Area The Ailsa Craig seed firm of Alex. M. Stewart and Son Ltd. has been awarded A National Research Council assistance grant worth a minimum of $258,000 over the next five years for crop research. Company President John A. Optimism pervades the NDP Huron Riding Association. Provincial Council member Herb Klopp reported last week that the riding is well above the quota assigned it in the spring mem- bership drive. President Wilf Glazier an- nounced at a meeting held in the Murphy L.O.L., Clinton that due to the upsurge in membership, the As ciation is entitled to send a secend voting delegate to the NDP National Leadership Convention at the Civic Centre in Ottawa this week. Mrs. Shirley Weary was elected to attend at an earlier meeting. At Clinton, Mr. Ed Bain was chosen as the second voting delegate and Mrs. Kay Stoddard was appointed an alternate. All three are residents of Goderich. Members heard reports of proceedings at a conference held March 14, at Waterloo University to discuss farm problems and in particular NDP farm policy with nominated NDP candidates for an expected provincial election. Those who attended from Huron were Wilf Glazier, Ed Bain, Bob McMillan and Shirley Weary. Donald Macdonald self styled 'farmer from South York' addressed the conference. He said that NDP farm policy is to keep as many farmers on the land as economically possible. He stressed that the burden of education costs must be shifted from property taxes which not only are regressive but are too inflexible to provide the necessary revenue; consequently an NDP government in its first term of office will raise the present provincial share of 50 percent overall to 80 percent by the end of the term of office, making the shift in a step-by-step way, "This will enable municipalities to plan ahead, and will permit the provincial government to find the large sums of money required through a restructuring of the tax system and general economic growth. Further assumption of educational costs will be reviewed when the 80 percent is achieved." Mr. Macdonald stated. In line with declared NDP education policy Mr. MacMillan presented a resolution to the Clinton meeting which was discussed and approved to be forwarded to the ND? Provincial Council. It read as follows; Whereas the present education tax structure is unfair to land and property owners, and Whereas the Ontario Govern- ment has recognized this inequity firm gets Stewart also announced ap- pointment of Prof. George Jones of the University of Guelph to head the company's research, plant breeding and production programs. Prof. Jones is widely known across rural Ontario for his and has taken action in the form of an education tax refund to qualified farmers, Therefore be it resolved that the NDP act to insure that the present education tax structure is changed to one where the tax- payer is charged for education in direct proportion to his ability to pay.

PERSONALS Reverend King is a patient in Toronto General Hospital. contributions to the steady in- crease in corn production which now covers nearly 2 million. Ontario acres. He has been on the staff of the crop science department at the Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph, for the past 19 years. Often referred to as a maverick in agricultural circles, Prof. Jones has been one of the corn industry's biggest promoters over the past 10 years. He has often drawn the wrath of fellow researchers in other crops when he has stressed the value of corn to Ontario's livestock industry compared with other grains and forages. Mr. Stewart said NRC grant is based on yearly minimums. The 1971 allocation is $48,000. Totals for the next four years will be decided on an annual basis. The figure of $258,000 is a minimum but the five-year total could be higher if the council decides the research programs warrant extra funds. For many years the Stewart firm was involved in the pedigreed cereal business and later expanded into grasses and clovers, It moved into seed corn six years ago with four one-pound samples of hybrid. • "We have since realized that if we are to remain a viable seed company, we have to develop more of our own varieties," said Mr. Stewart. "We have seen the big seed companies in the United States doing this and moving into other countries, including Canada. It has now become important for us to change our system and instead of merely multiplying public varieties, we must develop our own." He said the NRC grant will enable the Stewart firm to pay particular attention to research Bluevale Community hall was filled last Monday evening when the Huron County Historical Society held its first meeting of the year. Reeve William Elston was chairman. He welcomed all the Bluevale community and Mr. Harold Turner of Goderich, president, welcomed all on behalf of the Society. Mrs, Amber Popp of Clinton gave the financial statement showing a balance of $636.81, and the 1970 membership of 153. Magistrate Glen Hays spoke of the research work that Mrs. Popp had to do in answering correspondence and stated an assistant would be named. Mr. Turner stated it was hoped a key member could be found in each community that could help in answering these enquiries about family trees etc. He also urged good attendance at the May .13 meeting in the Women's Institute Hall in Belgrave when Mrs Walter Scott will speak on the history of the Belgrave community. The June 16 bus trip to Doon museum was also stressed and anyone wanting to go should contact Mrs. Amber Popp, 165 Rattenbury St. E. Clinton. The history of Bluevale was interestingly told by Mrs. Alice Aiken. She told about the many industries that had been carried on down through the years since 1884. Mr. Walter Shortreed told about the early life of the early settlers in Morris Township. The history of Turnberry Township was given by Mr. Alvin Smith. He said Turnberry had been named after Turnberry Castle in Scotland when it was founded in 1857. Several members of these communities spoke for a few minutes on early days in their district. A reading, "The Bluevale Girls Girls against the Jamestown Girls (Ball team)" was given by Mrs. Harry Elliott. A singsong was enjoyed with Mrs. Harvey Robertson as leader and Mrs. Connie Mann at the piano. A mouth organ trio was played by Harvey Robertson, Bernard in earlier hybrid corn varieties, earlier-maturing soybeans and hybrid barley. He referred to these grains as the "energy and protein feeds of importance." Mr. Stewart said the grant means the NRC has taken a new attitude to supporting private industry in agricultural research in attempting to develop new and better crop varieties. While major emphasis will be placed on finding earlier maturing hybrid corns, serious attempts will also be made to try to breed in resistance to corn blight, stalk rot and corn borer. Mr. Stewart said to this end Prof., Jones will build a research team around him to carry out their new program in the firm's farms The firm's farms in the Ailsa Craig area will become known as Stewart's Crop Research Acres. The NRC has appointed Dr. J. W. Morrison, research co- ordinator for the Canada department of agriculture's cereal crops division, liaison officer between the Stewart firm and the NRC. This opens the door for the Stewart firm to receive assistance from the federal department and its facilities. Prof. Jones forecast that within the next 15 years, Ontario could reach its maximum corn production potential of around 4 million acres. In the meantime, the development of earlier hybrids will allow the industry to move into vast areas of southern Alberta and Manitoba, Quebec and the Maritimes. Prof. Jones said so far most of the major companies haven't moved into the earlier hybrid field. But he suggested develop- ment of earlier hybrids is vital if corn is to gain national prominence.
