EARN MORE: Broadcasting part of the Fer-
tilizer for next year's row crops prior to plowing this
fall is a convenient and efficient means of getting needed
plant food into the soil. For example, when you
fertilize for corn as little as 150 lbs. of mixed fertilizer
need be applied as a starter and the remaindet of the
total requirements can be broadcast.

helpful to aid pastures. Silo

somewhat lower than average
because of the dry weather.
Some winter wheat is being
planted, although most farmers
are waiting for more favourable
moisture conditions. Very little

The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture will begin selling
individual service memberships
in the organization by the end of
next week. This was announced
last week by Charles Munro, of
Embro, OFA President,

members' meeting in Toronto.
During the meeting it was
decided that those holding the
three top executive positions in
the OFA will be elected in a
different manner at the next
annual convention in November
at Toronto. The Board of
Governors ratified the decision.
In the past the OFA
executive has been elected by
and from the Board of
Governors, who represent the
various groups of member
organizations in the Federation.
Three positions will continue to
be filled in this manner in the
future.
The President and his two
vice-presidents will now be
elected by the annual
convention from among
members and official voting
delegates. For the first time in
the history of the OFA,
additional delegates
representation to the annual
convention will come from
individual memberships in three
regions which will divide the
province.
These individual service
memberships that have been
purchased by the convention
will be represented by four
delegates per 1,000 or less
memberships in each of the
three regions. These regions will
be made by dividing all counties
on an east-west basis at Highway
Number 11. The northern
districts will make up the third
region.
It has also been decided that
all individual members will
receive an invitation to the
annual convention, They will
meet early in the convention to
elect their voting delegates to
the annual meeting on the
regional basis.
Proposals will be made up
during the annual convention for
future representation of the
individual Service membership
section of the organization.
Delegates to the annual meeting
will have an opportunity to vote
on any proposed changes.

farm organizations.
