This two-day affair was originally planned to dis- cuss suggested changes in the proposed over-all plan which has been stalled for several months, but in the last week or two both federal and pro- vincial ministers of agriculture have made statements that are giving all milk producers cause for thought. If they aren't thinking, they should be be- caixse this is the handwriting on the wall that many farm leaders — and writers — have been pointing to. Agriculture Minister Hamil- ton has pointed out that half the dairy year has practically gone (October 31st) and he sees no indication that producers in Ontario and Quebee who turn out 70 per cent of Canada's milk have taken any steps to put their houses in order. By that he means introducing a program to bring about a bet- ter balance between production and consumption which really means restricting production since producers can do very lit- tle to increase consumption. Dairy farmers of Canada do have a promotion program, but they are asking for much more money to do the job and it is a long-term proposition. Mr. Hamilton threatened to ♦ • f REDUCE CRACKS ...

We might suggest to the minister one step that could reduce powder produc- tion and payment of subsidy without hurting good produc- ers.;,At present the 25 cent per cwt. subsidy on milli for pro- cessing •is paid on all milk re- gardless of quality. Withdraw- ing the subsidy on inferior quality milk could have only two results: one, reducing the amount of milk going into pro- cessing channels, suer as pow- der and cheese or, two, improv- ing the quality of this milk. Either result would be benefi- cial. The current campaign to improve 'milk quality in On- tario would get a boost and it should also be able to pro- vide information on grades of milk sold for processing. Ontario's minister of agri- culture, Bill Stewart, told the annual convention of the Farm- ers' Union last week, that the milk marketing plan in this province had apparently not progressed very far, that it was a producer plan, and it was up to the producers to come up with some solutions to the problems facing the dairy in- dustry. He didn't say it, but he might have added that produc- ers must act forcefully if they want to avoid drastic govern- ment action. Mr. Stewart did say that he was getting tired of hearing that Ontario is the chief offender in creating dairy surpluses. He suggested that Ontario might be self sufficient —that is, might consume its own dairy production—if left alone but, of course, inter -pro- vincial trade prevents that and is also essential in our national Kinsmen Meet At the Kinsmen dinner meet- ing, with President John Heal presiding, it was voted to spon- • sor a Bantam and Midget hock- ey team again this year, and to hold a hard -time dance • at the Arena, Friday, Nov. 9.

Ontario Beef Producers held a special meeting in Toronto last week to discuss the min- ister's suggestion for an On- tario beef improvement associa- tion and his offer of assistance from the ODA in such -a pro- ject. After considerable beat- ing about the bush, the • meet- ing recommended that county associations consider the pro- posal and' come to the annual meeting of the provincial as- sociation- prepared to act. Gen- erally speaking, most produc- ers seemed to favor the idea of some changes in the consti- tution of •their association to allow it to operate along the lines similar to the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement As- sociation. This would not be a marketing plan which has been discussed, but which' most pro- ducers apparently . do not want. They do want a promotion pro- gram and an information pro- gram of some kind to improve quality and sales of beef. NEED RUBBER STAMPS?

At a meeting in Toronto on Friday, Sept. 21, the Provision- al Milk Marketing Board ac- cepted the recommendation of the Advisory Board to receive and study further subm4ssions from milk producer groups, rel- ative to changes in the milk marketing plan by November 1, 1962.
