Charles Munro made the com- ment following an announcement that the CanadiannairyCommis- SMILE! efte4 •aae arektee aa isteadPut ea& Soma qateue sion "has been authorized by the government to consider applica- tions for supplementary quota" for milk subsidies for the current dairy year. The announcement, in a release from the office of J.J.

THOMPSON & SONS LIMITED HENSALL A tough decision Tracey, the four month old daughter of Private and Mrs. John King of London seems to be unable to make up her mind on whether to blow or eat her father's bugle in the above picture, Private King was the bugler for the Memorial service at St. James Cemetery in Clandeboye, Sunday. T-A photo said the new quotas will be "to adjust serious inequities which would result" from the present quota policy. Mr. Munro says the announce- ment "seems on first reading, to give some help to dairy far- mers caught by the original dairy policy," But, he says, further study shows "there are so many con- ditions, reservations, and escape clauses, that the whole thing winds up meaning nothing." Mr. Munro says the statement shows "an utter disregard for the requests of the marching far- mers' only two weeks ago, for responsible agricultural plan- ning." "We told the government what we needed," he says. "This latest statement just plays with the fringes of our requests." He says the only exception is that cream shippers will not have to have a minimum produc- tion of 50,000 pounds to get a subsidy next year. The state- ment says there "would be con- sultation with producer organ- izations" about what this mini- mum amount should be. The statement says the com- mission would continue its policy that quotas of producers who sold their herds could be re-allocated to the people purchasing them. It says, however, that nothing can be done at the moment through re-allocation to help the farmer who increased the size of his op- eration just before the dairy poli- cy, with its restrictions, was an- nounced. Help through re-allocatibn is also not available at the moment, according to the statement, for the farmer whose production was seriously below normal last year because of problems beyond his control, like drought. In the meantime, it says, the commission now has the power to issue supplementary quotas in these cases. The statement says the commission expects some unused quotas will be available at the end of the year for allo- cation to these producers "in justifiable cases," Mr. Munro says the statement "sets no criteria of what con- stitutes 'justifiable cases.' The minister has once again left the farmers at the whim of the civil servants and their means tests, He also says the statement is "just an enticement to the man who has already been cheated by the dairy policy," "There's nothing in that state- ment to guarantee t h e com- mission won't tell him after his application is processed, 'Sorry, there isn't any quota available for you.'" Plan crop program at Ridgetown school Are weeds choking your corn and cereal grain crops? R.H. Brown, head of the biology division will talk on the chemical weed insect control programs being tried at the school. Dr. C.S, Baldwin, head of the soil division has many tests on profitable fertilizer programs. Fall fertilization, continuous corn and high fertility programs have all been tried at W.O.A.S. The latest field tests will be shown on the tour. The program will start at 1:30 D.S. T, each day and tractor trains will leave the livestock pavilion at regular intervals from 1:30 to 4:30 each day. Rain delays bean seeding Profit from crop productions starts with the seed and this will be demonstrated at some 500 farmers who are expected to attend the Western Ontario Ag- ricultural School's Soil & Crop Days, to be held July 12, 13 and 14. "Corn varieties are changing all the time" points out A.D. McLaren, head of the W.O.A.S. crops division, ,,and it pays to keep up with the latest develop- ments in variety selection". Good seed selection can give a corn grower an extra $10.00 or more in profits per acre. Crop variety comparisons, row width and plant populations are among some of the important tests to be shown during Soil & Crop Days. The plot tours will also cover the test work being done with chemical weed and insect con- trol and soil fertility programs.
