F.
The. Ontario Farm Machinery
Agency will continue to act as a
watchdog to make sure farm ma-
chinery prices don't skyrocket,
Jim Jacklin, president of the or-
ganization stated Thursday night
to directors of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture.
Mr. Jacklin, an Elmwood-
area farmer who is also a mem-
ber of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture executive, reviewed
the past work of the agency at
the meeting. He noted the agency
has had three different roles dur-
ing its lifetime.
The first role was to reduce
prices by directly importing farm
machinery into the country from
abroad. He said he would not
Say that the agency had caused
lower prices, but, he would point
to the fact that until this year
there had been no increase in
price on the domeatic market.
"Overseas prices, went up," he
Said, Hand our price went up bitt
We 'did help prohibit an increase
for four and a half yee.re.P ,
In its second role, he said,
the agency changed to become ,a
lever to help a, farmer in getting
a better price frOm his dealer.
The agency Would' provide a quote
at whiCh the farmer could get a
Similar piece of machinery if
the dealer did not come up with a
good price.
tinder its third role, the ag-
ency has becOMe a watchdog.
It is still importing some mai.
Chinery including lines not

as a fottr4vheel. 'drive- Ford traci.
ter and cage Wheels for added
floatation and power for tractors
and combines. But on the Wilde
the grOtip is there as a threat to
MantifiCtUtera that it may go back
into Importing if prices rise.
"I'm Concerned as preei-
dent," he said, "that we dOnot
beCOnie another United Co-oper
atives of Ontario, another far-
mer-owned organization."
Mr. Jacklin said he felt ef-
fort should be put into helping,
UCO to be a better organizatiOn
' rather than trying to construct a
similar organization.
Mr. Jacklin, who is also a
Member of the Canadian Feed
Grain Board, discussed the cur-
rent protein situation which hat
seen the price of Soybeans rise
dramatically. Part of the' pro-
blem, he said, was due to ad-
Vert() weather last fall which pre•,
vented harvest. Part was due to
the fad that Peruvian fish Meal
which normally makes Up abOut
10 per cent Of world protein needs
IS not on the market due to ,a
failure in the fishing industry in
Peru.
Arid part of the problem, he
Said, was SpeCtilatiOn In. Soy-
beans. He noted that about four
corporations control the soybean
iridUittry in ilorth America and
they closed their' books so no one
knows just hoW much the Soy
bean supply is and if it is Suffi•

is harvested.
"I think our minister of Agri-
culture (Eugene Whelan) hag done
the right thing in putting on the
clamps Until things settle down,”
