New courses
at Ridgetown
Two new elective courses —
Welding, and Crop Conditioning
and Processing — were offered
for the first time this year at the
Ridgetown College of
Agricultural Technology, a
branch of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food.
Mr. Mel Sojak, of the
Engineering Division at the
College, reports that the Welding
course is now offered to a
limited number of students. The
welding program concentrates
on giving students, a
comprehensive knowledge of
welding equipment and its use.
"We don't turn out master
welders," said Mr. Sojak, "but
we do ensure that the students
will have a sufficient knowledge
of the techniques involved so
that they can do their own farm
welding.'
Both oxyacetylene and arc
welding equipment is used.
Safety is stressed at all times.
Welding is evaluated by experts,
and though there is some
lecturing, most of the course
work is practical.
The Crop Conditioning and
Processing course is given in the
fall to prepare for the harvesting
season. Methods of storing grain,
cribbing corn, processing and
handling high moisture corn, and
the principles of bin storage are
studied.
Students are taught the
theory of drying in
batch-in-bins, portable and
continuous driers. Correct
storage of grain with proper
temperature control, screening
processes, and the maintenance
of all storing and processing
equipment is covered.

A. Roy Coulter, President of
the Ontario Farm Machinery
Agency, a company owned by
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, states that the
agency importation program
now has official justification for
continuing and even expanding
as soon as possible,
Mr. Coulter was reacting to
the release of the Royal
Commission on Farm
Machinery, conducted by
Clarence L. Barber.
The agency president states
that the findings of the
Commission have been
illustrated by the importation of
about 300 tractors from Britain
at considerable Savings to
Ontario Farmers.
This fact backs up the report

finding that farmers could have
saved $15,000,000 in 1968 if
they had been able to purchase
tractors at prices comparable to
those in the United Kingdom.
The publication of the report
comes immediately before a
meeting planned for next week
by the agency with officials of
the Zetor tractor manufacturing
firm of Czechoslovakia. The
talks will concern possible future
plans to import the Czech
machinery.
The agency assisted in the
importation of four Zetor
tractors late last year for
demonstrations across the
province. Agency and OFA
officials and numerous farmers
in Ontario are very impressed
with the tractors.
The executive of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture firmly
believes that the organization
should be controlled and
financed by its Individual
Service Members.
To reach this goal, the
executive strongly recommends
that the OFA undergo a
complete re-structuring process.
The recommendations form a
timetable of change in a
progressive schedule which
involves farmers and their
supporting organizations at the
individual, township, county,
and commodity levels.
OFA President Gordon Hill
emphasizes the determination of
the executive to have the control
of the organization with the
Individual Service Members. But
he also stresses the fact that the
opinions of Commodity
organizations will be considered,
through commodity committees
at both the provincial and local
levels.
The executive proposal, comes
as a result of recent meetings
across the province between two
special OFA committees and
numerous county and
commodity organizations.
The recommendations were
first presented and explained at
a special meeting of commodity
organization representatives in
Toronto last week. Each board
was invited to attend the
meeting and bring all executive
members. All but one

"JUST SOCIETY" and who will
organize to create desired
changes.
The first action of the Junior
Directors will be to hold a
District workshop.

Robert S. McKercher,
Dublin beef farmer, was
re-elected president of United
Co-operatives of Ontario at the
organization's 22nd annual
meeting, which was incorporated
in CO-OP SHOWCASE '70 at
London last week.
Also re-elected to their
executive posts were 1st
vice-president, Fred Hamilton,
of Guelph 2nd vice-president,
Bruce McCutcheon, of Proton,
and past-president Fenton
Cryderman, of Thamesville.
Some 350 delegates, or 80
percent of those eligible,
attended.
In board elections, three
directors were returned. They
are Mr. Hamilton and Mr.
Cryderman, and Harold
Schmidt, of Baden. A new
director, Clifford Allen, of
Kingston, replaced former Zone
3 director, Herb Stillman of
Campbellford.
A comprehensive discussion
on the effects of the White Paper
on Taxation on co-operatives
dominated the day-long meeting.
Roland Pigeon, president of the
Quebec regional co-operative,
Co-operative Federee; Willard
Dernier, general manager of
Maritime Co-operative Services;
Breen Melvin, president of the
Co-operative Union of Canada,
and Leonard Harman, UCO's
general manager, all expressed
the opinion that, at its worst,
the White Paper would seriously
effect co-operatives. At its best,
they indicated, it will leave
co-operatives in a poorer
position tax-wise than they, are
now.
A special members'
investment plan was introduced
at the meeting. The plan offers
investment units of $300 each.
A special UCO debenture makes
up $200 of the unit, the
remainder being a six percent
UCO Class B preference share.
One half unit is the minimum a
member' can buy and the
maximum is seven units. The
combined rate of return is 8.33
percent. They will be available
through UCO retail branch
stores across Ontario.
Guest speaker at the huge
banquet that evening, seating
1,200 people at the Progress
Building, was Dr. Grant Carman,
director of information for the
Canada Department of
Agriculture. He advised his
audience that the know-how was
available today to increase farm
production, and that unless they
learnt how to use it, they would
be left behind.
Some 3,500 co-operative
members and visitors from
across the province attended the
Showcase, of co-operative
products and services, held the
following day at the Western
Fairgrounds. They were received
by an array of experts speaking
on topics ranging from livestock
feeds to the new direct-charge
grocery co-operatives. They were
also treated to colourful displays
of co-operatives services in crop
products, feeds, Petroleum,
livestock and grain marketing.

Imports are justified
commodity organization in one
large meeting to further consider
a course of action for the
proposal.
Mr. Hill repeated during the
meeting that farmers are looking
for leadership which must come
from their general and
commodity organization.
The proposal states that the
main objectives of the OFA will
be to help farmers improve their
economic positions and also to
represent farmers in general, and
members in particular, to
government and the rest of
society.
In forming grass-roots
organizations, the OFA wishes
the local group to have an
executive composed of
representatives of Individual
Service Members and also local
commodity committees.
It is stressed that locals will
be formed on a community,
township, or trading area basis.
The executive points out
there should be a staged move
from the present to the
proposed position concerning
representation to the OFA
policy-making body.
The OFA will be financed
ftorn a combination of the
following: 1. Individual Service
Memberships; 2. County
Assessment levy and grants;
3. Service and retainer fees from
commercial organizations.
