Gordon Hill, Varna, acting chairman of the committee, said he felt there were farmers in Huron who are doing fairly well, but feel that in general the farmer here does not have an adequate income for the capital expended". He suggested that returns for capital, labor and risk were low- er than those enjoyed by persons outside agriculture and said the committee's main aim was to determine the reasons why and find solutions to the problem, Hill was of the opinion that in some cases management was in- volved, but for many others, circumstances were not con- beans up on top, above the ground, Beans dry faster; combine easier and spotting frorn contact with wet soil is eliMihated; Lest wear and tear on your coMbirle, too, No dirt and stones to ruff through, no tangled windrow to pull apart Put lanes to work and you'll get More beans, better beans, cleaner beans, INIIMES.

The warm, sunny weather of the early part of the week has accelerated the haying operation in the county. There is still a large portion of the crop to go in. Corn and white .beans are growing well in all parts of the county. Spring grains look very good with all of the crop approach- ing the milk stage. Some bar- lage will soon be harvested and put into silos at approximately 55% moisture. The turnip crop in the county looks very favourable. Despite the use of chemicals, crop losses due to weeds are about $300 million a year, ac- cording to CDA's Research Branch. - - - CDA's General Services units inspect 10,000 retail food stores a year. - - - CDA inspectors certified 9,003 lots of 1967 surplus potatoes offered for non-food uses.

Consumption of teed drops by about 50 percent when the forage is harvested in the full,bloorn stage rather than in the pre- bUti stage. Ftirtliermore, the eti- ergy concentration of forage cut at the full-bloom stage is about 25 percent lower than 'that of the pre-bud forage, This Aq01q44;370..04 404,, age of higher intake and batter- qaality :geed makes it more impi produce Ow r ever that a farme procitiee high quality forage, 4r,, ow will consume! .on the average!

The ans, wer, Dr. Stone said, is a definite !'No".. As a matter of fact, he WOO out, if the :forage was stored as wilted hay crop 'silago, it would be possible to have a flinch higher proportion of high quality feed. Equal milk production per cow can be achieved with wilted hay crop silage as with dry hay. Four members of the Ontario Farm Income Committee held a session at the Centralia College of Agricultural Tech no 1 o g y, Thursday; exchanging ideas with members of the College staff as well as agricultural representa- tives Doug Mlles, Huron, Newt Centralia • Farmers Supply Ltd.

From his observation as a member of the Committee, which has been touring the Province, Hill stated that the County of Huron was in a much better po- sition than most of the counties which the Committee had visited. Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield, another member of the Farm In- come Committee, pointed out that farmers had many problems and the Committee was seeking the opinions of farmers and others with a view to recommending various programs to the Ontario Government. He said it was primarily an 'economic and social study. There must be some reason why the re- turn to capital, labour and fi- nancial risk, was lower in. On- tario in agriculture than in other industries not nearly so import- ant. He asked: "Why is this? What shall we do? What changes should be made?" Tom Robson, Leamington, a big tomato grower, and Mrs. Kenneth Macintosh, a Kitchener alderman, vice-president of the Consumers' Association of Can- ada, are also members of the Farm Income Committee, while the executive secretary is Ed- ward O'Meara, agricultural economist of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, loaned by the department to this special committee. Others who participated in the conference held at CentraliaCol- lege of Agriculture and Tech- nology were: Jim MacDonald, principal of the School; Don Mc- Arthur, farm management spe- cialist at the School; Doug Jamie- son .and Graham Hooper, mem• - bers of the staff. The special committee on Farm Income was appointed by the Hon. W. A. Stewart, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, follow- ing a request from the Vineland conference in October 1966. A preliminary report was present- ed at the Kemptville conference in July 1967. When its labours are over, the committee will report back to the Minister and all farm organizations in On- tario. Periodically, the committee has been meeting in various parts of the Province with farmers and agricultural representatives in an attempt to get suggestions for solutions of farm problems, This year!s pea harvest is one of the beat in Years)apcordiegto Jack Urquhart, manager of the Exeter plant of Ganaliaa Can, Mars,.
