"It would appeer quite evi- dent," Mr. Down said, "that the major processors, all of whom are growing at least part of the raw product on their ownor rented land, are not too interested in lowering pri- ces since this gives them a price advantage over the small processor who is not in the producing field." The small crops-cabbage, carrots, etc., -- will be nego- tiated at a later date, not yet decided. Mr. Down was negotiator on the corn crop this year along with two other members of the vegetable growers' marketing board. These board members and three processor represen- tatives make up the negotiating teams for each crop. Pea prices are based on ten- derometer readings.

BACKS CO-OPS The OFA observed that a well-planned and vehement at- tack on co-operatives was now in evidence and pointed out to the premier and his cabinet that co - operative enterprise had performed a valuable ser- vice to the Canadian economy, introducing a badly needed ele- ment of competition into the business environment; andpro- viding an example of domestic democratic control of business enterprise in a period of fo- reign domination in business. Other matters drawn to the attention of the cabinet included: (a) the increasing burden of local taxation born by farm capital; (b) the growing problems of land use planning; (c) the problems associated with the displacement and The cmtariq Federation of Agriculture took its case to the premier of ()aerie, Hem John gObarte and his .cabinet this week with its annual pre- sentation regarding. farni policy and programs.

The OFA presentation sug- gested that while the efficient, fiill-tirne commercial farm op- erator in Ontario is faring ree- sonably well, there are many thousands of under-financed, marginal or under - developed farms which could not carry on if it were not for the fact that their owners resorted to either part time or full time off-farm employment to keep solvent. "One major task for govern-. ments and for farm organiza- tions", said the OFA, "is to raise to a higher level of pro- ficiency those farmers who are Show outlines chemistry role Increasing importance of chemistry in farming - in the use of weed killers, insecti- cides, fertilization and other 'fields -- will be one of the fea- tures of the John Deere Day program here Friday, Feb. 1.

Phone 235-I273 WI I I lam St . South Exeter North BY DON FAIRBAIRN Dairy Farmers of Canada held their annual meeting in London recently and in many respects it was the one of the three most significant conven- tions in the organization's 21- year history. Their first significant gathe- ring was the one which decided to break away from the pro- ducer-processor national body and form the purely producer group. The second came less than ten years later when dairy far- mers decided to embark on a national advertising and pro- motional program with funds provided by producers them- selves: However, since the first June Set-Aside in 1950 to ga- ther these funds, progress to- ward achieving collection of 100% of the potential has been lacking. In fact, the percentage of the potential has been shrin- king rather than growing-from 59% in 1950 to just over 50% last year. In other words, only half the milk producers of Ca- nada are contributing to this national campaign and the other half ride on their 'coat-tails. So the third most significant meeting was this year's which decided to increase the funds available. There was fairly ge- neral approval of the proposal to change the make-up of the promotional organization and its administration and to ask dairy farmers across the coun- try to contribute 1/4 of one percent of the gross to support it. This percentage of income would increase 1/4 of one per- cent annually until it reaches one percent which is considered the amount required to do an effective nubile relations, ad- vertising, publicity and promo- tion program. If the new deal increases the percentage of the potential col- lected it could mean the Dairy F oo d s Service Bureau would have nearly five million dollars a year rather than less than $400,000 on which it has been operating. Even if only half is collected, as at present, it still means an annual budget of 2 1/2 million dollars. And fi- nally, to bring it down to the proposed 1/4 of one percent for the next year starting in June, 1963, the potential would be about 1 1/4 million dollars. As the Dairy Farmers of Canada says in its final policy statement -- which incidentally was adopted unanimously --the organization accepts the res- ponsibility for an immediate step-up in producer-sponsored advertising and plans for fur- ther expansion in this field. This all sounds bright and lovely but it is one thing for the na- tional organization to accept this responsibility and another thing to achieve the objective through the co-operation of its members bodies and most par- ticularly, the milk producers themselves. While wishing them every success, we cannot help poin- ting to certain other statements in the policy statement Which also sound lovely but scarcely stand scrutiny. For example, "Dairy Farmers Of Canada sup- ports measures designed to deal with other current problems but recognizes the need for a com- prehensive and au tho r ita- tive plan for the future". Any- body could vote for such urbane banalities - which is the reason for them and the reason for the unanimity. Or take this one: "A growing awareness that solutions must be found on a national rather than a regional basis and on a dairy industry rather than a commodity basis is apparent in the response of delegates from across the country". If 'a growing awareness' means that half a dozen instead of three delegates a year ago re- cognize this and act accord- ingly, the statement is correct. However, we saw and heard little to indicate thatthe major- ity at this meeting were wil- ling to forego any of their own interests for the good of the whole industry. The resolution calling for a gradual lowering of the support price on butter- fat did not pass and in the dying moments of this national meeting a resolution from the floor from members of the On- tario Whole Milk League asking for support for its contention that concentrated product s similar to Multimilk be clas- sified as fluid products was approved. This happened de- spite stubborn opposition from Ontario concentrate producers which could scarcely be taken as indicating an awareness of the need to find solutions to problems on an industry basis. In regard,to this latter re- solution, there was consider- able feeling that it should not have been introduced at a na- tional convention since it is purely a provincial concern at the moment. A similar issue is also before the courts at pre- sent. This Friday! JOHN DEERE URON TRACTOR Phone 235-1115 DAY for all the family Exeter Legion Hall 2 p.m. & 8 p.m. By MRS. WELLWOOD GILL.
