Their goal is to get 20,000 acres of the beets grown this season. This is the acreage the Canada & Dominion Sugar Com- pany have to have to continue their operation. If they fail to get this acreage contracted by April 1, the firm plans to shut down its Chatham plant. Lloyd Lovell, Exeter, who ser- ves as Huron Director on the Marketing Board, reported this week the Canada & Dominion Sugar Company want to continue processing beets, but feel that the 20,000 acres is required to allow them to operate efficiently. They have spent over $1,500,- 000 in modernizing their plant to make it the most modern in North America, but due to dwind- Zurich OFU resolution By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Green- lee of Exeter were guests of honor at a dinner at the Dufferin House, Centralia, Saturday even- ing on the occasion of their fortieth wedding anniversary. Mrs. Greenlee, the former Vera Guilfoyle, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Guil- foyle, Ailsa Craig, and Raymond Greenlee, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. Greenlee, Brinsley, were united in marriage on March 16, 1927 in St. George's Anglican Church, London township, by the late Rev. Arthur Shore, assisted by Rev. George W. Moore, rec- tor of St. Mary's Church, Brins- ley. They farmed for three years in Usborne Township and then in Biddulph Township until 1964 when they sold their farm and retired to Exeter. They have one son, Earl, and two grandsons, Larry and Leslie. The table for the dinner was centered with an attractively dec- orated cake.

Call for new bean setup DESSERT EUCHRE Wednesday, March 15, the ladies of St. Patrick's Church sponsored a dessert euchre and bake sale in the parish hall with St. Patrick's day color scheme for decorations.

"The board has strived to make this crop a money maker and I believe we have succeeded," Mr, Lovell stated, adding they have worked with the stabilization board and the minister of agric- ulture to be guaranteed $15 per ton of standard beets for this year. Along with the extra extrac- tion of sugar through the com- pany's new defusors, 28 extra pounds of sugar from one ton of beets was realized. This could give a return well in excess of $16 per ton. Mr. Lovell added that beets can be entirely mechanized by space planting or mechanical thinning, sprayed for weeds and then mechanically harvested. In urging farmers in Huron to consider beet growing, he ex- plained the company makes equipment available for anyone wanting to grow beets. All that is required is a call to the local fieldman, Frank Huff, Exeter. At the present time, about 15,000 acres of beets have been contracted and Mr. Lovell said he hoped farmers would bring the total up to the r e qu ired 20,000 acres before the April 1 deadline. He said arrangements have been worked out for growers to receive most of the crop re- turns in the fall payment. Bean Marketing Board: 1. Supervise the grading and testing of beans. 2. Use a system of initial and final payments. 3. If necessary, introduce a system of delivery quotas. After the resolution was pass- ed, Charles Rau, chairman of the Bean Producers' Co-op, was asked to say a few words. He said there wouldn't be any Michigan foundation Seaway seed coming to Canada this year, but that farmers would be able to get foundation Sanilac seed. At the time of the meeting, he did not know the price of seed. White beans constituted the main topic at the Monday meet- ing of the Zurich local of the Ontario Farmers' Union. Guest speaker was Bob Allen, Bruce- field, chairman of the Ontario Bean Board and he told the gath- ering of some 200 farmers about his recent trip to Great Britain. He visited most bean brokers and canners and learned they believed there could be much improvement in the Canadian bean marketing system. Allen stated that if Ontario producers had an agency type marketing board farmers could have made more money in the past two years. He also spoke of the great strength of the Farmers' Union in Great Britain.

He also stated that member- ship fees are much higher than in Canada, but their benefits are also much greater. You can't expect $100 worth of service from 10 cents, he told the farmers. After his address, a resolution was presented and it carried with 100 percent approval. It was as follows: Whereas some farmers do not get equal market price for equal quality beans, and Whereas there are some dis- crepancies in grading and test- ing beans, and Whereas there are not storage facilities to purchase all beans at once to insure equal price for quality, and Whereas many members are bean growers and contribute a considerable amount of money toward the marketing of their product, and Whereas the Bean Producers' Marketing Board has no control of the product until the dealers declare a surplus, Therefore be it resolved that the Zurich Local 206 of the O.F.U. supports an agency type plan for white beans.
