Later the 24 producers, elect ed 12 directors to serve Huron County in guiding toe future progress of toe board. Douglas Miles, agricultural representa tive for toe county, conducted the- election of directors. All of those elected were pre sent for toe meeting. Directors are: Hugh Flynn, Londesboro; James McIntosh, RR 3, Seaforth; Robert Arm strong, RR 2, Auburn; Gordon Blanchard, RR 4, Walton; Ger ald Vandetoengal, RR 5, .Sea forth; Mrs, Thomas Govenlock, RR 5, Seaforth; John Lockhart, RR 3, Blyith; John Henderson, RR 5, Seaforth; Robert Broad foot, RR 1, Brucefield; William Morley, RR 1, Granton; Ken Moore, Egmondvllle and Bob St. Marie, RR 3, Seaforth. “Only ten percent of the children in Canada under 16 years of age, eat eggs,” was one statement made by guest speak er HuctWiith, as he pointed out facts concerning the , potential market. The Egg Marketing Board has authority for deduction of 2 cents per bird; and this money produces funds for an advertis ing and research program, only. Other facts Mr! Huctwith stated had been .discovered in research programs: * Consumer survey based .on 12.00 replies showed, greatest single factor against buying eggs; was cleaning up the mess after cooking. (Producers sug gest using teflon equipment, or boiling eggs.) ’* Higher income people buy fewer eggs than do lower in come folk. * College student is doing a thesis on “marketing channels of eggs”, which the underwriting. * 95% of eggs are with no bantering at Board is •marketed all. * The advertising program brings results. “Wiitoin two or three weeks of beginning legiti mate advertising,” said Mr. Huctiwito, “I could see a firm ing of the price.” Mr. Huotwito and hdis- father have 800 acres of land in the Forest area, as well as an eigg grading station. As director of the Marketing Board, Mr. Huctr with says he is concerned that 60 percent of producers want production controls. “This bothers me,” saiid Mr. Huctwiitih. “The zone I repre sent on the board' would not sanction such controls'. How would lit be done? We have 25,- 000 producers in Ontario, com pared with smaller numbers of producers in other marketing plans who do use controls. It would be too large- a thing to police.” Mr. Huctwith also pointed out the need for a nation-wide mar keting board for eggs and poul try, since a good price obtained ’ through the efforts of an Ont ario board working 'alone, would only invite product from other provinces. He noted that the 'board had investigated methods of compul sory bartering for eggs — and said that this was not "avail able” at the moment. Now,on request of several zones within the province, the board Was in vestigating compulsory barter ing for eggs. “At present 95% of eggs sold through our grading station, are sold with no bartering at all,” said Huctwith. . “The mon sters at the other end — the buyers with large grocery chains have great power, and are naturally interested in downward trend of price. The marketers have no mechanism with which to work toward a -higher .price. “I am closely connected with this,” said Huctwith, "and frankly it bugs me. I keep talk ing- about it at zone meetings. We must take steps toward get ting better share of dollar. "If we can get bartering — then there 'is no need for com pulsion. Of course,” he went on, "at‘ the moment toe board has no power to do this, nor to pur chase surpluses and export them.” “Compulsory bartering is good for hog markets,” stated Mr. Huctwith. A producer present, Mr. Philip Rudolph, Crediton, noted that there was compulsion in the NHL and NiFL — “why not. in our markets?” The 12 directors elected by the Huron meeting, join with directors from Perth county, to form District 3. Numbers of di rectors in each county are bas ed on the hen 'population of 1961. Huron.' is toe largest pro ducer of eggs — and Middlesex is next, with 11 directors. The directors have the sponsibility of directing toe thinking 'and expressing th? feeling of the district, at coun ty and district meetings. Each district selects a zone director, to, form toe Ontario Board. Robert Broadfoot, RR 1, Brucefield,' has been the zone director for Huron-Perth. Each, nominee for director ship announced toe type of poultry business he wias in, and the stand he would -take, while on the board. Included were men 'in caged layers and breed er flocks and small producers with 1,000 hens, up- to one, William Morley, who has 12,000 layers, and expects to increase to 15,000. Mr. Morley is third genera tion farmer on his land, with sons coming along who want to continue the business. He salid he entered the business through (Continued on page 8) SEE OR CALL E. L.
