Mason Bailey, O.F.A. director and former president of the Huron Federation, asked what steps would be needed by the O.F.A. to win government approval of the.O.F.A. as the official bargaining agent for Ontario farmers on the farm income protection plan. -- Mr. Bennett said he was out of his depth on the question. He said it was hard to say what would convince the 'government to negotiate with the O.F.A. when there were 22 commodity boards and several other farm organizations in the province. He said he knew some excellent farmers who don't belong to any farm organization at all. "My concern" he said, "is that the proper farm voice is repre- sented."

Such a plant would bring an influx of industry that would seriously inhibit farming in the county he said. Huron's urban citizens want more industry, he said, but this must be industry that is compatible with agriculture. The newly elected president of the. Federation, Adrian Vos of Bjyth who is also chairman of the Huron County Power Plant Committee representing farm groups in Ontario, .pointed out that ozone pollution from car exhausts, factories etc. can seriously affect many farm crops, particularly white beans. One'Percent A loss of just one percent in aricultural production in. the county, he said, would mean a loss of $1.2 million to the county. -Spread that among only 3,000 farmers, he said and it could have serious financial results. Mr. Vos urged everyone to attend the inquiry into Hydro's long-term plans when it meets in Winiham later this month. A resolution , was passed at the meeting recommending that. Ontario Hydro not be allowed to build power facilities on good food producing land when there were other sites available that wouldn't affect food production. Another resolution passed at the meeting called for the abolition of the present Environ- mental Hearing Board set up used by the province for such things as sewage project hearings. The resolution said that these boards don't listen to the public and should be replaced with a board chosen from •Meal' people arid chaired by the locall MPP. Supporting the resolution Alan Walper, the new first vice-presi- dent of the Federation argued that "We're the ones who have to live with the decision and we're the ones who have to pay for the project; so we should make the decision." Another resolution was passed • calling for better instructions on. seed corn bags as to what plates should be used in the corn planter. Bill Purdon of East Wawanosh, supporting the resolution said that his research had ' showed ' that the seed companies -used testing boxes that were designed to be compatible with John Deere and International planters and those with other makes were in trouble, Another resolution, calling for the government to provide free poison for the control of rodents and thereby save' loss of grain, was defeated. arents primary, bishop says
