Norm Alexander of Londes-
boro, president of the Huron
County Soil and Crop Improve-
ment Association announces
that the directors have accept-
ed the invitation of the council
of the Town of Clinton to hold
their Eighteenth Annual Seed
Fair and program in that town.
Arrangements have been com-
pleted by the clerk, John Liver
more to hold the fair in the
Central Huron Secondary'
School on Friday and Saturday,
March 12 and 13, 1965.
March 12, after four will
see the many exhibits arrive
and the evening will be in
charge of the Iluron County
Junior Farmers with the presen-
tation of their club drama and
choir presentations. Saturday,
March 13 will bring to the
farmers the latest developments
in agriculture.
During a performance of the
opera, Faust Herr Kunkel and
his wife had quite a conversa-
tion. Finally the man in the
next seat could stand it no long-
er and begged, "Please be quiet.
We can't hear a word."
Kunkel answered with a dis-
dainful look: "An educated per-
son knows operas by heart and
doesn't have to listen!"

Return from Mexin
Just returned from Mexico,
where they were participants
at the festivities introducing
assey-Ferguson's new line of
farm tractors and industrial and
onstruction equipment, are
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hodgins
f Wingham, Ontario.
On the spacious grounds of
exico's National Agricultural
College, at Chapingo, they
saw a new generation of MF
farm tractors and a tough new
line of tractor -powered imple-
ments as well as new, rugged
industr Tal and construction
equipment.
Massey -Ferguson chose Mex-
ico as the launch site of the
new equipment because it is
believed that the first corn cul-
tivated in the world was grown
in Mexico by primitive sun
worshippers. Included on the
itinerary was a visit to Teoti-
huacan, ancient city of the
gods, where the famed Teatro
Classico de Mexico presented
a dramatic pageant of ancient
Indian culture.
Deputy Minister Points Out
Long Term Policy Essential
Delegates to the annual
meeting of the Ontario Soil and
Crop Improvement Association
were told Thursday that serious
consideration should be given
the current farm situation by
farm organization in co-opera-
tion with all levels of govern-
ment which would ensure an
adequate return to agriculture
and the farmer.
Speaking on the topic "Focus.
on Agriculture", Everett Biggs ,
Deputy Minister of Agriculture,
said that while the farmer and
government must give serious
consideration to the current sit-
uation, the development of
long-term policy was essential
to the continued welfare of the
industry.
"First of all we must make
sure an assured and adequate
income, not only based upon
fair interest for their large cap-
ital investment, but an income
that would be more on a level
with other segments of our eco-
nomy,"
co-
nomy," said Mr. Biggs.
The Deputy Minister said
that it was recognized thatsuch
planning went beyond one pro-
vince, and that action taken by
provincial marketing organiza-
tions and the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture could be
nullified or made ineffective
by Dominion -wide situations
or other considerations.
"I am convinced that we
can get a better public under-
standing of our industry, and I
am convinced that, through
this, we will get better finan-
cial returns for our Ontario
farmers, and help overcome
the entirely unrealistic and un-
fair situation which has devel-
oped , " said the Deputy Mini-
ster, "A situation where the
farmer's costs have progressed
in pace with the generalbuoy-
ant economy, which has re-
sulted in markedly increased
costs which have tended to not
only wipe out all of his profits
in some cases, but which in all
cases has more than trebled

farm businesses is reflected in
the latest announcement from
Farm Credit Corporation.
Figures released by FCC
Chairman George Owen show
that 9, 64? loans amounting to
$145 million were approved in
the first nine months of the
current fiscal year.
This compares with 8,284
loans totalling $102 million in
the same period for 1963, an
increase of over 16 per cent
in the number of loans and a
record increase of 43 per cent
in the amount lent.
Three main reasons are given
for the upsurge in lending:
1. Increased awareness by
farmers of the credit and ser-
vices provided by the Corpora-
tion.
2. Recognition by farmers of
the value of credit in develop-
ing sound farm businesses.
3. Increase in loan ceilings
effective in June 1964. Since
midsummer, over 1, 000 loans
have been made in excess of
previous loan limits.
The fact that the Corpora-
tion may now make loans under
the Farm Machinery Syndicates
Credit Act adds an intermediate-
term type of credit to the al-
ready established long-term
credit service it can bring to
the farmers.
over his increased income."
Mr. Biggs pointed out that
following World War II and up
until about 1952, the farmer
experienced an expanding eco-
nomy.
" Then it changed, and he
has been in a cost -price squeeze
which has been getting tighter
ever since," he told the meet-
ing.
Recalling that Hon. Wm. A.
Stewart, Minister of Agriculture,
had said that there was no place
in our present thinking and eco-
nomy for a philosophy of cheap
food which has been placing
the farmer in an untenable po-
sition, Mr. Biggs said that he
too would like to reiterate the
feeling of the Minister.
"There is no place for a
cheap food philosophy in our
present economy," said the
Deputy Minister, "Too many
people, for too long now, have
embraced a food philosophy
which is not in the best inter-
ests of agriculture or our eco-
nomy. That is one of the
thoughts that we should keep
in mind in our future planning:'
Mr. Biggs suggested that it
would be money well spent to
retain a team of the hest brains
in the country to develop a
long -reran plan which would
give full recognition to the
needs of agriculture,
