enthusiastic response to our second "Farming
Frontiers:" Our thanks to the more than 400
farmers from the area who have shown us in the
best way possible that you mean business when
it comes to the business of farming.
Special thanks to Jack Underwood for his
address and congratulations to Lewis Dietrich,
Dashwood, who won the Roll Gard and seat

Protest importation
of pork from states
Huron County Hog Producers
Association unanimously
approved a resolution Tuesday
asking the Ontario Hog
Producers Association to protest
the importation of low-priced.
U.S. pork and pork products.
Prices are lower than those
received by producers in the
province, they said,
The Ontario association was
also asked to use its influence
for the creation of a single
provincial farm organization.
Alfred Warner of Goderich
Township, a zone member of the
Ontario Hog Producers'
Marketing Board, said the
association's monthly newsletter
Marketplace, will cease
publication due to the increase
in postal rates which will add
$14,000 annually to operating
costs.
George R, Campbell of RR 1,
Seaforth, was re-elected
president. Other officers are:
vice-president James McGregor,
R R 2, Kippen; and
secretary-treasurer Lloyd
Stewart, RR 1, Clinton.
At the annual meeting of the
Huron County 4-H Agricultural
Club Leaders Association held at
Clinton, Wednesday, leaders
almost unanimously disagreed
with sections of Ontario's recent
265-page committee report on
farm income but differed on the
value of small fairs across Huron
County.
Committeeman W. L.
Teeple's contention that persons
without a diploma in agriculture
by 1980 will be "trapped in
farming was not endorsed by the
4-H leaders group.
Leaders insisted that present
4-H programs and various career
rallies already clearly define
other employment opportunities
apart from farming. The farm
income committee had stressed

Bruce Coleman was re-elected
president of the Tuckersmith
Federation of Agriculture at the
annual .meeting last Monday in
the Brucefield United Church,
Henry Binnendyk was elected
first vice-president and Mrs.
Bruce Coleman lady director.
George Prins of Chatham,
who has recently returned from
Ghana where he worked on a
project to find new chemicals to
fight the insects hindering cocoa
production in West Africa,
described conditions in that
country and showed illustrations
of the areas in which he had
worked.
A native of Holland Dr. Prins
came to Canada in 1948.
Completing his education here
he was selected as one of four
from among 1,200 applicants to
visit Ghana in an effort to
develop chemicals that would
control insects decemoting
cocoa production.
Elmer Hunter, Huron F of A
president, spoke briefly and
Bruce Shapton, chairman of the
CIA Insurance committee.
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin
Thompson brought greetings and
Charles Reid, president of
Stanley F of A also spoke.
Directors appointed were
James McGregor, Robert Bell,
James I. McIntosh, Stan Johns,
Robert Lawson, James Papple,
Stuart Wilson and Peter
Swinkles.
Kitchen meet
enlightening
A kitchen meeting held
February 4 at Don McComb's
home resulted in an enlightening
discussion.
Two farm union members
were outnumbered by non-union
members and federation
personnel including a
representative of the cream
producers.
The Union proposals were
well received with some good
recommendations. It was the
opinion of both union and
federation representatives that a
plebescite vote on one farm
organization is unnecessary and
should be defeated as it will
hamper the efforts of the two
groups to get together.
They were very close at the
district level as well as top level.
Once they have come together,
they will be able to set up a
structure that will help do the
job farmers need.
This organization will then be
able to expand to a national
group at a later date.
It was stated that every
farmer should attend any
meeting held in his area,
especially the kitchen meetings
sponsored by the union to
become informed about what is
being proposed And to put his
own ideas across to the groups
working in his interests.
Local Union president Joe
O'Neill noted that kitchen
meetings have been very fruitful
thus far so will be continued for
the rest of the Winter.

the need to emphasize job
opportunities off the farm.
Leaders generally concurred,
however, with the report's
recommendation that rural
youth councils be established to
model policy and co-ordinate
the activities of all rural youth
programs in Ontario.
Dick Etherington, RR 3,
liensall said agricultural societies
smacked of the "horse and
buggy" days.
Mr. Etherington said all small
fall fairs were "milking the
community dry to remain alive."
He agreed with fellow leaders
who advocated one large county
fall fair replacing all the smaller
ones. This, he said, would take
pressure off merchants who are
pressed for donations to keep
municipal fairs alive.
Taking issue with Mr.
Etherington was George
Kennedy, of Lucknow, a
director, who said no attempt
should be made to "snuff out!'
Huron County's little fall fairs.
Quality of these fairs, he said,
can't be judged by their size.
Murray Scott, RR 1,
Belgrave, was elected presiden

Hay Twp. federation
disbands, donate funds
At a special meeting of the
Hay Township Federation of
Agriculture in Zurich last
Tuesday evening decision was
made to disband the
organization.
Secretary-treasurer Wilfred
Mousseau reminded the
members that Huron County
Federation of Agriculture
second vice-president Ross
Smith had asked the Hay group
last spring to remain active until
the end of 1968.
There, had been hopes 'that a
single farm organization would
be formed to better represent
the farming community as a
whole. To date no such united
farm organization has
materialized and the Hay
federation felt there was "no

Reports showed 283
members attending 24 county
clubs during 1968, including 58
girls.
1). G. Inglis, the agriculture
department's assistant extension
officer for Huron County, told
leaders 4-H clubs should be
flexible, a community effort
geared to the region's particular
needs, and designed to cultivate
"effective living" rather than
simply promoting technical
knowledge.
other alternative" but to
disband.
Surplus funds accumulated
by the Hay group amount to
$622.83. Of this money, $500
was voted to the township of
Hay for the construction of
steps to the beach at Centennial
Park on Lake Huron. The
balance will be retained by the
municipality for future farm
organizational purposes.
The present tax levy of
two-fifths of a mill for Huron
County Federation of
Agriculture purposes will be
reduced to one-fifth of a mill.
Elmer Hunter, president of
the Huron FA told the gathering
that OFA had received 800
orders for tractors and that OFA
is exploring the overseas market
prices on atrazine.
