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.
