Both weather and crop are considered the most satisfac- tory for many years. As a result, quality is excellent, with consid- erably less scan than usual and almost complete absence of late blight disease, according to On- tario Department of Agriculture sources, Plenty of sunshine dur- ing the last few weeks of the sea- son not only resulted in favour- able conditions for maturing and harvesting but also result in less after -cooking blackening of pota- toes. The 1960 potato crop will bring Ontario farmers in excess of 30 million dollars, Demands have been good and prices generally are regarded as above average. Dry matter and processing quality are the highest on record, many tests showing more than 20 per- cent. Cream Producers Horace Delbridge, RR 1, Wood- ham, was elected last Tuesday night as chairman of the Huron County Cream Producers' Assoc- iation at the annual meeting held in the agricultural office board rooms, Clinton. Mr. Delbridge succeeds Simon Hallahan, Bel - grave, who served in that position for the past four years. Ray Houston, RR 2, BBrussels, was elected vice-chairman. Sec- retary is Carl Hemingway, Brus- sels, secretary-fieldman for the Huron County Federation of Ag- riculture. The county committee includes Douglas Fraser, RR 2, Brussels; Lorne Hastings, RR 1, Dungannon; Simon Hallahan; Ja- mes Williamson, Walton; and Ken Baker, RR 2, Dashwood. The secretary of the Ontario Cream Producers' Association, Bob Morrison, Toronto, was guest speaker. He said that since the number of cream producers is steadily decreasing, 64 cents a pound butter fat is not an incen- tive price. Research on the actual cost of the production of butter and the cost of the manufacture of butter is definetly under way, he said. en's 4 -Buckle Overshoes $5.50 Men's 5 -Buckle Overshoes $7.95 Misses and Children's Shearling Cuffs $3.95 up Womens Over The Foot Shearling Lined $6.95 to S10.50 Complete Line of Winter Footwear Including Men'ss Thero-Pacs OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT - TAKE A PEEK mmamma �. 11.1 - OESCH SHOE STORE PHONE 130 - ZURICH OWNERS MORT THEY .AVE $ OUT $ 1{ OF N FUEL TS (some save even more) Iron Fireman CUSTOM Mark II firing revolution- izes oil heating.

He said labor costs on one stand- ard automobile or a small truck are about $350 and estimated la- bor costs of farm machinery would be about the same proportion. In 1945, Mr. Schroeder said wages amounted to 33.9 per cent of the cost of manufactured farm mach- inery. In 1957 labor's share had dropped to 22.9 per cent. `Wages have gone up but pro- duction per worker has gone up a great deal more." He told of an assembly line at GMC that had been reduced from 225 to 14, the result of automation. Asked from the floor why auto and farm equ- ipment prices had gone up during the same period he answered: "Most car and tractor prices are not set by wages. One firm aims to get 20 percent on capital invest- ment. During the past ten years it has averaged 25 percent. They get their investment returned ev- ery four years," Greetings from the Inter- Pro- vincial Farm Union Council were brought by its chairman A. P. Cleave, also president of the Sask- atchewan Farmer's Union. To bring the economy back into gear the Farm Union leader suggested expanded markets, both at home and abroad. `We have the land, resources, and technical know-how; what we need is the people to make use of our abun- dances and let others share it, both at home and abroad." Alvin Hamilton, federal min- ister of Agriculture, delivered his first public address since his ap- pointment, to the delegates on Tuesday, He told the audience that since he feels emotionally in- volved with the field of agricul- ture, he promises to do all in his power to solve the many problems facing the farmers today. Mr. Hamilton said that it is his belief that the farmers will have to go through a period of transition in- to other forms of producing com- modities from the land. As an ex- ample he cited the forecast that by 1965 pulp and paper require- ments in Canada will be increas- ed by 60 percent. He suggested that many farmers can increase their future income by planting trees and moving into this field of production. Mrs. Mary McIntosh, women's president of the Manitoba Farm- ers Union, and former school teacher delivered a dynamic ad- dress to the convention on Wed- nesday. She said she believed the in- creasing number of farm organ- izations were not in the best in- terests of agriculture, but the re- sult of a desire for power. SShe advocated one strong organization wth representatives from all com- modities. `Too many little groups tend to weaken us and are costly to farmers," she said. The election of officers resul- 960 ted as follows: president, Mel Tebbutt, Markdale; first vice- president, Edwin Morden, Shel- burne; second vice-president, John Dolmer, Dundalk; women's presi- dent, Mrs, Merle Hopkins, Fene- lon Falls; women's vice-president, Mrs. Alma Parker, Roseneath; jun- ior president, Kenneth Marisset, Prince Edward Co. Of the resolutions discussed a tenpoint resolution concerning hog marketing came in for a lot of discussion and comment before being adapted. It asked for a marketing board of II members, each representing one of II zones, and elected at a meeting of hog producers in his own zone. The resolution asked also that the Ontario Hog Producers Market. ing Board have no connection, di- rect or indirect, with any proces- sing plant, cooperative or not. 0 Awarded Damages Mrs. M. E. Hayter, of Stanley Township, was Wednesday award- ed $6,437 damages arising from the death of her husband, Wilhelm, in a car accident near Clinton in 1959. Mr. Hayter's car was involved in a collision with one driven by Paul C. Armstead, of Goderich.
