Robert Hern of Woodi
Was one of the 49 delegates
attending the 1st national 4-H
Volunteer Leaders Con-
ference at the Ramada Inn,
Toronto, recently. The
conference began on Wed-
nesday, November 7, and
will run through Saturday,
November 10. It is through a
grant from the Canadian 4-H
Foundation, that this con-
ference has been made
possible.
Five leaders from each
province along with con-
ference staff and guests, met
to discuss the roles and
functions of leadership.
Speakers who operated
workshops during the con-
ference included: Mrs.
Phyllis Michaeljohn, a
Toronto consultant, Mrs.
William Needles from the
Etobicoke Board of
Education, John Flynn from
the Ministry of Culture and
Recreation, Denis Shackel
from the University of
Toronto and Ms. Jane Moon
from the Canadian Red
Cross Society.
During the delegates' stay
in Toronto, social activities
and a trip to the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair
were planned.
Nova Scotia's 4-H
Supervisor and conference
director Jack Redden,
comments, "We hope that
through this conference we
can have leaders in Canada
be a part of the National
scene and learn about other
avenues of future
development."
Beginning December 31,
Canadian hogs will be
marketed and graded in
metric weights and
measures.
Hog prices will be quoted
in dollars per 100 kilograms
(dressed weight basis).
Carcasses will be weighed in
kilograms and fat
measurements will be taken
in millimetres.

Plan night
with media
The Huron County
Federation of Agriculture is
sponsoring a meeting at the
Blyth Public School to
consider how the media
influences the public's
perception of agriculture.
The meeting will be
December 6 at 8:30P .m.
Serving on the panel will
be Ross Daily, farm editor of
CFPL TV and host of "This
Business of Farming";
Henry Hess, editor of the
Wingham Advance-Times;
and Bob Trotter, journalism
lecturer at Conestoga
College and author of a
weekly newspaper column
entitled "One Foot in the
Furrow".
A question period will
follow the panel discussion.
worked out by the Canadian
Pork Council, the Meat
Packers Council of Canada,
and Agriculture Canada's
livestock and poultry
division.
The new table is based on
fat measurement taken at
the back and loin rather than
the shoulder and loin as has
been the practice for the past
decade. The change will
result in a lower total back-
fat measurement for the
same carcass.
This change, together with
the change to metric
measurements, means the
new table is not directly
comparable to the table that
has been used to date.
Individual hogs may grade
differently in the new system
than they have in the past.
However, the total amount
paid out for all hogs
marketed under the new
system should be very
similar tototal payouts
under the current system.
The new table will be
monitored closely and if the
results are substantially
different than the present
system, changes, will be
considered.
Pork producers and
packers co-operated with
Agriculture Canada last
year in a major carcass
research project. The
project yielded information
for the move to metric and
The selling price for white
beans has been lowered by $2
per 100 pounds to reflect a
slowdown in buying by
canners, marketing analyst
Wayne Sershall of the On-
tario Bean Producers'
Marketing Board said Tues-
day.
He said the board dropped
its export price this week to
$25 per 100-pound bag and its
domestic price to $26
because of a price drop last
week in Michigan, Ontario's
major competitor.
"It's a real mixed bag
right now," he said. "A lot of
Michigan elevators said they
were buying more beans
than they were selling."
Michigan and Ontario are
the world's major white
bean producing areas and
their major markets are ex-
port.
Although prices have
dropped, Sershall said On-
tario prices are still higher
than at any period for last
year's crop. He expects
prices to remain high
throughout the remainder of
the selling season, which
ends in August, 1980.
"The canners are pretty
well supplied until the new
year, so they'll let the
elevators carry the inven-
tory instead of themselves,"
he said. However, canners
will be back in the market
for beans in January and the
price should strengthen.
Sershall said 40 per cent of
Ontario's crop this year has
been marketed. The board
now estimates the 1979 crop
at 1.3 million 100-pound
bags, up about 100,000 bags
from earlier estimates.
