wanted to know how many weaner pigs were sold.

Mr. Mclsaac, chairman. said than anyone at the meeting must talk to the point. This matter of weaiier pigs was not mentioned in the ze- port.

Continuing. Mr. Laird wanted to know if itre new shipping club men- tioned ln the secretary's report was formed by the directors.

Mr. McIsaac said the shipping club was not injurious to the board.

Mr. Gillies stated that when the scheme did not go through, it was necessary to take other steps to compete with practices in rise by others.

Mr. Mclsaac declared that the board had facts which were confl- dentisl. Because of this information it. was necessary to organize the club. It llas no bearing on the meeting. he told Mr. Earl Ings of Mt. Herbert.

Mr. William Seaman. Breadallbane wanted to know if the shipping as- sociation had nothing to do with the meeting. why was it mention- ed. He considered it “a very im- portant part of our business here tonight." Was this new club re- placing the old organization?

Formed Shipping Club

Mr. Gillies said that the directors had decided on the shipping club to save the board. Practically all the former shipping clubs are still operating but additional nipping agents were appointed. howcvcr.

Mr. Seaman, reporting for the Central Shipping Club, referred to a drover from Hunter River who paid. at one time, as high as 30 cents a hilnded more than the Live- stock Marketing Board. Patrons of another club were pilifl ten Cents ii hundred more than the Centric‘ Club. he charged, because of com- petition from drovers. He complain- ed that returns for hogs were sent directly from Moncton to Mr. Gli- lies. Truckage was not paid for. He charged that the Board was not showing any cooperation. Tllere was an increase in shipments of over 25 per cent in Central club this year. The business on Fitzroy Street was done in the name of the Marketing Board according to fig- ures obtained from the City Clerk's office.

Mr. Gillies explaining that an item of $864.20 for advertising which appeared ln the financial state- ment said that previously each club paid for their own advertising. However this resulted in much du- plicating and it was decided that an advertisement allowance be set up. When the clubs advertised themselves the amount in some years totalled $2000.

Lower Overhead

Mr. Seaman claimed that other firms did the work for smaller cost than the Marketing Board. He. wanted to know if there was a way to do the business more cheap- ly. He asked that the financial statement be let lie on the table and the meeting be not, asked to ap- prove or disapprove of it.

Mr. B. Muclellan, Alma, said that Mr. Seaman had no grounds for most of his statements. He told of efforts of a certain drover to put‘ the Marketing Board out of commission in his district. How- ever, the Board was able to Day better returns despite the fact that they paid for bringing in the hogs whereas the drover did not.

Mr. George MacKay, Albany. said he probably had some claim against Mr. Seaman as he was loading also nearby. He said he would guarantee Mr. Seaman that he did not get 50 cents a hog for hauling as had been insinuated by him. It was no secret what was being paid for hauling but it was not his place to divulge it.

Mr. Donald MacDonald, Glenfrn- nan wanted to know the irature of the relationship between the Asso- ciated Shipping Club and the Live- stock Marketing Board.

On Competitive Basis

Mr. Gillies said the money rc- ceived from the stripping associa- tion came to the board. The organi- zation was on a strict competitive basis as it was driven to l‘.

The organization was in competi- tion with businesses whose books were closed, Those of the Board were open. For this reason the Shipping Club was formed. Every section in the province today is working on its own moriis-- there is no such thing as ponllng, The agent is given a fee which is agreed on, He charged that the former Secretary of Albany Club had trucked hogs to a competitor and claimed he could prove this. Mr. Seaman. now acting secretary at Albany. had asked a mainland firm to appoint him their agent, he add- ed.

The Marketing Board's policy from now on would be to meet competition-cooperation or not. "If we are going to exist I got to Bet. the volume oi hogs-and we're getting it," the Manager of the Livestock Marketing Board declar- ed. He added that from now on he was going to get hogs his own way and give the farmers as good a price as they could get anywhere else; nor- was he going to give his competitors any information. Busi- ness has "sratifylngly increased."

Mr. Earl fags, wanted to know where to get the financial report of the Associated Shipping Club which he called "the left-hand wing" of the Board.

Mr. Seaman said that the forni- er secretary had been hauling hogs for a Mr. Green referring to Mr. Gillies’ charge that he had hauled to a competitor. He. challenged any man to say he was not working for cooperation.

Need I'll"!

Mr. L. I-lowatt, Wiltihire, charged that the people wanted the Board to take the pigs, ply for them and do the business for nothing. It was - (y to increase business and “we sought to do it." A scheme. which was proposed, is now in the Courts.

He stresed the need of having faith in the directors.

Mr. MacDonald said. that u Mr. Ings said. probably the constitu- tion has "tied the hands 0f the di- rectors." He cited the need 0f hav- ing the directors responsible to the patrons. This was necessary for co- operation. He asked the meeting to consider changing the constitution to allow the directors to do what they are at the present time.

Mr. Howatt advised awaiting the decision of the Courts regarding the Marketing goheme. In the mean- time the Associated Shippers could carry on.

Mr. J. J. Tkainor, Bcdford. saw! the farmers are concerned with the price they get. for their pigs. ‘The directors should have some freedom of action. He asked the Manager if they were meeting competition and r ~tting a just price.

Mr. Gillies said they were send- ing out more money. The farmers are not paying anything for truck- ing h0g5 now. To do this the contin- gent fund was cut out. Freight rates have been reduced and the trucking service given,

Good Satisfaction

Mr. Geddlc MacLeod, Um; Riv- er, stated that he was getting good satisfaction from the Club. How- ever, the trucking system was not working right in his section.

SECRETARYT REPORT

The following report. of the year's work was submitted by M1‘. J. A. (rillics. Secretary-Manager of the Board:

“This evening we are holding our eighth annual meeting of the Live- stock Marketing Board and shall forthwith present a resume of our activities during the year ending May 31st, 1941. Realizing the time at our disposal for the transaction of business would be rather brief, we endeavored to condense our ob- servations, so that only s minimum o1 time would be required to place the picture before you.

During the period under review, we handled the second largest num- ber of hogs of any in the past eight years, during which period we have been operating. and only a few less than the previous year, which was a banner one in our co- operative effort. A considerable decrease in the number of lambs sold through the organization is evident, but this was only in line with our experience for the past number of years. We are not today an important factor in the market- ing of lambs, and until such time as radical changes take place in lamb marketing practices, produc- ers must be content with the com- petitive system now in control and accept what traders choose to pay them. In the larger lamb producing centres of the Province. producers have been weaned away from the "co-operative" way of selling, end the marketing leverage created by volume control, has been rather ef- fectively neutralized. Calf market- ing is only a "side issue" and under prevailing conditions cannot be car- ried on with any degree of satis- fBCtlQl.

Revenue and Expenditure

"You will notice from the finen- cial statement placed in your hands that our annual turnover was: h0g1, 21,972, lambs. 1.346, calvel 919-04 compared with 22,438, 1.078 and 04b the previous year. This justifies the reference made earlier in the n- port. The financial turnover is I85.- 65228 as compared with M03383.” the previous year. This slight de- crease is accounted for by the cor- mspondlngly small decrease in the nirmbcr of hogs, lambs and calves. Our expenditure was 8294,84 less, and our surplus balance on operat- ing account $134M as against $248.- 69 a year ago.

Weancr Pigs

"During the year we handled weaner pigs on a scale comparable with that of last year. but the rather large number offering iri the fall met with a very restricted de- mand. However, we succeeded in marketing a fair percentage on the mainland and also transferred a large number from one section of the Province to another, thus ren- dering a double service.

"There was a larger number of wirrtcr and early spring litters in evidence this past year than we can recall on any previous occasion, but it was rather difficult to dispose of them to advantage, due main- ly to the unfavorable outlook for hog production as a profitable ag- ricultural pursult. However, with the strengthening of hog prices, as the summer approached, the de- mand for sucker pig! within and without the province, became ex- ceedingly keen and at much high- er prices; in fact we could have sold twice the number we actually did handle. had they been anil- able,

Breeding Peril

"Our experience in handling bred 50W; was somewhat in line with that encountered in our little pig activities. The lowering of values u agreed upon in the renewal of the Bacon ‘Pi-ode Pact with the British Government last Fall. proved e. le- vere shock to the hog industry in this Province. A big reduction iri the anticipated breeding program took place. Our experience was that not over one quarter of the prev- ious year's buslness 1m transact- ed during the fell and winter months, However. like the weiner pig business. there was a comeback

following the improvement in the hog markets, and the generally op- timisiic outlook thereof. During the past three months or so. we lnve

been beseiged with enquiries, re- quests and orders for bred sows. We have not been ublo to satisfy the demand, due mainly to the fact the‘ Irritable young lows were Mt e- ,Vllllbl0 in sufficiently large num- bers. Despite these handicaps our hog pens have shown a odest net revenue.

Regulated M ‘ " ,

"A year ago in our report, en- nounceinent was made to the ef- fect that your directors had a Mar- keting Scheme or Plan prepared, in accordance with instructions issued at previous annual meetings. The plan was drawn up under the terms of marketing legislation passed by the Provincial Legislature at the session immediately preceding. The plan was before the Provincial Mar- ketlng Board for scrutiny and rec- ommendation. It is not necessary for me to go into detail as to its experience since that time, es we have all had opportunity of keep- ing acquainted with its rather tor- tuous course. Our objective has not been gained, nor have our hopes been realized. and notwithstanding the strenuous efforts put forth by the sponsors, who acted on your behalf. we are still without an ap- proved plan for regulating the sale of hogs, sheep and lambs in this
