J. Leverne Morley, R.R. 3, Lucan, was one of a delegation , of 25 which represented the On- tario Farmers' Union at the In- terprcivincial Farm Union Council joint board conference held at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, July 16-17. Twelve Ontario ounties were represented at this conference where national farm union policy was drafted and will be submit- ted to provincial farm union con- ventions for ratification. Full parity prices on all farm products consumed in Canada by means of deficiency payments was again supported as a major project. Consideration was given to pro- tection for Canadiae farmers • against excessive dumping of • farm produtts from other coun- tries. ' A resolution asked the LF.U,C, to make recommendations as to the method by which agricultural support prices can be paid direct- ly to producers. Arrangements were made for a delegation to interview the new federal cabinet at an early date with a view to promoting im- mediate action for relief of dis.;,, tressed farmers, and a longer a 11 t ) 1 ,t • I LIONS HELP CRIPPLED FARMER—Members of Zurich Lions Club turned out in full force last week to hoe beans for Mrs. Don Hulbert, who is looking after the 75 acre farm on the Babylon Line while her husband is bed -ridden with- a fractured leg that • will take over a year to heal.

Grateful for the assistance she's getting, Mrs. Hulbert hopes to continue operating the farm un- til her husband can tackle the job himself again. That won't be for another year at least. Hulbert, a 38 -year-old native af Dundas, broke his left. leg Junior Farmers Pia'? Ottawa Trip' Huron County Junior Farmers made plans this week for a four- day bus tour.to the Ottawa area in August. The juniors hope to visit the St, Lawrence Seaway project, parliament buildings, mint, Cen- tral Experimental Farm and take a boat trip up the Ottawa river, Tentative dates for the trip' have been set for August 24 to 2/. for the second time on June 22. Because he has a rare condition called esteem yelitis—inflamm a. tion of the bone marrow—it will take 'many months for the break to heal. ' The farmer broke the same leg in 1955 and was in bed for 14 months. He Was just recover- ing—still going around with a brace on- his 'leg—when the sec- ond break occurred a month ago, He was cllinbing stairs to the loft to shut a barn door when he slipped and fell on his tender limb. • The Hulberts bad some crop in before the second break. Neighbor Roy Erb helped Mrs. Hulbert get some more in and the Dietrich brothers, Frank and Irvine, sowed beans, Joining hp.' gether in a bee, neighbors Ottt, baled and stored the hay• Friday night, members of Zur-' ich Lions Club dame out in a body to hoe the beans. • Cheerful despite the big task she's undertaken, Mrs. Halbert acre farm in October, 1954.

The first re- action will be that the support price is too low. Let us consider just what this means. First. we must agree that the government has no desire to go into the turkey business and I don't think the turkey growers would want it to; thus the price had to he low. However to take. legal action on import bans or quotas, a support price had to be sot which was the real reas- on for setting it. Secondly the price had to be low in view of of the experience of the 'U.S. government in price setting. Sorge people learn by the .ex- perienee of others, which, is cheapest, others learn by their own experience which is 'some- times painful and expensive, some never learn which is dis- astrous. As a result of govern- ment action previously turkeys are currently selling in Californ- ia for 15 to 160 a lb. and were being imported into Canada • in quantity, thus we can be thank. ful to the government for mak- ing it legally possible to impose import bans and quotas which I understand has already been done. Again we might consider a higher price support. U.S. has gone to great lengths to give 90 to 95 percent parity price to farmers; the result is huge sur- pluses. They have tried to con- trol production in grain crops by their soil bank plan yet after spending huge amounts to reduce acreage, production increased. Now they are facing internation- al difficulties in trying to •dis- United States has, by these policies: earned the doubtful distinction of being 'the first country to have a rational debt greater- than the total assessed value of the property of the country: ' I .realize that farmers are working at a disadvantage in Canada but' .think we should learn front the experience of the Huron County Crop Report By A.S. BOLTON During the past week approx- imately one-third •of the wheat crop in the county was cut with the binder and many of the farm- ers plan to thresh this wheat this week. Haying operations have been Almost completed. • With the =sunshine and ade- quate moisture supply, corn fields in the county have made rapid growth.

ETHERINGTON "Here she comes!" This cry• threw the •C.N.R., station at Exeter into a hive of excitement early last Thursday morning. Members of local 4-1 clubs and their club leaders pre- pared to board the special seven car train, that was grinding to a stop. Huron Conoty 4-11'ers U.S. .A were off on their annual train for the Motor City, Detroit, tour—this year we were headed Inside the train the 4-H mem- bers were quickly making 'them- selves comfortable for the jour- ney ahead. First year members, on their first train trip, •although timid at first, soon set about the fob of exploring the train, Seine of the older members who were seasoned to these trips .settled down to catch up on the sleep they had missed getting up so early. Meanwhile, ,the train sped a- long to London on the first leg of the trip, At London the train was switched onto a different track so that it could continue its way to Sarnia. Customs officers had by now boarded the train so that we could cross the border without stopping too long. They travel- led through the cars of the train checking birth certificates and other identification. Any person who wasn't quite sure *when he was born was certainly but, of luck this time. Pass Through Tunnel The train soon arrived at Sar- nia where we entered the tun- nel to erAS the border. We then travelled to Port ,Huron on our way to Detroit. Finally we ar- rived at Detroit's Brush Street Station. Here we bdrded buses for the trip across town to Green- field Village arriving there around 12:15. During our trip across Detroit we made' an acquaintance with some of the sounds and smells, typical of a big city and I am sure that there were many peo- ple who decided that the farm was a pretty nice place to be. Although it was still early in the day the heat was terrific in the crowded streets. We soon. arrived at the ath- letic field in Greenfield Village 19-21 Oct, 4, 5 where the buses were unloaded. After a hasty lunch which each Person had brought from honie Sept. 18, 19 the party was split into two Aug. 29.31 groilps, half of the members go - Sept. 28 ing to the village and the other half going to the Henry Ford Sept. 19, 20 museum.

Again in buses we travelled to the Barium Hotel for our sup- per. This time there weren't ,quite enough noses when the count was taken on the way to the hotel. However the unlucky people made their way to the hotel by cab and the eleven of them suffered little' more than a late supper. The people of the hotel are to be complimented on the speed in which they served our meal. The steak supper proved to be verygoad - and I think everyone enjoyed it, We now returned to the street where we 4gathered for the walk to the Brush Street Station where our train was waiting for us. The club• leaders' had quite I job keeping people in the group since many of them headed to nearby restaurants to satisfy their healthy farm appetites. At last we were off. To our enjoy- ment the police escort provided by the city blocked off the streets crossing the route to the station and we were blessed with a feel- ing of priority as we strolled past lines of halted cars. , At the station we were quick, ly loaded into the train for the trip home. After a final' count to make sure nobody: was left to the mercy of the' •city the train jerked to a start; The journey home proved to be uneventful since most of us were tired after the big day we had just enjoyed.' During the trip the water cooler proved to be a favorite spot on the train. All too soon the train pulled into Exeter at 11:30 thus ending it wonderful trip.
