Hensall 262-2527 (c) We will continue to operate as Stewart Seeds and our present personnel will assist in developing the future plans for the Company. Some enlargement of staff will undoubtedly be necessary in the very near future. It would probably however, have taken us a period of years to do what they will do for our Company in total ex- pansion, in a very short time. "It was a real concern of mine, that the Company should con- tinue to enlarge and expand in the Ailsa Craig area, and that all personnel should be part of the Stewart Seeds of the future. The need for Agricultural Research increases rapidly, and Private Plant Breeding programs must be strengthened. A whole new era of seed research, seed development and seed export opportunities can be foreseen for the future, Seed is an international commodity and Canada can play a very im- portant role in the new era of internationalism, in helping to meet the future demands of many countries, In announcing this sale, I am pleased to know that all of us at Stewart Seeds will be asked to assist in developing the _new programs. I am sure that these total new plans encompassing rapid advancement in Research and Sales, will contribute much to the Ailsa Craig area, and in- deed to all of Ontario and Canada in the years ahead, Ciba-Geigy Canada Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ciba-Geigy Limited of Basle, Switzerland. This large world- wide organization has interests in agricultural chemicals, phar- maceuticals, dyestuffs, plastics and general chemicals. Stewart Seeds Limited is an agricultural seed company concentrating on the development of early maturing corn hybrids and Gabian Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Sand & Stone Gravel Stone for Weeping Beas EARL LIPPERT TRUCKING LTD. Crediton 234-6382 specialty cereal seeds, In their second submission, Ciba-Geigy expanded on a proposal previously turned down by the FIRA which was at that time not satisfied that it met the criteria of significant benefit to Canada. Ciba-Geigy also agreed to meet. with officials of the Agency prior to the end of 1979 to discuss the feasibility of Canadian par- ticipation in the stock of the new seed company. Mr.Knuchel president said that Stewart participation in the worldwide Ciba-Geigy organization would result in a significant two-way exchange of technology. Ciba-Geigy's interest in Stewart Seeds came about because of their recognition of the work that Stewart Seeds was doing in early maturing hybrid corn, a corn which would be suitable for growing not only in the cooler parts of Canada but also in northern' Europe. At the same time, Mr.Knuchel revealed that Ciba-Geigy is doing genetic research in other parts of the world and that an exchange of information could be made available to assist the seed The president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said Monday that banks' have a reputation among farmers as being aloof and uninterested in the farming business. Gordon Hill told about 250 delegates to an agricultural credit conference, a number of whom represented banks, that the only time a farmer 'sees his banker is "when the banker is sitting behind a big desk wearing a business suit." He said it is much easier for a farmer to have good relations with business men, such as equipment dealers, who sometimes visit the farm. Mr. Hill told the conference, sponsored •by the Canadian Bankers' Association, that presumably one reason why government provides credit to farmers is "the inadequacy of the lending of private institutions." Interest rates, he said, are higher than necessary. the evidence seems to be ... that default on repayment is low among farmers as a class," he said. "It would seem that banks have been charging for risk that they do not in fact carry." He suggested farmers must look to the continuation and business in Canada and Canadian agriculture. Mr,Knuchel said that it is Ciba- Geigy policy throughout the world to operate their sub- sidiaries in different countries as autonomous units co-ordinated and assisted through expertise from the Swiss parent company and other members of the Ciba- Geigy organization. The com- bined efforts of the two com- panies should provide a base for a significant future contribution to Canadian agriculture. Bean payments to be picked up The Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board has made emergency arrangements during the mail strike for producers of white pea beans and yellow eye beans to pick up their Nov. 1 final payment for 1974 crops. Cheques will be distributed from the board office, 1112 Dearness Drive, London, beginning Monday, Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during}week days until further notice. further development of credit unions. "These and perhaps other types of co-operative agencies seem to do a better job because their first aim is service, while we read of banks that their profits are higher than ever." Mr, Hill said farmers hope to get to the point where they can compete with any businessmen for the favors of the private lenders. "But we are still far from the situation where we can exercise real control over the margin between our costs and our returns. H.D. McRorie of Winnipeg, director of agricultural services for the Royal Bank of Canada, told the conference that govern- ment lending programs to far- mers should be initiated only when the private sector is unable or unwilling to supply the necessary funds. He said the private sector is willing to lend to farmers provided interest rates within the agricultural sector are consistent with credit costs in other sectors of the ecomomy. As well, he said legislation pertaining to collateral security and the subsequent recovery of loans in the event of default should apply to farm loans. Egg marketing plan endorsed A recommendation, by the Farm Products. Marketing Board that the province continue with the present Ontario Egg Producers marketing plan was accepted Monday by William Newman, agriculture and food minister. The marketing board recently conducted a survey of egg producers to determine whether or not they wished 'to remain in the plan. "Since a clear majority of Ontario's egg producers ex- pressed strong support for the present Ontario egg plan, I feel the Farm Products Marketing Board recommendations are both fair and just," Mr. Newman said. "All interested parties who have a stake in the well-being of the industry must now pull together to make the Ontario egg plan a success." The survey results indicated that 89 percent of those who voted, were in favor of continuing with the present plan. A total of 1,001 ballots were cast, representing 83.8 percent of those eligible to express an opinion. Mr. Newman also accepted a second recommendation that a controlled quota-transfer system remain under the control of the Ontario Egg Producer's Marketing Board.

Stewart announced Friday that the Foreign Investment Review Agency has approved the purchase of Stewart Seeds Limited by Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. During this past year Stewart Seeds had been approached by several International companies, all seriously interested in the Private Plant Breeding program, and in purchasing the Company. Mr. Stewart said we chose to sell to Ciba-Geigy for the following reasons. (a) They outlined a world-wide Research and Sales development concept that was in complete accord with our own desires for future expansion. (b) Their proposed moder- nization and new building program, not only for expansion in Research, but also for Seed corn drying, processing and warehouse facilities in the Ailsa Craig area, was in accord with our future plans.
