"With this new Treflan, we can grow beans on dirty land as well',' says Ken Mailoux. "Treflan gives me 100% control of foxtail, lambsquarters and pigweed," says Clifford Wildblood. Treflan is giving beangrowers the weed control they need to help lower labour costs and achieve better profits. Ken Mailoux of Comber, Ontario, found the worst weeds in his soybeans were pigweed and Iambsquarters. Now "Treflan is controlling the weeds very well," he says, "This year, because of all the rain, I haven't been able to rotary hoe, and Treflan's really done the job for me," Clifford Wildblood farms a fertile clay loam that can really grow white beans — and weeds — at Chatham, Ontario. He's been using Treflan for two years now "with very satisfactory results." Clifford finds it pays to make sure Treflan is properly incorporated in the soil before planting time. And it's simple to do. "I work it in, disc both ways before planting .. • that's all," he says. Treflan can help you achieve results like these.

Dear Sir: We are now in the last week of the campaign to build the best farm organization in Canada today. We know that farmers from coast to coast are watching Ontario and are planning to follow our lead. Tuesday, June 24 will be one of the most important days in both Ontario and Canadian Agriculture. It is the starting point for farmers to build a really effective provincial and national farm organization. After 30 years of the O.F.A. and 17 years of the O.F.U., farm incomes are much too low. Another 17 years of either of these two organizations will not solve the problem. It is time for a change and its time for the farmers to make the decisions. That is what will happen on June 24. No farm leader is going to tell the farmers what sort of organization he is going to have. The farmers will decide this by the way each one casts his ballot. Each of us has an equal say. There have been a number of wild and irresponsible accusations and claims which have come and gone like this week's specials at the supermarket. However, the last of these, while it is typically wild and irresponsible, should be dealt with before vote day so that we reach June 24 with the air cleared of this red herring. Rabbit breeders hear about feed The South Huron Rabbit Breeders Association held their June meeting in Elimville Hall on Tuesday evening. Guest speaker for the evening was David Long of St. Marys, representative of Super Sweet Feeds who endeavoured to answer some of the breeders problems on feeding. Auctioneer for the Dutch auction was David Stanley of Denfield and winner of the prize was Lewis Davey of Exeter. It was decided by majority vote to reverse last month's decision to recess for the summer. Club meetings will continue through July and August. The next meeting of the club will be held on July 8 at the home of the club president Wm. John Dickey of RR 1 Centralia. Let's be clear about this. The O,F.U. wanted legislation, the O.F.A. wanted legislation and now we have the legislation with less government interference than with any other legislation used by any other group in our society. But what is much more important, the government cannot dissolve this organization or remove its checkoff powers without going back to the legislature to amend or remove the Act. Can you imagine the uproar in the House if the government were to try that? I hope that farmers are not confused and scared to the point that they fail to take this opportunity. Let's take this legislation and use it to our advantage. If it is as bad as some would have us believe, we don't like it. As they say, "if you haven't tried it, don't knock it!" I would like to make one final point about my own position. I shall not stand for election as a delegate to the founding convention and will, therefore, not be eligible for election to the provincial council or the executive. This is not because I am trying to avoid some future responsibility, but merely because I hope that this will dispel any idea that I am trying to create an empire for myself. Thank you for the Space. I hope that every farmer and his wife and all other eligible to vote will get out on June 24 and vote for a much better general farm organization and a brighter future. Yours sincerely, Malcolm Davidson, Chairman, GFO Campaign Committee. By MRS. STAN PR ESZCATOR Dr. O.G. Truemmer of Strathroy was a recent visitor with his sister, Mrs. Aaron Wein.
