Me Kercher, zone chairman, for their disinterest in the spring vote on a poultry and egg marketing scheme. Writing ip the Huron County Federation of Agriculture Year Book, Mr. McKercher said: “It is quite apparent from the outcome of the vote held this spring on a poultry and egg marketing scheme, that a major­ ity of poultry producers are not interested in any effort to stabil­ ize egg prices. They are not even interested enough to vote against a plan, that was publicized by those in opposition, as “a fool­ hardy, freedom snatching, money grabbing plan,” initiated by a handful of inexperienced per­ sons. “There can be no complaint against those who were actively opposed to the plan as outlined 'by the Ontario Poultry Producers Association, For the most part they, were good farmers, good poultry men, and good business men, who have made a relative success of their ventures. They did not want the scheme, and were interested enough to get out and vote against it. More power to them! It would be a good thing if the rank and file of the farmers were as interest­ ed in things they wanted or did not want. “From the standpoint of an executive member of the associa­ tion, I was not particularly con­ cerned about the outcome of the vote on the egg marketing scheme. Although I will admit I thought the plan was workable, and would have liked to have seen the poultrymen of Ontario make an attempt to do some­ thing to better their own returns. However, I was concerned and am still concerned about the in­ difference of the rank and file of producers to show even a slight interest in organization of their own industry. “The Federation of Agricul­ ture in this province has worked for years to get a Marketing Act on the Statutes that would en­ able the farmers of Ontario to have some say in the marketing of their produce. The executive of the Poultry Producers As­ sociation has had instructions for two years to ask that a marketing scheme be brought in. They have been in consultation with other provinces on the plan for that time as well. “A great deal of committee work was involved. Many meet­ ings were held with Department of Agriculture officials. A scheme was finally brought down that was thought to be one of the best yet, put out under the Farm Products Marketing Act. The op­ portunity of voting, availability of ballot boxes, time of voting, etc. were without doubt, the most efficient of any vote taken by agriculture producers in this province. An<i still only a small percentage of producers turned out to vote! “Just what do producers of this province expect of the people they elect to office in their var­ ious commodity organizations, if they are not interested enough to express their opinion on vital questions.” I Pop’s Taxi ii All Passengers g Skilly Insured :i Day and Night Call g 357 or 545-r-3 g Town Trips Only 25^ 550 Guests Register At Grand Bend Bureau The Lions sponsored informa­ tion bureau is being used for locating accomodation, finding lost articles, registering cottages, cabins and rooms available for tourist accommodation.

Shock over the unexpected de­ mise of her husband, is believed to have hastened the death of Mrs. McNaughton, who had been ill for two years, Mr. McNaughton was born in Brant County, and had lived at Woodham 47 years.
