Canadians must be aggres-
sive and imaginative to get their
share of the growing markets for
the kinds of agricultural com-
modities which the country pro-
duces, Murray Gaunt of Wing-
ham, Liberal member of the
Legislature for Huron-Bruce,
told the Perth-Huron Shorthorn
Club at the annual meeting in
Egmondville United Church,
Thursday.
He said that Canada is one of
the world's largest sellers of
agricultural products with nearly
one-third of the total production
moving outside Canadian bounda-
ries. He said that in 1971 the
export revenue amounted to about
$2 billion, an all time record.
During the last 20 years the
output per agricultural worker
has increased over one hundred
per cent,.Mr. Gaunt stated. Ob-
viously the outlet for this pro-
duction over and above our do-
mestic requirements lies in
export markets, he said,
Mr. Gaunt spoke of the
increasing consumer demand for
animal proteins which reflected
rising incomes and improving
standards of living in most parts
of the world. He said there was
a. likelihood of Canada breaking
into the European Economic
Community market eventually but
mentioned a number of diffi-
culties facing Canadian farmers
such as the government support
offered to United Kingdom
farmers and many European far-
mers, in addition to the various
tariffs they have. He also men-
tioned possible marketsfor agri-
cultural products in Japan,
Russia and China.
With the National Committee
on Export Development with a
representative from every pro-
vince and the National '"De-
partment of Industry, Trade and
Commerce now in the process of
preparing for international nego-
tiations, Canada will be able to
put forward a good case in order
to promote its exports --agri-
cultural and otherwise-- to other
countries of the world, Mr.Gaunt
stated.
"We are an exporting country,
we always have been and it
looks as though we always will
be, so our high standard of
living depends on our ability to
export and compete in internat-
ional markets," he said.
Frank Falconer of R.R.5,
Clinton, was re-elected for a
second term as president of the
Perth-Huron Shorthorn Club. He
was also named as director to
the Ontario Shorthorn Club.
Other officers elected are:
vice-presidents, Elvey Brod-
hagen of H.R,1, Brunner, and
Ross Proctor of R.R.5, Brussels,
and secretary-treasurer, Gerald
Smith of R.13.2, Brussels.
The dinner meeting was at-
tended by 78 members and guests.

Doesn't know,
minister says
Huron County farmers are
upset because of the price they
are having to' pay for fuels.
It was noted at the Huron
Federation of Agriculture in
Clinton on Thursday that gasoline
can now be purchased far cheaper
at gas pumps in Huron than in
bulk at the farm.
Mason Bailey, president of the
Federation, said he had asked
Bill Stewart, Ontario Minister of
Agriculture, at the bearpit break-
fast session at the recent Ontario
Federation of Agriculture con-
vention if he was aware of the
situation. Mr. Stewart said he
was not.
"And he said itwith a straight
face", Mr. Bailey said in sur-
prise. I even asked the quest-
ion with a straight face."
