SIIDHS teacher Andrew Di- xon, who Operates an orchard. in McGillivray township, agreed to give up his shares in the Middlesex Growers co-opera- tive Ltd., Strathroy, in an out- of-court settlement endorsed OY county court Tuesday. In the settlement, Mr, Dixon also agreed to pay the co-op's legal fees, However, the co-op dropped demands for a $3,Q00 penalty payment. The co,operative launced the action after the area grower sold his 1961 apple crop outside co-op's market ing facilities. Dixon sold his crop "off the trees" due to ill health at the time. In its statement of claim, the co-op said Mr. Dixon had agreed in 1950 to deliver all his marketable apples to the as- sociation for sale between 1950 and 1955. After that time the agreement was continued on a year to year basis until 1962. The co-operative, which fur- nishes storages and marketing facilities for the fruit crops of its members, contended the op- eration is economical only if all its members avail themselves of its facilities. Five shares in the co-op were relinquished as the result of the settlement and Mr. Dixon was assessed the costs of the action by Judge J. D. McCallum. Lawyer for the Co-op, was E. A. Cherniak, of London, Repre- sentint Mr. Dixon was Charles MacKenzie, of London. plans, and other related 'afar- matiOn of all industries in the four zones. The directory will be cross- indexed.

The association iscomprised of four zones, Perth, Huron, Water 1 oo and. Wellington. It weathered a troubled year. Lack of sufficient funds, the resignation of several munici- palities, and an apparent lack of interest on the part of some of the zone members curtailed some work and what was under- taken suffered set-backs, Mr. Goebel said. The general manager said he was departing from the usual type of report, "where every- body is patted on the back" and instead gave what he felt were "some of the shortcom- ings of the association." Howard S. Smith, Kitchener, of Dryden and Smith planning consultants, gave a report on the second phase of a three- phase plan for the four zones. Phases one and two, the in- vestigation and collation of ba- sic facts have been completed. Phase three, arriving at con- clusions, publication, and dis- tribution of the information is the project to be completed, he said. The major portion of part two of the survey was the gathering of information about industry in the area. "More than 500 industrialists throughout the region were in- terviewed," Mr. Smith said. "And we encountered problems. It was difficult. All were busy, some were skeptical and some were downright fed-up because of thousands of requests for in- formation from other groups such as the government".

Plumbing, Heating. & Electrical PHONE 2944331 were particularly pleased with the statement of the minister in relating that export markets for many farm products, parti- cularly in the fruit and vege- table industry, had increased in many instances by over one hundred per cent. For instance, the export of onions increased in the last year from 120,000 50-lb bags to over 1,000,000 bags. Export of raw carrots increased from 2,000 bushels in 1961 to over 400,000 bushels for the 1962 crop. These are typical exam- ples of the enormous increase in the export of Ontario's fruit and vegetables. Cheese, of course, has been exported from Ontario in such enormous quantities that it would appear there would be a real shortage of cheese for ex- port purposes; indeed, repre- sentatives of the Ontario Cheese Producers' Marketing Boar d have informed the govern- ment--and this was expressed in the house--that we could al- most have doubled our exports of cheese from Ontario in 1962 had the cheese been available. The debate on the estimates of the dairy branch centred on the milk quality control pro- gram. General agreement was expressed that the quality of milk being produced on Ontario farina is of a high standard. In the presentation of the estimates of any department, but in particular the Depart- ment of Agriculture which af- fects such a wide diversity of activity throughout Ontario, a great deal of preparation is ne- cessary, not only by the mini- ster, but by all concerned in the department, in order that a reasonable presentation maybe made of the expenditure Of Pub- lic funds over the past year, as well as the estimated ex- Penditures for the service to be provided for the coming year. Ample opportunity is always given to all members of the house to express their interest and concern in the various mat- tern under debate. It might be Of interest to our local On- stittlents to know that the debate on the agricultural estimates continued for 12 hours, and co vered parts Of three days,This, of course, is not unusual for a department as large aS agricul. ture. When those charged With the responsibility bffiandling public funds' are called "Mee to report to the public On the stewardship Of these funds, it deinonstrates the deniocratic process in no- tiMi, a tradition and heritage Which we all 'should treasure. Of special importance to all rural Ontario people, and par- ticularly to those interested in agricultural education, was the announcement made by Prime Minister Roberts, of the ap- pointment of a committee to investigate the possibilities of determining university status for the Federated Colleges of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture at Guelph. Mr. Robarts stressed the im- portance of OAC, the Ontario Veterinary College and Mac- donald Institute; he made it abundantly clear that the em- phasis on agricultural education at university level would be maintained under the new pro- posed university establishment at Guelph. For some time in- terest has been shown by the alumni of the Colleges in crea- ting a university on the Guelph campus. Indeed, many private citizens, not only in Guelph but throughout the province, have felt that, if university status could be obtained, it would do a great deal to enhance the pres- tige and value of the college and its many courses. We are pleased to note that the prime minister and the go- vernment are placing increased emphasis on the importance of agricultural education and that they intend to maintain the scientific research aspects of this important industry in the proposed new university setup. This will be welcome news to everyone associated with the agricultural industry in Onta- rio. This week, your local mem ber, as minister, presented the estimates of the Ontario De- partment Of Agriculture for the. consideration of the house. The Midget of the Department amounts to $18,863,000 and deals with all aspects of agri- cultural activity within the pro- vince: SpeCial emphasis in the de- bates on the budget estimates centred around the services provided by the extension branch through our agricultural representatives, 'our hoMeedo- nomists and our extension en- gineers, as Well as all who are connected with the soils and crops branch.
