Han, W,A„ Steevart _hinted Tuesday at the opening of the department's Huron office in Clinton. The Agriculture minister suggested a review may he undertaken soon of the work belOg dope by county reprepen- tetiyes and extension spe- cialists to determine where the services to farmers can be improved. He elaborated on only one area during his speech— the work with press, radio and TV M. providing farmers with the latest developments in agricui, tare. "I think we can }eke A. look at this field to gee if there are not great possibilities for the furtherance of this type of worh.”- The minister cut the ribbon officially opening the Huron's new agricultural offices, pub- stittiting for Steve Stother s, •Luckno w, the county's first agriculture representative, who was to have done the honors. MieeStothers was unable to be present because of the wintry weather. Mr. Stewart said it would have been a history - making cere- enony—first in the department's records--had Mr. Stothers been able to be present, "Never be- fore in the history of the pro- vince have we had the' first ag rep of a county -open new offices in the same county 40 years later." The minister lauded the work Mr. Stewart said his own appreciatiert of extension per- vice name as a Praetical farmer in Middlesex, when he often con- suited Keith Riddell, that coun- ty's ag feu over his farm pro- blems. The approach of the practical farmer was the one he hoped to keep eiVermost in his job es head of the department, he stressed. "I believe that every- thing done in the name of a.gri- culture Mist be acceptable to the prectipal farmer or it is not worth doing". The minister emphasized the importance of the agriculture industry, pointing out that 40% pf Ontario's economy deals with farming in one way or another. Farmers, he said, used to be apologetic about their work: "We used to have an inferiority complex but there's nothing wrong with going out and saying, ,We're prpud to be farmers, part of one of our greatest industries' ". The minister cut the ribbon with a pair of gold-plated scis- sors presented by Hon. C.S. MacNaughton, Huron MPP and minister of highways. The blades will be inscribed with the names of both Mr. Sto- there and the present ag rep, Douglas Miles. INT/1•CDPVC.4 STAFF .
