MONTEITH EXETER LTD. 235-2121 "The best in service when you need it most!" How to approach a loan these s. For a loan, as with anything else, it pays to shop around. Rates do vary from place to place. At the Commerce, though our rates are already competitive, we can even go one better. If you have a Commerce Key Account you get preferred rates on most consumer loans. The fact remains, however, a loan costs money. And you have to repay it. That's why we'd like to sit down and talk about it with you. It's part of making sure you don't get in over your head just because you need the money. If you need the loan for a car, we want to make sure your repayment plan still leaves you money to run it. Talk to one of our over 1600 Commerce managers about the facts behind a Commerce Bankplan loan. The more you know about the in's and out's of money, the better you can make use of the money you have. And that's certainly worth talking about.

This of course keeps prices down. If the crops are not good however their gamble may be a costly one. The Russians apparently won't take that gamble and their trade missions are in the U.S. right now for negotiations with grain dealers. If they make big deals the price will increase too, and the reluctant gamblers will have lost. Nvay home, the two teams that covered the European and Asian countries, regrouped in the United Kingdom and spent some time there to reinforce contacts in that important market. While there, the Ontario delegates and I3ritish bean buyers were hosted at a reception organized by the Ontario Food Council, As chairman of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board, Mr. Durand is quick to defend the trade missions against any suggestion that the directors are enjoying a lot of expense paid globetrotting in the name of marketing. "We believe in this personal contact, It was very necessary," he said, "On the international scene, they have to know a name A dollar is 100 cents, same size, name nails It's unorthodox, but it works. It is marketing on an international level, yet many of the"salesmen" are farmers who go on the road on a part-time basis: It almost sounds crazy, until you see the production and sales charts. If these don't impress you, Phil Durand and Charlie Broadwell ,will be glad to hear your suggestions. The commodity in question is a food product, the common white bean. Mr. Durand of Zurich is chairman of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board. Mr, Broadwell is the Board's full time marketing manager. Almost all of Canada's white bean production is centred in the six counties around London, where the Marketing Board has its head office. In 10 years, white bean acreage has gone from 75,000 to 145,000 acres, production has jumped from 1,117,500 hundredweight to about 2 million cwt. Exports have more than tripled from 400,000 cwt in 1964 to 11 2 million cwt, largely through effective salesmanship on the part of the Board and its'directors. Although Mr. Broadwell is the professional marketing specialist on the white bean team, much of the promoting and market ex- ploration and development is done by Mr. Durand and other directorsof the Board - the farm operators themselves. As a result, several of the Board dirdetereha -Vebed6trie'Seasciiied globetrotters in recent years. Originally, almost all of the export beans were sold in the United Kingdom. Although Britain remains a major market, Ontario white beans have been turning up in almost every corner of the world since the Marketing Board began a series of trade missions a few years ago. Regular trade missions to the United Kingdom were gradually expanded to include the Western European nations; when these missions produced good results, the bean promoters ventured farther afield. Last year, for example, Mr. Broadwell and Marketing Board directors Bill Baxter of Perth County and Bob Allan of Huron County were sent on a sales promotion mission to New Zealand,Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. This spring, in perhaps the most ambitious mission ever and by private bean dealers. One of the secrets of success of this mission has been the close co- operation involving the Board, processors and dealers to provide a balanced approach. For this year's mission, the delegates split into three sales teams, one covering Spain, Germany, France, Holland, and Belgium. the second touring Cuba, Mexico, Venuzuela and Trinidad; and the third venturing to Austria, Sweden, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Poland, Rumania .and Russia. This was the first time any of the directors had conducted a mission inside the Iron Curtain and they are optimistic that sales in Russia will result from con- tacts established there. On their One wonders what it takes to convince some well educated people that there are only one hundred cents in a dollar. They say: "It's only a cent " and they go on spending one cent after another. Only when they are down to the last two-bits they begin to wonder where the dollar went. Ontario's Environment Ministry does our spending that • When confronted with pibtests over sewage lagoons,which are at least one hundred acres each, they stated that a hundred acres is insignificant compared with what agricultural land in left. There is a difference with the people who are spending that dollar. When agricultural land is down to "two-bits" it will be a different minister to count the pennies. Some people are concerned about the introduction of the metric system. Den't be afraid. When you need a Nur inch nail, you'll still ask the store for a four inch nail, It will be 10 cen- timeters long but for you it is still a four inch nail. You need some two.by fours? They'll still be the same size and the same name. Remember they aren't two by four now either. Instead of a gallon you get four litres. The litre is close enough to the quart that in the majority of cases you say litre and mean quart. A yard is close to the metre, Length measurements will be one of the easiest to adjust to because of it's similarity to the dollar system. 2,25 metre is much like $2.25. The opposition comes mainly from people who are afraid of change, afraid of something new and that are often older people. I haven't heard opposition from younger people because younger people are more ready to accept something new. Grain stocks here and in the buying countries are low. Yet the Keeping up with changes is one, of the challenges • facing the poultry industry in Ontario.Some of these ideas, including new supplies and equipment, highlight the 18th Exhibition at London's Western Fairgrounds, June 10, 11 and 12. 1975. The three-day conference will be of particular interest to turkey, chicken and egg producers. D. G. Luckman, head of the Livestock and Poultry Division at the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, says that there will be plenty of time for viewing the exhibits as well as taking part in the planned educational program. "Nearly 100 members of the poultry industry have displays at this year's conference, covering a wide range of new equipment and supplies," he states. "All of these are helpful in keeping. up with the changes in the industry and perhaps will help solved producers' problems," Turkey Day takes place June 10. Mr. J. McGrath of T. M. Spratt Ltd. (Hamilton) will be featured as the keynote speaker on the topic of money management in turkey production, ana "Foods, Fads, Facts", a short film on food consumption will -be shown. On June 11, Chicken Day focusses on three points of view: the producer, the processor and the consumer and the program includes a film entitled "Rather be a Chicken". Dr. R, L. Wegley of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will discuss or a face. They don't just go by letter. "These missions, are carefully planned," Mr,Durand added. "We always work closely with the governments - both federal and provincial - in setting up the trade missions and displays at in- ternational trade fairs, and might add that we have received extremely good co-operation from both levels of government. Although they operate in various ways, one of the chief roles of the various agricultural marketing boards in Ontario is to promote agricultural develop- ment and assure farm operators of markets for their produce. In the case of the bean industry, this is being accomplished through the development of foreign markets to supplement domestic consumption and the result has been a dramatic strengthening of the industry in recent years. ' Finally the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board chairman added, anyone skep- tical of the value of the missions needs only to look at the sales charts. With exports more than tripled within a 10 year period, Ontario's world travelling bean farmers must be doing something right. bruising in broilers.'The interests. of both producers and consumers will be featured In an address by Als W, Holine Dixon, Food Prices Health display at.
