If last week's agricultural con- ference in Vineland is to have the importance that most felt it would, two Huron County farm- ers will be playing a big part in seeing it conies true. One of the main accomplish- ments of the conference attended by about 400 agricultural officials was in setting up a committee to bring in recommendations on how to improve and maintain the farm income levels. Cream men pick officers The Huron County Cream Pro- ducers' Association wants gov- ernment grants to help farmers maintain high-standard facilities for the production of cream and m ilk. The request for capital grants from the federal and provincial governments was one of several resolutions approved Wednesday during the association's annual meeting, in Clinton. The executive committee will study the resolution before ac- tion is taken. Members felt capital grants are justified by a government "cheap food policy" and gov- ernment demands for high-stand- ard buildings, premises and equipment for the production of quality cream and milk. They also seek a milk fat subsidy in 196'7 to ensure more equitable returns for the cream producers. The federal govern- ment has already proposed $4.33 per hundredweight for manufac- tured milk starting April 1, 1967. A further resolution asks the federal government to permit only the agricultural stabiliza- tion board to import butter. If butter must be imported, the members want it to be Can- ada No. 1 grade quality and pric- ed to ensure no reduction in re- turns for cream producers. Rae Houston, Brussels, was re-elected chairman of the as- sociation. Roy W illiam s on of Walton was re-elected vice- chairman and Mrs. Edward Fear, RR 5, Brussels, was appointed secretary-treasurer.

Mr. & Mrs. George Wilson attended the fowl supper at Avon- ton recently. Mr. & Mrs. Jim Kelly of Hyde Park were guests with her sist- Reizoirt Harvesting of grain corn is progressing favourably under almost ideal weather conditions. Moisture levels are lower now than at any time last year. Yield is very good with small losses occurring. Good weather has allowed for a good deal of fall plowing to be completed. Feeder cattle are beginning to arrive in the county in sub- stantial numbers. Sugar Beet and turnip harvest- ing is continuing. Of the six members on the committee, two are from Huron, They are Gordon Hill, Varna, a former member of the Farm. Products Marketing Board, and Malcolm Davidson, 13rucefield. Both men reported this week they were looking forward to working on the committee which was chosen by Agriculture Min- ister W. A, Stewart. Basically, the committee will be asked to come up with plausible methods of bringing farm in- comes up to a par with the incomes of other persons. They will study the present subsidy method used on some commodities in Canada, as well as the system of capital grants used in England and other count- ries, income transfer systems, and any others presently being used or that the committee may think up. "The conference really amaz- ed me," stated Hill, who was a delegate on behalf of the Farm- er's Union. He said he had been skeptical at first but came away "very impressed", He said he feared that the con- ference would deal with produc- tion, but actually everyone was talking about income. Davidson said he felt the com- mittee "has enormous potential" Public apathy is responsible for the decline of agriculture courses in Ontario secondary schools, a spokesman for the department of education said Sat- urday. Murray Young of Orangeville, an inspector for the department's program branch, said little inter- est was shown in the need for such courses in secondar y schools until recently. Mr. Young, who addressed a meeting of northwest region ag- ricultural teachers and science department heads at Central Hur- on Secondary School in Clinton, said agriculture courses have always been available to schools in the province but only two per- cent of 395,000 students took the course last year. He said only 20 percent of secondary schools offered the subject last year. School boards failed to take advantage of pro- grams to improve facilities for teaching agriculture although it was one of the province's most important industries, he said. "This is entirely inadequate if we are to meet the challenges that face the broad field of the agriculture industry," he said. The agriculture course, Young pointed out, did not r epl a c e science or mathematics but was offered as an additional subject er, Mr. & Mrs. Tom Cowar,d. Mr. & Mrs. Oliver Baker were guests with Mr. & Mrs. Elton Baker at Stratford Sunday. Mr. & Mrs. Wilbert McNeight and family and Mrs. E.

Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 228-6638 but added that the actual import- ance will depend on the com- mittee, the human and financial resources they are given and their ability to use these re- sources. Both men indicated they were prepared to give considerable time to the work on the committee and it is hoped they will have a report ready for the minister of agriculture within six months or so. While there's no time limit, Davidson noted that there's a certain amount of urgency due to the considerable unrest already being shown among Ontario farm- ers. The Varna farmer said that the general opinion among the 400 delegates at the conference was that the farmer was not sharing in the prosperity of the province to the same extent as other class- es of people. He said there were two ways to overcome the problem. One is to increase the cost of food to the consumer and put a larger portion of the price in the farmer's pock- et, or to continue the present policy of cheap food and transfer additional income to the farmer in other ways. Chairman of the committee is oriented towards sc i enc e and economics. It emphasized scien- tific principles rather than dwell- ing upon the mechanics of farm- ing. The association agreed to meet in Orangeville in November to collect further information and to present this to the education department. Speakers included m eeting chairman A, H. Jewson of Clin- ton; M. J. Troughton, geography lecturer, University of Western Ontario; D. H. Miles of Clinton, Huron County agricultural repre- sentative; and Brian Harrison of Harrow, president of the Ontario Agricultural Science Teachers Association. Everett Biggs, deputy minister of agriculture. Three avenues of immediate study have been decided upon by the committee which met Mon- day: Proposal of the OFA that a system of annual production pay- ments be made to farmers to en- able them to maintain farm in- come; the incentive ineorne policy which would make adequate in- come transfers to operators of efficient family farms; and the provision of capital grants to farmers in order to improve the production unit.
