Beef Boycott WilI Raise Prices State Lecal Producers The housewife boycott cf beef iili drive prices up, net down, acc ording te, the secretary cf the Durharn County Beef Improve- ment Association. The boycott, by Wornen Again- st Searing Prices, started over the weekend. Newt Selby cf Newcnstle, eaul- ed thc boycott "<absoluite folly." 1Middiemen (packers and whoie salers) wiii have te, raise the price when the arnounit cf beef. farmers produce starts dropping, lie said. Mr. Selby said cattie Ireeders have been adviseId by packers net te 'send as mucli beeý,f te imarket- "aksthough, have unions and thleyavle te ipay fer a 40 heurw eek een if their ernpIey- ees are net womking a 40-heur week,. Becanse they are handling ie, tey will have to charge more per unit. "To boyctt beef Will have a dlevastating effeet on the cattie feeder," saidî . eby Itw1 drive bis costs np) elecuse p will have te feed bis cattie long- er thnjs putting on unneeessarY falt whichl wili have te be trcimm- ed off befere being iuechandised. There ywill have te be a wider spread betwcen producer and consumer te nlsorb tlese ndded' oasts," le warned. Beef prodncers are in a very awkwnrd position, said Mm. Selby. "We have been forced into tlis position by seme consumers wbho de net knuow what they are taik- ing aboult." Tie prouoeed boycott ýxoixid "certii)y lburt" beef prodcers, snid Mfike Sawyer, president cf the Durham asociation. "The cests cf feed are continuing te ise and farmers' expenses keep elimbing." BePef producers are fitading they lave a ceiling on the money tbey eau receive for their cattle but thme s noceiling on tbeim eosts, said Mr. Selby, w-ho mnark- ets about 350 hend 'cf cattle na y;ear fr70m bis Newcastle farmi. Mr. Seiby sid tînt evemy tirne the "ive market" drops one cent per pound it costs hlm $3,500. Canadian farmers . are tiedl in closely witb the Arnerican ecee- omiy and the ceiling on ed mnent prices established bxr American Presidlent Richard Nixon meansç "in mality, we now lave a ceiling on mcd rmezmt prices ini Canada," ,said M. îîSiby. "O0ur eonsumer groups had let- ter face :the, facts of ecenemiie if e,", le said. "By worid stand- ards, tley stililhave a good deal whcn it cornes te food, and they must ealize tbat food prices are bound to cimb even bigler."1 Mêr. Seiby said Canadian con- sumers weme fortunate that fond in, Canada costs less, as a per cent cf disposable inceme "than aay other country in thc wold." He did say theme was "justifi- able concern" over inflation, but that this was as great a concemn te farmers as te any other seg- ment of society. Citing statisties presented by thc Canadian Cnt- tlernen's Associýationi in a brief te the bouse cf Commons ;cern- mittee on foced costs, le 3aid fo'od ccsts have net iacreased nearly as rnpidly as incorne. ,Food eosts quite clearly are foi- iowing ratIer than ieading the upward trend in prices." If censumers want a maximum price set on beef, there wiil aise have te le a minimum price set, said Mr. SelbY. le said controls on f arrn priceS wil force producers inevitabiy te respond. by abandoning the free. market place and seeking mini- mum, price levels. "'Ths," he said, "Iwill mitigate, against fur- ther improvements in productiv- ity . . a.nd, in the long run, -,vii womk te the detriment cf loth producers and consumers. "The probiern is tînt farmers are se cledicated te the profes- slon, tbey hang on with a shoe- lace," said Mr. Selby. "Witl price lirnits or boycott, thongh, the ine ntive is taken away" Mm. Selby said bis lown farm lies in the path "of the ever in- creasung asphaît jungle." He ad- ded thnt lie dees net intend to carry on bis cattle feeding oper- atiens elsewbere. "I have spent enough yenrs cf my I11e proCdue- ing cheap beef for an unappre- intive Society.", Ure, Selby bas drâ%wn up a tîree page "brief" listing hL ïme- buttai against "consumer chbarg- es" and intends te sead it te the bead of Wornen Aginst Soar-ing Prices, Margaret Rouble ýor Tor- ente. Mr. Sawycm, Orono, said Mr. Selys comments were bis owa personial views but that lie endorsed the principle. "We are faced with increasing eosts and consumners who,, want ta lmit our ineome," said Mr. Saw- yem. Oro o ,0Skaters Compete In Club Co mpein
