(continued from page 1) 80, 000 actually turned out to cast ballots.. A light turnout was in evidence early in the afternoon at the GFO campaign headquarters in Toronu which was receiving continuous calls from workers at polling stations in all of the province's 55 counties and districts. Their afternoon estimates showed an affirmative vote would be re- corded ranging from 45 to 60 percent, However, when the first offic- ial returns began pouring in to election central after the polls closed at 8 p.m., a trend was established immediately it -that GFO would go down to defeat. Along with the Kent, the • counties of Middlesex, Huron, Lambton, Elgin, Essex and Perth rejected the GFO proposal. Backers of GFO were almost positive they would take Huron County, where they expected a great amount of support from members of the Ontario Federat- ion of Agriculture, which active- ly supported GFO. GFO campaign chairman, Malcolm Davidson of Brucefield, expressed obvious disappointment Mr. Davidson said he felt one of the main reasons for the de- feat was that farmers were not prepared to pay for a new organ- ization. The main question on the ballot asked farmers whether they wanted a GFO financed by a compulsory check -off, but a supplementary question asked if membership should be auto- -��eA=OUNOOfl TOPICS by RED FISHER MERCURY NSIIINO CONSUI TAN1 PANFISH ARE POPULAR Some fisherman say pan - fish are popular because they'- re so plentiful, but there must be more to it than that. Maybe it's because they're so eager to please. Y o u seldom hear an ang- ler complain a- bout poor fish- ing when he is out for crappie or bluegill, says Red Fisher from Mercury outboards. Panfish a r e everybody's fish. If you stiCk a light cane pole, and a bobber and worm rig in the hands of a four-year old you can keep him busy all afternoon pulling little green perch up on the creek bank. You can also keep yourself busy digging worms to keep up with the demand. Bobber fishing is for adults too. Consider the old man doz- ing on the river bank with a pole in his hand occasionally being disturbed from his rev erie by a bobber that suddenly disappears beneath the water. There's nothing wrong with scientific fishing for panfish either. At the time of year when the crappie are on the beds in shallow water millions of anglers with light spinning rigs are casting brightly color- ed jigs over them. Think this isn't fun? Then hook a big bull crappie with an ultra -light spinning outfit, and you'll ra- pidly change your mind. Perhaps the most popular panfish is the bluegill because he hangs around the shoreline in shallow water and is always eager to charge to the surface and gulp down an insect that has fallen into the water. And if these insects happen to be little popping bugs with tiny hooks imbedded in their cork bodies, he doesn't s e e rn to mind. The panfish story wouldn't be complete unless it was men- tioned how they got this name. You guessed it. A panfish in the pan is just as interesting as he is on the end of a light line. matic with the check-otf or based on an additional fee. Mr. Davidson said results of the ballot indicated the majority of those voting wanted the auto- matic membership whether or not they voted for or against was the main question. "I do not think that this is a valid reason --farmers must be willing to pay for an organizatior he said. Mr. Davidson said it is now obvious there is a large number oI people who -do not believe in organization and there are still others who feel Walter Miller's solution to farm problems are the answer. As for the future of Ontario agriculture, Mr. Davidson sugg- ested farmers would be faced with the "same old story" mean- ing the federation of agriculture Obituary WILLIAlvi ARCHIBALD HOGGARTFI Public funeral service for the late William Archibald (Archie) Hoggarth of R.

Mr. Davidson expressed deep disappointment at the turnout, suggesting that less than half of the farmers voting "is not good enough for a vote as important as this one". He doubted if farmers would get the chance for another vote in the near future on farm unity. In Hay Township, 97 farmers voted in favour of GFO, while 83 voted against the proposal.
