occurs in all the townships and has
maintained an acreage which is still four

absentee foreign group.

Tony McQuail. The energy committee sent
out questionnaires to municipalities on
waste and the idea of an alternative to land
fill sites. Of the 16 responses three were
not interested.

Elston warned the federation
and nthei farm groups must
continue to actively lobby,
since consumer groups are
such a high profile lobby.
OFA vice-president Ron

most be at the local level
with private members. He
said it was easier for the OFA
to lobby when they had a

Bill Scott. representing the
Huron County Egg Pro-
ducers, reported that devel-
opinent of an export market
-foe, eggs.. has been. 'a stow ,
process. While CEMA has
made some sales to the
Middle East, it- was at "a
substantial loss."
Also,' he said a recent
survey in Ontario shows that
small to 'medium-sized pro-
ducers are payikg more for
quota than the larger egg
producers. He said in the
palst year, the number of
producers has decreased by
4'8 farmers, or about five per
cent. "not the drastic de-
-- crease that was predicted by
some , a year ago." Last
week. Mr. Scott reported,
quota sales were stopped.
and-in-the future the board
411.1 buy paper qUota and
distribute it equally to those
who apply for• more quota.
, When asked how 'younger
farmers would get into the ..-egg industry. Mr. Scott said
most egg producers operate
family farms; which implies
there are sons. and daughters
to take over: He added since
the government hasn't con-
tributed financially to egg
production perhaps it could
make low interest loans a-
vailable ;to young farmers.
He concluded by pointing out
most egg producers now
aren't operating to full c(apa-
city in their hen houses.

He also advised politicians
that the decision to allow
11-Yeanold 4-H members has
been a success. "We have
found -that these members-
can handle the work that
regular 4-H members can do
and, in some ,cases. do a
