District members share county awards export would have returnee another 15c per cwt., also the freeing of the dollar in April cost another 5c per hundred. One might say we had to wait for our money so it cost us interest. However, under the system in 1966 we had 77c tied up until November while this year with some returned in April, only the final 43c was tied up .until November ma king the situation equal. Also, bean dealers had a much better year in 1969 with a guarantee of $1.25 per hundred for handling charges. In 1966 we saw beans sold for $7.80, which left the dealer with 80c or less handling return and one dealer going bankrupt. Looking at these situations, I cannot help but feel our marketing plan has added strength to the industry. Going into the 1970 crop harvest, we had sudden rises in price, due to weather conditions. The processed price of beans found levels of $11 and higher. For several weeks while these prices prevailed the Michigan producers were still receiving $6.50 for their beans. We, however, will share in these prices through our pool." In answer to a question as to any increased costs to the producer through the agency system, Allan said, "This costs nothing extra. All of our office and administrative costs are paid by the 6c licence fee paid by the growers, and this fee hasn't changed over the past years." The licence fees paid by growers in 1970 was $69,839. Sales of white and yellow-eye beans in the 1969 crop pool amounted to just a shade over ten million dollars with returns to the grower of $7,659,930 for the initial and second payment. Coates herd at Chicago Hereford cattle from the Whitney Coates and Son herd made their second annual trip to the Chicago Livestock Exposition. The local showmen were successful in bringing home five ribbons won by five cattle. Their highest placing was fifth. Whitney Coates spent a week in Chicago while son Keith motored to the Illinois City Sunday to assist in the showing. He was accompanied by Murray McTaggart, London and Dennis Warren, Lambeth. A Langton area breeder, J. Slaght also made the American trip and placed with three head of cattle. Social evening for Farm Union Local 317, N.F.U. held their social evening in "Ye Olde Theatre," Grand Bend, on Friday evening. The winners of the beef draw Were announced. 1st prize, Mrs. A. J. Perry, RR 5, Woodstock; 2nd prize, Joyce Moran, RR 7, Lucknow; 3rd prize, David Leasa, RR 3, Stratford. The winners on the turkey draws were Dorothy Mellin, RR 3, Parkhill, Ron Desjardine, RR 2, Dashwood, Bill Dixon, Lucan, The final payment to farmers was 43c per cwt. totalling $534,230.99. The Ontario Crop Insurance Commission has made some adjustments in their white bean coverage for the coming years, In future claims will be based on each grower's , five-year average instead of the county average. Premiums will be dropped 5% each year to a maximum of five years for growers that do not have claims. The average price on which claims will be based has been increased to $6.50. In a promotion vein, Allan told the audience that white beans are the cheapest source of protein available. He said that two-thirds of the necessary protein in a diet can come from beans at a cost of four cents per meal. Other figures listed were peanut butter 10c, hamburg 17c, roasts 42c and steaks 83c. Four directors of the Marketing Board were named from Huron. They were Robert Allan, Phil Durand, Keith Lovell and Joseph Miller who replaces the retiring Charles Rau. Rau is now a member of the Huron County Board of Education as the separate school representative. Two new growers were named to the district 5 committee. They are Jack Ford, Stephen township and Jack McGregor of Tuckersmith. Incumbent members returned to office were Bob Allan, Phil Durand, James Love, Richard Erb, Donald Brodie, Joseph Miller, Murray Dennis, Stephen Dietrich, Keith Lovell and Orville Storey. Charles Broadwell, board manager and marketing agent, told the meeting that the average yield this year is expected to be about 1,440 pounds per acre. He said the high yield, coupled with continuing strong prices, should give the growers $25 more an acre in gross income than they've had in any year since 1964. He also said he has hopes that a market may develop in Cuba. Mr. Broadwell said 1,000 tons have been sold to Cuba and since the Michigan growers — Ontario's competitor in the white bean market — cannot sell to the Cubans, it is possible Ontario may be able to export more there. There were 81,200 acres of beans grown in Ontario this year producing 1,175,000 cwt. of beans, he said. Huron County remained the biggest' producer with 35,000 acres, while Kent County continued to drop. Kent in 1968 grew 16,300 acres, dropped to 11,000 last year, and in 1970 produced only 5,000 acres. This will mean that the number of directors on the marketing board from Kent will drop from three to one. Soil and disease experts told the growers that planting less per acre is an assistance to reduce white mould disease and said that rather than planting as much as 90 pounds of seed per acre, the growers should consider planting 40 pounds per acre and less.

Allan went on to say, "For about three years before agency, our growers got about 53c per bag less than the United States farmers and two years since the system was adopted, the Canadian price averaged 80c per bag higher." Part of Allan's report is as follows: "The 1969 crop was the third largest produced in Canada and combined with Michigan was within a few thousand bags of the record 1966 crop. With these surplus conditions prevailing the downward pressure was strong. It is always hard to compare years, but I feel one can draw a comparison with 1966 and 1969. In 1966 we averaged $7.05 per cwt. for our crop, in 1969 the average is $6.99 per cwt. However, this year we have 3% less tariff protection going into the United Kingdom, which with over half of our crop going Many Thanks Many thanks to the rate payers of McGillivary Township who gave me their support on Dec. 7 and the very best in season's greetings to everyone.
