He had stabilization plans ready in August iddeII blames Jack Riddell was ready in August for a stabilization program but the Ontario Cattlemen's Association and the Canadian Cattlemen's Association asked him to hold off. Riddell, the Ontario agriculture minister, got annoyed when he was criticized for the delay of stablization. Riddell was the guest speaker in his home riding at the Huron County federation of agriculture. "I want you to know, -that as of the end of August, I was ready for stabilization," said the agriculture minister. However, he said he was asked to hold off so federal agriculture minister John Wise could make a na- AN EXCITING FARM SHOW IS COMING YOUR WAY r r •1.

He said it was the Ontario Cat- tlemen's Association, the Canadian Cattlemen's Association and verbal conversation with the pork producers. "It's not fair to be critical of the minister of agriculture, at least not this minister," said Riddell. He later apologized for getting annoyed. "I'm sorry I got annoyed. But obstacles are put in my way for no reason," he said. Riddell also commented that he wished other members of parliament/ were present so they could go back to Ottawa and tell Wise that farmers have "played around long enough". The comment was in reference to Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff who' was absent from the meeting. Riddell did say that earlier conver- sations with his federal counterpart indicated there could be some pro- gram by the end of•October. "I'm not about to let Wise off the hook," he said. The agriculture minister has been making the rounds of federation meetings and fairs, including an in- cident last Tuesday when some tobac- co farmers had to be taken away by police at the Norfolk County fair. Producers drop cent —n -price of Targe eggs Prices paid to egg producers for Grade A large dropped one cent a dozen Monday, the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA) announc- ed today. Despite the crippling drought this summer in parts of Western Canada, and wet weather conditions now hampering the fall harvest, feed costs are dropping, bringing down egg prices along with them. Grain prices in Canada are largely determined by prices in world markets. Bumper harvests in the United States, the world's largest grain producer, have put downward pressure on feed prices here in Canada, the agency explained. CEMA uses a cost of production for- mula to determine prices paid to egg producers. Any change in the cost of producing a dozen eggs is reflected in Pitch -In FIBERGLAS PINK INSULATION Keep your home cool in the Summer or warm in the Winter with Fiberglas Pink Insulation.
