Continued dry weather has
permitted rapid wind-up of grain
and second cut hay harvesting.
Bean harvest should begin next
week on early planted fields. Dry
weather has caused some firing of
corn on lighter soils with yield
reduction expected.

"Petition signatures for the
removal of school taxes from

issue in our organization today,"
said Jack Stafford, President of
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture at the August
directors Meeting held in Clinton.
He was urging the members to

"The recent price advances for
corn on the Chicago Grain.
Exchange should clearly indicate
to farmers. how sensitive the
futures market is to supply
conditions of a commodity on, or
coming on the market," Gerry
Huzevka, Chairman of the
National Farmers Union corn and
soya bean committee, said this
week.
He said that because of the
short market supply situation of
North American corn due to the
Southern Leaf Blight, speculators
on the Chicago Exchange had
responded.
"The higher bidding on corn
Was reflected in other grains.and
even in U.S. futures on pork
bellies and beef, but
unfo rtunately corresponding
price advantages have not been
recorded for Canadian grains.
This" he said, "has been
happening for years, but has
never been so clearly illustrated."
Mr. Huzevka said that farmers,
especially in Ontario, have for too
many years dumped their
product into the hands of trade
And processor speculators at
harvest time, thus losing control
of pricing.
The National Farmers Union is
presently engaged in a collective
bargaining program on behalf of
corn and soya bean growers in
Ontario. Under such a program
farmers are being provided the
opportunity to supply markets,
at a price they have some control
over.
Mr. Huzevka said that when
farmers take full advantage of
these programs, it could have the
same results as short crop
prospects on the Chicago market.
He said the N.F.U. program of
supply and pricing is designed
