The girls elected their new committee; President, Karen Tyndall; Vice-President, Louise Lovett; Press-Secretary, Katrina Beseau, The topic for the evening was "Separates for Summer", Mrs. Tyndall .and Connie Gibbings discussed the materials, styles and patterns that might suit the individual girl. The meeting was adjourned with the 4-H pledge. A restructuring of the midwestern Ontario Regional Development Council has been proposed which would give the rural segments of Huron County an opportunity for greater say. The proposal was outlined briefly to a meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture by Elmer Hunter of Goderich who is on the council. In the past there have been four delegates from each of the four regions of Perth, Huron, Waterloo and Wellington plus appointed members at large, usually representing various industries. This, Mr. Hunter said, was not representative of the region, being oriented toward industry. The new proposal would continue the regional membership and would add a fifth category with one new member for each 50,000 of population (a total of eight new members). Five new groups would be added representing agriculture, education, industry and commerce, tourism and a general category. These groups would replace the old system of members at large. The chairman of each of these groups would be a member of the board of directors. Mr. Hunter pointed out that farmers in Huron stood the possibility of gaining a place on the board of directors both through the farm group and the regional group. Meetings will be held to discuss the proposal in each region in the near future. Brucefield BY MRS. BERRY Mrs. A. Paterson spent a few days in Toronto.

In the past, levies and grants from the township councils to the township federations have been split between the County and township federations with 75 per cent going to the county. Last week Hullett township council deferred action on a request for a grant to the Hullett Federation because it felt that its grant should go strictly towards activities within the township. Reeve Hugh Flynn of Hullett was present at the meeting Thursday night and said he felt that the 25 per cent of the grant left for township activities was just too little to run an organization. Someone else complained that the county 'federation was dictating to the townships. Phil Durand, a member of the committee which rewrote the constitution last fall and left the 75/25 split in effect said he thought the money should be spent where it could do the most good and that in his opinion was in the county unit. The executive is to look into the problem. McLAUGHLIN URGES MILK RECORDING George McLaughlin, chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board urged Huron County dairymen last week to take more interest in milk recording. Speaking to the annual meeting of the Huron County Milk Producers, he said the recording program was the way to increase the efficiency of the dairy herd by culling out the non-producers. GOOD SEED MONTH ORDER. SEED NOW March IS'GatittSedd Month —:and the tag that certifies the seed Ai' "Pedigreed Seed" is what growers should be looking for. Mr. Bill Taylor, Crops Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, says that buying good pedigreed seed is the first step to practical crop insurance, because high yields are far more likely. Growers should read the tests carefully and check variety yield tables, says Mr. Taylor, to ensure buying the best possible varieties. CANADIAN BEEF IMPORTS UP IN 1970 Canadian imports of boneless beef in 1970 totalled 126.8 million pounds (product weight) compared to 100.1 million pounds a year earlier, according to the D.B.S. Australia supplied about 50 million pounds. In the fourth quarter of 1970, boneless beef imports totalled 19.2 million pounds, down significantly from the 54 million pounds imported during the corresponding period of 1969. In 1970, Canadian exports of boneless beef totalled 63.6 million, up from 37.9 million pounds in 1969. Almost all Canadian exports went to the U.S. In 1970, boneless mutton imports totalled 41.6 million pounds, 15.0 million pounds below a year earlier. Australia was the major supplied (40,5 million pounds). Imports of lamb in 1970 totalled 27.9 million pounds, up 48 pet cent from a year earlier. * * The Ontario Federation of Agriculture, which last year fought the Ontario government for the removal of education tax from the property tax roles has prepared a proposal for the government to show how funds Could be raised to replace lost revenue if the tax was dropped. Based on 1969 figures the total amount raised for education purposes from property taX was $'735,000,000. Of this $409,000,000 was raised on taxes on farm and residential properties. This, th e OFA claims, could be replaced by a rise of 3.27 per cent on the provincial personal income tax. The other $329,000,000 came froth property tax on commercial properties. This, they say, could be raised with an addition of 11.61 per cent on the commercial income tax. These taxes under their plan could be deducted by the federal government and funneled back to the Ontario Government, and would be tax deductible for farm and industrial purposes.
