Federation of Agriculture • president Gordon Hill told the OFA's annual convention: He was addressing more than 500 farmers from across the, province at the Oshawa meeting. "We must accept that for the t good of all ,the people in Ontario, • . society has the authority to decide the purpose "for which our land can be used." In return, he seeks a fair deal for farmers. Mr. Hill demanded three chief guarantees: Assurance by the provincial ; government that farmers who produce food on land locked into farming can make a profit. Special areas in each county set aside for poultry and livestock production.. "It is not accept- able that livestock and poultry units built in. good faith be closed down because of odour • complaints." NO more big city garbage dumps outside the city limits:"If our urban friends have suffic- ient funds to squander this country's natural resources in such profusion, they had better have enough money for re- cyling. Land-use legislation passed in early summer , gives no such guarantees, he claimed. "These three bills are really planning for development rather than planning to put our land to the-- use for which it is best suited." He also reprimanded farmers for leaving it up to the trade and governments to find and develop export markets. "They have failed, and- farmers may lose market 'opportunities' today because we've sat on our butts." The presideni called on farmers across Canada to unite, and take the initiative in exporting farm products. "If farmers were strongly organized today, I'm sure we could sign up long-term contracts. I'm also sure we could be selling a larger degree of processing in 'our export products." However, farmers are losing these markets by default, added Hill, because they are not strongly organized to take advantage of the' seller's market that.exists across the world today. "Regardless of how efficient we are as prOducers,if we do a poor job' ot marketing, we are throwing money aWay." He told the farmers present that the first Couple married 45 years Mr. and Mrs. William' Boyd of 74 East William Street, Seaforth, celebrated their 45th Wedding Anniversary Saturday when they were honoured by their family and neighbours. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd were married at EirusselsOn November 24, 1928, by the late Rev. A. W. Barker, Mrs. Boyd was the former, Lena Miller of Brussels. Following their honeymoon they settled on the groom's farm at Lot 13, Con. 11, McKillop Township, where they resided for forty years. In September 1968, they retired to Seaforth. The couple has one daughter, Gloria,Mrs.Keith Pethick of Woodstock. Following a family dinner, neighbours of East William Street gathered at their home for an enjoyable •evening of progressive euchre. They were the recipients of gifts, including a Kenwood blanket and a bouquet of carnations from the neighbours and. a. crystal chandelier from the family. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd thanked everyone for their thoughtfulness in remembering them. 4.•11r vior•*VI?'

SEAF ne 1/2-Ton. Pick-up, in real good condition step to cornering export markets is for farmers across. Canada to band together., Then, they would be strong enough to work with governments and the trade as a team.Success,he added, will only ' come with an industry-wide approach, not a continuance of the hit-and-miss efforts of the past. He 'warned that quibbling between provinces over export markets must end. Mr. Hill predicts another round of soaring input costs at the farm gate during coming months. "Farmers can expect to pay. another $154nillion next year when the price freeze on fuels is lifted. Ont ario farmers can count on a 5©-a-gallon increase on heating oil and a 6© -a-gallon • increase on diesel oil and gas." Hydro costs will be up anot her 10% in the new year. Fertilizer prices on some alayses ate already 35% above lait prices. Mr. Hill alerted farmers to the short supply of fertilizer for the coming spring, arid the tight delivery problems they , can expect. He called on the Canadian government to negotiate with the U.S. government to ensure that' Canadianfarmers have enough phosphates to supply their needs. He pointed out that the U.S. depends largely On Canadian potash and natural gas (used to produce nitrogen) to supply its fertilizer market. Canada, in turn, is deficient in phosphate rock which is shipped up from the Southern. U.S, Although Canada should be iri a solid bartering position, Mr. Hill warned that Canada's fertilizer fertilizer plants are diviskOs of international companies, "Out Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan said publicly that he has Had dtkussions with the fertilizer toitipaniesi and haS been assured that adequate supplies wtil be' available The ititegtity of the &tater suppliers is Ott the tHE- lilitAtELS lit)Cti°r Ditlid"EM°11:tairt '01}19. tt.6.4 Wrfsell'ERCAR IMENG . .
