OFU Secretary Blasts Middle Man's Tactics District meetings held across the province last week by the Ontario Farmers Union indic- ate an increased interest by farmer members in all phases of agriculture. Much better attendance was experienced than was anticipated. The leaders • of the move- men( believe the farmer is more ready to be organized now into one over-all general organization than ever. before, J. F. Gamble, OFU secretary - treasurer said, after attending a number of the meetings. Mr. Gamble said milk mark- eting was one item of gener- al interest across the province and the new price program announced has not enjoyed much support from protllitcers to date. Some producers have already received less for their milk from the processors since the new price program Was an- nounced. "HoweVer," he said, "while the farmer receives less, the processor holds firmly to a good margin of profit, Too Mitch milk is being bought at second and third grade prices and sold in the bottled trade as NO. 1," "With the demand for cheese greater than supply," he added, "the pride for cheese milk remains ins niudh• below the cost of productien." bue to the changes taking place arid rumors Of further" develop- tiieiits many farmers have al- ready concluded that this year will finish their dairy opera- . tioliS.

Too many marketing organizations today, are taking too much money which is not being used for the purpose intended, he said. Some of these groups have large bank accounts, large sums invested in bonds, etc. This, he said, may be well for the -organization that is in this position, for the banks and others that have the use of this money, but the farmer gave these fees expecting ahem to be used to market his pro- duct and help him realize a fair and just price, so that he may also put some aside for a rainy day.

Attendance last month was 96.27 percent. More caretakers will be needed at the collegiate soon. The inspector's report on his last visit was that the school was not clean.

Lions presideavt Herb Bridle was in, charge of the business part of the meeting and Introdiuction of guests. Guest speaker John A. Stew- art, Mize, Craig, told of the problems encountered by :his firm while trying to gain an extra year in the manipula- tion of oat seed. The speaker is the junior partner in the -Alex M. Stew- art and Son Ltd., firm of far - mere and seed developers(. Hie company are the founders of the popular Russell oats, now widely used in this pant of On- tario. The Stewart firm's new oat seed was so much in demand for 1961 spring seedling that they wanted to gain an extra year of multiplication. They, were advised and later worked through: the Rockefeller Foun- dation, to go to a valley in south-west Mexico along the Gitif oa California where there was tremendous. growth.' Acarding to Mr. Stewart, this valley has the most fertile soil in the World, Three full crops a year are harvested. The top soil 'extends down 32 feet' into the earth and is modernly irrigated' by ocean water. This valley nets the farm owners about $125 profit'per crop, and they grow three compllete crolps a year. The owners there are extremely rich and use all the modern farm machinery avail- abl'e. Mr. Stewart told of his! firm's problems Jin getting permits and authority to rent land in ,the valley. They worked through the Mexican agriculture min- ister and his department, but every department head and politician had to have a hand- out before they would act. Even the police and military had to be paid for their information. He said! the Mexicans are a great bartering people. He told' of the Mexican ways of life. There are two dittinct cliashsess of people there, he said, the extremely rich and the labouring class. The land own- ers all live in the cities. Some of •their homely are what we in this,c'onanttry would estimate as between $75,000-$100,000 value. The Stewart firm were rea- sonably successful in their venom tune. Yield was up to 125 bus- • hels per acre in the valley ,but they encountered much trouble in harvesting the crop and only 'brought home half the yield. They had ,paid $125 per acre for rent of the land. "We have so much to be thankful for here in our own country and surroundings," said Mr. Stewart, after telling of the riches and rags in Mexico, and the "biggest and best" at- titude in the USA. Lion Doug 1Viiles, agrieultue l representative for Huron Co- unty, who Iliad attended OAC, Guelph, with Mr. Stewart; was chairman of this part of the farmers night and introduced the speaker.
