Sc drastic Measures, to bolster the industry. It received, in return,. ProPPsa4 for both long and short-range answers to the corn industrY problems ranging frond, establishment of a federal grain commission to provision of lake shipping in this area to reduce cost Of tzansPorting Ont0rio corn to eastern markets, Eugene Whelan, MP (L-Essex) said only a national grain commission empowered to allow import of corn into Canada only by permit at a reasonable price can meet the chronic problems faced by Ontario's 35,000 commercial corn growers. Mr. Whelan said Canada's agriculture minister, H. A. Olson, is concerned because several groups seem to be speaking for the corn industry and asking for different things. An additional problem comes from the difficulty of determining how large a segment of the industry each—including the commercial corn growers' association—represents, the Essex MP said. George Morris of Merlin, one of the association directors, said other farm commodity groups do not have a single spokesman and it should not be expected of the corn industry. Jack Spence, MPP (L—Kent) agreed the corn industry is in very serious condition when future prices are quoted at $1.04 per bushel. He said the committee's brief should go to Ontario Agriculture Minister William Stewart along with a •report of the Chatham meeting. Lorne Henderson, MPP (PC—Lambton) said the Ontario farm income committee is expected to report within a few months, and its findings could have a bearing on the corn industry. Area MPs and MPPs agreed that some form of cash advance to corn growers in the fall on their crop could encourage them to store corn and stop dumping it on the market. The association brief advocated establishment of an The hrier urged a federal investigation of transportation and storage facilities to improve and lower their cost, Association members said corn can now be shipped from Maumee, Ohio, to Montreal, for seven cents a bushel, while it costs 21, cents a bushel to ship it from Chatham to Montreal. A ettidy of Prodoetion costs and of the possibility of establishing a Canadian corn exchange and corn grain supply bank was also urged. The brief predicted 190,000,090,bushel corn crop by 1970, and pointed out production increased by more than 100 rw. cent between 1955-56 and 1905-66, but domestic consumption increased from 37,000,000 to 84,500,000 bushels in the same Period. Fork hay from mow Quick action by Exeter firemen and neighbors saved the barn of Jim Prout when chopped hay started smouldering Monday morning. Firemen were called to the barn, about two miles south of Exeter on Highway 4, around 8:00 a.m. after Prout had extinguished a fire on a beam: The Usborne farmer then ripped off siding on the barn and neighboring farmers started to arrive with forks to start tossing the smouldering hay out of the, loft. Over a dozen men sweated it out in the mow while firemen dampened the hay as it was uncovered from the smouldering pile. The one hay mow was finally cleared about two hours later. The floor was charred, but there was little other damage. A fire truck from the Centralia Industrial Park was also dispatched to the scene when the Exeter brigade decided more water supply may be needed than what was on their own truck. 7-4 A4044 to time.
