Page Tirnes-Advocate, May 18, 1967 Area farmers off to Ottawa Outline requests for march' people hospital Carmel confined to Several farmers from Huron are expected among those from the Federation of Agriculture and Farmers' Union planning a march on Ottawa, May 24. What will they be asking for? Well, detailed below is a press release detailing the plans of the Ottawa march committee: When we go on the great march to Ottawa .May 24, we will be making specific proposals to the government about what we —the farmers of Eastern Canada — want for our industry. Here isan outline of what we will be asking for. If the minister had known what he was getting into when he an- nounced the dairy policy, he would have given us $5 milk right from the start. He did not, however, have the benefit of hindsight. (And some people would say he didn't have the benefit of much foresight either.) So he went ahead at the end of March and announced the 1967-68 dairy policy. This is one of the criticisms the farm organizations have had of the policy: it was announced when it was too late for anyone to do any planning to meet it, The rest of the criticisms are of the policy itself. It does not provide the $5 a hundredweight the farmers need to produce in- dustrial milk. The level is instead $4.'75, less 11 cents for an export subsidy. More than twenty relatives of Mrs. Laura Glavin called and visited with her on Mother's Day in St. Joseph's Hospital. Mr. and. MIS, David .011Ites, Clair Shores, Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Wilkes, London, Mr, Ronnie Hajas, London, spent Mother's Day with Mr. and Mrs. Raul flajas. Mr. Paul Dietrich and Richard Trainor, London, spent the week- end at their parents' home. Producers shipping any part of their milk to the bottle trade were suddenly and without any warning cut off from a subsidy on their industrial shipments. Quotas were frozen at last year's production levels, victim- izing the producer who had ex- panded his herd, The policy continued to dis- rimiaate against cream ship- pers. It has since become obvious that the minister did not know what was in the policy when he an- nounced it to the house, It was put together for him at the last minute by the bureaucrats in the dairy commission. Now that the minister has taken time to study the policy, we are looking for a few improvements in it: * We want $5 a hundredweight, after the export subsidy is taken off. * We want industrial subsidies DOUGLAS RUSSELL , . . WOAS graduate restored for fluid shippers. • NiVe want the quota structure changed to encourage herd en- largement. • We want a skim milk subsidy for cream shippers. As well as a square deal for the country's dairy farmers, the marchers who go to Ottawa will want a coherent, comprehensive, long-range program for all of agriculture. This is the broader purpose of the march: to get from the government something better than the haphazard mishmash of plans and programs that we have right now, The farmers in the march will want a publicly stated policy for agriculture. This would include a set of goals. All government programs would be set up to achieve these goals. Rarely if ever has this gov- ernment or any of its predeces- sors stated any such goals in any but the fuzziest way. The farm- Area youths pass course UCW at Kirkton told of citizenship Two area students were among the '74 members of this year's graduating class from the West- ern Ontario Agricultural School in Ridgetown. Paul Wallis, Granton and Doug- las Russell, Dashwood, were the successful candidates for dip- lomas in the two-year course. Four district students were among those successfully com- pleting the first year of th e course. They were Neil McAllister, Centralia; James Neil, Exeter; Robert McDonald, Exeter; and Earl French, Lunen. McAllister stood sixth in the large class, while Neil was in 12th position. By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS KIRKTON Each of the members brought a guest to the I7CW meeting held Wednesday evening May 10 in the church basement. Mrs. Ray paynter was in charge of the worship service. Mrs. Fred Loft of St. Marys and Robert Ratcliffe of Ander- son favored with two violin duets. Mrs. Ross Crosby of St. Marys was guest speaker and spoke on Citizenship. Miss Joan Switzer sang two solos. A social time concluded the meeting. ers have reason to suspect that in fact there are none. We have a right to know what will happen to our industry and how govern- ment programs will affect it. And we have a right to know this far enough in advance that we can act in terms of these goals. This advance planning cannot be for just a few months or a year. It must cover the future of farming for at least five years. Instead of this, all we have got in the past is a series of ad hoc plans and interim solutions, Almost invariably, they have been too little and too late to deal adequately with the farmers' problems. We don't want this kind of nonsense any more. We want forward planning from the gov- ernment that will let us, in turn, plan our businesses. We want a chance to take our rightful place in the Canadian economy. Among our specific requests are: * We want a realistic mini- mum level of income for agri- culture. * We want an aggressive pro- gram of export marketing. * We want a standard of liv- ing equal to comparable manag- ers in industry. * We want adequate provision for those moving off farms and those remaining. * We want stronger policy and action against corporate en- croachment into agriculture. * We want the government to pay the cost of the cheap food policy. * We want advance notice of changes in government programs that affect us. * We want to know the govern- ment's plans for land use. * We want to know the plans for import regulations and equal- ization subsidies. * We want, in fact, to have the policies that affect us drawn up in public where we can see them. When we make these requests MT. CARMEL Miss Goraldine Boland joined the large group of North Middle- sex District High School students on a bus trip to Montreal Expo 1967.

Paint fence at cemetery of the government May 24, we will not be speaking on behalf of any one organization or group of farmers. These requests cover the future and the well-being of each of us in the agriculture in- dustry. Word has already got back to the men on Parliament Hill about how many farmers are behind this action. The government has suddenly become a lot more sen- sitive to our suggestions. The more of us that turn out May 24, the more closely they will listen to us.

That's the comment of many large, successful growers of soybean and fieldbean crops, Treflan stops weeds before they start to grow by killing the weed seed as it germinates. The result, you get greater yielding crops be- cause there's more nutrients, moisture and light for your crops; less time-consuming harvesting stoppages caused by weeds; and more efficient use of fertilizer, For dependable weed control that helps you make more profit— contact Shamrock Chemicals Limited, London, Ontario, your exclusive Elanco distributor.
