The Ontario Egan Grower'
Co-operative of London set a
record fur its 19$7 fiscal year--
it had a net loss of $284,243 for
the period ending last Aug. 31.
The London plant, built in
1953, has had a long history of
losing money on operations. The
highest loss previous to the latest
financial statement was last year
when it went into the red by
$84,344. The bulk of last year's loss
and most of this year's deficit
was blamed on spoiled beans in
company-owned silos that
continued to leak until recent
weeks.
Duncan Ferguson of St.
Thomas, chairman of the
co-operative, told the annual
meeting in Strathroy last week
that a $70,000 renovation
program has been completed at
the plant, waterproofing the
silos and revamping the
processing operation to speed up
Ai output,
Mr, Ferguson reviewed the a last 11 months beginning last
whose refinery in Chatham has
since been closed, will make its
final payment to growers when
the government deficiency
cheques are issued in about 10
days.
Growers have already
received $12 a ton for their
crop. The support price is
$15.50.
While growers may have
expected to get more because
final prices in Southwestern
Ontario were below the national
average, there will be an
offsetting reduction because
their beets fell below the
standard sugar content of 16
percent, or production of 250
pounds of sugar per ton.
Payments already made to
the growers for the 1967 crop
include an initial company
payment of $7 per ton at
delivery, a government
guaranteed advance of $2 and
the interim subsidy of $3
Yet to be paid is the
transitional assistance benefit of
$60 per acre promised by the
federal government when the
sugar beet industry ceased to
exist in Ontario.
Lloyd Lovell of Kippen told
the T-A last week, he didn't
expect the assistance payment
would come until late January
or early February as the
Treasury Department received
the necessary figures later than
expected.

farmers once engaged in growing
sugar beets will get final
payments for their last crop
early in the new year.
The agricultural stabilization
board announced Thursday that
the total deficiency payment on
the 1967 crop will be $5.41 per
ton. An interim payment of $3
per standard ton was made in
December, 1967.
The department estimates
800 growers in Southwestern
Ontario will be, affected. Their
production that year was
285,000 tons.

"Yes," replied Mr. Gregory,
However, Mr- Gregory Said a

this to the new agency system in

'precessing beans,
past chairman Charles Rae of
Zurich said some of the spoiled
beans were so deteriorated they
wouldn't flow out of the silo
and a hole had to be knocked in
the side to clean them out. He
said some of the'bad beans had
been in the silos for more than
two years and men at the plant
just left them there.
Elected directors for two-year
terms were Kenneth Ferguson,
Alvinston; Gordon Anderson,

Mr. Ferguson, Clifford
