A GOOD START RAISE MONEY The means of attaining the money to carry on these aims of the plan will come from a 2C fee on all fowl sold by producers to processors. Broadfoot explained this was about the only way the plan could be operated to include all pro- ducers of eggs and fowl, as it was too difficult to make a de- duction on eggs with so many small producers operating. He estimated the 2C deduction on fowl would realize approxi- mately $100,000 per year for the use of implementing the aims of the plan. Pointing out the need for the plan—besides the obvious one of increasing the producers' income—he said the consump- tion of eggs and poultry had to SHUR-GAIN Creep Feed and Super Pig Starter get pigs off to a good start.

County representatives are Reeve Stewart Procter; Reeve Kenneth Stewart, McKillop, and deputy reeve Robert Gibson, of Howick. Mr. Miles is secre- tary, and there will be repre- sentatives from the Federation of Agriculture, Soil and Crop Improvement Association, Far- mers' Union, Maitland Conser- vation Authority, Women's In- stitute, Mid-Western Develop- ment Association, and Chamber of Commerce. "We were led to believe in Toronto," said Mr. Procter, "it was mandatory we should set up an ARDA committee. Some people have the Idea there might be overlapping, but I believe under the ARDA com- mittee we bring the various organizations together under one head, and then they can study the needs of Huron county, not only from the rural stand- point but the standpoint of vil- lages and towns." Miles admitted he was "not 100% sold on ARDA and what it can do," but had kept an open mind. Announcing a GODERICH Farmers in Huron are paying up to 25% interest on money borrowed for farm equipment and other purposes and in the opinion of one member of county council "too much for the farm budget". The subject intruded during presentation of the agricultural committee's report presented by Reeve Stewart Proctor, of Morris, chairman. Young farmers especially are taking on crushing burdens, it was felt. The maximum ob- tainable by government loan has been increased, but the time taken in processing is said to be sending applicants to the fi- nance companies. Reeve Donald McKenzie, Ashfield, triggered the debate. Remarking that young farmers starting up can get credit up to $40,000, he said: "We have a high standard of living in North America ' and I cannot see how we can hope to get too much for our products, and how young farmers ever hope to carry on with credit like that I do not know. Probably ARDA might do something to help." Doug Miles, county agricul- tural representative, had the floor at the time, speaking to the committee report. "It has been reported to me," he said, "that there has been $75,000 of farm machinery sold in the Clinton area in the past three weeks at 22% interest. I had a man in yesterday who had purchased $3,200 of farm machinery on farm finance, and I asked him why he did not get it at 6%. "This subject is bothering us. Most people do not know what interest they are paying. Six per cent down and so much a month, and a $6,000 tractor in five years amounts to $9,500." Miles started back on the track, to talk about a new type of cutworm, but Reeve Ernest Snell, East Wawanosh, had got interested in the high-interest theme. "In the last 18 months or two years, especially," he said, "the rate of finance is terrific, and new companies are getting into the field. On the farm they are paying about three times the rate they should be paying. Why they don't use the bank niore, I suppose, is that they have to have more money at the bank to buy cattle and .conduct opera- tions. Some are paying 20 to 25%. It is too much for the farm budget." Warden Jewell: "This is something that ought to be in- Vestiga.ted." Miles: "Ninety percent of my time Is being spent on farm fi- nance right now." Reeve Milton Oesch, Zurich: "The same thing applies in towns and villages, People have furniture, cars and even homeS on finance. Would ARDA be in- Volved in that as well?" It does not mean 'agriculture' but a chinery shop or grocery store is going to come out of your township, what effect could this have upon employment over the area. Some of these things may require study some help, some money, some research. "Someone made a statement a while ago that by 1975 we may change from 121,000 farmers down to 35,000 in Ontario: This is how fast this agricultural program is moving. We hope some of these things do not happen, but we know there are going to be changes. "All right then, we should have a group that can assist and be a go-between with pro- vince and Dominion in any prob- lems that might affect Huron, whether human or economic. If this area wants some money under ARDA, the county coun- cil would be involved to a cer- tain extent also 25% locally. "While we may not visualize the intended workings of ARDA —because I cannot — we have to have an open mind, andfore- sight that a committee should be established." Deputy reeve Carl Dalton said an unofficial survey in Hullett had shown 1,000 acres available for community pasture at $50, and asked what price would be considered. "I am doubtful if you could get the land you have in mind at $50," said Mr. Miles, "be- cause it has changed hands. There are areas not too far from here, but the land has to be bought at a price it can be fitted for cattle —$3.50 per head per acre, or in some cases $4. If we pasture only two per acre, you cannot pay too much, with the cost of supervision, and compete with private en- terprise." Murray Gaunt, member for Huron-Bruce, was invited by the warden to address council. He said that ARDA, as set up in initial stages, did not in- volve the local people enough. "We are trying to involve local people," he said, "and in any of these projects work With the local people, which is the proper procedure. "In a number of cases people are told they cannot make a living in a certain wayor place. ARDA in its original concept can go a long way in rural de- velopment and redevelopment, but it does mean an organiza- tion." BIG PRICE REDUCTION %E\110 A WATER PROBLEM "Like the rest of you," he said, "I am unfamiliar with it, but I do not knoat that we as citizens can afford to sit by and not prepare ourselves for eventualities. This is going to be like farm safety, emergency measures and other things we are doing for the betterment of the county. "At the moment, water is probably one of our prime re- quisites. We have run out of application forms for far m ponds. Legislation has come in offering farm people up to $500 for farm ponds, and I don't just know how we are going to handle the situation, we have so many requests. "It may be that farm ponds may have to come under this ARDA program. It may be that the shallow well in Huron is out. I was on a farm where they are on their third drilling and can- not seem to find a well that will give them the require-. ments. Huron county egg and poultry producers have their second chance next Week to .decide if they want Aproposedmgriseting plan adopted by the Ontario FFtrta Products Marketing Board,. They will go to the polls Jame 22 to, 26 to cast their ballots on the .a.oheroe,, meetings on the, earee. were held throughout Ontario earlier this Year by the Market, ing Board after the Ontario Poultry producers Association had requested a marketing plan be instituted on atWoeyear trial basis without a vote of the pro- ducers, However, about only 10% of the preducers turned put at the various meetings, and while most appeared tin favor of the plan, the ruling was handed down by the department of agri- culture that not enough interest had been shown to warrant im- plemeetation of the plan without a vote of the producers. On the vote next week, two— thirds of those who vote must be in favor of the plan. Bob Broadfoot, Brucefield, a director on the Ontario poul- try Producers Association not- ed the vote would be of prime importance in Huron, as it ranks first in the province in egg producing. Although he stated he had no idea of how many producers would be eligible, figures show more than 2,000,000 chickens— about 8% of the Ontario chicken population—are raised in the county. In supporting the market plan, Broadfoot sta0 d "we have to start somelaelere' , adding that producers were now "lucky" to get an average of 200 a dozen for their eggs. The cost of production, he stated, Is close to 30. Broadfoot admitted there may have to be changes made in the plan if it is approved, but noted this was the same position the hog producers were in as they had to work on a trial and error basis when they started.
