Following a survey of Ontario markets, Mr. Hill stated beef prices are off $2. per hundredweight, Dairy heifers and cows are down $25. to $30, each. White _beans dropped 40c per hundredweight and wheat is down 6c per bushel, Fruit, vegetables, and most other farm products will be similarly affected. Mr. Hill said, "This sorry state of affairs could be partly offset by lower prices for farm machinery and other imported goods required by farmers. However, there is no sign yet that interest rates on farm loans will be lower as a result of a reduction in the Bank of Canada rate to 7%, "This is a serious blow to farmers and further indication that they must unite in the Federation of Agriculture in order to make use of their bargaining power to demand better treatment," Mr. Hill concluded. In the Ontario Legislature, Wednesday, Premier John Robarts agreed that the industries of farming and lumbering would be hard hit because of their competitive position in world markets.

Use caution with sprays Home gardeners who are planning to use chemical sprays for their fruit gardens should exercise caution in handling and using these chemical controls. For the safety of all concerned, home gardeners should consult Publication 366, 1970 Spray Calendar for Fruits in Home Gardens, recently issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. This Calendar provides information for the home gardener on when to spray, how to spray, safely, how much and which spray to use against which pest. Information is provided on the various diseases and fungi which may affect fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. A recommended schedule for safe use of sprays on apple, pear and other fruit trees is included. Copies of the pamphlet may be obtained from the Information Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or from County and District offices. • The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is suggesting education tax withholding action should start in the fall. It is not possible to get a well-organized campaign under way across the province by mid-June. Many Head named for OFA The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has a new General Manager and Secretary-Treasurer. Gordon Hill has announced that Mr. Jack Hale will be taking over this new OFA top staff post immediately. "We are very fortunate to have a man of his ability and experience working for farmers. The Federation is making some important changes as we move ahead in our new Individual Service Membership programme", said Mr. Hill. "I am joining the Federation of Agriculture in order to serve the farmers of Ontario in building a strong and effective organization, so their voice will be clearly heard in the community", Mr. Hale explained. Mr. Hale was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1920. He has had extensive experience in the purchasing and marketing of livestock, both for industry and the farmer. Most recently he has held senior management responsibilities in the construction industry. Mr. Hale serves on The Metropolitan Toronto School Board, representing the Separate School Ratepayers and is, therefore, very familiar with the present problems of financing education. "The OFA is right. It is time to take a stand on education taxes. I will be right in there pitching for farmers in this and other areas where they need the help of an effective organization", said Mr. Hale. CROP REPORT All crops look excellent with white bean seeding 60% completed. Hay harvesting has begun particularly for haylage, with some alfalfa weevil damage noted. Rain will soon be needed as soil is rapidly drying out. REDI-MIX CONCRETE (ALSO FORM WORK! McCann Const. Ltd. DASHWOOD Phone 237.3381 or 237.3422 townships collect taxes on an annual basis only and do not collect in June. "The campaign is planned in this way so we can be better organized, have more farmers informed, and more farmers ready to withhold in the fall. The campaign will be successful when everybody understands the issues and is ready to stand and fight", said OFA President Gordon Hill. The OFA hopes it won't be necessary to take such drastic action and is urging farmers to sign petitions and send them into the Federation of Agriculture. The petition urges the government to take the cost of education off property. "What we need are truck-loads of letters and petitions, urging the government to act before there is a real show-down with farmers over school taxes. Farmers have paid more than their share for too many years. It is time for a change and if the government doesn't know it now, they will by fall," said Mr. Hill. imarimila•••••••••••••1•••••••n •1•111M FORD TRACTOR EXETER 235-1640 Larry Snider Motors Ford Blue Combines deliver more!
