READ FERTILIZERS LIMITED ATTENTION - Tobacco Growers and Farmers Widespread publicity has resulted from the conviction of this Company of offences under the Fertilizers Act. We wish to set the record straight as to the offences of which Read Fertilizers Limited was convicted. We were charged with three offences, as follows: First Offence: That on or about the 9th day of June, 1964, we sold to Robert DeBock tobacco fertilizer not labelled as prescribed by regulations 14 and 15 of the Fertilizers Act. Robert DeBock is one of our salesmen who purchased the fertilizer in question for his own use only, Second Offence: That on or about the 9th day of June, 1964, we sold to Robert DeBock fertilizer not conforming to standards 'prescribed by regulation 13 (2) of the Fertilizers Regulations. We set out below the guaranteed analysis of our fertilizer as set out in its labels on our bags containing the fertilizer in question and results of the analysis of this fertilizer by the Government analysts— Guaranteed Analysis As Set Forth On Our Labels Total nitrogen Available phosphoric acid Soluablc potash Nitrate nitrogen Ammoniacal nitrogen Chlorine Total magnesia Water soluable magnesia 10 lbs. to the ton 19 lbs. to the ton From the above table you will notice that the fertilizer with respect to which we were convicted contained more plant food than was advertised on our labels rather than less plant food than was advertised on our labels. Third Offence: That on or about the 10th day of June, 1964, we sold tobacco fer- tilizer not registered as prescribed by regulation 4 (1) of the Fertilizers Regulations.

Maurice Love, pro- vincial director, reported on the exchange visit but this was also held over for lack of in- formation. Plans to co-operate with the Ontario Plowman's Association in conjunction with the International Plowing Match to be held at Seaforth in 1966 have already started and will prove to be very interesting. The feasibility of having a project for the Centennial Year 1967 was discussed and a com- mittee set up to look into this. The committee consists of Don. ald Young, Murray Hoover and Mac Stewart. The members unanimously agreed to sell "Slow Moving Vehicle" signs for the Farm Safety Council. This sign (an inverted yield sign) has been nationally adopted and it is hoped that in the future will become a symbol or warning that there is a slow moving ve- hicle ahead as soon as the sign is seen. The signs will be sold by local club members and will cost $2.50 each. The next meeting will be held on May 26, 1965.
