of Exeter — Reported in Exeter Times -Advocate, November 19, 1959)
"The people of Huron County will make a serious mistake if they
do not get rid of the CTA on November 30," Mr. Bell stated. "In my
opinion it is the worst piece of legislation ever devised in Canada. We
cannot afford to have this act any longer on the statute books,"
The Exeter lawyer emphasized that the only outlet which can be
established without a vote in some municipalities is the gov't retail store
and it would not be opened unless the municipal council concerned pas-
sed a resolution requesting it. The other public liquor outlets would have
to be voted in by the people.
Respect for Law
(Don Southcott, Editor, Exeter Times -Advocate, November 19, 1959)
"This is an important point. Under CTA there is little or no respect
for law and law enforcement officials, particularly among the young, im--
pressionable age group. This it not the case in LCA areas.
"I speak from experience for I, too, have lived under both laws. I'
spent three of my late teen -years under LCA and 1 can tell you there
was no laughing at, thumbing noses at, or ridicule of, police and the
liquor laws among the young people with whom I was associated then.
"You may minir?ize this point but I suggest to you that any low
which creates disrespect for our system of justice does our democracy o;
great harm."
Deny Amendments Promise
To Canada Temperance Act
(London Free Press, November 21, 1959)
"Two Federal Cabinet Ministers said yesterday they have made no,
undertaking that amendments are forthcoming to the Canada Temperance
Act which would make it more effective for the control of liquor."
Double Standards
(Quoted from an Editorial in The Huron Expositor, November 19, 1959)'
"What is more important than a discussion of the readiness with
which liquor may be obtained are the double standards that are being
created in the minds of an entire generation, and the resulting disrespect
for law and authority which arises,"
Alcoholism in Huron County
(Alcoholism Research Foundation, November 19, 1959)
"There are definitely no statistics on alcoholism by county in Ontario."'
Effective Control in Peel
(Peel County Abandoned the CTA by Vote in 1951)
Toronto Township Police Chief Garnet McGill, in a Statement Dated November 17,, 1959
"All Police Departments in the County of Peed are more satisfied:
under the Liquor Control Act, as all phases for effective control are in-
cluded in the Liquor Control Act."

Conditions in Grand Bend
(By incorporating as o village and joining Lombton County, Grand Bend came unclear
the Liquor Control Act)
J. H. Dalton, Reeve of Grand Bend, October 16, 1959
"When the CTA inits present form was in force here our big prob-
lerris arose from the fact that the CTA did not prohibit the consumption
of alcoholic beverages on the streets, in public places or in automobiles.
Also, because there was no provision in the Act to convict on a charge
of drunkenness, drunkenness became very prevalent on the streets and
became uncontrollable under existing legislation (the CTA). A girl, or a
group of girls, could not walk on any of our streets, particularly at night,
without being subjected to insult, profanity and even attack.
"Since the Liquor Control Act has been in force here it has pro-
vided the means of combatting the above problems.'e
