®()je fk^l^txion %Hmu. Vol. 52. Non4 Flesherton, Ontario, February I, 1933 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors FEVERSHAM The MUling; Co. held its annual meeting in the Orange hall, here, on Tuesday, Jan. 24th. The business of the year was gone over aid the audUor''S report was received and adapted. There was only a small «ittendancc of the old shareholders, v»ry few of the old heads who were •behind the project from the beginning •being present. The most of the "criticism of the management was over the ever-mounting credit accounts. The shareholders received a I0'''c dividend and a baiance of $523.97 was reported. Well, they did not have that amount in the bank, a-s the bank book showed less than 1300.00 to their credit; the balance of over $200.00 was post dated chequ'eo that the sec- treas. held. A debt paid by cheque is not paid until the cheque is paid. There is $2176.92 of outstanding book accounts, beside $2S0.50 of notes making credit in all $2,457.50, of course they say they will get them collected with interest. That is not the experience of the men in business today. They will do well if they are able to collect 50 7<; of them and with the credit on the mill books growing! larger every year would contradiel- their argument and then if some af the post dated cheques do not be paid the. credit will be more. There iis practically no money on hand and' every year or two the company is - wiiting off "no good" accounts. This year they wrote off over $400 and a few years ago there was $900 written off, and there are more now. If any- thing happened to the mill or if the dam went out in flood-time, where would we land? Borrow money and pay interest at one time, as Mr, Eer- nahan toi'd the meeting in Jan. 1932. This mill he ^aid had paid 409; , where has the money gone. "Echo answers where." Just one more question: il our mill has a turnover of $9,000.00 or â- over in a year why is the treas- urer not bonded"? The raiH and machinery was put there 28 years ago in 1905 and was valued jit*$10,- 000.00 and has only deprecia.ted $200, as it is still valued at $9,800.00. Why doesn't the mill make more money, is the question asked, or the customer get better served. They report 30,- 470 lbs. of flour changed for wheat. The miller claims he can indke a barren of flour out of less than 5 bushel of good wheat. They pay 50c a bushel for wheat and sell the flour for $4.00 per barren. At' that rate they get from the farmer just 8 bushel of wheat f«r -pvei-y tarrell of flour he gets and have t"he kbtan and shorts as well. At 'fhat -rate they could pay the customer 70c per bushel for good whaat. have pOc extra for milling it and the bcanyind shorts to the good. They could -"give 6&C per bushel for wheat in exchange for flour and then haire profit enauifeh. They buy the wheat and sell "the far- mer the flour at present. The diair- man of the board of ffiareotoa.'s :t6ld us at the annual meeting- of the Co. in January 1932, that he was proud of what the farmer cotfld (tto when they paid 12';r di'-idend. What was be proud of? Their takinsr esttrbitani toll of their brother farmer? When one of the shareholders criticVa^ theB management he was told tiiat if ht kept on he would hare the whok; country in an uproar. VANDELEUR The Women's Institute held their January meeting at the hom« of Mrs. F. R. Boland, when a good program was provided.

They surely live the life of faith. With the cer- tainty that the price they will .cceive for their pi-oducts will not pay the costs incurred, they go cheerfully about their work. Th.-y take all manner of risks â€" drought, hail, frost, grasshoppers, rust and soil-dep;'ction; they sell eggs, butter and other pro- ducts at a low price â€" yet they re- main optimistic; do their best to keep churches and schools open, and pay their debts in kind when they have the opportunity. These are the people who deserve encouragement. For- tunately the .onviction is growing that the welfare of all Canada de- pends upvin the prosperity of the farmers.
