G. THOMPSON AND SONS LIMITED Phone 262-2527 Hensall Pollution is a concern The purpose for continuing a Farm Vacation program and plans for the 'future were. discussed during the Second Annual Conference on Farm Vacations, sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, More than 60 people, representing interested individuals, ARDA, various county organizations, and the Ontario Government attended the day-long meeting at Victoria Square, north of Toronto. It was revealed during the meeting by Rae O. Cunningham, OFA Director of Properties, that vacation hosts participating in last years' program realized 824,371 in gross income. He also emphasized that this year's brochure of hosts and locations will go to the printers by'the end of December. John Holden, Director of the Advertising Branch, and Wilfred Haddad, Regional Supervisor, both from the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information, outlined expectations of guests and numerous tips on how to respond to inquiries. Rev. Bert Daynard, Chairman of the OFA Community and Regional Development Committee, and Mrs. Dorothy Houston and Mrs. Phyllis Durst, members of the OFA Sub-Committee on Farm Vacations told of preparations for a vacation listing and special host offerings. They also stressed that 29 counties and districts are represented by individuals hoping to participate in the continuing program. Don Ford, Director of Continuing Education at the Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology, informed those at the conference of training now available to interested hosts. Miss Ruth Macintosh, ARDA Home Economist for Renfrew County, listed equipment and food preparations necessary for larger groups, while Jack Steele, Associate Director of ARDA Programs, related local development of the Farm Vacations program. While everyone prepares for snow-drifts and Christmas, the OFA is busily readying itself for next summer's vacation exodus to all parts of the province by individuals from all over North America. evxft Re/tale Harvesting of grain corn is progressing well although yields in some areas of the County are below normal. The turnip harvest is almost completed with prices remaining favourable. Winter wheat appears to be making good growth. Recent rains should help with the large acreage of fall ploughing which remains to be completed. Western feeder cattle are beginning to arrive in the County. Stored feed supplies should be adequate for the approaching winter season. British entries at Royal Winter The high regard in which the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is held in Great Britain is strikingly illustrated by the large number of overseas entries received in the seed and grain classes. W. P. Watson, General Manager of the Royal, said today that the Seed Trade Association of the United Kingdom, has advised him that some 27 entries in the seed competitions were in transit. "The Royal seed show is very highly regarded in the United Kingdom and a win at the Royal is a matter of considerable pride", said Mr. Watson. Interest in the future of agriculture as a whole, and farm machinery in particular, drew thousands of farmers to the pavilion of The Ontario Federation of Agriculture during the International Plo ughing Match near Paris, The bright yellow and green OFA display was designed to explain the new services available to individual members. The Federation pavilion was fronted by a tall flagpole complete with lettered banner. Many Ontario Farmers directed questions to OFA staff concerning two tractors on display. Both had been imported from Britain through the OFA machinery program. One tractor, a Massey-Ferguson 165 model, had been purchased for $3,584.77 by an Oxford County farmer. This price included dual clutch and power steering. The tractor which proved most interesting was a Ford 5000 model equipped with a tandem hitch. The tandem equipment allows a farmer to operate two tractors while HURON'S NEW ASSISTANT AG REP - A native of Kent County, Michael Miller has been appointed Assistant Agricultural Representative for Huron County. The assistant to Huron's Representative Don Pullen graduated with his B.S.A. from the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph during the 1969 spring convocation. Miller's main farm management responsibilities will be in the area of Field Crop Production and Marketing. T-A photo. driving from a forward machine. The tandem hitch includes a coupling brace, forward gear levers, and a control harness which replaces the steering wheel. The entire tandem equipment can be purchased through the OFA for about $600. Equipment with the Ford 5000 model also included a turbotiller, a British version of a cultivator. The Federation display also advertised the upcoming charter flight to the Royal Smithfield Show in London, England. The show is the largest agricultural Ministers at convention As many as seven government Ministers may attend this year's annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture from November 10 to 12 at the Skyline Hotel in Toronto.

GERALD SHANTZ Sales & Service 236-4036 Zurich age 12 Times-Advocate, October 30, 1969 Farm vacation programs again planned for next year Charles G. Munro, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, believes that "two of the greatest concerns confronting farmers on an international scale are pollution and the widening gap between developed and developing countries. Mr. Munro is presently in Tokyo, Japan, attending the 17th General Conference of the International Federation of Agriculture Producers (IFAP). In an editorial statement released recently the OFA President outlined certain expectations prior to his departure. He outlined such conference agenda topics as agricultural co-operation, population growth, food aid, trends and long-term outlooks, pollution, price incentives, supply-demand imbalance, and the market position of the individual fanner, In referring to convention. working material, Mr. Munro affirms the IFAP position that "if past trends continue, we are. headed for an unhappy future," Re goes on to emphasize that "the large surpluses, compared to the low production areas (of the world), present a frightening situation," The Federation President stresses that "agricultural production must be re-examined' on a very regular basis in order to guarantee adequate changes in production, marketing, research, development, and aid as the world's population continues to multiply," I 41. 4
