BANK OF COMMERCE OFA president returned, elected by acclamation 01 16 Times, AcIvocatio, December' 3, 1970 lVfore than 200 farmers from. Improvement Association held president for the coming year all corners of the county at the Dashwood Community succeeding Bob Broadfoot of attended the annual meeting of Centre, Friday night, Kippen, the Huron Soil and Crop Doug McNeil was The guest speaker was. John Butler, principal of the College of Agricultural Technology at New Liskeard in Northern Ontario. Butler was assistant agricultural representative in Huron County from 1951 to 1953. He showed film strips of the northern country and talked of the crops and climate. The growing season in the north is short and quick from May 10 to August 20. Most of the land is heavy clay with drainage a big problem facing farmers. On the better farm units yields of 65-100 bushel of oats and 50-80 bushel of barley per acre are realized. Livestock is the basis of the agricultural economy due to the climatical limits on crops. The guest speaker went on to say, — Please turn to page 22 Time for book analysis It is Farm Record Book analysis time again. Farmers who may wish to have their 1970 Farm Record Book summarized should forward it to the Agricultural Office, Clinton, during January. As before, the completed Farm Book will not be leaving the Clinton office. The checking of the book will be done by local Agricultural Office staff, and a summary card forwarded to the computer at the University of Guelph for analysis. The book may be brought to the Agricultural Office or mailed in. Anyone who would like assistance on completing their record book may call our office for an appointment. Every farmer in Huron County who has completed an Ontario Farm Record Book in 1970 is welcome to make use of this "no fee" analysis service. Any farmer who wishes to learn how to begin keeping the "Ontario Farm Record Book" for 1971 should contact the Agricultural office at Clinton during December. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture showed confidence in it's president by electing Gordon Hill to a second term by acclamation at the annual convention in Toronto, Monday. Hill, who operates a 700-acre livestock and cash crop farm near Varna received a standing ovation as he strode to the platform after seven other nominees for the position had withdrawn. Among those seven was the name of Walter Miller, the vice-president of the National Farmers Union, which is at odds with the OFA on most farm policies. Mr. Hill is just completing his first year as head of the reorganized federation. He is a former president and now an outcast member of the rival Ontario Farmers Union, "I have no doubt that for the president to carry out his obligation, he must have your support. I thought an election would be a good way to find that out, but your attitude today shows that we are united," said Mr. Hill. "We will have a better year next year than we did this year by going down the road together. We laid the foundation last year and now we are going to pile the blocks on and up until farmers have a real say in their industry." Mr. Hill became fully involved in the federation only last year after the defeat of the General Organization plebiscite in Ontario. As a member of Ontario's special committee on farm income, Mr. Hill was a strong advocate of a GFO to unite all Ontario farmers. Outside the convention hall, Mr. Hill said he hoped the new year would see increased participation among farmers and a much stronger membership. He hoped revenue could be increased through the sale of more memberships to enable the federation to hire additional staff with legal, economic and sociological skills. REINSTATE TAX PROGRAM At the same meeting, Monday, OFA members authorized their executive to reinstate a tax-withholding action next year if suitable education tax reforms are not instituted by the provincial government. Federation members conducted a summer-long program of withholding and threatening to withhold the educatin portion of their municipal taxes. The action helped lead to a 25--per cent tax rebate on farm property announced by the provincial government Oct. 6. Cost to the provincial treasury is about $20 million. It took members nearly an hour to decide whether to congratulate themselves for winning the first round in the education tax issue. The convention finally agreed it "spearheaded" instead of won the first round. A resolution on tax reform noted the Ontario government has admitted that the current tax structure is not fair to property-owners and asked that support be sought from other property-owners for further changes in education tax policies. At an evening banquet, Agriculture Minister William A. Stewart reiterated his government's commitment to eventually remove education taxes from farm property. He said farmers should recognize that the 25-per-cent tax rebate is only an interim measure. He reminded the convention that the provincial government has spent over $400,000,000 in the last two years to reduce the tax burden on municipalities through such programs as the provincial takeover of costs for the administration of justice and GORDON HILL the implementation of the home shelter grants., The convention tabled a resolution asking that all school facilities be provided at minimum cost to farm organizations for farm meetings. Earlier, president Gordon Hill, called the tax rebate one of the largest single benefits ever won by farmers. While the rebate meant an extra $20 million for Ontario farmers, "an even greater benefit is the assurance and confidence it has given farmers in their ability to solve their problems Announce New Healing Substance: Shrinks Piles Exclusive healing substance proven to shrink hemorrhoids and repair damaged tissue. A renowned research institute has found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly It relieves itching and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing' of the injured, inflamed tissue. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place Most important of all—results were so thorough that this improve. ment was maintained over a period of many months. This was accomplished with a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue. Now Bio-Dyne is offered in oint- ment 'and suppository form called Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug stores. Satisfaction or your money refunded, by working together," he said. "Although this (the rebate) is not what we requested, farmers recognized it as a step in the right direction and indicative of government intention to resolve the matter soon," said Mr. Hill. However, the Varna farmer said, the education tax issue is by no means settled. "Government has not accepted the principle of education tax based on ability to* pay. This is vital, and we must continue to press this issue." Reviewing the past year, Mr. Hill said the federation has now sold more than 5,800 individual service memberships which he said represented more "direct members than any other farm organization in Ontario." He said the OFA's objective of 10,000 individual memberships can easily be reached before Sept. 30, 1971, if everyone gets behind the sales program. Looking ahead, Mr. Hill said pollution, pesticides and the disposal of animal waste will be of increasing importance. Jim Easton got a Commerce Bankplan loan and separated the boys from the boys. Jim had four rambunctious boys and only one room for them to sleep in. Now, he needed to turn the TV room into another bedroom. His first move was to the Commerce. Where he asked for a Bankplan loan. We sat down with Jim and found out how much furniture, rugs, and re-decorating the room would cost. Then we set up a monthly repayment plan that his budget could afford. This kind of planned personal service is why we call it a Bankplan loan. Former. Huron 09 manager IS speaker at soil banquet named SEED CORN How Resistant Are Your Present Hybrids To Leaf Blight?
