Growers are leading the way by conducting their vote on a grain corn marketing plan. The ballots, are presently being mailed to the growers and are required back by February 5.

Already the strength of the organization has been sufficient to obtain much better freight rates for the movement of the crop to eastern points. This will enable our growers to coxa- pate with imported corn from the US. Since the US government subsidizes their corn growers and offers preferred freightt rates a strong Ontario organ- ization might well be able to have import quotas put into effect as is already applied to other grains. Producers are well advised to study this pro- gram and cast their ballot ac- cordingly. Egg Marketing Just today I received copies of the petition to be circulated by the egg producers request- ing a marketing plan for eggs. This requires the signature of at least 15 percent of the On- tario egg producers (before a plan can be presented to the Farm Products Marketing Bo- ard for approval, after which a vote will be conducted.

(Bp JACK Q..DIF,T RI CH) The Silver Dollar Series Canada's first silver diollar was st:.xiok in 1935 to contniexu- orate the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V and Queen Mary, The silver dollar was issued each Year thereafter until. 1939 when it was Suspended because of the war effort.. After the war they were continued in 1945, and the sliver dollar hap been struck each year since then. The beautifully designed and splendidly executed coins are models of xnedaUic art and a type set is within the means of every collector. There is a rumor that the 1958 Totem PoI silver is Pole sr, r d'ollr ar scarce and valuable, but this is not true. Over 3,000,000 of them were minted. This completes the series on Canadian coins, I hope readers appreciated reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them . Thank You J. C. D. many p com laints from produc- ers regarding the marketing of their eggs, This is their oppor- tunity to have something done about it. The resulting plan will be just as good and suc- cessful. as producers want it to be. If producers aren't interest- ed enough to put forth some effort there will be no improve- ment in the egg producing in- dustry. Cattle Movements Beef producers are also mov- ing to make some improvement in their ,industry. At present no marketing plan is being considered but they are making a real effort to require the use of bills of lading in the movement of cattle. There have been several instances of real prolems arising in establishing ownership of cattle in case of accidents in trucking. Ft is only a reasonable precaution that the owner should have a receipt When his cattle are loaded for shipment. There is room for a great deal of study and distribution of information on feeding and breeding of cattle to best pl- ease the consumer. The collec- tion of the small • fee through the use of the bill of lading could be quite helpful to the industry. Which Comes First? In closing I would like to put in a comment for your careful consideration. In a rec- ent radio broadcast the idea was put forth that farmers sh- ould be careful lest through their organizations they make farming profitable because lar- ge corporations would then take over. I would suggest that it is when incomes are low that farmers are forcedeto look for other employment and sell out to corporations. :•.•.,mac. • He will have 2,l84paydays to save for his retirement His first pay cheque --- the first of many more to come!

Mr. Bradley has al- ready served one term as Huron County director, during 1961. The major proposal brought before the meeting was the re- vision of the Breeding Associa- tion's constitution which would allot Huron County three direc- tors rather tihan one. The meeting recorded approval of the constitution as revised, Reports were given by Waterloo Cattle Breeding As- sociation president, Donald S'huh; manager, Roy G. Snyder; veterinarian, Dr. John Fischer, and supervisors, Wilbur Shantz and Don Fortune. Others :in attendance who addressed the meeting were: Harvey Ackert, director for Bruce County; Gordon Bell, Holstein -Friesian district fieldinan; Russel Brad - win, dairy fieldman, and Don Grieve, assistant agricultural representative. Doug Miles, agricultural rep- resentative for Huron introduc- ed the guest speaker, Dr. D. N. Huntley, director, • Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario. Dr. Huntley spoke of the effect of research on agriculture, us- ing as examples the develop- ment of hybrid corn and poul- try. He said that progress is spreading became we are now able to push nature around, and that manipulation of na- ture is inevitable in all phases of agriculture. He was thank- ed by Tom Consitt, Waterloo Cattle Breeding, Association, Clinton office supervisor. A program of slides was shown, illustrating various phases of the artificial insemin- ation; business, The Waterloo Cattle Breed- ing Association has, had a very successful year in Huron Coun- ty during 1961. The Clinton branch serving the bulk of the county had an increase in busi- ness of over ten percent. 4-H Program Gets Scrutiny By Manitoba Leaders The development of district programs to retain the interest of senior 4-H members was one of the main topics discussed by Manitoba's leaders at 35 meet- ings held recently throughout the province. Extension representatives and local leaders agreed that club programs should be of interest to all age groups from 10 to 21 years. More inter -club soc- ial and competitive e v en:ts were suggested as activities through which the participation of older members could be maintained. According to Garry Work- man, Provincial. 4-Hcial' t Se is p , the purpose of the meetings was to provide inspiration and pro-' gram guidance along with op- portunities for the leaders to share their opinions on future 4-H programs. Over 1,300 lead- ers attended the meetings. The need for greater unifor- mity of judging standards for demonstrations, displays and public speaking competitions was one of the suggestions made by the leaders. A further suggestion was a Manitoba - wide tour to replace the trad- itional out -of -province award trips to leaders. It was felt that much could be learned' fr- om tours of this nature to st- udy the economy and scenic at- tractions within the provincial boundaries. Mr. Workman was well pl- eased with the outcome of the meetings and stated that 75 percent of the leaders in the province took part. A summary of the major topics of discus- sion will be compiled and for- warded later to all leaders and extension representatives.

It can affect milk and beef production and breed- ing efficiency and may be link- ed with a phosphorus deficiency whichalso affects breeding. Dr. Ma'plesden stressed that pre- vention of disease must be car- ried through all management levels,animal, plant and soil. Meat Sales By Unscrupulous Few "Farmers have been the in- nocent victims of unscrupulous indrividuals engaged in illegal meat• traffic," president W, G. Tilden, Harriston, of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture said today. "When a farmer has dispos- ed of dead animals to dealers licensed under the Dead Anim- als Disposal Act, he has carried out his responsibility as the primary producer of livestock. In such cases, farmers consid ered the meat from these dead animals would not be used for human consumption. It has been a great shook to me to find such is not always the case," he said. Ontario farmers deplore the facts recently brought to light in the investigation of unfit meat according to Mr, Tilden and hope steps will be taken immediately to prevent any re- currence. Farmers are produc- ing excellent livestock .in On- tario and 80 percent of the meat sold is processed in plants approved by the Health of An- imals Division of the Canada Department of Agriculture .

Thomas B, Macaulay, (1869- 1942). More than 90 percent of Holstein cattle in Canada are descendants of Macaulay's Mount Victoria herd at Hudson Heights, Que.

All this was contrived by and made advantageous to only a very few unscrupulous persons having no regard' whatsoever for the unsuspecting consumer, Mel Tebbutt, president of the Ontario Farmers Union: stated in Varna, on January 11. A great deal of laxity has , existed in our governments, d'e= partments of agriculture, food is end and drug administrations, tri s, a tin services of both inspection our federal and Ontario govern- ments, he said, to have allowed the main component of our everyday diet to be dragged into such a degrading situation. It was not for lack of men- tion en-tion that this illicit business notchecked, he said,as was d, far back as 1954 governments have been asked by farm unions to set up a board of livestock commissioners, which could have acted as a regula- tory force in controlling the sale of meat unsuitable for•hu- man consumption. Further to that, we now find that the Canadian Renderers Associa- tion have said, "that they 'have been trying for ten years to convince the federal agricultur- al and food and drug adminis- trators that action was need- ed," he said, "there were prob- ably others giving the same warning, but receiving abso- lutely no response." lvl r. Tebbutt said he believed that, "due to the enormity of the illegal meat movements, it is not difficult to estimate the damage to markets, from a consumers standlpaint as well as the general effect on market pates. We ha e often won - (Wed 'why or how some res- taurants .cowl4 serve such d', tasteful meat. arid' many pule have experienceifd 'this they would be wondering What happened to the livestock in- dustry." The OFU leader concluded by saying "This was .one time the con'sluner paid through the nose, through no fault .of the farmer, but 'because of a ' coni- binat'ion of greed on one hand and carelessness on the other." 0 INSECTS MAY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE IIT STORED GRAIN Check stored grain regularly this winter for insect damage, especially if it went into the bins With a high moisture con- tent, Such is the suggestion of Harold Goble, Ontario Agri- cultural gri- 1 r ou t+u al College entomologist, He states that timely :mitiga- tion rtaon will kill the insects before they have a chance to build up.
