The result of the survey of supplies for the schools was pre- sented to the board. The list for each school was checked and an order placed with Jack Hood for next year's supplies, delivery to be made in September. There was a lengthy discussion on transportation problems. Ross Nichol was given the. contract to transport pupils of SS No. 9 and living on the 7th concession to SS No. 4. By unanimous vote• the board decided to transport enough pupils from the 8th, 9th and Boun- dary from Walton school, so as to reduce the attendance there to approximately 36.

FURROW AND FALLOW - By FAIRBAIRN An arbitration hearing by the Milk Industry Board in Toronto last week brought into the open a controversy between milk produc- ers that could have far-reaching effects on milk marketing not only in the, Toronto area, which is di- rectly concerned at the moment, but throughout the whole country. This hearing was called because the Ontario Whole Milk League, the recognized negotiating body for all producers in the province, and acting on behalf of the Toron- to Milk Producers in this case, had been unable to reach agreement on several points with the Toronto Milk Distributors. So the Board asked all interested parties to state their case—and several took advantage of the opportunity. The main point of difference was the League's request for an in- crease in the butterfat differen- tial. Before the war, this used to fluctuate with the wholesale price of butterfat but since 1940 has re- mained constant at 3.5c for every 1/10 per cent butterfat over 3.4% (considered standard for whole milk) paid to producers on each 100 pounds of milk. For example, in the Toronto market where the base price is $5.10 ' per cwt. for 3.4% milk, producers shipping 5% milk get 5.66 per cwt. The League contended that distributors buying 5% milk gain 40 to 50c per cwt. because of this since they are buy- ing the extra butterfat at some- where around 35c when it can be sold at about 67c. They want the differential increased to .06c so producers of high test milk will get more while they recommend lowering the base which would re- sult in low test shippers getting less. The odd development is that the most violent objection to this came from the Channel Island breeders—Jersey and Guernsey— who would stand to benefit from the increased prices. Actually that's the reason this question has been hanging around for more than two years without being negotiat- ed but after resolutions passed at two annual meetings and by a di- rectors'. meeting the League final- ly acted. Naturally, the distribu- tors opposed the increased differ- ential because it would increase costs of five out of 18 dairies in the area—those five handle almost 70% of the fluid milk. The Chan- nel Islands breeders are the ones who promoted the sale of 2% milk when the demand for, special high test milk dropped sharply a few years ago and they are afraid an increased differential which would deprive the dairies of the extra revenue might cost them the pre- ferred position they now enjoy. They are willing to forego the add- ed income in order to retain—or gain quotas. Eighty out of 85 new shippers who came into the Toron- to market last year were high test producers. The serious development at the hearing, though, was the applica- tion of the Channel Islands Breeds Milk Producers Association for authorization from the Milk Indus- try Board to represent shippers of special milk in Ontario for the purpose of collective bargaining. The Holstein Friesian Association immediately reserved the right to similar action if the, application is granted. If the breed associations become the bargaining agents it will spell the doom of the League and, as we see .it, will leave pro- ducers in the position of compet- ing directly with one another for the fluid milk market. What would happen to prices to producers un- der those conditions? * * * Today's Tidbit: Quality produce stimulates "'demand, so keep the milk clean. The human heart rests about eight -tenths of a second between each contraction. HURON COUNTY FEDERATION -NEWS . By CARL HEMINGWAY The Dairy Co-ordinating Board and the Dairy Princess competition chairman, in particular, are to be congratulated on successful ar- rangements made for their annual contest at the Clinton Spring Fair. Appreciation is expressed to all the girls taking part. All of you did a creditable job and, of course, special compliments to the winner, Miss Wilma Dale, of RR 1, Clinton. Best wishes will accompany her for the same success at the C.N.E. At a special meeting June 5 of the Board of Directors of Farm- ers' Allied Meat Enterprises, the share sales campaign was review, - ed. Up until the end of May, close to $400,000 has been sold. This is perhaps a record of share capital raised by a new Co-operative in the first four months. It is gratify- ing to have such strong support from livestock producers and is even more encouraging when we consider that only a comparative- ly small percentage of the produc- ers, as yet, have been canvassed. With something over 3,500 mem- bers, many counties now have en- ough members to organize county committees and a basis for these is being drawn up. While all this is encouraging, we must not rest on our laurels. It is forecast that by mid -1962, the marketings of both hogs and cattle will be considerably higher, thus it is desirable that all pos- sible competition be created in the market place. With our objec- tive of two million in share capi- tal accomplished by November 30, we could expect to have our "FAME" plants in operation by late summer of 1962. In a poll of the members of the board of directors, it was inter- esting to find that the main enter- prise of nine was milk production, of seven, was beef production; and only .two whose main enterprise was hog production. 'The board was about equally divided between hogs and poultry for their second farm enterprise, with a few hav- ing all three; one member had sheep raising as his second enter- prise. Since there are so many beef producersand dairymen on' the board, it would indicate that there is greater dissatisfaction with the marketing of cattle than the other livestock. It was reported that a producer shipped through a drover a.few steers to Toronto (over 100 miles). They sold for 38c, graded blue Seaforth Cubs Win At St. Marys The Seaforth Cubs attended the Perth District Annual Cuboree at Bimini Camp, St. Marys, on Satur- day. In the competitions on all their Cub work they received the mark of 77.1%. The winning Pack, Second St.' Marys, received 77.2%. In individual scoring; from a to- tal of 110, the winners in the sec- ond Star tests were Doug Dal- rymple and David Brady, tied, with 105. In the Third Star tests Garry Montgomery 103, Stewart Carter and Wayne Loney 102. Of the Seaforth Pack attending, 32 have had only six months' train- ing; the remaining four, one to two years, in comparison with the oth- er six Packs consisting of boys with one to four years' training. In keeping with the rules set down by the Boys Scouts Associa- tion that a Pack should consist of 36 boys, one reopening in Septem- ber there will be room for only four boys‘ At present there is a waiting list of 42 boys, age 8 years; 25 boys, age 9 years; 14 t oyy age 10 years—a total of 82. In view of the splendid interest shown by the boys during the past six months, it is to be hoped that there will be other volunteers as leaders, in order that the Cub pro- gram can be continued in the fall, officials said.
