It was difficult to tell wheth- er or not be was serious. The vote will be held on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday. On Tuesday, growers may vote LITTLE REACTION The small number of growers voicing opinions or asking ques- tions at the meeting made it im- possible to judge the general re- action to the agency plan. There was no informal vote taken and questions came from only five or six growers. How- ever, it was evident some were against the plan, while others were for it. One farmer thought the bean board could control acreage, but Allen explained they could only control marketing. The farmer replied that if he couldn't market the beans, there wasn't much sense growing them. However, Allen explained there wasn't much sense growing beans of a type that the industry would not buy and this was the reason why the ruling was in the plan. He indicated only one more girl would be required by the board to operate the plan, as most of the work would still be done by the dealers. He also suggested that if the plan doesn't go through, the board members may consider resign- 0.? • CREDITON SEPTEMBER 23 Christmas, another payment in the spring and the final payment before the end of the crop year on August 15, Allen said he hoped the new plan would work well with the dealers and indicated the board felt the $1.15 left them sufficient to make a profit to expand their facilities and keep them up to date. With the dealers being respon- sible for the beans because they had to pay for them, he said this "would keep them on their toes". Allen said there was no doubt but what there would be prob- lems, but said the advantages of the plan outweighed the prob- lems. Another member of the board, Bob McGregor, said the main purpose of the new plan is to get the beans on the market when they (brokers and canners) want them, "We can't better our price be- cause we're tied in with the U.S. price," he said. "If the U.S. sets the price, why do we need a marketing board?" questioned Kirkton area grower Clarence Hawkins. Hawkins said he couldn't see the new plan at all, noting that the hog marketing plan had shown to him there was no co-operation at all. "What are we getting for pigs today?" he questioned. "We're ashamed to tell each other," He said that when farmers joined the hog plan they were told supply and demand didn't matter. "Well, supply and demand is the whole thing — whether the bean board is in or out," he said. and that if farmers sold beans and the price went up, the farm- er didn't get any more. Under the agency plan, there would be no reason for farm- ers to keep beans back and they would be made available in the fall when the U,K. buyers want- ed them. With the pooling of prices, all farmers would receive equal pay- ment, although of course, this would not be as good for those farmers who in the past have managed to obtain a higher than average price for beans, "The dealers are no stronger than the weakest seller," Allen explained, adding that last year dealers were paying $7.70 for beans in the fall and ended up selling them at $7.80 when the price failed to increase later in the year. "We feel we could have got more for Ontario beans under a central agency last year," the bean board chairman reported. He said that in talks with can- ners and U.K. brokers, the bean board found that they wanted the beans in the fall, and under the new plan, beans would be avail- able. The growers were told they would receive $6.00 for their beans at the time of delivering them to the dealers. This was based on a price of $7.15 with the dealers receiving $1.15 of that for their work. He said the dealers could give growers 10 or 15 cents more if they wished, in an effort to in- crease their volume. U higher prices were receiv- ed for beans, the growers would get a second payment before HELP!!!

Sincerely Erik Gravlev say he would be happy to answer any questions and the first one fired at him was whether or not the dealers were happy, "That's a good starter", he jokingly stated. He pointed out the dealers have not yet reached any agree- ments with the bean board over the marketing of the crop under the new plan and did indicate there were "major" points to be ironed out. It was explained that while the dealers had to pay the growers $6.00 upon delivery of the beans to the mills, the dealers couldn't market the beans without ap- proval of the bean board. Mr. Thompson explained that in the case of high-moisture beans, the dealers had to be able to get rid of them In a hurry if they felt there was any danger of them spoiling. "If you have control of the beans you can get rid of them if you have to," he explained, but under the agency plan, the dealers wouldn't have control of the beans. This puts them in the pre- carious position of having paid for the beans but not being able to get rid of them if the need arises. He said it would be difficult for the dealers to get financing from the bank on an inventory over which the dealer had no control. "Some dealers may get cred- it, and some may not," he stated. He said there was also the question of whether or not the board would protect the dealers who they expected to market the beans. It was reported that recently he had been underbid by the board. "What incentive is there for the dealer to sell beans if the canner can phone the board and get a lower price?" he ques- tioned. It was also his opinion that the more people selling beans the better it was for all con- cerned. One of the 50 farmers asked What would happen if the dealers decided not to handle the beans. "If the rest quit Wes won't mind handling them all," Allen stated. However, Thompson's r eply was: "I don't know,1 don't know". Hay Reeve John Corbett said he wasn't knocking the bean board's efforts, but said growers would be stupid to vote the plan in if they had no market. "I don't think we should vote until we know where we're going," he said, indicating that some agreement should be reached be- tween the dealers and the bean board. Ed Corbett pointed out the board may have to pay more than the $1.15 they planned to give the dealers for handling the beans. Area bean growers go to the polls next week to decide wheth- er they want their crop market- ed through an agency plan where- by all farmers would receive equal prices through a pooling of all monies received from the sale of beans through that centr al agency. There appear to be many ques- tions still to be answered re- garding the new plan, and some farmers attending an information meeting in Exeter, Tuesday, in- dicated they thought some of those questions should have been answered before the vote was called. The main question they asked EXTRA DIVIDENDS FROM SHUR.GAIN CREEP FEED A good start is vital when raising baby pigs.

Bean board chairman Robert Allen, Brucefield, didn't have the ans- wer for that one, and three rep- resentatives of W. G. Thompson & Sons Ltd., Hensall, present at the meeting didn't answer It with a definite yes or no. Allen asked the three men — Wes and George Thompson and Howard Scane — if they wished to speak to the growers and all declined, pointing out they ap- preciated being able to be pres- ent, but as it was a growers' meeting, didn't think they should air any comments. However, Wes Thompson did OUTLINES PLAN The meeting started off with Allen outlining the study under- taken by the board regarding agency plans. He indicated they had visited various Ontario mar- ket systems as well as some in B.C. and Western Canada and in all cases learned that growers had improved their position by implementing agency plans. He noted that in all commodi- ties, the growers were receiv- ing low prices and dealers were going broke under a free enter- prise system, but all growers have been happy since an agency plan has been formulated. Members of some of the grow- er groups now under an agency plan said they couldn't see why bean growers hadn't gone to an agency plan long ago. He listed the faults of the old plan as being the fact there was no incentive for farmers to sell their beans when the U.K. brok- ers and canners needed them, THE CONTRIBUTION OF ATOMIC ENERGY TO AGRICULTURE He became involved in an argu- ment with Allen and McGregor when he started noting the prob- lems with other marketing plans and was told that the meeting was called to discuss beans only and he should keep to the subject. Later in the discussion, Allen referred to the wheat plan and Hawkins called out: "stick to beans, please", Allen concluded the meeting by asking all growers to get out and vote and to get all other growers out as well. Hearings BEFORE THE Subcommittee On Research And Development OF THE Joint Committee On Atomic Energy By GORDON MORLEY A baptismal service was well attended at Brinsley United Church Sunday, July 16, conduct- ed by the Rev.

Mr. & Mrs. Doug LeN, attend- CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES EIGHTY-THIRD CONGRESS SECOND SESSION OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF ATOMIC ENERGY TO AGRICULTURE Dr. Tukey: "Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, 1, too, am honored to be asked to appear before you and I appreciate the opportunity to tell you something about what I think is one of the exciting new developments in agriculture, namely, that not only can plants absorb nutrients through the roots, but also through the foliage, the fruit, the twigs, the trunk, and even the flowers. "While all of this is interesting, I think the Most exciting news is in the foliage feeding of plants -- that plants can take up nutrients through the foliage. Here is a case where the farmer has really gotten ahead of the scientist as so often happens. He has learned that foliage feed- ing is helpful and he has adopted the practice. This has come about by virtue of the fact that a number of favorable factors have concentrated all at once to make this possible, "We have seen that materials are absorbed by the plant and move rather freely in the plant, The amounts may at first seem relatively small, but to offset this handicap, the efficiency is high. In fact, this is the most efficient method of applying fertilizer to plants that we have yet discovered, 'If we apply these materials to the leaves in soluble forms, as much as 95 percent of what is applied may be used by the plant. If we apply a similar amount to the soil, we find about 10 percent of it to be used."
