Their plan of operation really originated with the government during the war. At this time, in order to increase the production of beans the Government paid a 50 cent subsidy per bushel, In 1943 the Producers set up their marketing plan and deducted a fee for',the operation of their organiza- tione plus a further levy for the purpose of exporting any surplus that might arise. At.present, the total deduction is 85 cents per hundred, with 8 cents used to finance the organization, and 77 cents available to subsidize exports. In years before 1951 deal- ers in beans often stopped buying around the new year. This put pres- sure on the grower to rush his beans out and often resulted in ab- normally low prices. To overcome this difficulty, the ' board set up a company which , is operated by the board and wbieh would gaurantee to purchase beans at the 'minimum price every day of the year. While this has been of real benefit to the grower, it has placed, the Board in the posi- theli'-that The trade has been able to attract a larger percentage of the best quality beans and leave the Board with the problem of ht.fidling the lower quality of cndp. et This has at times resulted in a lost on this part of the Board's operation, but the gains to the grower from having an every-day- iziatket and having no surplus car- ried over from.year to year has far outweighed the +loss. A local dealer baS called for an investigate tion into the operations of the Board, hut the- growers can be- s'ured that the .books of their oi'- ganization, are audited by char- tered atieouhianits and subject to regular'" eV eli'iifnent inspection and deed have not'concern for such an investigation. Perhaps they in turn should request a similar investiga- tion Into the operatives of the deal- ers. -• - -Two things that the' iioara would like to see is sale of beans by gov- ernment grade standards, and proof of financial stability of all dealers before licensing.

Telis' New Plans (By "Tempus", in The Montreal Financial Times) You can't win an election on the seat of your pants. This was the opinion of Jim Scott, as he arriv- ed in Ottawa from Toronto to give the Grits new ° glands. Officially this swarthy Scott is the new Na- tional Organizer and Secretary of the Liberal Party in Canada. The new Liberal Brain Truster, who is a widower with a daugh- ter in Toronto, expects to beat John Diefenbaker next election. He will start to live out of a suitcase, To chose the Tories off the Hill, his equipment will consist of a folding :Magic Carpet, some train schedules, -. and a miniature of Mike Pearson for his hip wallet. * * * Scott, a Master of Arts from To- ronto, as well as having an A.M. from Harvard, comes as the most erudite Liberal who ever entered the National Grit headquarters. He has also had some knockabout ex- perience. He had hit fling in the Ivy League thrice, teaching stu- dents at the universities of Sas- katchewan, Toronto and Western Ontario. Ile also wag a book -re- viewer for The Toronto Telegram, and is a refugee from the C.B.C., where he did to stretch as Talks and Public Affairs authority . * * * He served a year as adviser and assistant to former Ontario Liberal Leader Farquhar Oliver. Not the least of his attainments is that he is historian of Huron County, and is about to produce "Huron County in Pioneer Times•.". A dedicated Grit, Scott says: "We are going to beat Diefenbak- er next time, and I •am serious about that." * * Encouraged to explain this quon- dam miracle, Scott said that h. s first job was-to`make friends. Next, he added that you do not win elec- tions by lofty, overall strategy. Earlier this Mouthpiece had put his Liberal finger on what he call- ed Theto Road' Gains. ains. With his folded glasses, he was pointing on the map to Toronto, give or take a few townships. "You win the seats one by one," said. Scott as his spectacles point- * * Vegetable Storage Important If vegetables cannot ,be cooked as soon -as purchased. tbe'Y heed to be properly stored. A lttle special care in storage will help to retain the texture, flavor and food value of vegetables. For temporary storage, such vegetables as cauliflower, corn and peas should be left in their na- tural state — cauliflower in sur- rounding green leaves, corn in the husks, peas in the. pods. It is ad- visable to store root vegetables with tops removed, since moisture may be drawn from the• roots to the leaves. Lettuce, spinach, chard and celery are best trimmed and washed before storage. Even vegetables which do not spoil quickly are best stored in a cold place. At room temperature many vegetables lose their vitamin C rapidly. The crisper of the re' frigerator is a convenient storage for asparagus, beans, peas, toma- toes and leafy green vegetables. Cellophane bags can be used to advantage for covering many veg- etables. Onions, dried beans and dried peas- should be 'stored ,in. a dry place. Keep canned vegetables cold but avoid freezing, which impairs 'the palatability. Frozen vegetables should be kept in the freezing compartment until ready for use and cooked in the frozen state. Do not re -freeze thawed vegetables.

MAIN S. ed to the Toronto area" Another moment he ejaculated: "If I were a smart candidate look- ing for a good -riding in which to win, I would take the map, and pick any seat between Oshawa and Niagara Falls. Because this is where the Liberals made the most significant gains in last summer's Ontario Provincial elections. The biggest gains are where the Tories are thickest—that was. proven in the Ontario elections," he said. "We have 'got to put a new faee on the Liberal Party," he con- tinued. "We will have no brain washuig in our Party. We do not seek any demagogic election. - "We can win every time with Liberal, democratic processes and democratic style elections in Can- ada. "As 'Liberal 'organizer, I do not care for this brain washing, this denial of democracy. I refer to the switch last election from pol- icy to personality. "It maybe worked once—it will not work again!" He said he did not propose to stay in his old office which is soon to have a new name down at 251 Cooper Street, Ottawa. The National Liberal Federation emerges as the Liberal Party head- quarters. "I am going to get out .anti meet the people and win votes," he declared.; "As I said: You do not win votes in this building; you do not get elected sitting on the seat of your. pants," Discuss Costs Of Keeping Herd Sire Keeping a herd sire is surpris- ingly expensive. But is he too ex- pensive? Maybe this advice from O.A'.C.'s Dr. Bruce Stone will help. The Ontario Department of Ag- riculture dairy cattle researcher says that; "Too few dairymen fig- ure out the actual cost of keeping a bull before they decide to buy or sell one. And even fewer farmers compare this cost with that of us- ing only A.I." Most people try to buy a breed- ing -age bull (12 to 15 months) that will improve the herd. This will cost $250 to $350. To feed a bull of this age (weight about 1100 lbs.) you will need nearly 2500 lbs. of• hay and 1500 lbs. of grain per year. With hay selling for $20 a ton and grain $55 a ton, total annual feed costs including concentrate would be $85 to $100. Cost of bedding, housing and_vet- erinary service will vary, but an -average figure would be $50. Labor costs are similar. For the total annual cost of keeping a herd sire you should figure interest on your money plus depreciation, which Would bring the figure to nearly it $250. . With air average -sized dairy herd in Ontario (25 to 30 cows), service from such a bull would cost $8,50. to $10. Compare this to -the .arti- ficial service fee of $5. "A saving of $90 to -$150 can be made, by using entirely A.I. me an average -sized herd," correlucies Stone. The break-even pointseems to be at the 45 to 50 cow level. "There's another consideration," says Stone, "For a little extra feed and labor and about the! same hous- ing costs; you can replace the'bull with a milk cow which should make you about $50." * * * Jim Scott, the 44 -year-old boy from, Seaforth, Ontario, seems anal talks and acts like a new_ breeze blowing through ..the dingy and jaded old building. DON'T STOP FEEDING 'MINERALS IN. Sl'rtIN Here's, an idea you might want to test if you stop feeding minerals every Spring. e n a Dick r pre.setativ D ck Heard relates how a Burriss farm- er, Angus Hyatt,• kept record of how the butterfat content'fluctuat- ed with mineral and no -mineral feeding.' "Iiis...cows dropped in the butter- fat content of their milk when he stopped feeding mineral last June. Then, when he started to feed min- erals again in September the milk test went up," says Heard. The figures: January, February and March tested 3.6%; April and .May, 3.5%; June, July and August (no mineral fed), 3.4%; September, 2.9%; October, 3.6%; November, 4.2%, and December tested 3.5%. The first meeting of Grey Town- ship •Federation directors lar 1960 was held in Ethel on Feb. 23 with 13 directors present. Mr. Jack Knight, the pew president, presid- ed. Rae Houston was appointed secretarptrdasurer for 1960. Secretary -treasurer Rae Houston read the minutes of the previous meeting and gave ail account of .the finances, presenting..bills of the annual meeting for pa Ment, He was given permission. to sign Fed- eration cheques and to pay neces- sary trills •as presented. The meeting approved a resolu- tion, n)oved by Wm. Bremner and seconded by Wilfred Strickler and instructed that it be sent to County Federation. The resolution fol- lows: Whereas, -farm boys and girls 14 years old or over are re- lieving the farm labor problem by driving tractors doing farm work; and whereas the law calls for these farm helpers to be 16 years of age before they can drive down the road from one farm to another. Therefore, be it resolved' that farm boys or girls, 14 years old or over, be allowed to drive farm tractors on roads while doing farm by some change in the 'Taw.. Mr. Charles Thomas, as one of two Huron County delegates, spoke of the benefit and pleasure he had received 'from attending a .leader- ship training course, sponsored by Community—Program Branch and Ontario Department of Agriculture at Guild Inn, Scarborough. As these two departments are anxious to conduct similar courses on a county basis, --Mr. Thomas suggest- ed that a letter be sent to Mr. Doug Miles, Clinton, also to Mr, Robert Second, Hanover, expressing Fed= eration desire to have a course held in Huron County. James Wil- liamson, Seconded the suggestion_ Cliff Bray and Doug Fraser sponsored the following resolution to County Federation: Whereas, in- ferior products (pork) are bein counter to oucon- sumers g sold over the ou with no stamp- as to show whet country it came from; and, whereas we feel that imported pro. THE 21st ,ANNUAL Best Fertilizer Is Often the Cheapest "Buying the cheapest fertilizer is surprisingly expensive," admits Professor W. T. Ewen, of the Soils Department, Ontario Agricultural College. • It'strue that low analysis fer- tilizer will cost you less per ton. But it's the ,plant food you want and the cheapest way to this is in the higher . analysis fertilizers. Here's why: Let's suppose that last year you could 'buy two -tons of 2-12-10 for $110 ($55 per ton) laid down on your farm. One ton of 4-24-12 would give you the same amount or plant food, but coat only $90. If you bought the higher analysis fertilizer you saved $20 a ton. •Od at in -ton shipment, total savings would amount to $200. The, higher analysis fertilizer 4- 24-20 contains twice- as many pounds of plant food as 2-12-10 and hasn't the room for filler. And 4-24-20 requires only half as' many bags, half the freight and half the handling charges. "There are one or two exceptions to this general rule of saving with a high analysis fertilizer, but any- one with a price list and a pencil can figure out which grade is the bektter buy," says Ewen. The Canadian Red Cross Society has been serving Canada and the world since 1909. duce should. bear' a stump as to what country produced the pro - duet. Therefore, be it resolved that "la' packaged produce and carcass- es be stamped, stating country that produced the same. William Bremner consented to get a Federation director for Molesworth. A letter of thanks and .appreciation will be sent. to Mr. Elston Cardiff, M.P., for be- ing the guest speaker at the an- nual meeting. . • Grey Township Federation will this year sponsor Brussels 4-H Grain Club, barley being the sug: gested crop. No leader was con- firmed, although several were mentioned. Mr. Murray Hoover will be assistant leader. Wilfred Strickler suggested an information meeting with a good speaker. Suggested topics were zero grazing,•pasture,management, cereal crops. Jack Knight, Jan Van Vleit and Rae Houston were appointed a committee to arrange same, tobe held, if possible, the latter part of March.
