Egg and Poultry
Vote Expected To
End Uncertainty
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture ,welcomes the'an-
nouncement of a vote on an
Egg and Fowl Marketing Plan.
Commenting on the forthcom-
ing vote, the President of the
Federation Stated' the recent
announcement by the Ontario
Farm Products, Marketing
Board will bring an end 'to the
uncertainty 'that has prevailed
in this area for a number of
years.
Mr. Musgrave stated the OFA
would have preferred ,to see a
plan in operation on a trial
basis for a period of time in
order 'to give producers an op-
portunity of assessing its value
before being called upon to cast
their loallots, He feels, however,
that a vote is much prefewable
to 'a continuation of •the uncer-
tainty that has existed for
some 'time.
In requesting a marketing
plan, the Ontario Poultry Pro-
ducers' Association has pointed,
out 'the heed for market re-
search, 'and, the need for pro-
moting the consumption of
poultry products.
In spite of their high nutri-
tive value and low cost, the ',- per capita consumption of eggs
in 'Canada is low in comparison
to that of many other coon=
tries,
The proposed marketing plan
will provide the necessary
funds to conduct market re-
search and promotional pro-
grams by authatiting a levy of
two cents per bird on all fowl
sold for elattgliten
The Ontario Federation of
Agridultere has given Whole-
hearted support to the Ontario
Poultry Producers' Association
in its repeated requests for a
Marketing plan.,While this
plan is ,sponsored by producers,

duders they urge everyone, in,
