Speech at the opening of the current session of the Ontario Legislature. The gov- ernment is presenting a num- ber of measures "to strengthen the family farm and the rural economy and to improve the position of the family farm en- terprise." Anything that will achieve those purposes will be welcomed by a vast majority of farm people. It had been expected that Agriculture Minister Stewart would introduce a provincial ARDA program which he did last Friday morning. This Agri- cultural Rehabilitation and De- velopment Act has the same general aims as the federal act —to foster our natural resourc- es of land and ensure the de- velopment of comtnunity pas- tures and we understand that specific projects are already in the study stage in northern and eastern Ontario. There are al- so plans for projects on alter- nate land use in co-operation with local agricultural groups or community groups, but noth- ing has reached the point at which it becomes a specific pro- ject to be presented to the fed- eral ARDA director. The pro- vincial act merely provides- the necessary legislation to enable the newly -appointed provincial director, Herb Crown, to start the . wheels turning. The Ontario government will also introduce a bill to ensure the inspection of all meat and poultry produced and sold in the province. Such inspection comes under the jurisdiction of the federal government primar- ily, but there are also municipal ordinances in similar areas and the new legislation is designed to co-ordinate all efforts for the greatest protection of the GENERAL INSURANCE Donald G.

Another interesting announce ment concerns the establish- ment of a Food Council on which representatives of pro-, ducers, processors and consum- ers will meet to discuss one an- other's problems and to recom- mend possible government poli- cies to assure the well-being of the agricultural and food indus- try. This is a pretty large or- der, but if this council is suf- ficiently representative and if its members can carry the other fellow's message back to their own groups, it could clear up a lot of misunderstanding. One cannot be too optimistic about the possibility of such a group ever reaching complete agree- ment on anything, but at least the council should provide a forum in which each can air its views. Let us hope it will not be used—as so many countries use the United Nations—as a sounding board for individual propaganda. However, the most significant announcement as far as the family farm is concerned is that of the reinstatement of the Jun- ior Farmer Establishment Loans Act, especially, since it is plan- ned to extend its Scope and ef- fectiveness: This [act has not been introduced but we have it on good authority that it will allow assistance to young farm- ers who cannot qualify for loans under the federal Farm Cre- dit Corporation because they haven't the necessary capital or equity in property. This could help young people get started in farming either as partners in the family farm with fathers and/or brothers, or on their own. There will be more super- vision of loans than under the previous act in order to give borrowers the benefit of legal andbusiness advice when re- quired. In other words, legal and business management per- sonnel will be part of the Meld staff to help farm people set up partnership arrangements, to incorporate the farm busi- ness unit or whatever they de- cide will be the best way- to make the farm operation more efficient and businesslike. This reaffirms Agriculture Minister Stewart's oft -stated belief in the family farm as an efficient unit that can compete success- fully with the corporate farm.

MERCHANTS' COMMITTEE Seaforth Chamber of Commerce • Mbt. AND MKS. ALBA MCGKtt OK (lett) meet wan Huron L' of A rresldent Elmer Ire- land, and second vice-president Charles Thomas, following last year's annual meeting of the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Mr. McGregor is first vice-president and Mrs. McGregor is lady director for Huron. All were re-elected at the annual meeting in Londesboro last week. Huron F of A Urges Action on Support Prices The Huron County Federation of Agriculture, at its annual meeting in Londesboro Wednes- day, decided to request the On- tario Minister of Agriculture to encourage the federal govern- ment to continue the price sup- ports in the milk industry until a national plan is developed and -voted upon. "Ontario is not largely responsible for the milk surpluses in Canada," were the words used in the resolution as it was drafted by the federa- tibn resolutions committee in regards to the collapse of the Ontario Milk Marketing Plan: The meeting also unanimous- ly agreed to request the fed- eral government to establish a regulating testing station and to appoint an inspector for Hur- on County for .the grain trade. "Whereas there is a very large grain, bean and corn trade car- ried out in the town of Hen- sall, and whereas there is some dissatisfaction regarding testing and grading as there is a con- siderable distance to the near- est testing station," was the wording of the resolution. The federal government will also be asked to return the subsidy on Grade A hogs to the $3 level from the present $2 mark, in an effort to en- courage the production of qual- ity carcasses. The provincial government will be asked to abolish the present regulation requiring a permit by farmers fpr the movement of farm machinery exceeding eight feet on the highways. The meeting termed -this an inconvenience to the farmer and insignificant to .ev- eryone. Returned to office for the sec- C ond consecutive year were El- mer Ireland, Wingham, presi- dent; Alex McGregor, Kippen, first vice-president, and Charles Thomas, Brussels, second vice- president. Members of the Resolution Committee included Lloyd Stew- art, RR 1, Clinton; Walter Woods, Wingham; Ted Dunn, Bayfield, and Stan Hopper, RR 5, Brussels. USBORNE AND HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.

Pictures ap- Returning to the county in which he served as agricultural representative 'from 1948 to 1951, was R. Gordon Bennett, assistant deputy minister of agricultural for Ontario. Mr. Bennett, as guest speaker, by means of colored slides, told of his trip last summer to South- ern Rhodesia with a group from the Ontario Flue -Cured Tobac- co Growers' Marketing Board. "Agriculture, no matter where it is being carried on in the world, produces the same basic problems," he said, adding that all of those 'associated with) the industry, must have a good basic understanding of those problems: "We here in Ontario enjoy the largest majority of fresh water supply in the world --it is one of the most useful commodities a country can have," said Mr. Bennett. There is little or no irrigation in Afri- ca — they have no rain from. April 1' 'to November 1, with the result that farmers must store feed in the rainy season to carry them over, On the farm in which Mr. Bennett and his party stayed, the farmer owned 8,000 acres, of which 400 were in tobacco. There were between 600 and 700 beef,cat- tle on this particular farm, said the speaker, who was of the opinion that farmers in that country could have "quite an effect on world markets." To- bacco grading done in the area of South Rhodesia has been considered by other countries as "good." This is due to the large number 'of natives hired. Over 96 per cent of their to- bacco goes to export, or 250 mil- lion pounds, while the Canadian export is 190 million pounds. He was introduced by Warren Zurbrigg, Clifford, immediate past president • of the county federation. In his president's address, Mr. Ireland said: "We have the best farmland here in Huron County; we have the best farm legislation to be found in North America, and we can . have a good marketing plan for all our farm products if we just join hands and say so." Reports were presented by ,- Robert McGregor. Hensali, pres- ident of the Bt;ef Producers for Huron, and a zone representa- tive for Huron, Perth and Mid. dlesex Counties on the Ontario Board; Carl Hemingway, Brus- sels, a. menther of the provin- cial board of .FAME, who said that the province will have sev- en more FAME plants within three to four years; Albert Ba- con, Belgrave, president of the Huron County Hog Producers; Lloyd Lovell, RR 2, • Kippen, Huron County representative on the Ontario Sugar Beet Grow- ers' Marketing Board; Horace Delbridge, RR 1, Woodham, president of the Huron County Cream Producers; Lorne Rodg- es, RR 1, Goderich, president of the Count Whole Milk Produc- ers. Mr. Rodges said: "They allow- ed margarine into the country; they closed up the cheese fac- toiries on us—I feel that the present butter surplus is their baby!" Mr. Lovell .said: , "In 1959 there were over 2,000 acres of sugar beets grown in Huron County, and at our station at Kippen the area grew over 1,- 200 acres. This year we have in , our area just over 200 ac- res." Carl Hemingway: "If we run into a depression, a big major- ity of our farms would be gov- ernment-owned. We are living on borrowed • time as farmers. The broiler industry is gone. In 1956 the egg production in Ontario was 80,000 eggs; in 1960 it dropped to less than 20 per cent of that number. We were talking about an egg marketing plan; we are prac- tically too late." Emmerson Crocker, Mosley, a zone director on the Ontario Hog Producers' Association, praised the regent action of the Ontario Hog Producers Market- ing Board when it lowered the service charge on the price of hogs from 50 cents to 42 cents. "Hog producers clearly under- stood last spring when the ser- vice charge was raised from 40 to 50 cents . . . you can't run a business without money," he said. He urged the farmers to stick together against any threat to,their marketing of products. Without compulsory marketing, you have nothing," he added. in the -unavoidable absence of Mrs. Florence Elliott, Clinton; secretary, Mr. Ireland gave a brief report on the federation's finances. The year ended with an operating surplus of $934, but because of an overdraft at the conclusion of 1961 of $1600 the federation is experiencing an overdraft of $668.
