Stan Paquette, of the Ontario ministry of agriculture and food office at Clinton noted the Ontario Beef Improvement Association recently began a study of the feasibility of a beef marketing board. . But. he added the Huron producers were free to express their feelings on the issue. Bill Pullen, RR 2. Blyth said a marketing board was overdue. It's about . time we started working together and not trying to make 'money at the other guy's expense." he said. The beef- producers over- whelmingly • approved the shortening of the time period for assistance under the stabilization plan. Wingham-area farmer George Underwood said current federal importation restrictions on beef from the United States need to be, modified: - - Speaking as chairman, of a farmer study group, he said that 10 percent of -the total annual United States beef production "nearly equals our total production in Canada. "Kith that situation,;' he said. "it doesn't take many- of their cattle to drop our prices." Federal regulations which pertntt imports from' the US to remain at 100 percent of the level of total imports from that country averaged over the past five years are inadequate, he said. He suggested a -ratio be established under which one beef cow could be imported from the United States for every 10 ex- ported from Canada to its more populous neighbor. The view formula, he said would Maintain a more equitable balance based on populations of 23 million and 220 million.

Board, George R. Mc -Laughlin, stated that for several years the Board has set (he price to its producers on an economic formula. • "Recently available in- formation on production costs," he said, "indicates that milk ,producers require -an immediate increase in .price to offset cost increases and bring milk producers' incomes closer to parit3' with those of- industrial - workers. The base value of the formula has been revised to br-itig it more in line with current cost and income conditions and more nearly reflects the amount of returns required to- provide adequate incomes milk producers." Mr. McLaughlin also said that the new price levels . should guarantee consumers adequate milk supplies for the months ahead. "'fhe current values of the economic formula," Mr. McLaughlin said, "indicate that the price of milk should be in the order of three cents per quart higher than now exists." The increase in the -producer price is about 1011 percent. The -total increase to the consumer will be three cents per quart, plus whateveramount the dairies and stores add on to cover their requirements. There is no government regulation in Ontario controlling the level of consumer price and therefore the total amount of the increase, in ad - Clinic planned for corn growers Farmers in Huron and Perth counties are invited o attend a corn planter clinic t the Strat- ford Fairgrounds on Thursday April 10 at 8 p.m. The clinic is sponsored by the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association and will include planting depth, plant population, corn rootworm, fertilizer placement and points of wear on planter.
