Complete Course At RCAF Base Square dancers completing a 24-week beginners' course held at RCAF Station Clinton under the direction of FA Art .,SbeP- herd received their diplomas at No man -is horn unto him- self alone; Who lives unto:him- self, -he lives to none.—Francis Quarle. Might I change it a little and say that farm pro- duct marketing groups cannot live unto themselves alone? Could I go a step further and say that producers of farm pro- ducts, that are not organized to market their particular pro- duct, cannot justify, a freedom from responsibility? One of our oldest marketing boards is engaged in -the mar- keting of white beans. While supplies vary from year to year they have not experienced -too much difficulty in disposing of the total crop. On the whole, returns have been satisfactory to producers. But what of the future? I happen to be interested in livestock production. New var- ieties of white beans have been plornas Christensen and Bob Reid. Presentation of diplomas was made by Fp., and Mrs, Art . Shepherd. Chairman of the. Clinton Cross-Trailer Square Dance Club, F70 Rill Edgar, sopervised the evening's activie ties and provided a sumptuous Dancing will continue at the base On Wednesday evenings and all area dancers are wel- come. • developed which, I am told, my district could grow 'successfully. Am I 'justified in switching my efforts to growing white beans?. Should I expect to be free. to capitalize on all the effort that these 'men have put into the marketing organization?— And incidently increase volume beyond the capacity of the available market. 'What limits the. price of On'-' tario winter wheat? One would ordinarily expect that the sale price of pastries would have,a definite 'influence. Apparently this factor would allow a much higher price to the producer of wheat. We, in Ontario, produce ab- out twice as much of this wheat as is needed for pas-, tries. The present price at- tracts more than what is need- ed for the pastry trade and the extra is sold into export by the producers Marketing Board., The other half remains on the farms for feed purposes. If the price were raised to the limit of the sale price of pas- tries it would be so much more profitable than feeding live- stock that the supply would overwhelm t h e Marketing Board and render it completely ineffective. As a beef producer, I may very well say I am free to sell my cattle for as little as I like, but is -it right that by so doing I should be free to place a ceil- ing on the income of the pro- ducers of white beans and wheat? No` chain 'will pull more than the weakest link. No farm marketing organization can be- come • much stronger than is permitted by 'the producers of the commodity with the weak- est method of selling their pro- duct. What is the pOsition of the livestock prodUeer in the market place? First, livestock must be mar- keted within -very short titne litnitS. • PIP-P*1ER s4vis WE USED ro WdRie HARD TO dEP AHEAD, NOW-A-VS OE Oak' DA HARD To SrAY 66911 Calorefie teats were in a- iindanee at the home haRing section of the bazaar held on March 14 at Wesley-Willls nited Church, In lieu pf several 'booths, all efforts were directed towards the one gigantic baking booth. Five large tables held supplies of scrump.. us looking cakes, pies, pastries, homemade bread and dainties. This successful endeavour was the responsibility of the Mary and Martha group, as-, sisted by the Fidelity Unit of Second, the number of buy-, ers, compared to number of producers, is extremely small. Third, the livestock 'basically is not in an exportable form. ' Livestock producers n o w have the opportunity to with- draw from the "ball and chain" role that they have been play- ing in respect to other com- modity group marketing organ- izations. Fprmers' Allied Meat Enter- prises Co-operative Limited is 'being organized to improve net returns from the production of livestock. First by extended marketing time limits by sell- ing meats, Second by having a product where the number of buyers compares more nearly to the number of producers. Third, the processed product will be in, a form that can be widely exported. How much will this mean to the livestock producers? Fifty cents on a hog or $2.00 on a steer which would be about one percent of sales and' would mean a 10 percent in-crease in net income to the producer. This might very well allow a similar improvement in net income to the other farm cone-. modity marketing -boards. the VOW, It was convened by Mrs. 13e-' ether; Menzies. :spring..like theme, with at, Patrtieks flavour, was created. by the decorating committee for this annual. event.

Trip 4Ian Card Party Due to the department of edocation's intent to alter rur- al elementary school adminis- tration, the Hullett Township Federation of Agriculture de- cided at their March meeting to forego plans to visit central schools in the district. The proposal -to take a bus tour of central schools was made at the last meeting due to 'the fact such a school was being considered for Hullett. However, it was the general feeling at the meeting that such a trip would not be of any value at the present time as the government was in the process of changing the school system in a bid to force cen- tralization. Members of the Federation were also told at the meeting that several more orders had been received for gate signs, This brings the total up to 63 according to Mrs. Ross Lov- ett, 'secretary of the F. of A. Make. Donations At the meeting in Londes- boro, the group voted to donate $15.00 to the annual Hullett Township Music Festival and a donation of $5.00 was made to the Seed Show, sponsored last week by the Huron County Crop -and Soil Improvement Association. It was decided to hold an- other card party on Thursday, March 26 in the Loridesboro Hall. Those in charge are Mr. Mrs. Lawrence Plaetzer and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cunning- ham, In other discussion, the direc- tors were asked to think over the possibility of_ having guest speakers and report back at the April meeting. They were also asked to suggest persons who might be invited as guest speakers. 0 Home Economist Attends Sessions Sixth .meeting of the Clinton Dainty Diamonds was held at the home of the leader, Mrs. Ron MacDonald, on Tuesday with nine members present. A special guest, Pat Damude, Huron's home economist, look- ed at the members' record books and gave advice. Sewing machines were set up for 'those Who wanted to sew their blouSes. Members decided to hold a party at the eighth meeting if the project is completed by this time. 4440,0d.i)Y WA, Wilfred ,Jervis, Mrs, Kerr johnston, Miss K.
