The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-02-27, Page 10Page 2 -- Wingharn Advance -Times, Thursday, Feb. 27, 1964 Producers Ask for Egg Marketing Plan Egg producers across Ontario have been requesting some form of an Egg Marketing Plan for several months. In view of this, the Ontario Poultry Producers' Association has requested the Ontario Farm Products Market- ing Board to introduce an egg marketing plan in this province on a trial basis without calling for a vote of producers. The OFA supports the request for an egg marketing plan on a trial basis because this would permit the producers to see a plan in action. When the plan has been given a fair trial, pro- ducers would be in a stronger position to decide whether or MINIMOOP NOW ON DON'T MISS THE Big 26th Annual FARM SHOW ENDS SAT., FEB.

WESTERN FAIR GROUNDS LONDON not they wished to continue the plan in operation. A vote would be mandatory at the end of a two-year trial period, The Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board has announced that a series of eleven public hearings will be held in stra- tegic locations across Ontario to afford those interested in the marketing of eggs an opportun- ity to express their opinions on an egg marketing plan. A. H. K. Musgrave, Presi- dent of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, has commend- ed the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board for taking this action. Stated Mr. Musgrave: " The egg producers of this pro- vince have petitioned the On- tario Government for an egg marketing plan, now it is up to them to turn out to these hear- ings to state their case and sup- port their request. The decis- ion as to whether or not an egg marketing plan with limited powers will be introduced on a trial basis depends on the argu- ments they put forth. It will be up to the egg producers them- selves to convince the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board they favor the introduction of such a plan. The dates and locations for these public hear- ings have been well publicized: The public hearings will be- gin at Walkertonbn February 27th, and be held in various centres up to March 6th. Fol- lowing these meetings there will be an announcement as to whether or not there will be an egg marketing plan in the Pro- vince of Ontario.

In the rules and regulations set up for 4-H clubs three ob- jects are set out for the mem- bers. These are: to stimulate greater interest in the conser- vation and better management of farm woodland, the refores- tation of non-agricultural land and the planning of windbreaks and shelterbelts or snowhedges.; to improve the management of farm woodland, thus increasing the financial returns received by the owners; to understand the forestry principles in respect to improving the farm woodlot by thinnings, improvement cuttings and the planting of forest trees. Age of 4-H Calves The age requirements for the senior beef heifer calves for breeding purposes as well as beef steers and heifers for mar- ket purposes, have been chang- ed to coincide with the age re- quirements of the senior dairy calves: They must be born be- tween July 1st and December 31st of the year previous to the club year. We realize that some calves may already have been purchas- ed for use in club work this year, which are outside of the new age range. In such cases an exception will be made for this year only, and members having such calves will be al- lowed to use them.
