Spc.tker. C. WV. Me- Innis faihed to show up. and most of tne imeeing was coz:ducted by R. H-. Grahanm, Associate Live- stock Conîmissioner for Ontario and Agicultural Representative Ed. Summers, Bowmanviie. Huddled for warmth anound the big heat register at the Town- .sbip Hall, the swine producers aired thein gievancea against the existing hog policies and received fair and intelligent enswera on the subject from Mn. Graham. Versatile Ed Summers guided the meeting wîtb efficient direct- ion thnough the vanlous aspects of business discussed. Elections wene beld for the positions on the Associations staff, and begin- nings wene mede towerds the or- ganization of a County Creemn Producer's Association. President Gives Address Secretary-Treasurer Ed Sum mers lnitiated the proceedinga b reading the minutes and giviný the financial statement. Thý statement indicateci a very sue cesaful years during 1949. Presi dent Leonard McNeil gave. short talk on the difficulties fac ed by hog producers, includinl the high coat of grain, and th( comparatively low prices beini received for the prdduce. H( mentioned that hogs are realizini only from $3.00 to $5.00 profil per animal, and that this la noi enough considering the amount oi work put in. He also mentioned the fact that boars have been pur. chased by the Association and stationed at convenient poiftt through the townships for thE use of breeders. At this point in the meeting, Mr. Graham took over, present- ing to those in- attendance a sheaf of mimeographed sheets compris- i.ng the figures sent in to the De- partment of Agriculture's bureau of statistica 'by 55 representative hog producers over the Province of Ontario. He began his tal.k by disagreeing with President Len McNeil on the point that the price of feeci grain should be broughl dowxi. If grain pnices were tc fail, wheat farmers in the West wouid stop producing, and in or- der to find a means of realizing a return for their labor, would raise hogs themselves to consume the grain. This would deal a serious blow to Ontario, which has long been known for its hog raising. Grain Prices Must Remamn Wbenever grain prices have fallen in the West, claimed Mr. Graham, a depression has occurr- ed throughout Canada. Sucb was the condition during the depresa- Ion of the thirties. There is no de- pression in sight. If bog producers keep on crying about the ap- proacb of a depression, and there Is contagion of "depressions' di- sease" to other branches of agri- cultural and industrial produc- tion, a depression might result from the scare alone. Even if prices stay at the present level, claimed Mr. Graham, the sup- posed depression which farmers think migbt occur next summer wouid be one of the most prosper- Oua depressions Canada bas ever experienced. Lower priced pork products are resulting in mucb greater sales on the home market. The trade agreement made witb England for the shipment of bacon cannot be met sînce the number of hoga being raised in Canada will not xneet the demanda of both mar- kets. We in Canada are faced with Ploaing future trade agreements with Britain due to our inability to meet our obligations. Argen- ctint' la providing us with stiff conipetition. During the war the Peron government in Argentine confiscated British holdings in that country, promising tbat the ipnice of these învestment would be paid back in preferentiel trade agr.ements. External Markets Limlted Since it is not likely that these debts to Bitain will be paid off for the next few yeens, Canadien bacon producers will have to tigliten their control on the num- ber of hogs produced. Bitain ia naturally seeking the cheapeat source of produce, since she is neanly broke. Argentine is et the momenît fihing the bill. But when Britain's credit runa out with thet country, then Canadian producers wihl perbapa find their external market restored. Mn. Graham exhorted the hog producers not te try to produce the Amenican type of lard bog. The Amenican market is glutted with thousanda of pounds of lard, and with the fatty kind of bacon which United Stetes hog men grow. The only possible way Canadian growers can compete on the Amenicen market la byt raising the high quality bacon hog whicb bas been the customn in the past. T Better Prices in Sight Hog growers need not fear thai -present bacon pnices will persisi stated Mn. Graham. It is believe< 9 that pork products will again e reach the prices they have been 9 realizing at the peak of their rise eduning tbe past few years. t There are twd classes of pig- tmen, injected Mr. Graham upor fstarting bis discussion of the fig- 1ures presented on the mimeo- *grapheci sheets. Tbere is the swill carrier, who shopa the feed in the trough and leavès the pigs tc guzzle wbat they will, regardless of competition. And there is the pig feeder, who carefully appor- tions rations to bis hoga individu- ally, noting when certain animais aren't feeding properly. The lat- ter is the man who uaes the ieast feed and yet manages to come through with thé bestshogs and the highest profits. Greater Efflciency Needed 1 We do not need lower feed prices and greater export mar- kets as much as we neeci higher oefficiency on the home front, claimed Mr. Graham. Some pro- producers are realizing good profits on their animals even with prices as tbey are. And this is be- cause tbey are approaching their naising problema intelligently and scientificaily. There are bog rais- ers in Durham County who are merely feeding a herd of pigs. Tbey are gaining nothing or next to nothing for their efforts. Mr. Graham put this question to the producers-"How can a man expect to make money on bis swiîîe when he leaves the ani- mais out in the cold, in a filthy shed wbere they can pick up di- seases, witbout a protective lay- er of straw which saves the weîght of the animals who non- mally lose poundage in severe weatber in trying to warm tbem- selves". Hog producers should blame the government leas for their plight and tbemselves more. Efficiency alwaya pays off. Figures Dont Lie at ;t, ýn ;e n e 0 ýs e S t e Mr. Graham supported allhibs! arguments by neference te the figures neatiy ciessifieci on bbe mimeograpbed sheets. comtinuai- ly reminding themn that these statistica are not the product of a statisticien without knowiedge of the true picture, but of the hog producers themaelves. The 55 chosen producers wrote as tbey feht, and stili their figures show- ed that profits and efficiency go band in band.
