'WILL SPEND $357,000 ON DAIRY ADVERTISING• Dairy Farmers of Canada will spend $367,000 in the advertising and promotion of dairy foods in 1955, according, to officials of the national producers' organization. The 1955 budget will be a. .slight increase over that of 1954 and will include six month-long pro- motions using a Wide selection of media. The monthly promotions will be: February, concentrated products; March, butter; April;` fluid milk; June, "June is Dairy Month" (dairy foods related to summer meals); October, cheese; November, butter. Support will be given ice Cream Association promotions in January, May and September. At a recent meeting, directors of Dairy Farmers of Canada, repre- senting every dairy province, took note of the improving consump- tion trends for dairy foods in 1953 and were 'advised that the trends appeared to be continuing in the cur, ent.-.gear,_, . .. _.-._.... The thought was expressed by some directors that the June Ad- vertising Setaside should be in- creased to provide more money for advertising and promotion. The Alberta directors recalled that the Alberta Dairymen's Association was already on record favoring doubling the national budget as soon as other provinces were ready to participate. Consideration Was given to star` tistics of the dairy industry which indicated that under normal con- ditions' during the next 12 months there would be an increase in milk production about equal to the in- crease in population. With' milk production increasing in normally importing countries a further con- traction of the Canadian export market for dairy foods might be expected.

Annual Meet V. 5..Milburn, secretary -manager of the Ontario Federation of 'Agri- culture told farmers in Huron County, at the county Federation of Agriculture meeting in Londes- boro' last week that the fact that one man with; many followers is attempting to destroy the program of '. the marketing of hogs in On- tario is the greatest dis-service, to the Federation of Agriculture, He was referring to the stand taken by Reeve Theodore Parker of Ellice Township, Perth County whose formal protest against al -leged_ inonopolyy of hog marketing by United Livestock Sales, was presented by him in a brief to Premier Frost of Ontario last week. • --- Speaking on the federation of agriculture, he said that although it began almost 15 years ago with an ambitious start, the pinnacle of success is yet to be reached. "The people of the federation have built up the respect of the Govern- or-General and the cabinet," he re- marked. The federation program is -a constructive one - and he sharply criticized negative think- ers who, "can offer only a dragging or depressing effect." ' - Strong Support He referred indirectly to the Farmers' Union as a negative group, saying, "It's the things they are against, not for." He said that the federation -as a constructive group, has strong support -and he here compared the $50 grant from Huron county ,back in federation's early days compared with 1954 affiliation fees of $2,886. "This continued upward support from 'you indicates strength," he said. He quoted figures to show a de- crease in membership and financial support to the Farmers' Union. Urging a greater spirit of loyal- ty, among farmers in the whole farm movement, Milburn said AND OF COURSE A COMPLETE LINE OF HARDWARE, COAL AND SUNHEAT FUEL OILS.

The average farmer has a great-, er investment than the average jeweller, grocer,. garageman or average business man. I believe it takes more brains ---a man has -to have a Wider knowledge to suc- cessfully acquire and maintain a farm: than an average business- man," he said. Over 225 farmers -an almost 100 per cent representation of the 16 township federations in the county -attended the meeting. With ,the appointment from the chair of a resolutions committee, Charles Coultes, Belgrave, as chair- inan, presented two resolutions, which upon receiving approval at the meeting, will be forwarded to the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture. The first read -"Whereas theFarmers' Union is establishing a foothold in Ontario and is trying to expand throughout Ontario, therefore, the Federation of Agri- culture in Huron County wishes to resolve that all farmers consider very carefully all, aspects of the Farmers' Union policy before com- mitting'themselves, and also in the ' same respect resolve to -have your suppo for our Federation - which ` ne feel is the only organiz- ation necessary to run our busi- ness." The second resolution requests the provincial government for a referendum regarding the con•tinu- . �t alioU of Daylight Saving Time. ! EASTERN STAR HAS .
