Fieldman comments
Agree overall plan
needed to sell milk
By J. CARL HEMINGWAY
Federation Fieldman
(These are excerpts taken
from the weekly reports of Hon.
W. A. Stewart, Middlesex North
MLA and Ontario Minister of
Agriculture.)
On Monday evening a meet.
ing of the Huron County Dairy
Co-Ordinating Boards was held
in the federation office. It took
the form of a farm forum dis-
cussion. Unfortunately L h e
weather was bad for driving
and the attendance was small
but the group did arrive at
some recommendations.
All agreed that an overall
marketing plan for milk was
necessary,
To deal with the quota prob-
lem it was agreed that present
production should be frozen.
Since there is a fairly .rapid
change in farms it was felt that
over -production could soon be
overcome if production quotas
were not saleable or transfer-
able, A new producer would
have to apply for a production
quota and then wait his turn
before he could become a ship-
per.
In controlling surplus a very
small minority suggested an
equalization deduction for the
purpose of subsidizing surplus
into export but the majority
felt that production quotas
would take care of the prob-
lem.

Discuss egg marketing
At the meeting of Ontario
Poultry Producers there was
considerable discussion, rather
heated at times, as to the meth-
od of marketing eggs, A small
group seemed quite determined
to prevent the introduction of
a producer marketing agency
for eggs.
However, when one of the
Ontario directors suggested
that if the producers present
were satisfied with present egg
marketing we might as well
all go home and forget about
selling our product. If we were
not satisfied then we should
take the necessary steps to
formulate a plan,
As a rest& a motion was
passed instructing the commit-
tee to draw up 5 petition, to be
circulated immediately, re-
questing that the Farm Prod-
ucts Marketing Board draft an
egg marketing plan on which a
vote will be taken as soon as
possible,
Outline machinery act
At the meeting of the OFA
members on Dec. 8, Farmers'
Allied Meat Enterprises be-
came a member of the OFA
and an invitation was extended
to "Fame" to present an out-
Iine of their program to the
next members' meeting in or-
der that informed support can
be givenntothis:important pro-
ject.
Explanation of the steps tak-
en to implement the resolution
of.tbe OFA for a farm machin-
ery act in Ontario was given.
The following suggestions were
presented to the agricultural
committee of the gov't by the
OFA with the support of the
Ontario Farmers' Union.
1, To provide availability of
repairs and service to. purchas-
ers of farmachinery,
2. To provide for the control
and sale of 'farm machinery
and parts in Ontario.
3. To provide for the testing
of farm machinery sold in On-
tario.
4. To provide for the publish-
ing of test reports, particularly
on machines of the future.
5. To provide for an inspec-
tion service under a farm raa-
chinery board.
If you plan to file your in-
come tax on a cash basis this
year, now's the time to think
about what effect paying those
bills, or holding off till Janu-
ary, will have on your returns,
says Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture economists. If you
think your 1961 income will be
low, ,it enay be to your advan-
tage to hold off paying some
bills until next year.

Don't like
quota idea
Farm :Forum members in
this district do not favor the
idea of quota marketing as a
planned program to bring pro-
duction nearly equal to de-
mand,
Fairfield Forum members
listed the production in this
area as general mixed farm-
ing specializing in cash crops
such as sugar beets, beans,
turnips, canning crops, corn,
wheat, oats, clover seed, hogs,
cattle, milk and eggs.
Concerning the effects of
quotas on the production and
marketing of these commodi-
ties members were not in favor,
for as one person remarked:
"There has to be a little
gamble in farming." At the
same time they agreed prices
wtioonu.ld be better for stabilize -
The group met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Russell King
with 27 present. The next meet-
ing will be the Christmas party
at the home of Mr, and Mrs.
Murray Elliott.

Ontario supplies are larger
than usual, especially of for-
age. However, there will be a
shortage of both oats and bar-

remain high until the 1962 crop

OFA requests study

ton of 'Agrieultnie-nreite-fated
its request for a provincial
farm machinery act when it
met tlie cabinet of Premier
John Roberts, QC, recently.
The OFA,both in a previous
meeting with Hon. Wm, A.
Stewart, minister of agricul-
ture, and in a session last week
with the agricultural commit-
tee of the legislature, had
placed its views on a farm
machinery act squarely before
the government and members
of other pOlitical parties.
The OFA wants an act which
would provide for availability
of repair parts and service,
control and sale of farth ma-
chinery and parts in Ontario,
the testing of farm machinery
offered for sale in Ontario and
the publication of test results,
and an inspection service to
carry out the intent of such an
act. The OFA is also calling
for a board to be set up which
would administer the act
In eeneral, the OFA brief
voiced6 many of the requests
which came out of resolutions
passed at the 25tb annual con-
vention on November 6, 7 and
8. Perhaps more than any
previous brief to cabinet, this
one ,asked for continued study
into farm problems.
It referred to past requests
for more research by the On-
tario Agricultural College in
farm management and in mar-
keting. The question of national
marketing boards, their feasi-
bility and the manner of their

development, and the legal and
economic complexities are not
well understood said the OFA,
They need more study and the
OFA would like the research
facilities of the Ontario Gov-
ernment to assist with the
study.
The brief referred to the ad-
justment which farmers must
be prepared to make as con-
ditions change, and voiced the
OFA interest in the federal
program for rural re -develop-
ment. The OFA requested full
provincial government partici-
pation in any such re -develop-
ment program.
The presentation to cabinet
also asked the Ontario Govern-
ment to do all in its power to
further development of an in-
ternational food distribution
program. It requested that the
department- of agriculture de-
velop an active information
program on the public stock-
yards at Toronto, and asked
that a standard basis of settle-
ment be established for beef
cattle on the rail, so as to re-
move grade and price report-
ing discrepancies among pack-
ing plants.
OFA governors expressed
their appreciation of the gov-
ernment for the establishing of
a co-operatives branch in the
department, It was suggested
that an important task of the
new branch would be to for.
mutate a clear set of require.
meats to be met by business
organizations seeking provin-
cial charter as co-operatives in
order to qualify as co-oper-
atives and to use the name ca -
operative. The OFA would also
like to see more encourage-
ment given to farm people by
the government to use volun-
tary co-operatives.
The secondary school educa-
tion changes suggested earlier
in the year and explained by
A. H. McKague, assistant su-
perintendent of secondary
schools, at the OFA annual
convention, were mentioned in
the brief. The OFA compli-
mented the new approach "to
bring education at secondary
school level more in line with
the needs of an industrial so-
ciety. It is desired that sec-
ondary schools serving rural
areas be given equal oppor-
tunity to offer amended and en-
riched curricula along lines of-
fered by larger urban schools."
The OFA expressed apprecia-
tion for government assistance
to Ontario Farm Forum, On-
tario Folk School Council,
Rural Leadership Forum, 4 -II
and Junior Farmer organiza-
tions and others. Similar ap-
preciation was given for the
farm management advice pro-
