The meeting was well attended with some 140 present. Unfor- tunately for me, I had to attend the annual meeting of the Huron County Cream Producers and missed the address and showing of slides given by Anson Mc- Kinley, Zurich, and on which I have heard very favourable com- ment. At the cream producers meet- ing the following county direct- ors were elected as voting dele- gates to the provincial annual to be held in the Royal York on November 18: Horace Delbridge, Elmer Ireland, Rae Houston, Simon Hallahan, Hume Clutton, D elm a r Skinner; alternates, James S. Elliott, Russell Bolton and Don Buchanan. Simon Hallahan was re-elected chairman, with Horace Del - bridge as vice-chairman and j. C. Hemingway as secretary - treasurer. Two resolutions were approv- ed: The first recommended that the floor prite of butter be based on a cost of production that would return to the producer an income, comparable to the cur- rent wage level. The second op- posed any tariff restrictions on the importation of soy beans and the Federal Government was commended for providing. a de. ficiency payment to provide the growers with a reasonable in- come from this crop. The trend of cream producers to sell whole milk for the manu- facture of skim milk powder and butter, rather than separating at the farm was discussed. The cream producers receive no revenue from the butter to as- sist in carrying ontheir catn. paign of promotion arid adver- tisitnwg. ia s felt that some arrange- ment should be made whereby the Ontario Cream Producers would receive some financial as. sistance from the butter pro- duced iii this way since the pro- motion is just as important and beneficial to this group. Mr. Lochead, fieldnian for the Ontario Cream Producers, show. ed slides on the type of assist - ante available for advertising and promotion throughout the county at fall fairs and other activities.
