tural problems in growing turn-
'Ps,

A Glandeboye grower, Frank
Vanneste, gave a most inform-
ative talk on turnip production,
storing and marketing.
A panel made up of four of
the larger dealers dealt with
many of the problems facing
the industry and H. G. Culver,
Toronto, showed on a map of
the U.S.A. how the export markets
are being gradually squeezed by
other turnip producing areas,
such as Wisconsin.
G. Long, London, chairman
of the Ontario Apple Producers'
Marketing Board told the meet-
ing that promotion is very nec-
essary if turnip growers wish to
expand their markets.
He stated that their problems
are even greater than those of
the apple industry as the turnip
market is largely an export one
and that promotion in the U.S.A.
Don McKercher explained that
the more members on the roll of
each club meant more delegates
to attend the Guelph conference
and more to be eligible for schol-
arship trips.
It was learned that Bob Foth-
eringham is planning a gathering
in the near future to paint some
more posts for the centennial
farm signs which are to be erect-
ed in April.
