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- Mr. & Mrs. Roy Pawlinski of Fort Erie visited at the Haig Farm over the weekend.

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. intendent, introduced the guests and also members of the Canners staff present at the banquet. He asked growers for their continued cooperation. Entertainment for the event was supplied by the Paul Bro- thers and Shirley. 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.
