In the top photo, maintenance crews from the Department of Highways collect litter scattered along the roadside during the Winter season on part of the 13,000 miles of King's and Secondary Highways. Bottom, these scattered pieces of litter add up to truck loads of refuse. Last year, DHO spent $908,000 on the collection and disposal of litter. As part of an anti-litter campaign, the Department appeals to motorists to take along a litter bag and use it instead of tossing litter out along the roadside.

Times-Advocates May 22, 1969 Supports GFO cqmpgign. Bennett denies rumours In a strong statement issued in. Toronto recently, Delmer Bennett denied rumours that he is no longer supporting the campaign for a General Farm Organization in the province. Mr. Bennett, a Forester Falls farmer, met newsmen following a meeting of the Legislature's Committee on Agriculture and Food. The committee gave clause by clause approval to legislation to provide for a General Farm Organization in the province. Mr. Bennett, a former member of the executive of the Ontario Farmers' Union, said that the Union Farmer was completely wrong in saying that he had dropped out of the GFO campaign. "I am still a member of the GFO Campaign Committee. I am working hard on the provincial committee and I am working hard in my local area to promote a GFO," Mr. Bennett said. "After the executive of the Ontario Farmers Union asked me to resign because of my support of a GFO, the people who had elected me in District 12, Renfrew, Carleton, and Lanark counties, gave me a vote of confidence. At least nine out of 10 local farmers with whom I have talked have told me I made the right decision in supporting the GFO campaign." Mr. Bennett said that for at least two years he has been supporting the idea of one general farm organization for the Province as a stepping stone toward a national farm organization. "In the GFO Campaign Committee I have been able to explain to other members what Farmers Union members want in a new organization," Mr. Bennett said. "In the June Ballot, farmers will have an opportunity to decide the form and structure of the organization which could, in effect, be the same as that proposed by the Ontario Farmers Union and called by the Union, Plan A." "I have been convinced that the legislation in no way prevents integration of marketing into the GFO as proposed by the Ontario Farmers Union. I have been reassured by the statements of the Minister of Agriculture & Food who told the Legislature committee that there is nothing in the legislature to stop producers from naming the GFO as their marketing agent, if they desire to do so." In a statement to the Legislature's committee on Agriculture and Food, Orville Guy, Vice-Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board assured the committee that the OMMB is supporting the formation of a GFO and is interested in establishing close and continuous liaison with whatever commodity committee of the GFO is to be charged with responsibility for dairy industry matters. The OMMB statement approved the legislation and the proposals of the GFO campaign committee. Mr. Bennett said he considered it significant that the statement of the OMMB had been approved unanimously by the OMMB. Some directors of the OMMB are supporters of the Ontario Farmers Union, Mr. Bennett commented. Rabbit breeders to attend show The May meeting of the South Huron Rabbit Breeders' Association was held in Elimville Hall on Tuesday, May 13 with a good turn out. The evening's business began with the minutes of the last meeting read by Secretary Angus Murray. The meeting was chaired by Pres. Wm. John Dickey ably assisted by Vice-Pres. Wm. H. (Pat) Dickey. An invitation was extended to and accepted by the South Huron club from the Lamb ton Middlesex club to participate in their annual rabbit show which is planned for June 7 in Arkona. Auctioneer for the Dutch auction was Wm. Dickey and the prize was won by Murray Barber. The next meeting of the club will be held in Elimville Hall on June 10 at 8:30 p.m. As the club plans to recess for the summer months, the June meeting will be the last until September. eeoft Reito/te The wet cool weather is still slowing down the spring seeding, such, that the farmers are about two weeks behind. Some of the farmers on the lighter, drained soil have completed seeding their spring grains and corn, with some of the spring grain up. Recent storms have caused a lot of flooding which may kill some of the spring seeding. Growth is slow in the pastures, hay, spring grains and winter wheat, although the winter wheat on the average looks good with relatively little winter kill. Some of the cattle have been turned out.

Generous Trade-In Allowance On Nuffield Tractors Exeter Farm Equipment -Th.. Best in Farm Machonnry - HARRY VAN GF RtNI N ExETFIR It is an absolute necessity that each commodity marketing board be represented on the Provincial Directors' Council of the proposed Ontario General Farm Organization. Each Board should be represented by one delegate who will have the power to vote. This is the basis for an editorial statement by Charles G. Munro, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, to be printed later this week. Mr. Munro points out that one of the key failures of the present provincial farm organizations has been the power to communicate effectively and quickly with the individual farmer. The Federation President stresses that the farmer is a food producer and a businessman. "His marketing representative will concentrate on his producer problems. The GFO Local representative will share his problems as a businessman. There must therefore, be a co-ordination between the two representatives. There is no other way than if elbow-to-elbow on the same council." Mr. Munro says that the power to vote will make each representative responsible to the farmers who elected him. Each will also therefore share the responsibility of the actions of the provincial council. Two more men speak out on the success of Treflan "Now I've no time for hoeing"; says Louis Ducharme. "Last year I even broadcast my soybeans': says Ralph King. Examples like these say a lot more about Treflan than we ever could. Take Louis Ducharme. He found himself in a situation where hoeing labor costs were cutting deep into his profits. Now careful incorporation of Treflan to the right depth into his white bean crop has eliminated the need to hand hoe.

R. 2, HENSALL, ONTARIO" 262.5626 Or take Ralph King's example. Broadcasting soybeans means big savings in cultivation costs, and often increases in yield per acre . But, like Ralph, you have to know your weed control plan is completely effective. Treflan really came through for Ralph. It can come through for you.
