The Grain Corn Grow- ers are leading the way by cen, ducting their vote on a grain corn marketing ,plan. The ba - lots are presently being mailed to the growers and are requir- ed back by February Other producers .of grains, such as wheat ando'white beans, have sound real benefit in having i marketing organization working in their interests and there Is much that can be accomplished for corn growers. • Already the strength of the organization has been sufficient to obtain much better freight rates for the movement of the crop to eastern points. This will enable our growers to -compete with imported corn from U.S. Since the U.S. government - • subsidizes their corn growers and offers preferred freight rates, a strong Ontario organiza- tion might well be .able to have import quotas iut into effect as is already applied to other grains. Producers are well ad - vised to studthis prograntand cast their ballet, accerdinRIP Just today Ije(eived copies of the petition to be efrettlated by the Egg PrOducers, regue5t- ing a marketing plan for eggs. This requires the signature of at least 15 per cent Of the On- tario egg producers before a plan can be *presented to the Farm Products Marketing Board for their approval, after which a vote will be conducted. There have ,been a great many com- plaints' froni producers regard- ing the marketing of their eggs. This is their Opportunity to have something done about it. The resulting plan will be just as good and successful as pro- ducers want it to be. If pro- ducers aren't interested enough to put forth some effort, there will be no improvement in) the egg Producing industry. • Be Warmly Contented With Texaco Stove Oil or TEXACO FURNACE FUEL OIL Call Us To -day 1 WALDEN & BROADFOOT Phone 686 W Seiforth • (fly FAIROMIRN) • .

"Mem- bers come_frein the iltdd, Creara,. cheese and concentrated milk producer groups, the Ontario Milk Producers Co-ordinating Board and the Channel Island Milk Producers' Association. The committee is the outcome of the meeting last week at Queen's Park, called by Hon. W. A. Stewart, Ontario's new mini- ster of Agriculture, who indi- cated that he wanted action by setting January 22 as: the date this committee should meet the Farm. Products- Marketing Board, This means that any over-all Plan, will come under the Farm Products Marketing Act and not the Milk Indust* Act tinder which the various groups have negotiated agree- mentswith distributors and processors in the past. Beef producers are also mov- ing to make some improvement in their industry. At present no marketing plan. is being con- sidered, butAhey are making a real effort to require the use of bills of lading in the, movement of cattle. There have been sev- eral instances of real problems arising in establishing owner- ship of cattle in case of acci- dents in trucking. It is only a reasonable precaution that the owner• should': have a receipt when his cattle are loaded or shipment. There is room for a great deal of study and distribution of in- formation on feeding and breed- ing of cattle to best please' the consumer. The collection of the small fee through •the use of the bill of .lading could be quite-, helpful to' the industry. In closing, I would like to put in a comment. for your careful consideration. In a recent radio broadcast the idea was put forth that farmers should be careful lest through. their or- ganizations they make farming profitable, because large cor- porations would then take over. I would suggest that it is when incomes are • low that farmers -are forced to look for other em- ployment and sell out to porations.

In fact, there is so much confusion about this meat from dead animals that has found its way into channels leading to' human consumption that a lot of innocent people are being blamed for things ov- er which they have no control. Fortunately, there is hope that guilty persons will also suffer, but that isnj going to help the black eye suffered by the meat industry generally—and that in - eludes farmers.

Us- ually, he prefers to dispose bf it—to get someone to haul it away and save him the labor in- volved in burying it, especially in the winter. There are 50 plants in Ontario that wilr take dead stock and there are 31 persons engaged in the busi- ness of collecting it, and all these are licensed under the Dead Animals Disposal Act which was designed to control the spread of disease -that might affect the livestock population of thg, Province! It also. makes doubly sure that the meat from such animals cannot be used for human- consumption. The regulations under the Act provide that, before any licenses could be issued to col- lectors, the vehicles used,' in transporting the dead animals must be specially constructed; that the receiving and collect- ing plans mast be constructed so as to facilitate the task of maintaining them in a clean and sanitary condition; and that re- cords must be kept by the col- lectors and plants, which will show . where the animal was picked up, the date on -which it was collected, the class of dead animal and the weight, and the name and address Of the person to whom the meat is sold or de- livered, together with the date of delivery and the quantity of the meat sold. This last, to pre- vent meat from such animals being sold for human consump- tion. Fanners have assumed — as they have' every right to do— that when dead animals were sold to licensed dealer§ they had discharged their resPonsi- bility. It's just that the wheels of justice' take a long time to grind. Eleven months ago of- ficials responsible for the Dead Animal Disposal Act contacted the provincial, police and point- ed out certain suspicions. They -also contacted the Department of National Health and Welfare and finally the RCMP were brought in. Investigations have apparently produced sufficient evidence to, lay charges. .

Waterloo Cattle Breeders Hold Annual Meeting At the annual Huron County Members' meeting held in Clin- ton on Monday, Jan. 8, James' Bradley, an Amberley district farmer, was nominated to re- present Huron Cdtinty on the board of directors of the Wa- terloo Cattle Breeding Associa- tion. Mr. Bradley has already served one term as Huron Coun- ty director, during 1961. The. major proposal brought before -the meeting was the .re: -vision of the Breeding Associa- tion's Constitution which'would allot Huron County three direc- tors rather than one. The meet- ing recorded approval 'of the constitution as revised. Reports were given by Water loo Cattle Breeding Association. President, Donald Shur; man- ager, Roy G. Snyled; veterina- rian, Dr. John Fischer, and su- pervisor, Wilbur Shantz ad Don Fortune. Others. in attend- ance who addressed the meet- ing were: Harvey 'Ackert, Wa- terloo Cattle Breeding Associa- tion director for Bruce County; Gordon Bell, Holstein -Friesian district fieldman; Russel Brad - win, dairy fieldm,an; and Don Grieve, assistant agricultural re- presentative. Doug Miles, agridultural re- presentative for Huron, was called upon. to introduce guest sPeaker, Dr. D. N.. Huntley, di rector, Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario. Dr. Hunt - le 5; spoke of the effect of re- search on agriculture, using as examples the development of hybrid corn and poultry. He said that progress is spreading because we- are now able to push nature around, and that manipulation of nature is -in- evitable in all phases of agri- culture. He was thanked by Tom Consitt, Waterloo „ Cattle Breeding Association, Clinton office -supervisor. A- program of slides was shown, illustrating various phas- es of the artificial insemination business. The Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association has had a very suc- cessful year in Huron County during 1961. The Clinton branch, serving the bulk of the county had an increase in business of over 100- per tent Many skips instinctively want to guard No. 1 but a draw to No. 3 position really puts pressure on the opposi- tion. lead or second man draw in front of the offending rock.
