From the Nanaimo, B.C.,
Free Press: "The mayor is
enjoying what summer we have
had with his interests in boasting
and fishing."
A meeting of Local 317 of
the N.F.U. was held recently in
the Exeter Legion Hall. We were
pleased to welcome Bill Sim,
Director of District 5. He gave a
brief resume of the N.F.U.
activities in Middlesex, Lambton
and Elgin counties.
The main concern of Mr. Sim
is that farmers must be educated
in the ways of collective
bargaining if they are to rise
above the role of second class
citizens that has been thrust
upon us.
Jerry Huzevka was the
keynote speaker. He reinforced
the point made by Mr. Sim that
collective bargaining is the key
to progress in the farming
business. Presently national and
international conglomerats
control governments which are
merely puppets. Mr. Huzevka
said that what governments call
surplus is really inventory and
could be dispersed with a system
of orderly marketing.
The N.F.U. is not out to
destroy marketing boards. They
have done and are still doing
many worthwhile things but
government last week quietly
announced the establishment of
roadside stands in the Niagara
area. The government is to be
congratulated for doing
something they said they
wouldn't do.
In November of 1968, the
OFA asked the government to
allow the establishment of
roadside stands on
controlled-access highways. The
government firmly stated at that
time that no stands would be
allowed.
In the past 17 months, the
Federation has re-stated the
request. The proposal from the
Federation was originally for
farmers in eastern Ontario.
The OFA president hopes
that farmers all across Ontario
will be able to benefit from the
study of this new program.

Make recommendations
for vegetable herbicides
The following
recommendations and
information for 1970 herbicide
use in vegetable prodnction are
offered by Professor C. G.
Waywell, Department of
Horticultural $cienee, Ontario
Agricultural College, University
of Guelph.
Prornetryne and linuron are
still the best herbicides to use on
the carrot crop, On muck soils,.
prom etryne used as a
pre-emergence treatment
provides less control than
linuron, but there has been no
damage recorded after eight
years of testing with
pronietryne.
It does not control all weed
species found on a marsh, but
when applied as a pre-emergence
treatment, followed by linuron
after the crop is more than three
inches high, it has rendered the
crop weed-free for the remainder
of the season.
Pr ornetryne applied as
directed in the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food Publication 363, 1970
Vegetable Production
Recommendations, has provided
weed-free conditions for the
celery crop after several years of
trials on the Bradford Marsh.
Naptalam (or Alanap-3) is the
only herbicide that can be
recommended for cucumbers.
Although other chemicals have
been tried, nothing else can be
recommended for this crop at
this time.
Linuron should be used only
at seeding or after a cutting, on
parsley, and will cause injury if
it is used on the emerged crop.
Several varieties of tomato
have been treated successfully
with trifluralin (Treflan) used as
a preplant-incorporated
treatment. Although some
growers claim that this has
reduced yields, Dr. Waywell says
he can find no data from
replicated field trials to support
this claim.
Chlorpropham (CIPC) and
CDEC (Vegadex) are the only
herbicides that can be
recommended for lettuce. Other
experimental herbicides either
did not provide satisfactory
weed control or damaged the
crop at the rates required for
weed control. Vegadex should
not be recommended for soils
high in organic matter.
Dr. Waywell notes that while
the supply. of Pyrazon (Pyramin)
was low in some areas of the
province in 1969, the suppliers
have ensured that stocks will be
adequate for 1970.
President asks
for legislation
The recommendations of the
Committee on Farm Assessment
and Taxation should be put into
legislation as soon as possible by
the provincial government says
Gordon. Hill, President of
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
He states the government has
had five months to consider the
committee's recommendations.
"Now they must act."
The OFA wants particular
attention given to the 10
recommendations concerning
assessment of farms. The
Federation leader explains the
most significant recommend-
ation calls for a maximum tax
base on farm property, to be
established according to soil
capability.
Other recommendations
concern (1) value of farm
residence, (2) value of other
farm buildings, (3) forest land
assessment, and (4) market
value.
In other area, the provincial
need the assistance of a major
farm organization to become
most effective. All farmers
across Canada must co-ordinate
their efforts. We cannot let
corporations and agri-business
play one province against
another or even one commodity
against another to suppress the
farmer.
Mr Huzevka pointed out that
aven though our urban friends are
Freight assistance
remains the same
Agriculture Minister H.A.
(Bud) Olson announced today
that rates of assitance under the
Feed Freight Assistance program
will be maintained at present
levels for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 1971.
In making the announcement
at this time, the Minister said he
wished to remove any fear that
the continuing heavy demand
for feed grains would mean a
reduction in assistance rates. He
also wished to assure livestock
feeders of a continuation of the
present rates to assist them in
making their production plans
for the year ahead.
The present rates which were
established in November 1969
provide a generally equalized
transportation cost to feeding
areas in eastern Canada and in
British Columbia.
The Minister pointed out that
it was extremely difficult to
accurately forecast feed grain
needs in eastern Canada and
British Columbia because of the
many variable factors involved.
Any changes in local feed grain
production, market
relationships, or in feeder
intentions could appreciably
alter present demand
projections.
Shipments under the program
in the fiscal year ending March
31, 1970 exceeded 3 million
tons, and could range between
3.0 and 3.6 million tons in the
1970-71 fiscal year. Estimates of
both hog and poultry
production are up appreciably
over a year ago.

April 13th, Blake Sanford,
National Director of the N.F.U.
addressed members and guests at
Huron Centennial School,
Brucefield. He commenced his
most informative address with a
headline from a current issue of
the Star Weekly "If Your
Income Hasn't Doubled in the
Last Ten Years, You're Not up
with the Rest of Us". Where
does this leave the farmer? The
position of the farmer in this
country is not all that good! We
are producing 1/3 more for 10%
less. It is impossible to go on this
way.
Mr. Sanford pointed out that
the strength of the N.F.U. lies in
its membership. Apathy will ruin
the farmers. It is up to us what
becomes of the business of
farming. We have the choice of
organizing or becoming janitors
in chicken coops and hog
houses. It is entirely up to us to
stand up for what is rightfully
ours.
