Only last week, this corner suggested many agricultur- alists have forgotten how because so few put their thoughts on .paper. Yet, six letters count 'em, Mr, Editor —, six letters arrived this week and five of them were in support of the column written last week explaining why farmers should support marketing boards. One from the' Stratford area' said'I should have explained just what the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board is so that consumers have an idea that farm marketing boards are not a power unto themselves. Another from the Kincardine area, up in Bruce County. and a third from the Marmora area in eastern Ontario, said I shoiild have explained that only five boards in Ontario are subject to any quota system of production limits. Too many Consumers, said these letters, hasp .- an idea that these farm marketing boards set production quotas which, in turn, keep prices at an artificially high level. But, said the writers, only five boards have this'power and those boards found, it necessary to establish a quota system to keep a steady stream of quality products getting to the con- sumers. Milk, for instance,' falls into this category along with to- bacco, eggs and broiler chickens, And nobody could possibly suggest that the Ontario Milk Marketing Board has not brought order out of chaos in the dairy business, "Now," said a Drayton letter, "it is up to the federal gov- ernment to come up with a-long*-term dairy policy so that we can plan properly for two Or threeyears. ". And a cash crop farmer from the Dresden area simply scribbled "thanks'. on a piece of paper, signed it, and mail- ed it. Finally, a beef farmer from the Brighton area south of Highway 401 down near Bowmanville said "I'll he strung up by my thumbs if you mention my name but I think the beef industry would surely benefit if a marketing board were organized for us." He was, of course; referring to the fact that beef farmers across Ontario have vehemently oppo'sed 'the formation of a marketing hoard through the Ontario Cattlemen's Asso- Letters are appreciated by Bob Trotter, Eldale Rd .

To quote big Jim Boynton, manager of the Ontario-Com- modity .council`_ A farmer should be able' to anticipate a reasonable return on his capital investment for the risks he takes. If this return is' not provided then the drift from the farm and into industry or commerce will likely.accelerate. "Without an internal food'production and processing sys- tem, Ontario — and Canadian — consumers will be denied the .benefits of price competition between domestic and imported products," says Mr. Boynton. "As world food sup- plies continue to decline, the prices demanded may well be- cOme a secondary situation, "Farm products marketing boards, provide a measure of protection for Ontario producers and directly benefit the consumer both in short term and the long," , Of course, you say, .Jim Boynton will say such things. He's hired by the Ontario Commodity Council to make these statements. • It doesn't matter where the statements come from if they are true, Ontario people. need a viable agricultural com- munity more than the agricultural community needs them. - Without successful farmers, more than 40 per cent of the gross national productin this country would disappear. When a commodity cannot be produced in Ontario — such as coffee — or.when an industry is allowed to die -- such as the sUgarbeet industry — look what happens to the prices of those products. Somebody else calls the tune and we all know what,is happening to the price of coffee and what hap- pened a few months ago to the price of sugar. Who; in his right mind, would want the same thieg to hap pen to all farm products? Not this horse lover, that's for sure. • Ttisday night the OW cOivc meetillg4 whiPP l;leterMine the futtire growth of the %village 9f Hensall Will be held at the ' Hensall Public Schoel Mart.ing'at eight o'clock.
