Winter Short Course at O.A.C.
On Monday evening a meet-
ing of the Huron' County Dairy
Co-ordinating Board was held
in the .Federation .office, It
took the form of a Farm Forum
discussion. Unfortunately the
weather was bad for driving
and the attendance was small,
'ant the group did arrive at
some recommendations,
All agreed that that an over-
all marketing plan for milk was
necessary.
To deal with the quota pro-
blem it was agreed that present
production should be frozen.
Since there is a fairly rapid
change in farms it was felt
that over-production could soon
be overcome if production quo-
tas were not saleable or trans:,
ferable. A. new producer would
have to apply for a production
quota and then wait his turn
before he could become a ship-
per.
In controlling surplus _a very
small minority suggested an
equalization deduction for the
purpose of subsidizing surplus
into export but the majority
felt that production quotas
would take care of the problem.
.At the meeting of Ontario
Poultry Producers there was
considerable discussion rather
heated at times, as to the
method of marketing eggs. A
small group seemed quite de-
termined to prevent the intro-
duction of a Producer Market-
ing Agency for eggs, How-
ever when one of the Ontario
directors suggested that if the
producers present were satisfied
with present egg marketing we
might as well all go borne and
forget about selling our pro-
duet. If we were not satisfied
then we should take the neces-
sary steps to formulate a plan,
As a result a motion was pas-
sed instructing the committee
to draw up a petition, to be
circulated immediately, request-
ing •that the Farm Products
Marketing Board draft en Egg
Marketing Plan on which a
vote will be taken as soon as
possible. ,

Plan to Rebuild
Sifto Plant ..May
Co0 $1,900,000
Walter R. Lawson, vice-pros',
dent and general manager of
Sifto Salt Limited, 'today an-
nounced plans for a $1,900000
rebuilding project at the comp-
any's fine-salt evaporating plant
at oclericli.
Preliminary work on the pro-
ject will begin immediately with
actual construction scheduled
to start in the spring of 1962.
Present plans call for comple-
tion of the project in the spring
of 1963. The new plant, which
will make possible future in-
creases in Sif to's salt-produc-
ing capacity, will be erected
on property adjacent to the
present evapbrating plant and
Will be completed without in-
terruption of fine-salt produc-
tion at Goderich.
A subsidiary of Dominion Tar
& Chemical co,. Ltd., Sifto op-
erates salt evaporation plants
at Unity, Sask., Sarnia, and
Amherst, N,S, It also hes in
full production at Goderich the
large rock-salt mine which was
opened in 1959. When additions
now in progress are completed
ers' Allied Meat Enterprises be-
came a member of the O.F.A.
and an invitation was extended
to FAME to present an outline
of their program to the next
members meeting in order 'that
informed support could be given
to this important project.
Explanation of the steps tak-
en to implement the resolu-
tion of the O.F.A. for a farm
machinery act in Ontario was
given. The following sugges-
tions were presented to the
agricultural committee of the
Ontario government by the
O.F.A. with the support of the
Ontario Farmers Union.
1. To provide •availablility of
repairs and service to purchas-
ers of farm machinery.
2. To provide for the control
and sale of farm machinery and
parts in Ontario.
3. To provide for the testing
of farm machinery sold in On-
tario.
4. To provide for the publish-
ing of test reports, particularly
on machines of the future.
5. To provide for an inspec-
tion service under a farm mach-
inery board,

Kitchener Yards
Sold to Group
Farmer-Owned
.The sale. .of the province's
largest privately awned stock-
yards was announced Dec. 5.
The Kitchener Stockyards,
started some 12 years ago by
Frank J, Sterner, Kitchener,
has been sold to a group (as
yet unnamed) of Waterloo
County farmers. A board of
directors will be announced at
a later date.
The Kitchener Stockyards has
grown to be the largest live-
stock auction market in On-
tario, with a giant sale every
Thursday, and in addition, it is
the marketing yard for the On-
tario Hog Producers Co-opera-
tive and western stocker and
feeder cattle are also sold by
private trade every week day.
Total dollar value of all live-
stock handled last year amount-
ed to almost $30,000,000.
The Kitchener Stockyards is
one of the few remaining mar-
kets for horses in the province,
and sells an average of 100
each week.
Its large barns hold over
3,000 head of cattle, 2,500 hogs,
and 150 horses and are located
on 70 acres of land on the
main line of the CNR, on the
northern limits of Kitchener.
This market is supported by
farmers, packing houses, and
livestock men from all parts of
the province. Livestock is also
consigned from western and
eastern Canada.
The Thursday sale attracts
upwards of 3,000 people, and
some 80 persons are employed
to handle the day's volume.
Walter Sterner, who will
manage •the business, emphasiz-
ed that business will carry on
as usual, and with the same

the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege is an ,oPPOrtnnity for the
farmers of the province to Iv«
ing themselves upto-date on
the latest techniques of Agri.-
culture, Each year more than
500 farmers meet at the col-
lege to discuss their problems

The course will be held from
January 2 to January 5, and
will offer instruction in .agri-
cultural mechanics, including
farm shop, welding; machinery
repairs, and practical informa-
tion on farm buildings, rural
electrification, machinery and
at this large rock salt producer,
this mining operation will rep-
resent an investment of ap-
proximately $9,000,000.
Mr. Lawson explained that
the main sections of the Gode-
rich fine-salt plant had been
built in the early 1900'.s, but
that the steam-producing and
evaporating plant had been re-
newed in the late 1930'a. These
units will be retained in the
new plant, but the other facili-
ties for bulk storage, proces-
sing, packing, warehousing and
shipping will be completely re-
built, In addition; a new de-
velopment laboratory and a
new office will be constructed.
"These new facilities will en-
able us to provide better ser-
vice to the trade," Mr. Lawson
said. "We expect, for example,
to reduce present truck loading
time by a very substantial
amount."
