"If you don't get tough enough you won't accomplish anything," he said. Prof Thain, a member of the federal task force on agriculture that reported in 1970, was keynote speaker at the federation's 35th annual con- vention, "People who get together and stick together are the people who come out on top," he said. "Doctors are getting organized. Professors are getting organized. Welfare recipients are getting organized. But I don't see this same trend towards closer co- operation in farmers." Prof. Thain said he uidn't think farmers had recognized the need to fight for survival. He said he didn't approve of violence, but that university students got more respect after throwing a few bricks through windows than by years of talking. "The plain fact is that your needs aren't deep enough, and your motivations aren't great enough to give your leadership political clout." Prof., Thain said that until the Ontario Federation of Agriculture has achieved power through numbers, it cannot seriously attempt to improve the farmers' lot in an essentially urban society. Achievement night The twenty-fourth Annual Huron County 4-H Achievement Night will be held in the Seaforth High School, on Friday, December 3rd commencing at 8:00 p.m. All Huron County 4-H Agricultural Club members who completed a project in 1971 will receive their awards on this occasion, as well as those who have received special trophies and awards for their 1971 4-H club work.

In making any investment we have to ask ourselves, is it going to be profitable? and can we afford it?" In making a point on short term financing, Miles said, "Don't get a loan for only a year to buy a cow and expect returns that quickly." Continuing he said, "Be careful, don't make your debt commitments more than your capacity to repay." Centralia school committee named An advisory committee on diploma education at Centralia College including three district men has been established by Ontario Agriculture Minister William Stewart. The committee will make recommendations related to the future educational requirements of persons working in farming and agribusiness to recommend the educational programs needed to meet these requirements. —Hie committee will also consider ways to encourage more young people to study agriculture, to make more ex- tensive use of the facilities at the college and to promote and publicize the aims, objectives, and facilities of the college among farmers, prospective farmers, employers and the public," the announcement said. Heading the committee is James Huctwith of Forest. Included from this area are Edwin Miller, R.R. 3, Exeter; Ross Marshall, R.R. 1, Kirkton and Allan Hill of Lucan. Others are Jack Haggerty, Stratford, Bev Shipley, Denfield, Jules De Brabandere, St. Marys, Ross Proctor, Brussels and Percy Pletch, Walkerton. Miles, now a • farm management specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food in Toronto revealed that he sees farm problems confusing. An individual farmer must look at what's best for himself, the Ag Rep takes a broader look at the entire county and policy makers have to design programs to do "the mostest for the mostest." "You must become aware that credit is a marketable com- modity. Lending agencies don't loan you money, they sell it. Some farmers don't shop around for money like they do a car or Ask subsidies be retroactive Delegates to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture annual convention in Hamilton decided last week to ask the Ontario government for retroactive subsidies to farmers. The decision came in the face of an announcement that farmers in Quebec will get nearly $5 million in retro-active subsidies, most of it going to hog and egg producers who over the past year have suffered from prices consistently below the cost of production. Convention delegates called the Quebec subsidies unfair com- petition. They said that Ontario farmers had been hit just as badly by low prices and couldn't compete with subsidized Quebec products. Ask more speed on gas refunds The Ontario government should find some way to send gas tax refunds to farmers more quickly, delegates to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture agreed in Ilamilton last week. At present, farmers using gasoline in their farming operations must first pay the provincial gas tax, and then apply for a refund to the Department of Revenue, Delegates complained that this procedure tied up working capital needed for other pur- poses. Questioned at a breakfast meeting, Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough said he would investigate the possibility of coloured gas for farm use. One delegate said farmers in Saskatchewan use coloured gas for farm use and that they didn't have to pay gas tax on it. On another issue, delegates to the convention instructed the federation to develop a new method of measuring producer opinion on farm policy questions. Delegates suggested that only farmers with a significant por- tion of their incomes affected by the implementation of a policy should have the right to vote on the policy. Farmers at the con- vention claimed that a small clique of dissenters had mastered the art of misleading and con- fusing farmers, and that a true expression of opinion was therefore impossible. machinery. Get the best terms and conditions possible. " Huron farmers were told they have a competitive advantage due to the climate, land, drainage and markets. Miles continued, "We have to know where to market before we produce and how much. With an all-time high price for beans this year, I hear Huron farmers are planning on increasing acreage for next year. If this happens don't cry if the prices go down," Presidents of two neighbouring Soil and Crop Associations were guests at the banquet. After hearing the guest speaker, Clarence Switzer of Perth County said his summation of the address would be "Be careful. Do a little thinking before spending a lot of money." Harry Knip of Middlesex ad- vised the assembled farmers to "use our soils in a responsible manner and save our way of life as farmers." Alex McBeath will be the president for the coming year. Howard Datars of Hay township moves up to first vice-president with Tom Cunningham of Hullett becoming second vice-president.
