S ixty p r , Farmers will get a chance to decide whether they want.a new general farm organization under the provisions of a bill introduced by Agriculture Minister Stewart in the legislature Monday. The bill is two-fold, the minister told the House, providing, in the first instance, for a secret ballot via an opinion poll on the question. If 60 per cent of the voting farmers approve the proposal, the second part of the bill provide authority for a founding convention and subsequent continuity of representation. The opinion poll, Mr. Stewart said, will be conducted this summer under the supervision of the department of agriculture — providing there has been petition from 15,000 Ontario farmers requesting it. Farmers, their wives, and members of a farm family over The Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food last week announced a number of new staff appointments in the Extension Branch. The appointments made by Deputy Minister Everett Biggs, effective over the next couple of weeks are part of an expansion of advisory services to be provided by the Department. Two of the appointments are for Huron County. Gary Howes, a 1969 graduate of the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology replaces Dave Ingles in the extension department at Clinton. Ingles, who served about three years in Huron is leaving the department and joining his father in an outstanding Holstein Friendly folk elect officers The Fairfield Friendly Folk held their annual dinner at the Dashwood Hotel April 24 with an attendance of 35. Following the turkey dinner President Edward Lamport conducted the business. The new executive for the coming year was elected. They are: president, Earl Neil; vice-president, Maurice heist; secretary treasurer, Mrs. Joseph White; press secretary, Mrs. Gordon Wilson; social committee conveners, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Powe. The remainder of the evening was spent playing cards and a social time was enjoyed by all. 21 will be able to cast ballots in. the The bill seeks to establish financial stability through a form of check-off on farm products marketed in the province, the minister said. Mr. Stewart said the check-off would mean a maximum amount of two-tenths of one cent on every dollar of total sales of a product. "If this means of financing the organization is approved in operation in Bruce County near Walkerton. Don Holmes who has been an engineering assistant at Clinton since December, 1963 has been transferred to Carleton County with headquarters in Ottawa. A 1969 graduate of the Diploma Course at thy; University of Guelph S.H. Bradshaw will succeed Mr. Holmes in Huron County. Huron's Agricultural Representative Don Pullen said Monday he expected both men would be arriving in Clinton later this week to assume their new duties. Dear Sir: Friends of Don Messer who are disappointed with the CBC for dropping his show can register a protest by coming to Strathroy Saturday night, May 8, and signing a petition and enjoying an evening of free round and square dancing.

But Mr, Stewart also said there would be a number of alternatives, involving the basic structure of the organization, method of financing and membership open to voters at the time a poll is taken. Under pointed questioning by NDP leader Donaltd MacDonald, the minister conceded that, in the final analysis, he would have the final say op what goes on the ballot. He emphasized there would be no final decision on the wording until everyone had a chance to have their say. However, the Ontario General Farm Organization Campaign Committee said Monday the debate over what type of questions will be on the proposed June ballot has been settled. A committee statement said questions to be asked were decided following a meeting with Mr. Stewart last Thursday. The committee said farmers will be asked five questions when they vote. In their view the two basic questions would be: "Are you in favor of a general farm organization with compulsory checkoff?" "Should each marketing board have a vote on the provincial council of the GFO?" In addition three other questions will be asked as direction to delegates at the founding convention of a new GFO. "Should membership require a voluntary payment regardless of the amount of checkoff paid by the individual? "Should membership be automatic if a farmer pays a checkoff whether large or small?" "Should membership require some minimum level of contribution toward the GFO which could come from .a combination of a checkoff and a voluntary payment?" r cent opprovoi needed Bill introduced for GFO poll Beef prices to remain steady Consumers can expect beef prices to remain. steady in 111434 According to the Canada Department of Agriculture's May Food Outlook, Pork and potato prices are expected to rise but eggs, broiler chicken, apples, hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers will be lower.
