The final payment will be $1. 49 per bag. Bean producers operate under an agency -type marketing system in which they receive an initial payment at time of delivery in the fall, an interim paylxent in the spring and the final payment in the fall of the following year. Last fall, the interim payment amounted to $5.76 per bag and the interim payment this spring was $2.25, The bean board handles all beans and makes the final pay- ment when the entire crop is marketed. Mr. Broadwell said the 1970 crop amounted to Just under 1.2 million bags with a record gross return to growers of $11.4 million. The 1970 crop also showed a record in exports with more than 700, 000 bags leaving the country. Mr. Broadwell said 1971 crop estimates call for a yield of about 1,25 million bags on 94, 00C acres. He said the board has already made advance sales of 690, 000 bags, split equally in domestic and export sales. This is the most the board has ever sold in advance of the harvest. He said he expected export sales from the 1971 crop will be larger than 1970's record. Referring to Britain's entry into the European Common Market, Mr. Broadwell said bean exports should not be af- fected for three or four years. He said the four per cent prefer- ential tariff they now enjoy in U.K. markets would likely be phased out gradually. 1 -le said after it is eliminated, then Ontario producers would have to compete in the U . I{ with United States beans on about an equal basis except for fluctu- ations that may occur in money rates. 0 The Canadian Indians first introduced beans to the early French settlers who then took the beans home to France. Beans later crossed over to the British Isles and today are the largest selling processed vegetable in British supermarkets. New owners at Sales Barn A pair of brothers with an enormous amount of agricultural background have acquired a two- thirds interest in the operation of the Fiensall Sales Arena, Jack and Doug Riddell, both residents of the Dashwood area will be combining with Vic Hargreaves of Brucefield in the marketing of livestock from the Hensall barns. In addition, the brothers have recently graduated from the Reisch,Auction College in Mad- ison City, Iowa and will be offer- ing their services as professional auctioneers and sales managers. Acquisition of a portion of the Hensall Sales Arena business by the Riddell's comes about by the retirement from the livestock business by Jack Morrissey, of Crediton. Morrissey is well known in this area for his vast knowledge of all aspects of livestock. In recent years, Jack Riddell has operated a large cattle and sheep farm on Highway 83 in addition to teaching Science and Agriculture at South Huron Dist- rict High School. He graduated from the Univ- ersity of Guelph with a major in Animal Science and served the Extension branch of Ontario Dep- artment of Agriculture in the counties of Essex and Hastings. He later served with the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture and then returned to Ontario operating his father's farm, specializing in purebred Holsteins and Shorthorns. Later he was assistant manager of the Ontario Stock Yards in Toronto before moving to this area. After graduation from Michig- an State University in 1957 with a major in business administrat- ion, Doug Riddell joined Trans- parent Paper Products and worked as general sales manager until 1966 when the company was acquired by Cryovac, specialists in the supply of packaging mat- erials and processing equipment to Canadian meat and poultry processors. The late W. K. Riddell, father of Doug and Jack served Middle- sex County as agricultural rep- resentative for 36 years. 0 Kenneth and Grant Jones of Kippen provided the music at Hensall United Church, Sunday morning, singing a duet with accordian accompaniment.
