News of Interest to Huron County Farmers
By GORDON M. GREIG
On May 9 a meeting was held
in committee room No. 2 in the
Ontario Parliament Buildings,
Toronto, to discuss the setting
Up of a Soft Wheat Marketing
Scheme.
A good representation was
present

Eastern ......
meeting wms jointly sponsored
by the Federation Of Agriculture
and the Agricultural Council.
Mr. William Dale of Clinton re
presented the Agricultural Com
mittee of Huron County Council
and yours truly was the representative for Huron Federation
of Agriculture.
Representative from the On
tario Department of Agriculture
sat in on the meeting.
It was decided that due to the
experience the wheat producers
had last fall, when the price of
wheat dropped from $2.10 to as
low as $1,60 in a few short-
weeks, we should have an organ
ization to speak with one voice
for the thousands of farmers
who are directly interested.
The organization is known as
"The Ontario Soft Wheat Pro
ducers' Association” and it has
a director in each county. The
province is divided into districts
and each district has a member
on the executive. This gives an
executive body of eight.
The executive has Mr. Art
Wilson tof Kent County as chair
man, Mr. D. W. Stewart of Ap-
pelton as vice-president, and V.
S. Milburn as temporary secre
tary, Other executive members
are R, S. Hetherington of Milton,
H. J. Charlton of Brant County,
G, M. Greig of Huron County,
and B. J. Jannett of Simcoe
County. .

lot of wheat and a lot of money
to be passing through our hands
without us having any say re

visitor at our Feder -ation office

Huron County ranks eighth In
the number of bushels of wheat
grown in 1949. The ten high pro
ducing counties are;
Kent,

York
ties are in the extreme western
part of the province.
The total value of 1949 wheat
crop was $42,755,000. A levy
on the product to finance a mar
keting scheme would be small;
perhaps only a fraction of a
cent. However, if we are to do
a competant job of marketing
this wheat we will have to have
enough money to buy up the
rush of wheat in the fall and
store it so an even flow of wheat
will -be fed onto the market all
year around. This- is the only
answer to a stable market. To
do this a levy of five cents a
bushel will be necessary.
The exeutive -will meet again
on May 22 to try to draft a
marketing scheme to present to
the Minister of Agriculture. If a
successful scheme is secured you
may ,be asked to approve it by
a vote before this year’s crop
reaches the market.
