ELLIOTT, Secretary) From Ontario Soya - Bean Growers Marketing Board: On- tario's 1963 soybean crop prob- ably represents one of the most unusually developed crops ex- perienced in many years. Some fields got off to a good start, developed normally and are be- ing harvested. However, many fields are late and pod develop- ment has been retarded due to lack of rain. What will the fin- al pictures be? It's difficult to access. But, from the latest re- ports, indications are that yield will be down about 18 per cent from normal. Directors of the board estimate Pelee Island's yield down 10 per cent; Essex, 30 per cent; Kent, 16 per cent; Middlesex, 16 per cent, and El- gin, 15 per cent. Lambton may be about normal. Considering all the factors involved, it would seem that total production will be 53/a million bushels. Feed Cattle Up in West Cramps Eastern Feeder — Cat- tle slaughterings last week, at 46,400 head, had started their fall climb. They were running 2-3,000 head above last year, with choice and good grades; (this week, 24,100 head, up 2- 5,000 and lower grades down about 2,000). Prospects are that this sub- stantial increase in feed cattle slaughter will be maintained and expanded this fall and win- ter. Expect a big increase in fed cattle from Western Can- ada. Forage and feed grain supplies are large there (though Alberta, where most cattle are produced, was hit by drought in some areas. Some 18,000 more feeder cattle have moved from Prairie stockyards to west- ern fedlots than last year. On- Of f En er tario has shipped in 20,000 few- er feeders to date than in 1962. Feeder cattle exports to the US from the Prairies are down 33,- 000, or 40 per cent from last year. This holdback of feeder cat- tle in the West has kept feeder prices up within a dollar or two of last year's, while fed cattle prices in Toronto are down $3 from 1962. Prospects are that this spread between feeder and slaughter prices will continue to narrow this fall and winter. This makes it difficult for the specialized fedlot operator in Ontario to buy itis feeders from the West and make a profit. So feeding in eastern Canada may be cut back. Yet farmers in the West, with plenty of feed, more feeder cattle on hand and good wheat incomes to carry their operations, can be expect- ed to expand their feeding. So look for continued pressure on fed cattle prices as slaughter- ings from the West increase. Minor Ball Plans Social Meeting Monday night in the Town Hall, the Seaforth Minor Baseball Association set a tenta- tive date of October 28, at 7 p.m., for the annual social eve- ning for the minor ball players.

Protest Appointment OfHuron Safetylnspector Huron county. council doesn't like the idea of appointipg a construction safety inspector. Although an appointment is mandatory under the Construc- tion Safety Act of last year, no action has been taken here, and council has taken note that it has plenty of company. Of 38 county councils in Southern On- tario, according to a summary read to council by clerk -treas- urer John Berry, 21 have taken no positive action, and these in- clude Perth and Middlesex. Eleven have made appoint- ments. Warden Forbes remarked that Huron is largely agricul- tural; that a county appointee would have about 100 miles north and south to travel, and that possibly towns, villages or even townships could handle inspection more economically. "A local municipality may withdraw and appoint its own inspector," Mr. Berry Pointed out. "In Goderich we have a build- ing inspector, and it is requir- ed that we have a sewer inspec- tor, so we have appointed them," said Reeve Frank Wal- kom. "It should go back to the Workmen's Compensation Act," suggested Reeve Roy Adair, Wingham. "The feeling of the commit- tee (warden's and personnel) is that there is great overlapping," said Reeve Ralph Jewell, Col- borne. "With buildings going up, one in the north and an- other at Grand Bend, there would be a lot of mileage." On recommendation of the THE 1964 A PRODUCT OF AMERICAN MOTORS (CANADA) LIMITED committee, council cctincurred in a resolution from Bruce: "That this council strongly opposes the action of the pro- vincial government in attempt- ing to force the appointment of county construction safety en- gineers as long as the entire cost is placed as a burden on real estate taxation. . We feel that the Province should bear at least 50 per cent of the cost, as real estate owners are al- ready overburdened with tax- es." Huron council did not concur in a Welland county resolution proposing to levy the costs of such inspection upon the con- struction industry, "including federal or provincial govern- ment projects." The warden's and personnel committee reported that it had reviewed the invitation list for the warden's banquet and had made considerable deletions. The potential number of guests now stands at 250, whereas pre- viously it was well over 300. Mr. Berry announced the itin- erary of a bus which will pick up passengers for the 37th an- nual Huron Plowing Match, to be held on Saturday on the farm of William Dennis, lot 16, concession 14, McKillop town- ship, between Walton and Sea - forth. On motion of Reeve Cliff Dunbar, Grey, and Reeve Roy Adair, Wingham, council ac- cepted an invitation to visit Kitchener television studio, the date to be settled by the war- den's committee. WARDEN WALTER FORBES SAYS YEAR GOOD FOR HURON It has been a good year. for Huron, so far, Warden Walter J. Forbes said as he opened the September session of county council. "Tile hay crop is wonderful, corn never much better," hp added. "Grain corn is down considerably on account of frost and a lot of damp weather in September. "We were saddened and shocked by the sudden death of a former warden, William Jewitt, and an expression of the sympathy of council was sent to the family. Bill will be missed around here. He was popular, and his untimely death was a shock to the county." Later in the session, deputy reeve Jim Hayter of Stephen moved a resolution, customary in recent years, asking the mun- icipality represented by the in- cumbent warden, to return him "in order that council may have the benefit of his experience." In this case it was directed to the clerk of Goderich township. "I am afraid I won't be able to accept," laid Warden Forbes, as council adopted the motion. "I do not expect to be here."
