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 marketing boafkl as at present 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. Live By FLORENCE ELLIOTT. Federation Secretary Huron County Federation of Agriculture held its fifth an- nual worship service Sunday, July a at the Salvation Army Camp two miles north of Rays field, where some 170 people at- tended. Captain Newman. of 'the ham Branch of the Salvation Army had charge of the service and took his text from the Book of Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 24 and 33, "Ye cannot serve God and mammon, seek ye first the kingdom of God". The Salvation Army band was also in attendance consisting of fifteen members, they rendered several delightful band num- bers. Miss Mary Lou Hollinbeek of Wingliam sang two solos. President Elmer Ireland said a few words of welcome and thanked all those who helped make the Worship Service pas- sible. The lady directors helped serve a picnic lunch and re- freshments. The children were provided with chocolate 'milk. Reservations were made to hold the service at the same place next year. New implement rules Farm implements on Ontario highways. — This is a pamph- let that every farmer in Ontario should secure and 'read closely in his own interests. This pamphlet has just been released Tour farms on Tuesday Twilight meeting of the Hur- on Soil and Crop Improvement Ass'n will take the form of a tour of four. Zurich area farms Tuesday, July 24, it was an- nounced this week by Douglas Miles, county ag rep, The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at the farm of Glen Weido, Parr Line, where farmers will be shown test plots in oats. At the farm of Ian McAllister, also on the Parr Line, the as- sociation's research work in beans will be explained, The tour will visit corn plots on the farm of Delbert Geiger, No, 84 highway and then finish up on the farm of Leonard Mei.- ner, concession 15. Highway signs will direct area farmers to the tour loca- tion's, kilde Machinery Company. Mel Alderson of Ontario Hy- dro accompanied the group and spoke on the more efficient use of hydro on the farm. by the Ontario Department of Transport. 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- eration requested The Depart- 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 highways" is a pocket-sized pamphlet, It, spells out the re- quirements of 'the traffic act of Ontario as it has to do with the movement; of farm machinery and tractors on highways. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is prepared to as- sist in every way possible in the distribution of "farm imple- ments on Ontario highways." These pamphlets can be ob- tained from the county federa- tion of agriculture secretaries. It is urgently requested that all farmers acquire one of these booklets. It may save a life and that life. may be yours, Read rules OPP urge 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 not he used to tell producers 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. Financed in two ways The milk marketing board will be financed in two ways; load exceeds the However, at: present the only suggestion to implement this latter power is a penalty of up to 75 cents per cwt. on surplus fluid milk. This money would go into the stabilization fund. Quota principles as outlined call for control of' all fluid milk quotas and, bases at plant requirements in 1961; increase in sales to go to quotas for new producers qualifying as Grade AA to start at 300 lbs, per day which will eventually become the minimum for all fluid shippers; t r a n s f er of quotas as well as adjustments and allotments under control of the board; all Grade AA to share in fluid milk. sales on a blended basis within two years, and introduction of quotas for concentrated and cheese milk shippers as required, e d Fertilizer's LIMITED Will Be CL 'SED For Holidays From July 21 to August 7 OF re resentatives get milk plan preview By IAN McALL1STER Interest was high in farm grain and feed handling sys- tems as the directors of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association and their guests visited industry and farms on. their annual bus trip Monday.
