the tribune stouffville ont thursday december 21 1950 milk producers would establish own plant for using surpluses alan lishman of pickering is the only new director among 15 producers representatives on the toronto milk producers associa tion it was announced following the election of officers at a meeting in the king edward hotel tor onto on monday three hundred milk producers of the toronto milk shed were present mr lish man had the further honor of presenting the association with a cheque for sioo donated by the south ontario producers which is their extraordinary contribution to promote the current advertising campaign of the dairy farmers of canada this money was accepted by earl kitchen secretarytreas urer of the canadian dairy farm ers association farmer- who supply toronto with upwards of 100000000 pounds of milk per year arent happy about the price they get for their milk dissatisfaction with the price of 120 per 100 pounds obtained by arbitration on october 2 was voiced at the meeting the associations president v h hoiles of xobleton said there were two causes of high milk and milk production costs in the tor onto milk shed the first is that when the farmer has the most milk in the summer the con sumer doesnt want it the con sumer may be away for all or part of the time the other factor in raising pro duction costs is that toronto is supplied with milk from only three sides lake ontario forms the fourth side of the toronto milk producing area conse quently milk to meet the citys demands must be brought from as far as goderich on the west and napanee on the east these trans portation costs have to be borne by producer as well as consumer furthermore said mr hoiles the farmer has been affected by soaring costs of living as well as the city dweller labor and farm supplies and equipment cost the farmer more in his summary of market con ditions mr hoiles added the use of margarine in place of butter has reduced the income of the cream producer and in turn has reflected on other dairy products the recent price advances in cheese however are most encouraging although shortages of supply are reported the association however did not vote lor further negotiations toward increased whole milk prices such negotiations with the distributors if it failed would entail a further reference by the producers to milk control board instead a committee was appointed to investigate costs and probable returns from the estab lishment of a milk processing plant for the toronto milk shed at present surplus milk shipped to the toronto market above the quota assigned to each producer brings a return of only 250 per hundred pounds of milk testing 35 per cent butterfat or better basic butterfat content of milk shipped for distribution direct to consumers is set at 34 per cent feeling of the association members was that they might obtain a better return for their milk pro duction if they controlled the means of turning surplus milk in to secondary dairy products milk being used for cheese production now brings 4 per 100 pounds most of those present agreed that miik producers should be guaranteed a more accurate check on the weight of the products they ship to toronto dairies according ly a resolution was passed asking that the ontario government in troduce legislation to force dairies to use printomatic weighing equipment on somewhat the same subject the chairman suggested that farmers make wider use of their own trucking services or co operative trucks at the same time the meeting endorsed a new agreement between the producers and the truckers under which new zones are established and new rates are agreed upon meaning that there will be an increase in trucking prices of two to four cents per can depending on loca tion once again it was vigorously stated by the meeting that farmers who supply the toronto market are the lowest paid milk producers in ontario trucker stltltck twice ix two hours mervin dunn 17 of north york was
