Producers Ass'n has indicated that a change in tactics may be pend- ing in its efforts to develop an information and promotion pro- gram aimed at both producer and consumer. The 1001 annual meeting of the association authorized the directors to proceed with plans to instigate a voluntary deduc- tion of 1.00 per head on all cat- tle sold in Ontario, The idea was that the association would help pay for the truckers' bills of lading which would contain a . clause enabling the shipper (the farmer) to authorize the sales yard or packing plant to deduct the l0' per head and send the money to the associa- tion. However, although all truck- ers are supposed to use bills of lading according to the laws of this f:tprovince, a survey con- ducted by the economics branch of the department during the past year indicates that only about 25 r ; actually do, Surveys conducted by the beef producers association in the last year indicate that over three- quarters of the farmers ship- ping cattle consider bills of lad- ing necessary, and almost the same percentage favored a vol- untary deduction plan to raise funds for some kind of public relations, information and pro- motion program. Small ship- pers contacted were nearly all in favor, while only about ball of large shippers indicated that they would contribute. Now, we understand that the costs involved in printing and distributing these bills of lad- ing (and perhaps the difficulties involved in enforcing their use), opposition from some truckers who claim they would have to act as the information branch of the association in explaining. the deduct'on. to farmers, and some doubt the amount of money that could be raised this way, have given 11w directors reason for a change in thinking, Compulsory plan? Considera lion is now being given to some. type of compul- sory plan to raise funds. Many farmers fear any kind of compulsory plan. since they believe it might be the first step toward a compulsory marketing plan that would provide agency powers similar to those under the hog producers marketing hoard, There are all kinds of different plans possible Wider the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act and George Mc- Cague, chairman of the board that administers that act, has said it is quite possible to have jt plan to collect funds for pro- motion and information pur- poses that Cannot become a full - fledged agency marketing plan. If all producers. contributed 10e per head all cattle sold, which would be the case under A compulsory plan, the associa- tion should have between 575,000 and $85,000 annually to finance its work, This might include an Office an d a Seerotaty-manager' or fieldman, an information program for producers to ke ep 'them abreast of both production and marketing develOpMeMs, and a promotional program to stimulate the sale Of beef. The .exact details of the plan have not been worked out, but information to prOducers through press, radio and television and perhaps a regular publication would. be part, of the program.

Middlesex Ag Rep 'Middlesex Soil & Crop Im- provement Association has or- ganized two summer twilight crop tours. Th e firs t will be on Monday, July 16, commencing at 6:45 p,m, at the farm of John R. Stewart, Strathroy, and then at 7:45 to the farm of Alex M. Stewart & Son, Ailsa Craig, On the John B.

Matthew,,, former Middlesex boy and head of the department of soil science. at OAC Guelph, will be the special speaker, There will he a panel discussion with growers and ex- tension personnel. Start at Adelaide The second tour will be on Tuesday, August 7, commencing at 6:45 p.m. at 'the Fred Brent Pasture Farm, Adelaide village, and will visit farms of E. Ear- ley, L. Dodge, Foster, McLean, and K. Patterson in the Kerr- wood area. Special speaker's and programs are being ar- ranged for this second meeting. to discuss hay and pastures, general crops, fertilizers, and weed control, These are popular family events and lunch will be served at 'both gatherings. Haying operations dint not keep as many Perth farmers from the annual twilight meet- ing of the Perth County Soil and Crop improvement Associa- tion as directors had expected. :Instead, an excellent crowd gathered in the warm twilight hours Wednesday on the farm of Norman. Dow, just east of Staffa. Crop expert Charles Kingsbury of the On- tario Agricultural Col le g field crops department, ex- plained varieties of cereal crops, forage and corn under- going testing at the Dow farm. Russell oats were among the varieties tried in cereal crops. This will be the first year, Mr. Kingsbury said, that a fair as- sessment of Russell and what it will mean to the farmer can be made, haven't heard any complaints about„it so far." he said. "It will likely replace Garry in many places. Mr. Kingsbury also discussed Huron county crop report Ey D. -1. MILES Huron As Rep Most of the county could use a good long rain, although there, were scattered showers early in .the week. Pastures and hoed crops are showing effects of high tempe- rature and lack of moisture. Wheat is turning quickly. Peas and turnips are being harvested, Farmers have completed the big portion of their haying, Keystone, he said, is the clos- est thing to a new variety in this class. There is less smut in this than in any other va• riety, but figures on yield are "almost too good to be true." Keystone, he said, will not stand mildew, and the past few years have not seen much of this, hence the good reports. Trefoil plot An interesting part of the tourwas the demonstration trefoil plot. Here, Empire and Viking birdsfoot trefoil were sown with Climax timothy The trefoil, at this time of the year, is out in bright, yellow flowers. Another test plot was sown with Ladino clover and trefoil, The Viking trefoil variety is exceptionally winter-hardy and will stand a great amount of water. One corner of the Dow field is flooded for a few days each spring, but the water did In the corn plots, visitors were shown weed control using atrazine. The results of using different types of fertilizers were demonstrated in the bar- ley secton. - Members of the Str'atford- Mitchell, and. Milver- ton 4-H grain clubs, and the Kirkton Forage. Club, attended. Women were shown slides and a film on home economics by Miss Mary Lou Black, Perth County home economist. New- ton Ashton, Perth agricultural representative, was in charge of the tour, and J, E. French, president of the soil and crop improvement association, wet- corned the visitors. ViewAngus beef at Crocker farm Stephen 4-H beef calf club judged Angus cattle on the farm of G, K. Crocker, RR 1 Hay, during their July meeting, Summer assistant Morris Hoff explained some points on beef feeding to the 10 members who were present, along with two visitors. Bus trip to the Midland dis- trict on Tuesday, July 17, was discussed. Showmanship will be the topic of the club's next meeting, August 13, at Credi- ton town hall President. Emerson Gill thanked Mr. and Mrs. Crocker for the use of their facilities and the lunch, New road superintendent for Hay township is its popular for- mer deputy-reeve, Karl HO. ever, who resigned his position from council to take the post Mr, Haberer began his duties Monday at the rate of $1.15 per hour, succeeding James Masse, who has been superintendent for nearly 20 years. Serving first as councillor and more recently as deputy- reeve, Mr. Haberer led the polls in several elections and has been active on a number of county council committees, in. eluding the health unit. Ws position on council will he filled by the remaining mem- hers of council who must ap- point one of their number dep- uty-reeve. They will then have to appoint a ratepayer to fill the vacant council seat, Report violations Violations of the now build- ing bylaw in Hay township were reported to council last week by the newly-appointed building inspector, William Clarke. Council requested Zurich Hardware. and Builders' Supply Ltd. to comply with the build- ing regulations in the future after the inspector said that a cottage erected by the firm did tay FLORENCE ELLIOTT Huron FA Secretary Changes in workman's act Farmers who employ hired help either full-time or season- ally, should pay particular at- tention to recent amendments to the regulations under the Workmen's Compensation Act of Ontario. Sections 11-a to 20 of Regula- tion 571 of the act have been altered in such a way as to make it necessary for an em- ployer of five or less workers to provide a first aid box con- taining certain specific items, and to maintain it in a readily accessible place, He is also obliged to see that this first aid box is in the care of one of his employees who is conversant with first aid, and works in the vicinity of the box. The first aid kit shall contain a first aid manual, scissors, safety pins, antiseptic, and a number of stated types of ban- dages and dressings, including a triangular bandage, Persons employing more than five per- sons are required to provide a much larger first aid kit, the contents of which are also spelled out in the regulation. As more and more .farmers turn to hired help an either a seasonal basis, or a full-time basis, it is imperative that they recognize these requirements that are spelled out under the workmen's compensation act, However, over and above . the fact that such is required, it would seem good common sense not. have the proper footing. He said the building was sitting on concrete slabs but should have been sitting on footings at least .three feet in the ground. at was later reported that a qualified construction engineer had approved the plan for the footings.) TO, Clarke also revealed that an addition to a cottage was being built of cement blocks without any kind of foundation. The inspector was instructed to have footings dug for the struc- ture. Council decided to have copies of the bylaw printed to give to every applicant for a building permit. Mr. Clarke was appointed trench and excavation inspector for the township, Approve Federation levy Acting on a written request from Hay Federation of Agri- vulture, council agreed to levy two-fifth of a mill membership levy on all farmers unless they ask to have the levy taken off their tax notices, Council stipulated that the Federation executive must, con- tact those people who did not pay the rate last year that they must, make their request. before September 1 this year • that farmers have such first aid kits available for the benefit of their hired help. their families, and themselves. First aid is nn substitute for farm safety, but we must be re• alistic and recognize that acei• dents do happen, Proper emer- gency care may save a limb and even a life. Changes in demerit system Farm people as drivers autos and trucks should acquaint themselves with the changes in Ontario's driver demerit sys- tem introduced recently and coming into effect on July 1, 1962. Nine new offenses have been added to the list for which demerits may be assessed. The minister of transport, Hon. Mr. Rowntree, has stated that it is not the purpose of the regula- tions to carry out wholesale withdrawal of driving privileges. but .rather to make all motor- ists better drivers. Wheat exports hit snag Export demand for Canadian grains has apparently dropped in recent weeks and some con- cern is being expressed at the rate of movement of grain out of the Lakehcad. As at June 6, stocks of wheat were 5.6 millions bushels coin• pared to 43.0 million a year ago. but lake shipments for the week were down to 2.9 million for the same week last year. Lake shipments of all grains from the Lakehead for the week were S.0 million bushels, and 12.4 million a year ago. Council instructed Clerk H, W, Brolcerishire to prepare a list of those property owners who have requested that their school Assessments be. changed from public to separate support. The list will he turned over to the assessor to, deal with according to regulations. Accept petition Council accepted a petition for drainage from Herbert Neeb owner of con. 8, lot 18, 50 acres, and Edward Schroeder, con. 8 W 1/2 of S4,.z lot 10, 25 acres. Engineer C. P. Corbett,. Lucan, was authorized to make a survey and prepare a report. Two parties were at the coun- cil meeting to present subdivi- sion plans along 'the lake, One plan was presented for the Jet- frey and Mernovidge sub-divi- sion behind the farm of Leon. Bedard, and the other was for a Bauman sub-division behind the property of Victor Masse, Both plans were approved and the go-ahead was given by the council, In both cases they picked out the lot they wanted for their green area. An agreement has been reached between the village of Zurich and the Township of Hay whereby the township holds two-thirds equity in the Corn- munity Centre, and the village holds one-third. All expenses are to be shared on the same ha.sis. Approval of the change in ownership was received from the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture, who supervise such transactions. A letter was read from the Bank of Montreal informing the council of an increase. in inter- est rate from 51.2 percent, to 6 per cent. Next meeting will he held Wednesday, August 1, at 8 p.m. • -7 Road sup't Karl Haberer has been appoint- ed road superintendent of Hay township. succeeding James Masse, who held the post for nearly 20 years.
