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.

"The best in service when you need it most!"
buyers are slow in their pur-
chases and are taking a gamble
that prices will be low and crops
good. 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

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.
