I wish June Menzies,• vice---chairman of the antl-,inflation
board, would spend less time , trying to emulate. Beryl
Plumptre by also taking potshots at farm organilations
and- marketing boards. More than a year ago, the Ontario
government. agreed that price-setting marketing boards
would adhere• to the spirit of the MB guidelines. A month
ago, Mrs. Menzies met with senior marketing board of-
ficials and .leaders in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food. ' ,AktP
She spelled qu ri d terms to those people. In fact, she
asked fluid mil andehicken boards to check their costs.
Mrs., Menzies i not ask those two boards to scrap their
pre§ent pricetsetting • policies. She couldnt. It turned out
that" both boards were setting prices below . the ALB
guidelines. • -
For hog producers, I wish for' a return to prices of a
year ago of $77 a himdredweight, not the loWs. of $52 now.
For' milk producers, an increase in quota, especially for
those who spent thousands in recent years expecting that
increase, not the decrease thrown at them by the federal
government last spring.
For corn growers, much-enlafted storage facilities in
Ontario 'so they can 'send their crops to market when
„ prices are better.
I wish the provincial, gnvernment would pay more at-
tention to a recent priVate members' bill whith, would
