Huron hog producers, hoping to secure a FAME plant in the county, would like to double the investment of county 'farmers in the meat processing co-op Hur- on Federation of Agriculture directors learned Tuesday night. Alex McGregor reported on the sod-turning ceremony near Ayr Wednesday for the first FAME plant and noted that Huron now has $53,000 invested Hog producer committeemen from this area, along with hundreds of other farmers, at- tended the sod-turning cere- mony for FAME's new meat processing plant near Ayr Wed- nesday, "This is the biggest thing ever undertaken by farmers in Ontario," exclaimed Ross Love, Hay township representative and past president of Huron county producers. "We believe it marks the beginning of a new and better era for live- stock producers," David Ireland, Teeswater, turned the first sod for the Plant, first of seven to be erected by FAME, He was se- lected because his FAME share certificate number is 1962—"a year of hope for Ontario live- stock producers," says FAME president, Charles McInnis, TIMELY TIPS New grain poisoning is al- ways a threat each fall, warn poultry specialists with the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, As a precaution, it is not ‘,186 to feed new wheat about November, and then start off With not over lot`;,, then gradu- ally increase if no harmful effects are toted. in. FAME, He said the commit- tee hoped to double this amount in the hopes that a plant will be located in Huron. Bob McGregor, speaking for the beef producers, noted that the organization would soon be called the Ontario Beef Im- provement Association, Ile re- vealed that Toronto recently had sold cattle at 38c per hundred, the highest price in the world. The hog producers' president, Ab Bacon, regretted his report The ceremony was watched by several hundred of the thousands of Ontario farmers who have contributed $100 each toward the co-operative enter- prsie. Also invited were local dignitaries and provincial po- litical leaders. The speaker was J, A. Cour; teau, Montreal, who manages a giant farmer-owned meat proeessing organization in Quebec.. Construction of the Ayr plant is expected to be completed next year and an advertising program to gain consumer ac, ceptance will be in the plan- ning stage shortly„ FAME was set up nearly two years ago to give Ontario farmers some control over mar- keting their livestock. For years they have .maintained that high costs and low market prices are squeezing their mar- gins. Last year, average in- come per farm in Eastern Canada was only 32,549, ac. cording to the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics—and that was a better - than average year. They hope FAME will improve their position, Among the committeemen from this area who attended that more information hadn't been made available about the ban being lifted on hog cholera so that more hogs would have been shown at county fairs.

Why farmers leave: in the past two decades there has been a heavy migration. of farmers from the land all across the North American con- tinent, In Alberta alone, the number of farms has dropped. from close to 100,000 in 1041 to a little over 73,000 at the time of the last census in 1001. In view of this big reduction in farm numbers, a survey as to why farmers leave the land conducted in Illinois is of par- ti3etllai. rng interest. In 1960 and farmers who were quittin g "arming, 1961, researchers questioned no One-third of them said the fi- uncial squeeze between rising GB to study fire alarm Grand Bend council is invest- gating the establishment of a fire alarm system to operate hrough the new dial telephone exchange being installed in the village and surrounding area. Because there will be no tele- phone operators on the exchange when dial system comes into effect, some arrangement will have to be made for receiving the emergency calls formerly handled by the girls on the switchboard. Council, which met Monday night, decided to call in Harold Zehr, foreman of the Hay Mutu- al. Telephone System, to discuss the situation at its next meet- ing. Also in regard to fire protec- tion, council instructed Clerk Murray Des Jardins to advise the fire department that only one vehicle is to leave Grand Bend on out-of-town calls. This action was taken after it was learned that the brigade took out both vehicles on a recent call. Call sidewalk tenders Council decided to call for tenders for the installation of some 50 feet of sidewalk in front of the addition to Grand Bend public school, The work was re- quested by the school board, which also asked for repairs to existing sidewalk in the area. In other business, Grand Bend council: Authorized the road committee to purchase more snow fence for the beach to prevent drift- ing of sand on the road and to secure sufficient marl for work on Kitchener street; Requested the clerk to con- tact Bell and Latighton, Exeter lawyers, to determine the prog- ress being made on the clarifi- cation of ownership of certain lands on the south side of the Ausable River and the prepara- the most. important reason why Costs and declining prices was they had de'ulded to quit.

Keep at the thistles During the busy harvest sea- son farmers are urged not to neglect the control of Canada and perennial sow thistle, Cul- tivation should continue until freeze-up but if time is short due to the pressure of other work, the weeds can be kept under, control by an application of 16 ounces of 2, 4-D per acre. This costs about $1.00 an acre and will keep thistles in check by stopping them from setting seed and preventing them from manufacturing and storing food reserves for maintenance and growth.
