B. WILLIAMS 235.2597 Exeter act on the request. The Marketing plan on turnips is recommended to raise funds to promote increased =sump- tion of turnips in Ontario and the U.S.A. Funds would be made available under the plan for advertising and promotional work. Funds would also be avail- able for research, both scien- tific and market, on any prob- lems affecting turnip produc- tion or marketing. It was emphasized that the plan would not be set up to negotiate prices or c o nt r o 1 acreage or production. "The aim of the recommend- ed plan is to enable growers of turnips to help their own in- dustry," it was stated. If 15% of the growers sign the petition, it would then have to be voted on by all growers and would require approval by two-thirds of all growers before coming into effect. Representatives from the turnip section of the Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Associa- tion will be present at the Exeter meeting to explain de- tails and to answer questions.
