The show horses were great-

enjoyed was the chilly wind.

The Huron County Junior
Farmers held a meeting in the
agricultural board rooms, Clin-
ton, on March 29. President
Murray Hoover was in charge.
The business arising from the
minutes of the previous meet-
ing included several matters.
Don McKercher pointed out
that more members on the roll
of each club would mean more
delegates to attend the Guelph
Conference and the scholarship
trips. The idea of adopting an
orphan child was left to the cen-
tennial committee for discus-
sion at the next meeting. The

out additional provincial sub-
sidies. (Mr. Greene said the
support Ievel is "subject to the
provinces withdrawing from the
direct subsidization of manu-
facturing milk and cream other
than in exceptional local cir-
cumstances.")
Mr. Munro referred to a re-
lease issued by the CFA after
the Ottawa meeting that said
the dairy policy "is inequitable
in many respects", The re-
lease specifically lists the fol-
lowing complaints about the
policy:
--The producers.are not
guaranteed 84.75 as has been
implied. He is not likely to
get as much as 84.65.
—The producers shipping
both fluid and manufacturing
milk will no longer get a fed-
eral subsidy for their industrial
milk, Many of them will actu-
ally be worse off than they have
been in the dairy year just end-
ing.
—The policy continues to
discriminate against cream
shippers, who are still not elig-
ible for support on their skim
milk.
—Long-term dairy planning
continues to be impossible be-
cause of inadequate procedures
for consultation between the
government and the milk pro-
ducer. 251bs. SHUR-GAIN

Murray Hoover pointed out
that any club taking a bus trip
outside the county should con-
tact the county executive be-
fore going.
Four members from the coun-
ty, Bill Campbell, Donald Mc-
Kercher, Gordon Pryce and Bob
Fotheringham won the Junior
Farmers curling bonspiel held in
Guelph. They won over the 28
other rinks competing.
It was decided to hold the
annual county field day at the
usual time, which is the third
week in June. Donald McKer-
cher asked members to take old
books to the next meeting to be
shipped to the North West Terri-
tories for the use of the Indian
and Eskimo people. He also
said that the provincial organi-
zation is looking for a donation
from any county club to the
Fund to India.
Bob Fotheringham plans to
hold a gathering some evening
in the near future to paint more
posts for the centennial farm
signs which are to be erected in
April. Next meeting will be
held May 31.

The president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture says
further action on the price of in-
dustrial milk ''has been postpon-
ed until we can meet with Mr.
Greene", Charles Munro of
Embro says the meeting with
Agriculture Minister J. J. Greene
has been arranged with the min-
ister's office for April '7.
He emphasized that the Fed-
eration is not giving up on 35
industrial milk. "This is not the
last round if we don't get what
we want," he said.
Mr. Munro declined to say
what further action is planned if
the federal government does not
come through with an increase
in the milk price.
Mr. Munro made his com-
ments following an emergency
meeting in Ottawa of represent-
atives from the member organi-
zations of the Canadian Federa-
tion of Agriculture. Called at
the request of the OFA, the
meeting brought together repre-
sentatives of farming and dairy-
ing from across Canada.
Mr. Munro says the OFA de-
legation gave strong leadership
in planning to protest what he
calls "this totally inadequate
government program"
Tom Robson of Leamington,
the OFA's first vice-president,
who also attended the Ottawa
meeting, says the Federation
has an obligation to continue
the fight for $5.00 milk. "Our
farmer members have voted
overwhelmingly for $5.00 milk';
he said, "and we're going to do
our utmost to see they get it".
Mr. Munro says one thing the
Federation won't be doing istry,
ing to get the extra money from
Queen's Park, "We have always
said the price of milk, ',anion,
latly industrial milk, is a fed-
eral matter," he said. "Last
year's provincial subsidy was
strictly an interim thing".
He also pointed out that Mr.
Green's announcement in the
