Under the Marketing board's agency system, producers receive an initial payment of $5,50 a bag at harvest. They will receive an interim payment April 15 of $2,25 cents and the final payment is normally made in early fall when the entire previous year's crop has been sold. On the 1969 crop, producers received a total of only $6.69 a bag on completion of marketing, Mr, Allen said that while he could not forecast what would happen in 1971, he expected total acreage would be about the same at between 85,000 and 90,000 acres with a chance of a 5,000-aere increase in Kent County where production has been steadily declining in recent years due to poor yields caused by blight. The marketing conference is sponsored annually by the United Co-operatives of Ontario. The UCO's grain marketing manager, Howard Pitz of Chatham, forecast soybean prices would remain at current levels for the balance of the season and suggested a favorable outlook for the new crop. Mr. Pitz said, domestically, current price levels for corn (in the $1.43 to $1.45-per bushel range) have made the commodity more competitive with imported U.S. corn for specialty markets but it has lost ground to other grains in the feed industry. Its value on world markets also is somewhat below current price levels. Lack of sufficient storage was one of the main reasons the soybean board did not move into agency marketing in which it would handle the entire crop, the board's past chairman, Milton Farough; indicated. Mr. Farough suggested perhaps the soybean and wheat marketing boards should take a close look at constructing new storage together on 30 acres of property they jointly own in Harwich Township. "Two or three million bushels of storage on the boards' property would look good, that is with a small crushing plant beside it," he said. "It seems to me it could cut down on costs of transporting soybeans to Toronto and the (soybean) meal back.. Maybe it could service this area of Southwestern Ontario." Cecil Hall, general manager of the Wanstead Co- operatives said with corn production passing the' 90-million-bushel mark, a great deal more storage will be required as corn continues to increase. He said corn must be stored in locations in which it can move. to markets at the lowest possible costs. By MRS. IRVIN RADER OASHWOOD Members and friends of Zion Lutheran Church joined together Sunday evening to observe Family Night beginning with a pot-luck dinner in the church basement.

In his topic dealing with youth protest in its various forms, he emphasized that student unrest on Canadian campuses on the whole was passive in nature rather than of the violent variety found in the U.S. He said the picture of 'the student as a hairy, wild-eyed radical is a distortion of the press and other modern mass media of communications. He cited an instance where he had been misquoted and quoted out of context giving the public a false impression of the student image.
