No Minister of the Crown will sit on the Provincial Council as is the case under the Medical and Dentistry Acts and under the Law Society Act. "The Founding Convention and subsequent annual meetings of the GFO must ratify, modify or reject bylaws made by the Provincial Council. "The legislation provides for the holding of annual and special conventions and for the election of delegates to these meetings. Bill 140 specifies that the Provincial Council must make a full report to annual meetings, including a certified financial statement. The legislation even provides for dissolution of the organization at the request of producers. Examples like these say a lot more about Treflan than we ever could. Take Louis Ducharme, He found himself in a situation where hoeing labor costs were cutting deep into his profits. Now careful incorporation of Treflan to the right depth into his white bean crop has eliminated the need to hand hoe. Farmers participate in GFO organization Marie Trewartha, 1'7, was named Huron County dairy princess Saturday at the 115th annual Clinton spring fair.

Members of the Huron County GFO campaign committee and their township affiliates wasted little time in setting up election procedures after June 24 was officially set as the date farmers of Ontario will go to the polls to decide on the type of governing body they wish. If the vote, which is called an opinion poll is carried by at least 60%, the provincial government will establish One General Farm Organization. At Clinton Tuesday night, more than 40 township committee members met with the County committee and Huron Agricultural Representative Don Pullen to designate polling places and other election procedures for the County. Pullen has been appointed Chief Returning Officer by the Department of Agriculture and Food and will be selecting three deputy returning officers in each poll. He will use a list of previous election officials as a guide in making his choices. Wherever possible, the deputy returning officers and other election officials will be farmers, The vote will be held on June 24 and 39 polls serving 16 townships in Huron will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. An Advance poll will be held at the Agriculture Department Offices in Clinton on Thursday, June 19 from 9 a.m. to 5.15 p.m. In this vote, farmers are not restricted to vote in their own poll but may choose to cast their ballot at any convenient location. Some polling booths are set up in locations to serve more than one township. Usborne farmers may vote at the Usborne Central School or the Township Hall at Elimville. In Stephen, ballots may be marked at the Dashwood Community Centre, Stephen Township Office in Crediton or the Shipka Community Centre. Polls for the convenience of Hay township farmers will be open at Zurich, Hensall and Blake. In Tuckersrnith, the polling booths will be located at Brucefield, the Township shed at Egmondville and Ken Gemmeil's farm, northeast of Kippen. All voters will be required to sign forms saying they are in the farming business. According to Bill 140 which was passed by the Ontario Legislature last week authorizing the vote says, "any person, other than a body corporate, who is the owner, part owner or tenant of a farm in Ontario or who is a shareholder in a body corporate that is the owner, part owner or tenant of a farm in Ontario who is engaged on the farm in the production of agricultural products" is entitled to vote. Added to this is "his or her spouse and any person related to him through blood relationship, marriage or adoption, of the age of twenty-one years or older and actively engaged in the operation of a farm. Farmers do not need to be Canadian citizens in order to cast their ballot. Rallies, sponsored by the Ontario General Farm Organization committee are The June 24 vote on a General Farm Organization offers the best opportunity to date for individual farmers to participate in setting up a farm organization to serve their needs. This was one message Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield, chairman of the GFO Campaign Committee stressed at a meeting in Arthur on June 6. The meeting of county committee chairmen and committeemen in the area was one of a series to officially launch the final drive in the campaign to urge farmers to set up a GFO in Ontario. The kickoff meetings across Ontario will be followed by public rallies with top flight speakers in every county in Old Ontario, The ballot offers farmers an opportunity to vote on representation of marketing boards on the GFO Provincial Council and on the form of membership and financing for the new organization. At a press conference following the meeting Mr. Davidson emphasized that after the vote farmers will have a second opportunity to influence the structure and financing of the new organization. Farmers must elect delegates to the founding convention and members of the Provincial Council, the governing body of the GFO. "Farmers will surely vote for delegates and members of the PC who represent their opinions on the ballot questions," Mr. Davidson said. "Two rumours are circulating in Ontario which are obviously untrue," Mr. Davidson said. Some people are saying that a GFO will be government controlled. A very few people are saying that there will be no provision for periodic elections. "People who spread these rumours have either not read the legislation or are deliberately trying to confuse farmers. "Farmers will elect all the FARM TESTED FUELS When you pump a tank- ful of Gulf Canada fuel into your tractor, you can be sure of this—you're powered by gasoline or diesel fuel made for rugged field work.

GULF OIL AGENTS PHONE 235.2411 EXETER says Louis Ducharme. Or take Ralph King's example. Broadcasting soybeans means big savings in cultivation costs, and often increases in yield per acre — But, like Ralph, you have to know your weed control plan is completely effective. Treflan really carne through for Ralph. It can come through for you. At the same time, a similar meeting will be held in the B elg rave Community Centre with members of Marketing Boards, Ken McKinnon of Port Elgin and Stan Smith, Fingal, as the speakers. Both meetings are slated for 8 p.m. Chairmen of the township committees in this area are as follows: Usborne, Hugh Rundle; Stephen, Victor Hartman; Hay, Ian McAllister; Stanley, Charles Reid; Tuckersmith, Jim McGregor. Elmer Hunter is chairman of the County committee and other members are George Robertson, George Smith, John Stafford and Phil Durand. Mrs. Faye Fear is secretary of the group. In organizing a publicity campaign, chairman Hunter and public relations officer George Robertson stressed the need for canvassers to get out and tell farmers of the upcoming vote. Hunter added, "Apathy is worse than fighting a known enemy, we have to get the information out to our voters." There will be three questions on the ballot facing Ontario farmers on June 24. First and foremost is, "Are you in favour of a general farm organization with compulsory checkoff?" A complete copy of the ballot facing farmers on June 24 will appear in all weekly papers in Huron during the week of June 19. Two more men speak out on the success of Treflan "Now I've no time for hoeing": "Last year I even broadcast my soybeans: says Ralph King. > to_ • Irefla Elanco Products Division of Eli Lilly and Company ., tV ..
