To this.end; the executive had decided that the person winning first prize in any one year would not be eligible to receive. first prize in the following year. "Aa an example ' of what ,might happen," he said, "let us suppose that the person winning first prize this year, enters the competition next year, and again, in the 'opin- ion of the judges, merits first prize. The • new rule would now come into; operation, and the first prize would be awarded to the per- son in second place, while the com- petitor who bad taken first place twice in a•row would be given sec- ond prize. In this way, the first prize would be handed around, thus encouraging competition.. The executive proposed that the new rule come into force immed- iately, but desired the meznbereh to vote on the proposal The re - suit .of the vote showed unanimous approval of the executive's sugg gestion.

The factor which has aroused most concernis that the votes of producers who do not trouble to east a ballot for various reasons are counted as votes in op- position to the plan" The brief pointed to the nar- rowing gap between costs and.pric- es: since .1951 in the farm economy. Said the brief: "This is no new statement. ];t has been repeated on every public ` pi'atform in the country by speakers of every pol- itical hue and economic persuasion, Moderate economists say that it is to be expected; less orthodox thinkers deplore it; most agree that something must be done about it, The Ontario.Fed'eration of Ag- riculture believes that something can `be done and that the solution involves, close co-operation be- tween the government and the farm organization." The brief made a wide range of recommendations including mat- ters relating to farm credit, land expropriation, compulsory motor vehicle insurance and government market research. berry; Ralph Foster, RR 3, Goder- ich, Ashfield; Bob Grasby, RR 4, Brussels, Morris; Tom Webster,.
