The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1973-07-12, Page 14Pa90 14 July 12, 1973 Heaven in Huron If Huron county farmers are suffering bad weather, they certainly hhve it better than elsewhere, directors of the Huron county Federation of Agriculture learned Thursday night at their July meeting. First they heard it from Bill Broadworth, newly-appointed Associate Agricultural representative for Huron. Mr. Broadworth, who came from Carlton county in Eastern. Ontario said Huron is heaven compared to the East. Last year was a bad year, he said, but at least farmers in that part of the country got to plant their crops. This year many didn't even get that far because of the wet weather. Then the directors heard from Jim Jacklin, Ontario Farm Machinery Agency president from Elmwood who said that the day before had seen so much rain in that part of the country that the corn was laying in pools of water. Actually, the July meeting of the Federation suffered from good weather as only about a dozen directors and members showed up at the meeting even though the meeting was scheduled for 9 p.m. in the hope farmers would come after finishing work. Mr. Broadworth outlined to the meeting the new industrial milk incentive plan, a new five-year program disigned to boost production of industrial milk in the province. The first year, he said, the farmer would pay only the interest and in the second year a 20 percent refund of the principal of the loan was available if the farmer met the requirements for increased production. The loans, he said, can be used for purchase of cattle, an industrial milk quota or to expand facilities. In other business, it was reported by secretary-fieldman Bill Crawford, that a blitz of Colborne and West Wawanosh townships produced 59 new members. The July 18 meeting of the Legislature's Select Committee to define what a farm is and who is a farmer in Wingham was announced. HFA President Mason Bailey pointed out "The fact that this committee has been set up is directly due to the pressure OFA has been putting on government". A new constitution for the county federation was discussed and will be voted on at the next meeting in August. od•••,•-••••..•••-•-••— :•,•• Tractors Equtpmen1 RURAL EXCHANGE STUDENTS — Again this year students from country and cities are participating in a rural exchange program.

T-A photo Agency to continue price checks A week long visit by a London girl to a Clandeboye area farm has been an exciting experience. As one of some 1,000 Ontario urban students visiting farms as part of the annual rural-urban exchange program, 13 year-old Lori Van Schaik enjoyed all of the many chores necessary on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hodgins. Lori spent this week following her rural counterpart Pat Hodgins in her many duties on the farm. The agenda on the Hodgins farm has been varied and Lori has enjoyed feeding horses, cows and calves, baling hay and weeding in Pat's 4-H garden project. An additional thrill has been helping with the training of several race horses which are owned by the Hodgins family and trained at the Lucan fair grounds. One of the conditions of the visitors is they must get up in the mornings with their host and follow their usual practices throughout the day. This meant a 5 a,m. rising Sunday after a visit to Western Fair Racedway Saturday night. It was Lori's first trip to the races and she enjoyed them a lot. Asked which horse she liked the best she replied, "J. A. Express." It's one of the Hodgins horses and Pat and Lori were jogging it around the Lucan track when the T-A reporter arrived, Tuesday morning. This was Lori's first visit to a farm other than a stay of an hour or two. Her father, Fred operates a fruit and vegetable stand in the Covent Market in London. Lori will be entering grade eight at Princess Anne school in London this fall. Sometime in September Pat Hodgins will be spending a week with Lori in her London home. The rural-urban exchange program is sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Mobile park is approved Exeter council was advised this week that the Ontario Municipal Board has approved bylaw No. 14, 1972, which is the town's mobile home park bylaw. Monday night, it was indicated that approval for the mobile home park planned by Len Veri in the area north-west of the curling rink could soon get final approval. An agreement is yet to be reached between the town and the developer. OMB approval of the bylaw came more than one year after council had presented it for their approval. The Ontario Form. Machinery Agency will continue to act as watchdog to make sure farm machinery prices don't skyrocket, Jim Jacklin, president of the organization stated Thursday night to directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Jacklin, an Elmwood-area farmer who is also a member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture executive, reviewed the past work of the agency at the meeting, He noted the agency has. had three different roles during its lifetime. The first role was to reduce prices by directly importing farm machinery into the country from, abroad. He said he would not say that the agency had caused lower prices, but he'would point to the fact that until this year there had been no increase in price on the domestic market. "Overseas Prices went up," he said, "and our price went pp but we did help prohibit an increase for four and a half years." In its second role, he said, the agency changed to become a lever to help a farmer in getting a better price from his dealer. The agency would provide a quote at which the farmer could get a similar piece of machinery if the dealer did not come up with a goad price. Under its third role, the agency has become a watchdog. It is still importing some machinery in- cluding lines not available on the domestic market such as a four- wheel drive Ford tractor and cage wheels for added floatation and power for tractors and combines. But on the whole the group is there as a threat to manufacturers that it may go back into importing if prices rise. he a'Il.lid,""ntheartnweue 4dS0 sbticqonllat e another United Co-operatives of Ontario,. another farmer-owned organization." Mr, Jacklin said he felt effort should be put into helping UCO to be a better organization rather than trying to construct a similar who is also orivigarn. iz Jacklin, , iin member of the Canadian Feed Crain Board, discussed the current protein situation which has seen the price of Soybeans rise dramatically, Insurance For Complete Home, Farm, Commercial and Auto Coverage CONTACT Bev Morgan Insurance Agency Ltd. 238 Main St. Phone 235-2544 Exeter Across From Beaver Lumber TRUCK AND TRAILER 71 FORD -350 1-ton truck with 7x12 box with racks, 390 engine, 4-speed transmission, radio, 50,000 miles, Licence C26387.
