Chartered Accountants 268 Main St., Exeter ARTHUR W, READ Resident Partner 285.0120 A petition was launched by rutabaga growers last week to aet up a marketing board in. Ontario to promote the turnips. Sixteen rutabaga growers signed the petition when it was introduced at a meeting at Stratford's coliseum of about 50 persons connected with the industry in the province,. The petition will go to the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board for con- sitleration. Frank Vanneste of Lucan expects it will be early fall before a marketing board is established-if one is to be established, The idea for the board was first raised a few months ago by the .Huron-Middlesex Rutabaga Growers Association, the largest group of exporter's in the province. The petition will be cir-. ciliated throughout Ontario in the next few months and Mr. Vanneste said 15 per cent of the membership-about 45 growers-must be in favor of for- ming a marketing board before any further discussion can take Mr. Vanneite, who is chair- man of the Huron Middlesex group said if the marketing board is formed it would serve as a promotional organisation for the industry;. Sales and eXports would be increased and the growers would ,be forced to pay more towards the actual promotion. At the moment the growers pay little in comparison to the shippers towards the • cost of promotion, LaSt year the Ontario Rutabaga Council operated with a budget of $31,000, of which the shippers paid $20,000 and the growers $500, Chairman of the council, Ted Chudleigh of Milton, said the growers and the shippers should be paying equal amounts to the Rutabaga Council, The reason for the dif- ference is that the shippers have the money deducted at the time of shipping and the . growers only contribute volun- tarily. Under a marketing board system the 350 growers in the province would be ordered to pay a certain amount to the board. Mr, Vanneste estimated as much as $40,000 extra would be created by forming a marketing board. "This would give us the op- portunity to hire a full-time person to travel around, especially in the U.S. and talk' to buyers and wholesalers and increase our sales," said Mr. Chudleigh. He expected that if the marketing board did become a reality, the Ontario Rutabaga Council would cease to exist, He said the marketing board would simply be an ex- tension of promotional services done by the council. Mr. Chudleigh agreed the marketing board was a good idea and should be started, if only to get rutabaga growers paying their "fair share" toward the promotion of their product. Lewis Thomson, a producer from Stratford and chairman of the Oxford and District Turnip Growers Association, was not one of the 16 to sign the petition last week. And he won't be signing the petition. He said he did not see any benefit to the rutabaga growers in forming a marketing board. "If there's a lot of turnips one year you can't order people to buy them. If they don't want to buy them there's no law that says they must. "And if there is a shortage another year, they will all be sold for a higher price and everyone will be happy. I just don't see where a board will benefit us," said Mr, Thomson, who is also chairman of the turnip section of the Ontario Food and Vegetable Growers Association, Mr. Thomson said the main concern of the growers was the fact they were selling their rutabagas at two cents a pound. chain stores are purchasing them at four to five cents a pound and turning round and charging 12 to 15 cents for them retail, "WO there's nothing we can do about it, and even a marketing board couldn't do anything about it," he said. This year the Ontario Gover- nment, as part of its special youth employment program known as Experience 74, is sponsoring the Junior Agriculturalist Program through the Ontario ministry of agriculture and food, ' The Junior Agriculturalist Program is designed to provide a prac- tical learning experience for young people 16 and 17 years of age, from non-farm homes who have a serious interest in agriculture. As a Junior Agriculturalist, a person will be placed on a selected commercial farm, where he/she will perform regular labour activities relative to that farm operation. In addition a Junior Agriculturalist will have an op- portunity to develop an ap- Fergus Young, ,RR 1, En- nismore, has been re-elected chairman of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board.

It made me think that some people liave ideas in their food eating habits and are willing to pay much more for food than less concerned people do. On the other hand, now that beef grown with the help of hor- mones that could theoretically cause cancer is banned from our shores, one hears more about a possible price increase than about a possible cancer death. * * Not many people are too concerned about the reports that there is only enough wheat in the world today to feed this world for one, I repeat one month. It is frightening. One worldwide crop failure, or near failure, and literally millions upon millions of people will starve to death. Most everyone knows that now, at this very moment, hundreds of thousands of Africans are starving. We, the rich peoples, go right on squandering our resources that grow food. Another reason for food shortages is the fact that there is so much op- position against ingredients to preserve food from spoilage. It could presumably cause something or other if eaten in great quantities, so we rather let it rot. I heard mention that one-third of all food spoils for this reason. * * * Beef prices in the NWT are so high that people can't af- ford to buy it. Now they turn to the hunters for caribou meat. The Indian ,leaders are worried that the Caribou may be hunted to extinction, if this keeps up, * * Marion Brechin, of the Consurriers Association of Canada is one of those women who claim to come from a farming area (Lucknow). If she did, she certainly wasn't very obser- vant, for she keeps on attacking farmers. The last I heard of her was that consumers can't go on indefinitely subsidizing agriculture. For heavens sake, can't‘ one of her fellow Cacs set her straight that agriculture has been subsidizing Con- sumers for a hundred years? rn,; t ' # * * Food prices are up. What? Look at running shoes. They are up 60 per cent and before the year is out further in- creases are expected. STERLING FUELS ANNOUNCING OUR OPENING FRED LAWRENCE .ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR HOME-FARM-COMMERCIAL.
