shippers support their market-

of 3/10e per lb, butterfat
which would be about 1/3 of
l'% of the value.
The overall plan allows for
levies only on milk for the
fluid trade and milk sold for
manufacturing, i.e. c on c e n-
trated milk products. It will
not provide for levies on cheese
milk shippers who will . conti-
nue to contribute to their own

or on cream shippers.
The stabilization or equaliza-
tion fund will he used to pay
more money to shippers of top
quality milk (Grade AA) who
are not selling to the fluid
trade, and therefore not getting
top prices. Amounts of equali-
zation payments will depend on
funds available.
This fund wilt also be used
to move and increase sales of
milk and milk products in both
domestic and export markets.
Monies from this fund as well
as those from the administra-
tion fund may be used for pro-
motion although the plan sug-
pests that funds for advertis.
ing. sales promotion, research
and other activities in that
general area would come main-
ly from the stabilization fund.
Representatives of nearly 100
member organizations within
the Ontario Fedei:ation of Agri-
culture were given a preview
of the. new milk marketing
plan at their members' meet-
ing in Toronto Thursday, July
12.
The plan was presented Le
the OFA meeting by Emerson
Farnsworth, Huntsville, chair-
man of the provisional milk
marketing board and Harold
Martin, secretary of the Ontario
milk producers co - ordittating
board.
"We are not here at this
time to seek OFA approval of
this plan" said Mr. Farns-
worth, "but we have always
felt that before we embarked
on our campaign to have the
Plan approved by producers,
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture should be. given an op-
portunity to give it close
study,"
The new plan, drafted by the
provisional nl i 1 k marketing
board, sets as a goal the
ectealizetion of returns to the
producers of quality milk, the
establishment of a stabilization
fund and a closer degree of
co-operation among all dairy
producers.
"We want to make it clear
at this time that this is not
au Ontario government plan",
said Me, Farnsworth, "this is
a producer plan drafted by
representatives of our pro-
ducer organizations and we are.
tonfident it will benefit all
producers."
Free trade could hurt
Thedelegates spent some
time d iscussing the subject of
freer trade and a resolution
was drafted which will be pre-
seated at the semi -annual
'Meeting of the Canadian Fed-
eration of Agriculture later
this month.
This resolution recognized
that Ontario agriculture had
many specific products which
could be =tidy harmed by a
free trade policy, On the 4other
hand,. however, it would ap
pear to be in the interests of
society. to follow a policy
expanding trade,
A number of resolutions were
approved by the members.
One of these called upon the
Ontario government to set up
a special branch within the
department of agriculture to
administer the agricultural re-
habilitation and development
act, Others called, for closer
scrutiny over community auc-
tion sales by the department:
a close and complete study of
the factors involved in annexa-
tion and the elimination of
mail votes, on commodity mar-
keting plans.
Losses from livestock dis-
eases stimulated two other re-
solutions, one calling for fede,
rat compensation on stock lost
through leptospirosis, and the
other asking for measures to
control and eliminate Johnes
disease.
The meeting also approved a
Durham county resolution
which asked Ontario Hydro to
retain responsibility for the
maintenance and replacement
of service breakers in the rural
hydro system.

There has been a great need
for such a publication as more
farm people are required to use
Ontario's roads and highways
in the ordinary course of move-
ment from farm to farm, About
one year ago the Ontario Fed-

ment of Transport to compile
this information and they are
extremely happy that Mr.
Rowntree's department has seen
fit to acknowledge this request.
"Farm implements on. Ontario

pamphlet, It, spells out the re-
quirements of 'the traffic act of
Ontario as it has to do with the

and tractors on highways.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture is prepared to as-
sist in every way possible in the
distribution of "farm imple-

Lion and perhaps never.
For example, the board will
have the authority to direct all
milk and cream marketed in
the province and collect the
money for it from processors
and distributors, However, the
producers' provisional board
that drew up the plan states
emphatically that there is no
intention of upsetting the pres-
ent system of getting milk to
market or of paying for it.
The plan would allow 'the
board to appoint processors,
distributors and manufacturers
as agents for the collection of
licence fees and levies. Pay-
ment 'to producers can continue
as at present, except that what-
ever licence fees and levies are
decided upon may be deducted
by the authorized person who
buys the farmers' milk.
All persons producing and
handling milk will be licenced.
Producers are deemed to have
a licence if they sell milk. This
is a legal technicality so that
fees and levies may be collect-
ed—it does not mean that pro-
ducers will have to apply for a
licence, but everybody else will.
The provisional board also
says the power of direction will

where to sell or processors
where to buy. If the industry
can be helped by diverting a
surplus from one place to an-
other, the hoard has the power
to do so. Or if five trucks are
picking up milk along the same
4sideroad and more efficient
service can be provided by
same direction, it can be done.
As far as fluid milk is con-
cerned, the regulations provide
that 'the only purpose for which
at can be directed is to supply
adequate amounts of milk to
distributors for plant require-
ments.
