When I was writing this column about Sept, 1 the pros- pects for harvest were most discouraging. Now after a few days of good harvest weather the picture .has changed for the better, A goodmany have already :finished and the rest of us h...ve hopes. Surprisingly even the grain that went clown .ear. ly is giving fair returns of a tittle lower quality where many expected only chaff. Any grain that stood up even a little is giving excellent returns. I hope that we continue to have favourable weather un- til all of us can get the har- vest out of the way, At best it will .leave little time for [alt cultivation. Discuss hog coop In preparation for the an- nual meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers Co -Operative to 'jacketbe held. on Sept, 14, the repre- i sen'tatives of the bog organi- ind Middle-. v at ons in Huron a ses met at Lucan. As mentioned in, a previous • article the main. question to be settled. at the annual meeting • tour. f ueec it�n (Continued from last week) Alter a good night's sleep we started touring Quebec City at 8:30. After travelling through the narrow street of the main city we soon passed the parlia- ment buildings. The flowers in front of the buildings were all abloom which certainly set off the background. Changing of Guard. Our main stop of the morn- ing was at the citadel. Here we watched the changing of the guard which impressed me very much. The mascot of the guards was a goat and when it passed by we allthought we were home on the farm. After the changing of the guard we had a conducted tour of the citadel. From various points we could look out over the St. Lawrence River and also view the City of Quebec. After spending the morning at the citadel we took off down town for dinner. This was the Inly dinner of our entire trip had tat we t as all the o . .b u Y Walking Tour of Quebec After lunch we took a walk- ing toiir of various points of interest in the city, We had just started our tour when. I hap- pened to look across the street andnoticed two South Huron jackets, Here if it wasn't Mary Shaw and Judy Tennant of Exe- ter! I was really surprised to see someone I knew so far from home. Since we were ona walk- ing tour 1 couldn't stop to talk to them. Soon we reached the Board- walk and on to the Plains of Abraham. I think this was the warmest day of our trip and after we had walked up the 119 steps of the Boardwalk every- body was exhausted. After a cool rest of a half hour the buses arrived to pick us up. We then went to the poorest section of the city. We walked through what they call "the slum area" and believe me it was slum. The little ehildren would walk back through the group holding their hands out asking for money. Some of their mothers saw us coming so they brought the children down to the street and told them to ask for money. Our guide told us that the parents make the children ask visitors for money so they can go to the bar at the hotel. Everybody was happy to get out of there and let their purse hang: free again, ipTo go from one extreme to the other we then visited Notre Dame Ranieri Catholic Church, This is a very beautifulchurch and is open at alltimes so pm ple can go in and say their prayers, e,.... U,, ,, e.....1, h, u n ll, i l u, U :Just a short distance down the street was the river and we watched two large boats load people and cars to .take them. across the river. As it was only 4:30 they let us shop until 6. We arrivedback at Helen's Mo- tel about 6:15 and we all rested until about 8, That evening Mr. and Mrs, Kett, proprietors of llelen's Mo- tel, treated us with a wiener and corn :roast which I under- stand they do each year. They said they always look forward to the visit from the Junior Farmers of Ontario. Meet Exeterites After the wiener roast seve- ral of the delegates went out to the trampoline in front of the motel. To my surprise I noticed the South. Huronjac- kets again: Just by coincidence Mary and. Judy and. Mary's fam- ily stayed at Helen's that night. They seemed more surprised to see me than. I was to see them as they had not seen me in the afternoon, but. ,we were all thrilled to think we met so far from home. It was rather late' when we got to bed that night but we were all up and on our way the next morning at 8 a•m. This Was one of Mir longest travelling days as we travelled from Quebec City to Ottawa. By 12:30 we reached Ste Anne de Bellevue and hadour lunch at Macdonald College. After lunch the girls were to tour the home economics department but as they were re -decorating we could not go in. However we toured the college farm with the boys. This college is similar to the one at Guelph. We could not spend long there as we were running behind schedule. After being on the road for a few hours we reached the Larose Forest in Russell. Coun- ty. I don't think I have ever seen so many trees all together before, although the zone for- ester explained that they had really done a lot 'throughfor- estry to improve this forest. Another highlight was having our supper out in the forest and you can guess what we had baked beans. Our host for the supper was Mac Arbithnot, past president of the Ontario Junior Farmers, After a sing song we boarded the buses. Everyone had a good time especially eat- ing the baked beans. We didn't reach Ottawa until. after. 9, bul: by being later we approached the city while it was alllit up: While we stayed m Ottawa most of us slept inWhite House Motel. Tour of Ottawa By 8:30 the next morning we were ready to Start our tour of We Want Beans Contact us for Prices and Storage We have increased Our Bean Storage this year, W tan give you good service and quick unloading.

Schneller was in charge of our tour at the capital, Our main stop of the rnornin:g was at Parliament Hill. I was very much dis- appointed in the Parliament Buildings as we could only get in the House of Commons and the Library. The rest of the rooms were being redecorated so the public was not allowed in, We waited in line about a half hour to go up to the Peace Tower and .. then about ten minutes to 10 they told us to go down to see the changing of the guard. When we got down there it had been can- celled because it was pouring rain. So I didn't get up to the Peace Tower nor did 1 see the changing of the guard at Ot- tawa, I was glad afterwards 1 had seen the changing of the guard at Quebec City. We then proceeded on to the Mint. While some went in the Mint others through the public archives and war museum. Both these placesovere very in- teresting, although at the Mint they made sure you didn't get a sample. We took a tour along Sussex Drive and viewed the different homes. We pass- ed Mr. Diefenbaker's home, also most of the homes of the embassies. RCMP barracks One of our biggest stops was at the ROMP barracks. Here we saw the stables at the ROMP horses, and as they were doing the musical rides in Toronto we didn't expect to see any horses. However, there were several in the stables. We passed the Minto Skating Club where Barbara Ann Scott did most of her skating. I often wondered where the Dominion Observatory was but now I know as we passed it on our tour. After a hectic morning we arrived at the Central E.xperi• mental. Farm for dinner. After a delicious meal we toured the farm. The remainder of the afternoon was spent shopping and then around 8 p.m. we visited Central Canada Exhibi- tion in Lansdowne Park. After spending some time at the Exhibition everyone was tired is to be whether or not the co- operative is to continue to ex- ist. Presently the Hog Produ- cers Marketing Boardis in charge of the sale of hogs in Ontario. However at the time the marketing boardwas es- tablished it was considered il- legalfor a marketing board to do the actual selling. It was then necessary for the market- ing board to set up the co-op to do the selling. The co-op hired the person- nel of the marketing agency to do the job. Now there has been a change in the interpretation of the .law so that the marketing board could -hire the agency to do the selling, thus eliminating the co-op. No saving in cost At the meeting in Lucan we were toldthat there would be no saving in expenses. It would simply mean that the board would have more work to do with an increased number on the board to do the work. It would relieve some of the confusion in the minds of pro- ducers as io....:tbe mechanics of their organization. And perhaps the most signi- ficant point brought out was the statement that it would he pleasing to the farm products board to do this *since they rec- ommended it at the time that change in method of sale was and needed sleep badly, hut since it • was the .last night away some stayed up all night. I went to bed but it seemed I wasn't there long. - Homeward bound By 8:30 the next morning we were homeward bound. After a good morning of driving we arrived at Peterborough for din- ner, arranged by the Ontario Dep't of Agriculture. After dinner we visited. the locks and saw a boat being lifted. After everybody said goodbye we boarded the buses for home. After .letting most of the delegates off we arrived in Kitchener at 7:30. It was sure nice going away but I think it was nicer corning home. I sure had a wonderful time and if 1' ever could go again, I wouldn't hesitate a minute as You meet delegates from all. over On. tario. x demanded, At this time one government official was re- ported to have saki that the coop would have to go," if this is done the marketing board will have eleven mein. hers, one fromeach zone plus three at large, elections to take nn place at the aual meeting. I don't feel that I have enough informationto make a derision but on the foregoing 1 cannot agree to the elimination of the e:o-op. If it is a govern- ment order let us have it as such. Then farmers will know that we are faceo with gov- ernment marketing of our pro- ducts. Also if the coop is re- tained, producers could conti- nue volutary marketing should the gov't withdraw the power of marketing from the market- ing board.

Huron County crop report By 0, H, MILES Huron Ag Rep A week of excellent weather has helped farmers harvest a great deal of their grain. There is yet at least 25% of the crop to thresh and combine. Considerable harvesting of beans has taken. place with yields of "not worth harvest- ing" to "35 bushel crop" re- ported -- quality is reported good. Turnip men are reporting "cracks" from too fast a growth. Heavy movement of steers out and into the area is taking place, • Silage and grain cornare maturing fast and it won't be long before the job of filling silos will be upon the farmers. To voe o onion plan The Farm Products Market- ing Board has announced that a plebiscite will be conducted by the board.
