Clayton Frey stated that the half -way mark in the winter's share capital drive had been reached by Fekruary 29th. To '-zte about 600 share purchases are needed to reach the objec- tive of 2, 000 by April 30th. However, Mr. Frey pointed out that more share capital is need• ed before construction can be- gin and any excess of objectives will reduce the amount of out- side capital and make the mem bers'ownership and control just that much more secure. Colin Corrigan, Debenture sales supervisor pointed out that investment of $100.00 in shares by producers would not provide enough capital to build plants with sufficient capacity to process the volume of live- stock produced. Seven hun- dred per member is required to totally own the siz e of plants needed. The building of FAME pro- cessing plants is only a means to this end.

Changes are taking place rapidly but the period of time will be short. Whatever position farmers find them - selves at the end of this chang- ing period will be their position for many years. J. Carl Hemingway, chair- man of publicity committee, stated that every good organiz- ation is founded on a sound idea, a practical program, strong leadership, and enthus- iastic members. FAME has these components and it is the objective of this committee to retain these qualities through the distribution of factual in- formation throughout the organ• ization. It was agreed that county member meetings should be held to give latest information and to complete the program for the winter. Two Projects for 4-H Swine Clubs The hog producers will ag- ain sponsor 4-H swine club work in Huron in 1964. Each township director in the county will be in charge of three new 4-H swine members for the club year. Basically, the project will be similar to last year. Each member will receive a pair of gilts about May 1. The gilts will again be financed by the Huron County Hog Producers Association. One of each pair will be sold at a bred gilt sale , the other gilt to remain at the club member's home farm. 1963 4-H swine club members will not be eligible for this project. Girls and boys of 4-H age that are interested in this first year project should contact their township hog producer director for application forms. Members of the 1963 Huron Apple Growers Will Hold Vote On Promotion During the week of April 6th, Ontario apple growers will vote on an apple advertis- ing and promotion program. The program will provide for a levy of 3¢ per bushel of fresh apples, 4¢ per cwt. on processing apples, and 2¢ per cwt. on juice apples. The money will be used to stimul- ate, increase, and improve the marketing of apples grown in Ontario by advertising, pro- motion, publicity, marketing research, new product develop- ment, and by providing inform- ation services to producers and others. The program is being setup under Section 12 of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act. This Section of the Act pro' - vides that where an Association of producers of a farm product wishes to improve the market- ing of that product by adver- tising, promotion, and similar means, the government, on the advice of the Farm Products Marketing Board, may estab- lish such a program requiring all producers to pay fees to the Association. The government, of course, will not establish a program until it is satisfied that a majority of producers want such a program. The Apple Section of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association has made a request to the Farm Products Marketing Board for the Apple program. The board has pre- pared a set of regulation in consultation with the directors of the Apple Section and the board has now asked that the association conduct a vote of apple growers to determine if a majority are in favour.

It is the one, proven, complete herbicide for season long control of weeds and grasses in corn. Discover what your neighbours already know—that profitable corn production calls for Atrazine. NET WEICNr 3 L For pre em a weed of in n orna Forlquackgrass and control in corn Far more corn is being grown in Ontario than ever before. One reason is because Atrazine* has made corn the easiest crop of all to grow. Now dairymen and beef producers can take full advantage of corn's higher nutritive value without additional labour. Cash crop farmers enjoy bigger yields and greater profits! This year Atrazine comes in a new, more concentrated formula which offers added con- venience to the grower. Atrazine 65W stays in suspension in the spray tank more readily and is easier to apply. STANDARD PRACTICE WITH LEADING ONTARIO GROWERS Walter Bolger, Bolger Farms, Ariss, Ontario. Overall spray on 215 acres of silage corn. "We're in the beef cattle business to make money and we have to judge any product by whether it helps us to make a profit,' says Mr. Bolger. "On this basis we are definitely sold on Atrazine." N.B. All granular formulations of Atrazine for weed Atrazine kills annual broad leaf weeds and grasses and continues to keep them under control late into the season when cultivations are no longer possible. It eliminates root pruning and Toss of soil moisture caused by cultivation. Atrazine promotes more vigorous stands of corn and bigger, cleaner harvests. SPRAY AT THE CORRECT TIME FOR BEST RESULTS Atrazine 65W should be sprayed at the time of planting or as soon as possible afterwards. Do not spray after weeds are 1Js" high (grasses 1") or poor control may result. Early spraying, especially in dry areas, ensures that full advantage will be taken of any rain to carry the chemical to the root zone.
