Of New Highway Near Auburn. (By J. Carl Hemingway) At the County Federation of Agriculture directors meeting, February 17, the secretary -field - man outlined the new rates of compensation being offered by On- tario Hydro for the construction of lines across farm land. The OFA has been negotiating for sev- eral months and, while still not satisfied. with the compensation the new offer is about three tim- es the old rates. In view of the new line that is to be constructed shortly from Seaforth to Clinton it was agreed that the Federation convene a meeting of the farmers affected and the township federations in order that the land owners might have all available information. In this same matter of land ac- quisition the meeting agreed that the County Federation protest the proposed straightening of the bend at Auburn. This road was only constructed some three years ago and it hardly seems reasonable that it is now obselete. The County Federation agreed to assist the Women's Committee with their essay contest and that the fieldman send out copies, to each township, of the rules of the contest. These are to be distrib- uated to each of the rural schools. Mrs. Vera Greig, vice-chairman of Ontario Farm Forum reported on the annual convention held in Saskatoon. Due largely to the in- terest shown in this area in the farm programs and the TV Farm Forums the CBC will be putting on more regular farm programs in the near future. Also it is ex- pected there will be several priv- ate stations carrying the TV Farm Forum next year. There was considerable discus- sion on the freight subsidy now being paid on Western feed grain coming to Ontario. Many seemed to feel that this was of no benefit to the average farmer but was a special advantage to the large and vertically integrated feeder. It was agreed by the meeting that this question should be taken back to the farmers in the townships to learn the feeling of the producers. The results will then be passed on to the County and to the OFA. The resolutions committee was asked to formulate a resolution that would protect the fel aier in obtaining screenings taken from grain sold to commercial dealers. This will be presented at the next meeting, While it was not the kind of weather to make one think of out- door gatherings the meeting did suggest that the directors should bring in their ideas on an improv- ed worship service for this year. It was also agreed that the fed- eration give a grant of $25 to the Soil and Crop Improvement Assoc- iation for their annual Seed Fair. 6 Hensall Sale Prices (By our Hensall Correspondent) Weanling pigs, $7,20 to $11.10; chunks, $12 to $14.75. feeders, $17. 20 to $24.25; sows, $48.50 to $65.
