of thd total product is the factor which the producer marketing board regards as vital to its functioning But the unques tioned control often requires ewnelgshlp of facilities as well there programs Ire necessary and valuable believe lire gresa in agriculture must be achieved mainly by organlred farmeraction The record of activities and accomplishments in data of producers cooperative and marketing and bargaining pro grams is testimony to the fact that selfhelp and selfreliance figure prominently in the think ing of farm people Contrary to what many behave Canad ian farm people would much prefer to receive fair ex lty perhaps we should straighten out our thinking in regard to these groups The ever increasing abund ancc of food and farm prodticta is accentedall too often as legitimate reason for depressed farm prices and farm incomes What we must do and what has not been done is to assure to the farmer the benefits of his own increase in productiv Generally speaking the farm family is living better than 20 years ago gtliiechnnizatlon of farm practices and moderniza tion of farm homes has meant blg adance in rural living as direction in the handling of the product The voluntary cooperative has depended largely upon the ownership of facilities and handlinghf the product as its chief chrd Tito producer marketing board has counted largely on control of the total product am convinced that we have come to the time when both producers should be used together to coordinato pro duccr control of thaproduet through the useof farmer own ed facilities with the idea where necessary of moving in to transporting staring pro cessing manufacturing and in change value for farm products they produce and sell rather than find it necessary to adopt programs involving

struc ture of Canadian hogs for the pastyear makes his predictably The outlook $29 to $30 per owt for Grade hogs until August 1961 Marshall Department of Agricultural Econondcsme searcherwith the Oh no Agri cultural College cautlo ever apply only for bags ing pens or for farrowuigs up to January and February next year We can lookfnr lower prices in the fallof 156 and through 1962 Dont let good hog priceain the first half of 1961 encourage heavy breed ingsit mightybe mistake Professor Marshall points to his threeyear graph showing the history of Dominion Bureau of Statistics marketing fore casts as evidence Using theseforecasts and taking into consider on other factors af fecting price he can estimate hogprices quite accurately Since about the middle of June Grade bogs have been fluctuating at or around $27 per hundredweight This is the glughest that hog prices have been for two years or since September 1958 Weve come out of the prolonged period of overproduction Our weekly hog marketings for the last couple of months have been thelowastrsincethesummerof 1958 Hog marketinga have been running about 110000 per week logs for the last This is considerable drop from the 140000 to 150000 per week marketed through the first six months of this year And is big drop from the priceslump conditions of 165 000 per week in 1959 Professor Marshall feels the higher prices could have been felt earlier had we not had considerable storage stocks to draw from the past couple of months Im sure this isnt tempor ary price rise he states Apart from possible season al decline in November and December when marketings are usually fairly heavy expect hog prices to niove up again from the present $27 to an average of $29 to 530 through the first six months of 1961 Prices might even go as high as $32 or $33 in June and July Predicted DIBIS hog market three months of this year and for the first six months of 1961 are estimat ed at about 120000 per week If these forecasts are correct and they usually arent for off says Marshall my fore casts shouldnt be off The OAC economist expects fluctuations around this $25 to 530 average Hisguesa strong er ihan average market in Feb
