Shown above with an old fashioned stove and utensils are Marie Brunzlow and Marj Tuckey. T-A photo Ontario corn they desire to purchase. According to the spokesman, border point elevators in Michigan have been offering farmers 30 cents under the December Chicago option, therby making it profitable for U.S. producers to pay duty and transportation and sell corn at Ontario border point elevators where the price is 15 cents under the December option. He said U.S. prices dropped during October mainly due to a larger than expected U.S.S.R. grain crop, favorable harvesting conditions, a U.S.D.A. report suggesting world grain prospects in major producing countries had improved and continuing tran- sportation problems. Need appeal for all ages The president of the London conference of the United Church of Canada told representatives at the Huron-Perth Presbytery's second regular meeting in Kirkton Tuesday that the church must appeal to all age groups. "The church must be flexible, to encourage young people," Rev. Frederick Faist of Stratford said. "The church must be open to all age groups," He told the 100 delegates from 48 churches in Huron-Perth presbytery: "We must convince people that the church is not empty — it's alive." The meeting held in the Kirkton United Church, separated into five discussion groups after Mr, Faist's opening address. The world outreach and inter- church relations group, chaired by Rev. Ross Crosby of St. Marys reported 15 new missionaries were sent to Africa, India and Japan last year, Mr. & Mrs. Allan Slater of St. Marys are United Church missionaries who have been in Zambia for several years. Rev, Grant Dawson of Kirkton was chairman of the com- munications group which com- pleted plans to establish an audio- visual centre in the United Church in Mitchell. The equip- ment will be made available to any of the churches in the presbytery. Other groups, all chaired by ministers, discussed the mission in Canada, salaries and professional personnel, The Klondike area of Canada's Yukon Territory has yielded a quarter of a billion dollars in gold since the gold rush of 1898. Ready Mix CONCRETE The second largest commercial corn crop on record is the claim made for the 1973 Ontario corn crop now almost completely harvested. An official of the Ontario Grain Corn Council, in making the statement, added that the yields are not only better than expected but moisture levels at harvest were among the lowest recorded and the quality about the highest. Despite the prices offered, at what is considered some of the highest levels in history, farmers are holding corn either inex- pectation of higher prices or for tax reasons, the spokesman said., '0) tario 'prices eased down- ward in erratic manner during the last half of October but have more than regained any losses during the first part of Novem- ber," he said. "Western feed grains, on a nutrative basis, are priced well above corn. Significant bookings of U.S. corn into eastern Canada have been reported primarily due to cost but also to the absence of advance pricing on western grain." "Those holding for tax reasons might want to review the automatic tax averaging provision in the Income Tax Act." He said many buyers in Eastern Canada have been unable to find the quantities of Gordon Hill of Varna was re- elected to his fifth term as president of the Ontario Federation pf Agriculture at the group's annual meeting in Toronto Tuesday, In four years he has turned a relatively weak farmers group into a strong provincial farm lobby, Hill immediately issued a challenge to beef up the farm organization, He said, "Either we dig in and get our share or be satisfied with what's left over," He continued "farmers must accept that their land is no longer their own." "We must accept that for the good of all the people in Ontario, society has the authority to decide the purpose for which our land can be used." In return, Hill seeks a fair deal for farmers, He demanded three chief guarantees: Assurance by the provincial government that farmers who produce food on land locked into farming can make a profit, Special areas in each county set aside for poultry and livestock production. "It is not acceptable that livestock and poultry units built in good faith be closed down because of odour complaints." No more big city garbage dumps outside the city limits, "If our urban friends have suffipient funds to squander this country's natural resources in such profusion, they had better have enough money for recycling." Land-use legislation passed in early summer gives no such guarantees, claimed Hill. "These three bills are really planning fPr development rather than plan- ning to put our land to the use for which it is best suited." He also reprimanded farmers for leaving it up to the trade and governments to find and develop export markets, "They have failed, and farmers may lose market opportunities today because we've sat on our butts," He called on farmers across Canada to unite, and take the initiative in exporting farm products. "If farmers were strongly organized today, sure we could sign up long-term contracts. I'm also sure we could be selling a larger degree of processing in our export products." However, farmers are losing these markets by default, added Hill, because they are not strongly organized to take ad- vantage of the seller's market that exists across the world today. "Regardless of how efficient we are as producers, if we do a poor job of marketing, we are throwing money away." He told the farmers present that the first step to cornering export markets is for farmers across Canada to band together. Then, they would be strong enough to work with governments and the trade as a team, Success, he added, will only come with an industry-wide approach, not a continuance of the hit-and-miss efforts of the past. He warned that quibbling between provinces over export markets must end, Hill predicts another round of soaring input costs at the farm Canadian farmers have enough Phosphates to supply their needs. Hill pointed out that the1,1.8. depends largely on Canadian potash and natural gas (used to produce nitrogen) to supply its fertilizer market. Canada, in turn, is deficient in phosphate rock which is shopped up from the Southern U .S. Although Canada should be in a solid bartering position, Hill warned that Canada's fertilizer plants are divisions of in- ternational companies. "Our Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan said publicly that he has had discussions with the fertilizer companies, and has been assured that adequate supplies will be available. The integrity of the fertilizer suppliers is on the line, If any of them fail to follow through, their privilege of doing business in Canada should be withdrawn." He said that the hardships created by rising input costs are being intensified by the govern- ment's refusal to halt inflation, while the same government is prepared to hold down food prices to consumers. "This places farmers in an intolerable position," Hill cautioned, that although farm income in the last few months has been higher than in several years, dimmer days are ahead. "It's a fast moving world, and we're living in the day of the lobby. Either farmers dig in and get our share, or learn to be satisfied with what's left over." BANGHART, KELLY, DOIG AND CO..
