I t TM CANADMA1- STAIEMANR. EOWMAIIV!LLEO1NTAEIO '1'ETJRSDAY. SEPT 1'lUi COU The Bock Forty Acres By Bryan L. White in The Ottawa Journal The fact officiais of the U.S. Department of Agri- culture "don't like" aur new plan for payxng deficiency pay-ments on eggs can be taken with a grain of sait. The story came f rom a Canadian Press reporter in Washing- ton and appeared in The Journal earlier this week. Actually for U.S. officials ta start crying hurt at thi.s stage is a little hard ta take. Their fear, or so it is claimed, is that dirt cheap Canadian eggs will cross the border ta compete i the U.S. market. They start to ceau it "subsidizAd food" and say that if these eggs get into open competitian in outside of Canada markets there couid be retaliation. The dlaim is also made in this Washington story that while the U.S. supports much of its awn food pro- duction "we don't send subeidized food into other countries that don't want it". That sounds mighty like double-talk and is hard ta recancile with some of the things that have happened in world wheat markets. On firnier graund, in aur 'opinion, is the dlaim by, U.S. officiais that their experience has indicated that" deficiency payments lead ta increased production. U. S. Secretary o! Agriculture Benson said recently he was concerned over the Canadian plan ta change its hog support price policy into one of deficiency payments. He felt the new plan would "greatly stimulate" hog produc- tion here and prove a threat ta the U.S. market. And later Mr. Benson told his House committee of agriculture that he opposed floor prices on lightweight hogs because it would stimulate production and would 49'put the government in the hog business". Here in Canada we have the president of Ontari( Poultry Producers saying his organization is "keeni disappointed" that the government saw fit to disregar( the advice of his group and institute deficiency payment! on eggs. His reasons were about what we anticipatec they would be in this column on Tuesday. Here you have a growing mass of contrary opinior on, very fundamental issues as far as agricultural pro. ducers are concerned. It is also an issue on which farnr groups are dividea. The government iaàs chosen to gc along with one group, disregard the advice of another Another patent warning that organized farmers had bettei dlean their own house, get dloser together, if they wani to exert any worthwhile influence. In the opinions quoted above two things stand out First the dlaim that deficiency payments encouragE greater. production and the other, Mr. Benson's aversior the latter opinion we wholeheartedly agree-no govern- men wa evr itened o gt ito hewholesale rdC or mat usiess s adirct byerandlater as a sel1ei or radr. t s nt te usiessofgovernment. As ta deficiency payments encouraging productibr it would appear this is something about which a lot morE might be known. If the U.S. people are right and more eggç. later hogs, are to be produced under the plan, then its worth is questionable as far as the farmer is concerned. For the present at least we don't want more of either product. ____________ o y Poli ce Seek Witnesses to This Crash Which Killed[ Three Although traffic was proceeding almost bumper to shows, the two cars were wrecked.

Your Hog House Abestos cernent board, aium.- inum, and galvanized iron do their best job when they're us- ed as roofing inaterlal. It's est to stay away froni thesemat- erials in any other part of a hog house. That's what O.A.C. argricul- tural engineer, F. H. Ttheakstori, found after investlgiatlng ap- plication methods, costs and per- formatnce of six differenit mater- iais foar use in hog houses. "'After the bouses were ln use for a year we found the plywood siding and roofing and the ton- gue and groove siding gave the best service," said Thleakston. "The plywood roofing did need repamnting but was much sup- erior to the hardiboard siding whidh hadi warped andi had holes lat" "The asbestos cenent board sidàng was badfly damaged an~d hiad three large hales in the sid- ing of one bouse."I he added. Professor Theakston found hat the walls of aluxninurn sheetinrg were in badi shape. The aluminum had pusted. out and the nails pulled tihrough. The galvaniized iron came through the test better though it exhibi- ted bulges at the bottom of dioors and walls.
