VICTORIA and GREY Holstein club holds meet VG TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1880 A motion put forward by a meeting of 300 National Farmers' Union local officers at ' Toronto, recently demanded that milk producers subsidy cheques from the Federal Dairy Commission accompany the regular cheques received from the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. The discontentment of producers payment for ha March s become being pronounced in recent weeks as a result of the federal adjustment cheques being over three months late; received only recently, William Langdon, Chairman of the National Farmers' Union Dairy Committee has written Agricultural Minister Olson, conveying the producers' dissatisfaction of the irregular issuance of the cheques. Mr. Langdon said that "in- variably the Canadian Dairy Commission has placed the blame on inaccurate computer programing and insufficient staff; also the lack of computer time. While we accepted the possibility of this happening once or even twice, we do not feel that the dairy farmers should be discriminated against in this matter, In many cases, this creates a hardship on people who are already overtaxed with debts, and have a problem of producing a product at below the cost of production. Added to this, many suppliers of inputs to these far- mers have moved to demanding cash on delivery, e.g. implement and feed dealers. Many fuel dealers are demanding cash in 30 days which has not been their practice in the past. In this computer age, there is no justification for these delays in the future," he said. "We would hope that from now on these adjustment cheques could be received monthly by the producers or at least on the same cdhaetq, date as their monthly milk Mr. Langdon told Mr. Olson, "If the Federal Government is unable to make provisions for this, we suggest that they con- sider the possibility of turning this procedure over to, and paying the O.M.M,B. to provide this service."

"After you have spoken to your assessment office, write to Ontario Federation of Agriculture, 387 Bloor Street East, Toronto 285, giving details of your assessment and property. We have found that some assessment offices are reluctant to make coding corrections. But if we have the necessary in- formation we can exert pressure from this end too," "I invite any farmer who hasn't received his rebate-whether he's a member of the federation or not — to write to me, Gordon Hill, about his rebate problem."

"This is an extremely un- fortunate situation," commented Gordon Hill of Varna, President of Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This rebate was awarded to all farmers, and all farmers should receive it." "If any farmer hasn't received his rebate, here's what I suggest he do. First he should contact his local assessment office to check the coding of his property If it's coded residential or commercial, or something other than farm, he should ask the assessment office to correct it, and pass the in- formation on the Department of Safety — a word of importance • Safety = a word of increasing importance for today's modern farmer. Today he is surrounded by complicated machinery which helps him to increase the amount of food he produces for a hungry world. Responsibility — another important word. The production of food is an immense respon- sibility. But it goes further. Today's farmer still takes pride in his independence. But without responsibility for his own per- sonal safety and that of his family and fellow workers, both health and future are endangered.
