PANCAKE DAY
ON TUESDAY, APRIL 9th — 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. AT OUR SHOP
I Draw for Special Door Prizes • Movies All Day • All You Can Eat
Area farmers were told Wed-
nesday night that the Centralia
College of Agricultural Tech-
nology has been established to
provide them with information
and special courses as well as
training Ontario's future farm-
ers.
Principal Jim MacDonald,
speaking at the Huron-Perth Can
Crop good-will dinner, said the
college would be providing in-
formation for practising farmers
and he also could see the need
for offering specialized courses
of interest to farmers in the area
served by the college.
He said the marketing course
recently held at Centralia had
created considerable enthusiasm
and this would be helpful in de-
veloping guidelines for future
courses.
He outlined the agricultural
and home economics subjects
taught at the college and ex-

plained the agricultural colleges
throughout Ontario were needed
to keep future—and present—
farmers abreast of the technol-
ogical advances in their industry.
He said statistics indicated that
only 10 percent of Ontario farm-
ers have post-secondary school
training in agriculture.
Noting that advances were
dramatic, he said that people
who tend to stand still and fail
to equip themselves with know-
ledge and information could be
put in a position of forced leisure.
Doug Miles, who introduced
the speaker, said the college
could be one of the big influences
on this area. "We haven't seen
Turnip growers
arrange meeting
Area turnip growers have been
invited to attend the annual edu-
cational day to be held at the
Stratford Fairgrounds on April
10.
The program will include
speakers on promotion, insect
control, disease control and a
panel on weed control.
Dick Goodin will outline the
history of the Ontario turnip in-
dustry and Bill Bond of the On-
tario Apple Producers' Market-
ing Board will explain the working
of that board.
The Apple Board is designed
for promotion only, and is the
same as the proposed Turnip
Board.
Egg men
go to polls
Egg prOdueers will ge to the
polls Tuesday and Wednesday to
decide whether Or not the Ontario
Egg and Fowl Producers. Market
i
-
ng Board will be given the power
to set marketing quotas and
eventually establish an agency
to sell all eggs.
The board now only collects
a fee from Producers used to
promote consumption and bas no
other powers to speak of.
If the vote is approved, the
business of marketing eggs will
change drastically.
Opponents of the quota plan
say it will freeze the efficiency
of the industry; drive new capital
and technology out of Ontario;
introduce additional capital costs
with an expanding producer
forced to purchase quotas; and
take away the freedom of the
individual to expand his business.
On the other hand, egg board
chairman James Huctwith says
while quotas may cost farmers
their individuality, they must be
prepared to give up some of their
free enterprise and capitalize
on the benefits of stability he
feels quotas will bring to the
industry.
He suggests it is completely
unwise to go on producing more
eggs than Canadians will eat.
Approval of the plan would
see basic quotas established for
each producer based on the cap-
acity of his buildings. An an-
nual quota for the industry would
be based on predicted demand for
the year.
Voting will take place at the
offices of county agricultural re-
presentatives.

staff present at the banquet.
He asked growers for their
continued cooperation.

anything yet of the influences
this school will have", he said.
Close to 300 persons attended
the annual banquet at the Legion
Hall and heard several speakers
comment on the good-will that
exists between growers and pro-
cessors in this district.
"The numbers here indicate
the relationship between grower
and processor in this area,"
stated Jack Urquhart, manager of
the Exeter branch of Canadian
Canners Limited.
"This can't be said about all
areas of the province," he added.
He was co-chairman for the
event along with Jules DeBra-
bandere.
In wishing for the growers a
year of maximum quality, quan-
tity and profit, Urquhart said all
concerned would have to come up
with a more strict and positive
approach if the growers and pro-
cessors were to obtain the
maximum share of the profit
dollar in 1968.
"This is more important than
ever before," he concluded.
DeBrabandere said the canning
industry was moving in a new
direction and was no longer con-
sisting of individual groups.
"We must move as an in-
dustry--not just as canners and
growers--and we will have to see
each other's point of view," he
said.
"We have to have unity in
purpose and work together as a
team to come up with a two-
pronged attack to get our share
of the consumers' dollars," the
Kirkton area farmer stated, add-
ing that growers had to be as
concerned with producing a qual-
ity product as much as the can-
ners.
Others speaking at the banquet
were Exeter Mayor Jack Del-
bridge; Newt Ashton, Agricul-
tural Representative for Perth;
Clarence Down, district repres-
entative on the Ontario Veget-
able Growers' Marketing Board;
Ralph Shaw, agricultural service
manager for Canadian Canners
Limited, Hamilton.
