The Bayfield Bulletin, 1967-02-16, Page 8by ART ELLIOTT Page ', The Bayfield Bulletin, February 16, 1967 DECORATING "Home" Matagami.Quebec Very glad to be back at the "old stand" after a three-month stint in the bush of Northern Ontario and Quebec, with a pack sack full of bushy tales and the cast iron constitution required to dive back into the publishing business. CLINTON—Huron beef pro- ducers will be surveyed by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture to determine whether there is support for a provincial beef marketing plan. The federation agreed upon the survey after rejecting a request yesterday by Malcolm Davidson, of Brucefield, that it go ahead on its own initia- tive and recommend a mar- keting plan to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Various farm organizations have presented stands on the proposed plan, county federa- tion president Charles Thomas, of Brussels, said last night, but it is disputed SPECIAL whether they speak for the majority of beef producers. "Who represents the beef producers?" he said. "That's the real issue." At the last meeting of the provincial federation in To- ronto, Mr. Thomas said, a delegation from the Ontario Beef Improvement Associa- tion expressed objection to the plan. But he said the as- sociation was organized by the provincial government and has been accused in some quarters with representing only the larger beef produc- ers. Mr. Davidson is a member of a six-man committee ap- pointed last fall by Ontario Agricultural Minister William Stewart, to suggest ways of bringing farm incomes up to par with the rest of the com• munity. Eimer Hunter, of Goderich, first vice-president of the county federation, joined Mr. Thomas in urging a grass- roots poll among the county's 3,500 beef producers before taking a stand on the market- inb The federation unan imously agreed. Forty-four beef producers in each township are to be ques- tioned about the plan, in a sample survey. The poll is to be started immediately. Ii the marketing plan is adopted, it would mean that all cattle—both beef and dairy breeds—being sold for meat would be disposed of through open auctions, rather than be- in, sold directly to packers under contract or being taken to the plants to be sold for a price negotiated on the spot as is sometimes the case now. 'A report by the Centennial Commission says that: "More than ever the whole environment of landscape and cityscape should be look- ed upon as perhaps man's largest and most noble work and treated accordingly, be- cause as for all peoples, )ast and present, the mark of Jur progress as a nation will De judged in 1967 by the achievement of our commun- ities."
