Ask Freight Subsidy Ontario Federation of Agri- culture members directed the OFA to renew its efforts to get a feed freight subsidy on On- tario feed grains moving east of the commercial production area. The direction came out of a regular members meeting held in Toronto on August 29. The OFA stand on this sub- sidy is based on the disadvant- age Ontario feed grains have A in competition with western Canada feed grains moving in- to eastern Canada. The western grains have been given a freight subsidy since the, last world war. Generally speak in g, the amount of the subsidy increas- es as the grain moves east of the Lakehead. In Ontario the subsidy is $5.00 per ton from the Bay Ports to eastern On- tario. It increases as the grain moves east of the Montreal freight rate zone. As this ac- tion tends to reduce the cost of the western feed grains to live- " stock feeders, Ontario feed a r a a' 'blue coal' Champion Stove & Furnace Oil WILLIS DUNDAS DUNDAS and LONEY Phone 573 or 138 Arnold STINNISSEN Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R. 5 - SEAFORTH and FUEL OIL Wm.

OFA members feel that the present feed grain supply situa- tion will create a need for On- tario feed grains east of the commercial production areas, and they should not be at a price disadvantage on the mar- ket. John Moles, manager •of Hy- dro's farm sales department, reviewed the new rates estab- lished for farmers. Mr. Moles said the 134,000 of their cus- tomers are presently on 35 amp breaker service. He expepted that 50 per cent of these would remain on this service, but the others would likely go on the new 100 amp service in the future. He said that the rates offer- ed by Hydro will not cause any increase in rate to the 134,000 farmers now on 35 amp service. He noted however that t h e 5,000 farmers now on 50 amp service may see a decrease in their rates under the revised system. He warned farmers that many farm buildings were not wired properly to handle the electrical load required by the owner's appliances and motors. Electrical wiring systems should be checked and improved as needed. Several reports were present- ed to OFA members during the morning session, including re- ports of the International Fed- eration of Agricultural Produc- ers meeting in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meet- ing in Prince Edward Island. Wilfred Keays, chairman of the Milk Producers Co-ordinat- ing Board, reported on the pro- gress of the milk producer groups in establishing orderly marketing. He said that the Whole Milk League had com- pleted their petition for a vote on a marketing plan, and that the Concentrated Milk Produc- ers, Cream Producers and Cheese Producers were starting a petition for a plan covering their product.

W, A, Goodfellow, last week _sounded the death knell of the present' milk mar- keting system in the province. The minister didn't use as strong words as those speaking to the semi-annual meeting of the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers but when he suggest- ed that many people have been guilty of short term thinking and that the dairy industry is five years late in attempting to find long-term solutions to its problems, that's what it amounts to. Mr. Goodfellow said he wasn't criticizing the present structure of the four milk producer groups -- fluid, cream, cheese and concentrated -each going its own way and trying to solve its own problems. He thought they were victims of their own organizational structure which prevents them from taking any really united action. But the industry needs united action now because all sections are dependent on one another, whe- ther they all realize it or not. And many of the policies adopt- ed by one group or another are often detrimental to the best interests of another and there- fore to the whole industry. Referringto the two petitions currently b e i n g circulated among milk producers -one by the Whole Milk League asking whether producers want a vote on a marketing plan with ag- ency powers and the other ask- ing whether farmers want a vote on a marketing plan for manufacturing milk -Mr. Good- fellow said: "With two market- ing organizations with more ef- fective powers of marketing, it is quite possible that the indus- try would be split right down the centre." This would be a far cry from the mild animosi- ties of the past and would not help to sell milk. Neither is there any place for the breed seuffiings of recent months which promote dissension in milk marketing. Every farmer is entitled to 'make up his own mind about the breed of cow he wants to milk, but none should enjoy special privileges. We have said before in this column that we couldn't see how two plans would be in the best interests of producers and Mr. Goodfellow was very em- phatic in saying "There is no place for two milk marketing plans in Ontario." If the fluid producers had developed a plan several years ago they might now be in a position to expand it to include the whole indus- try. However, they hadn't and it is now too late to develop,a separate plan, so the minister asked that consideration be given immediately to bringing the two proposed plans together in a way which will suit all groups. This is not going to be easy --or perhaps even pos- sible -because we can't visual- ize any plan that will satisfy all producers -of anything. Nevertheless, we cannot but agree with the minister of agri- culture that there should be only one producers' board run- ning the marketing affairs of the dairy farmers of Ontario, At the beginning it would prob- ably have four working com- mittees representing the pres- ent our groups but as condi- tions change so would the set- up of marketing board evolve. Mr. Goodfellow suggested a five-year plan. It might be five years before .a marketing plan could attain its full effective- ness but he suggested that producers should not even be waiting fiive months to make.a start on its development. * * * Today's Tidbit: It was a young man in grade 7 who Said on an exam that Milton wrote "Paradise Lost" but after his wife died he wrote "Paradise Regained."

HURON FEDERATION NEWS By CARL HEMINGWAY After a comparatively quiet couple of months as far as f arm organization meetings were concerned, notices of an- nual meetings are again being received. The first to arrive is notice of the Ontario Wheat Produc- ers annual meeting to be held at the Royal York Hotel, To- ronto, September 27. This meeting is open to all Ontario wheat producers. This is the producer's opportunity to voice his opinions. Perhaps there is something you have a suggestion for some improvement. The annual meeting is the place to have these things brought before the producers for discussion and action. Too many times farm- ers mention these problems to their neighbors but fail to re- port to the county secretary or one of the delegates with the result that the idea never gets to the Wheat Board and no ac- tion is taken. The organiza- tion will only serve you best when it receives your sugges- tions and criticisms at the an- nual meeting. Please drop a line to Huron County Wheat Producers, Box 310, Clinton, be- fore September 15, if you have a suggestion to make. A meeting of the OFA mem- bers was held August 29. The meeting approved the recom- mendations of the grain meet- ing called by the Board of Gov- ernors on July 18, which has already resulted in some con- siderable quantities of U.S. oats being imported into On- tario. There was no definite report on the egg marketing plan, but we were given to understand that a plan similar to the hog marketing plan was being de- veloped. The Milk Producers told us that a petition for a vote on the marketing of fluid milk was being circulated and that a pe- tition for a vote on a market- ing plan for the shippers of manufacturing milk, cream and cheese producers would also be circulated shortly. John Moles, df Ontario Hy- dro, outlined very briefly the new farm service plan and told us that speakers would be avail- able for farm meetings on re - FALL FAIR DATES Arthur Sept. 27, 28 Ayton Sept. 15, 16 Bayfield Sept. 27, 28 Blyth Sept. 19, 20 Brussels ....

A resolution was introduced by the Properties Department, regarding expropriation of farm land. It was their intention that the right to grant power of expropriation should rest in the hands of elected represent- atives rather than in the hands of civil servants. This matter will be brought before the an- nual meeting for approval. Cattle Entries High, Western Western Fair's livestock show gets under way September 8 at Queen's Park, London.
