AGREES ''LANNEO PRODUCTION
TO BE AGRICULTURAL NECESSITY
Ontario Federation of Agrieul-
nture delegates decided at their
24th annual convention m ' o1onto
last week that planned production
was going to be necessary in the
future, and asked the OFA to
adopt such a policy and pursue
ways and means of implementing
the policy. The resolution was 'dis-
cussed at length with some mild
disagreement, but eventually pass-
ed with the support of the meet-
ing.
This convention was relatively
quiet, compared .to previous OFA
meetings, butit was not because
of disinterest. Few controversial
topics came up, and the delegates
devoted their time and energies
to considering the future, in line
with the convention theme of "The
,ext 10 Yeats in Agriculture."
Both panel discussions probed the
future- in agriculture, with some
tthought-provoking ideas express -
d.
One panel ,chaired by Dr. H. H.
Hannam, president of the Cana-
dian Federation of Agriculture, ex-
amined future relationships be-
tween Canadian farmers and Unit-
ed States farmers. The panel was
given the job of deciding if the
future was a question of survival
of the fittest, or whether a com-
mon market might be the answer.
No definite conclusions were reach-
ed, but F. J. Rossiter, Agricultural
Attache at the U.S. Embassy in
Ottawa, did suggest that his gov-
ernment would not only be inter-
ested in the possibilities which a
common market might have, but
would even welcome discussion on
it between the two countries. He
thought this was a subject which
farm leaders might delve into on
their own.
Other panel- members, Dr. W.
C. Hopper, economist for the CFA,
Dr. ,John Brown, Secretary of the
Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Grow-
ers Association, and Ken Stand-
ing, Secretary -Manager of the On-
tario_ Soyabean Growers Market-
ing Board and the Ontario Wheat
Producers Marketing Board, were
not agreed with Mr. Rossiter on
the future of a common market
insofar as Canadian farmers are
-concerned. Mr. Standing referred
to the six nation common market
established in Europe, and said
he thought they were building a
tariff wall around themselves, in-
timating it could happen with U.
BETIIEL WMS, WA
Bethel WMS and WA societies
mgt at the 'home of Mrs. Stanley
Hillen. The theme was "Mission."
Mrs. Everett. Beuerrnan and Miss
Tennie Dennis had charge of the
devotional exercises.
The topic from the study book
was prepared by Mrs. N. Stimore
and presented by Mrs. Don Dennis
and Mrs. Percy Dalton. It dealt
with Ecumenical wear with re-
gards to the refugee problem in
Europe and the Holy Land.
Mrs. Charles Boyd gave a de-
tailed account of the morning ses-
sion of the Sectional meeting which
was held in Duff's Church, McKil-
lop. She used a flip chart in order
to bring a clearer picture to the
members. Mrs.- William Roe also
gave a full report on the after-
noon session, the highlight being
the address by Miss Stevenson, a
missionary on furlough.
Miss Ethel ,Dennis gave a talk
on Christian Education by means
of a flannelgraph. Mrs. William
Roe also„ gave a report on the
Christian Education meeting which
was held in Clinton, the theme be-
ing, "We Promised." Mrs. C.
Boyd-- is to send the bandages,
which are to go to Nigeria.
Mrs. William Dennis presided
for the WA. meeting ,which follow-
ed. The minutes of the last meet-
ing were read and theroll call
was responded to by 25 members.
The Hallowe'en social netted $28.10
and a very successful copper con-
test was concluded. A motion was
made that all officers remain the
same for another year, and this
was agreed- upon.
The Holiday Bags are to be
brought to the December meeting
and the reports are to be made
ready.

S. and Canada. Dr. Brown thought
that removal of tariffs between
Canada and the U.S. would be a
detriment to Canadian producers
because of the ability of American
farmers to produce more cheaply
from larger units.
A second panel, chaired by Geo.
McLaughlin, a well-known dairy
farmer from Beaverton, with Wil-
liam Tilden, new OFA president
from Harriston, A. H. K. Mus-
grave, OFA vice-president, of
Clarksburg, Grant Hudson from
Lyn, and Dr, H. L. Patterson, Di-
rector of Agricultural Economics,
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture, as panel members, devoted
its time to the future for Ontario
agriculture. Some of the conclu-
sions reached by the panel was
that planned production would be
necessary for at least some crops,
that farmers will feel the impact
of mechanization and improved
techniques more than ever before,
and that farmer co-operatives will
be needed to help the farmer in
his business. Mr. Hudson went fur-
ther with suggestions that the
Federation of Agriculture could
offer specific services of farm
management advice, legal assist-
ance, estate planning and income
tax calculations to members. He
felt that the federation could help
with such problems as smoothing
out transitional periods for farm-
ers forced out of agriculture or
forced to make serious adjust-
ments within the industry.
The wrath of a few delegates
was directed at careless hunters
when a resolution was brought
forward to amend the Game and
Fisheries Act. Cases of livestock
killed, human lives threatened and
farm buildings being fired at were
cited, and delegates called ,for
stifferpenalties for trespassing on
farms and for licenses for all fire-
arms, even when used for target
practice. Another resolution call-
ing for open season on deer, which
in some areas were causing $1,000 -
damage a year,to fruit trees, was
tabled by delegates, consistent
with the above resolution.
Cream Producers
Seek Marketing Aid
Cream producers in the Huron -
Perth zone have decided to urge
the Ontario Cream Producers at.
their annual meeting November 15
in Toronto to press for some type
of marketing board to market all
dairy products. Such a board,
members felt would be in a pre-
ferred position to export whatever
product was in oversupply.
The provincial meeting will also
be requested to group all vege-
table oil products (other than
soap) with lard and that they be
listed together for government pro-
duction figures 'released to the
press.
The zone gave support to a mat-
ter regarding "inadequate portions
of butter served to the public in
restaurants"—as brought up at the
recent annual meeting in Toronto
of the Ontario Federation of Ag-
riculture. A resolution was draft-
ed by Friday night's meeting to be
forwarded to the provincial meet-
ing, asking that appreciation be ex-
tended those restaurants which
provide a suitable portion of but-
ter.to customers. Prior to the
last war a pound of butter was cut
into 48 servings, said one producer
=while today that same pound is
cut into 96 servings.
The group will also request the
provincial body to ask that the
federal price support for butter
fat be not less than the present
64c per pound, over the winter
months.
The Legion Corner
(By JACK HOLLAND)
Well, Comrades, here we are
again with some more news for
you. The annual memorial church
parade was held last Sunday to
First Presbyterian Church. De-
spite the weather there was a fine
turnout. Under the leadership of
George Hildebrand, the SDHS
Band led the parade. They cer-
tainly looked sharp in their new
uniforms and are a credit to the
town.
Well, our Poppy drive is over
for another year and I am pleas-
ed to report that it was quite suc-
cessful. Now, you readers who
might not know the reason for the
Poppy Campaign, I will describe
briefly the reasons, and for what
purpose this money is used. The
Poppy Fund can ONLY be used for
one purpose, and that is to help
Veterans and their families who
are in financial straits. The help
from the fund comes in the form
of food, clothing, fuel and accom-
modation. So, when you buy a
Poppy you know that you are
helping someone else fortunate
than you.
Our regular monthly meeting
comes up this Thursday evening,
and since it is our nomination
meeting it is quite important that
a large attendance will be on hand.
Armistice Day is on Friday and
the Legion will be having their
annual parade and the placing of
wreaths on the Cenotaph. There
will also be short religious services
held at 10:15 a.m. Rev. C. E. Sul-
livan is holding a service in St.
James' Church and Rev. D. Leslie
Elder is conducting the service in
the Legion auditorium—both ser-
vices at the same time.
The Ladies' Auxiliary—God bless
'em—are holding a pot -luck sup-
per Friday evening. Time will be
announced on parade. On Satur-
day night there is the weekly bingo
and the jackpot is worth $60, so
let's see you there.
Before closing we'll jot down the
schedule again for your conveni-
ence: Nov. 10, Thursday: Regu-
lar and nomination meeting, 8:30
p.m. Nov. 11, Friday': Religious
services at St. James' and'Legien
auditorium, 10:15 a.m., followed
by parade to Centoaph; pot -luck
supper in the evening. Bowling
from 7 to 9. p.m., Friday evening.
Nov. 12, Saturday night, weekly
bingo.
This is all for the present, so
we'll sign off with a thought for
our fallen 'Comrades: "At the go-
ing down of the sun and in the
morning we shall remember
them."
See you on parade Friday morn-
ing, Armistice Day.

branch of the Department of Agri-
culture, advised the meeting on the
Brucellosis testing. He said great
numbers of farms were affected,
but' not too great a number of cat-
tle were going down on the test.
