Emmett Hall, of Saskatoon, has just completed the Hall commission Report on the subject for the federal government, *and was to have spoken?te the ° council's annual meeting' in Winnipeg last week. The report was not released , lit time, however But MacMillan expects the council to haVe much to say about the conclusions in the report ' when it is made public: "We could do a great deal of work on the • report, ' evaluating its recommendations and estimating their impact on producers- and -elevator companies." -MacMillan expects the Hall - Report to recommend the gradual abandonment of certain rail branch lines, and he feels the industry. ' should 7pro.,ide the government with an impact study to accompany the report. Thei coundil has already completed a study on the possible benefits of using the port of Churchill, Man., for grain shipments. MacMillan says the results are likely to be unpopular on some fronts. "There has to be a pretty sizabel, advantage to producers," he says, "to justify overcoming the logistic problem of using a jit hich is only open 70-80 days a year." MacMillan also expects the council to h ave some input on the important subject of world grain . reserves one. of the themes chosen for last week's annual meetings (April 5-6). He says that, generally, the membership was extremely leery of se tting •up any international 'system of grain reserves.' "The negative tones are historically based. Any time we've entered into international wheat agreements, the producer countries have tended, to lose out. The great fear is that the reserves are always going to be there sitting in the window for the buyer to sm.'? A former Seaforth resident K. Bruce MacMillan. has been • appointed chairman of the - Canada Grains Council. A former geeeral manager of Topnotch Feeds Limited, Mr. MacMillan was moved from Seaforth twelve years ago when he was selected by the parent company James Richardson & Sons Ltd. for increased responsibilities in winnipeg.

HoSpital and headed the campaign committee, that, raised $200,000 to m ake possible the new hospital. The following story is from The Financial Post. The Federal government can expect to hear frequently from the grain industry while K. Bruce MacMillan is chairman of the Canada Grains Council. MacMillan, president of Pioneer. Grain • Co., Ltd., • Winnipeg, the grain-handli.ng arm of James Richardson & Sons Ltd., says the council ought to,.be more aggressive in publilcizing the results of some of its more controversial studies. "There tends to be a,,certain hesitation to get into areas of controversy, but we should lay • the facts on the table, get them , out into the open," he says. Forum debates MacMillan, 53, was appointed 'last week by the federal government to- 'succeed Saskatchewan farmer , Evtrett Murphy as chairman of the eight-year-old council originally, created as a forum for all segments of the Canadian grain industry. - One emotional debate in which , MacMillan hopes the council will take ,an active part is the evaluation of the Canadian grain Obituaries 6 MRS.

Burial waxiirStaffaSemetery: OFA calls for energy cutting research category. The• brief ouili ned the following possible research projects: a) Research priorities should be set on reducing energy in crop drying and sto4pg, reduced tillage practices, efficient utilfza- tion of crop residues for feed or fuel and livestock housing• systems. b) A large potential energy saver is better utilization of naturally occurring fertilizers -- livestock manure and sewage sludge.. Chemical fertilizers, requiring high energy inputs in their production, will become more expenisve as energy costs rise. Government research action now in the area of efficient manure and sewage utilization will be an important part of keeping Ontario farmers competitive in the future. c) Sewage sludge deserves special comment. It represents a tremendous fertility resource that is now, by and, large, being wasted. Priority must be given to removing, or eliminating at source, any harmful heavy metals in it, and to develop efficient distribution and handling methods for it." Agriculture uses a great ideal of energy. With rising prices and possible future shortages, it .is essential that we find ways to cut down on energy use in food production. Research into, this basic problem should be a top priority of the Ontario Government", said Peter Hannam, President of the 'Ontario Federation of Agriculture, presenting OFA's annual brief to the Ontario Cabinet today. "Only a small fraction (less than 1%) of the solar energy that reaches crop plants is utilized in the manufacture of substances that can serve as food or feed. It is perhaps the, most fundamental problem of agricultural research to increase this fraction. This research must be immediately accelerated", Mr. Hannam said. `OFA's brief also recommends greatly expanded research to lower fossil fuel requirements in farm production. We suggest that $10 million of the Provincial Lottery funds be allocated to food production related research annually for the next ten years. This money is supposed to be used for health-related environmental projects and food production certainly falls in that Price effects McMillan says international grain reserves may have a stabilizing influence- on prices, but that it is nearly always felt at the lower end of the price range — to the disadvantage of the exporting country. Producers are worried about who would pay 'for the lar ge stocks of grain— the farmer, the taxpayer? Council membership is mainly composed -of grain handling and elevator companies, the railways, trading exchanges and grain ' industry associations. The three Prairie wheat pools have resigned their membership, but MacMillan says the door is open if they want to come back. "They should be in because it is not right that 35%„ of the industry is represented and 65%,, is not. We would welcome them. ,T • • • • • • •, • • - 000 • • • • Director !!!! usiness '• • • • • ▪ • • • GRAVEL • • • • • PHOTOGRAPHY. /—"ANTIQUES DECORATING m Gravest Wallpaper & Paint B Featuring m8e676 Canadian & Imported Wall Coverings \ 527-0550 Seaforth • • • Crushed & Wash Sand & Gravel.
