Ask farmers
to get involved
Members of the l'Iuron County
Federation of Agriculture were
told Wednesday night at their
annual meeting in Clinton "it is
increasingly important that we
have more involvement by
farmers."
In making the statement,
Ontario Federation president
Gordon }lilt of Varna pointed out
that it is important that "we have
co-operatives and commodity
group farmers must become
involved themselves,"
Hill went on to say, "The egg
situation is an example of where
integrators are getting control of
egg grading stations. It is
possible that farmers might have
to look for legislation that may
bar ,some of the feed companies
from 'being involved in
production.
"It is time we took a look and
decided just who is a producer.
Unless farmers do develop a
strong effective organization,
they will continue to be the low
man on the totem pole," he said.
During the annual election of
officers, Mason Bailey, RR 3,
Myth was named president of the
Iluron Federation.
Bailey succeeds Jack Stafford
of Wroxeter who held the position
for two years.
Vice-presidents will be Mervyn
Smith, Walton, and Doug For-
tune, Wingham. Directors at
large will he Vince Austin,
Dungannon, Adrian Vos, Blyth,
and Mr. Stafford.
Guest speaker Dr. W. Stanley
Young, a director of the two-year
diploma course at the Ontario
Agricultural College, University
of Guelph, suggested farmers
capitalize on the requests of the
consumer.
"The health fad thing is moving
around Ontario this year," he
said.
He suggested that if the con-
sumer wants health foods con-
taining soybeans, farmers could
provide them. Soybeans are
selling $36 a bushel in Guelph
because of the fad, he said.

Good service is just a little more than carrying
out a job. It's the little extra care going into
the service that really counts . . . the second
look at an order . . . a re-check on a load, an
extra phone call to make sure something is
O.K. . . . things like that.
It doesn't mean we won't make mistakes. We
probably will. It does mean we feel badly
when a mistake is made and it also means
that care is taken that it won't happen again.
That's the kind of care we pledge to give you

Farmers find best success
in field of truck licences
"The farmers of Canada have
an amazing ability to produce, in
fact to overproduce," Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
President Gordon Hill told 400
delegates to the Federation
annual convention in Hamilton,
111 onday."I picture our
agriculture as a high-powered
automobile, running at half
speed. It's tempting to step on the
gas just a touch, but when we do
that, the vehicle accelerates too
quickly, throwing us out of
control,"
"It was our efforts to regulate
this ability to over-produce that
resulted in one of the most
divisive issues that every hit
Canadian farmers," Hill said,
"National marketing legislation
became a barrier separating the
farmers of this land into hostile
factions. Political opportunists
used the legislation to misinform
and mislead farmers, to fan
farmers' discontent and to em-
harass the federal government.
Perhaps mercifully the
government slid the bill under the
carpet, allowing farmers to patch
up their differences."
But hill told the federation
delegates that the problem of
over-capacity was still present.
"The farmers of Canada still
need some kind of co-ordinating
structure for provincial
marketing boards."
Speaking of the low incomes of
Canadian farmers, Hill said,
"Our young people are leaving
the farms in droves. They see the
kind of incomes that farmers
earn and they want no part of it.
They want to enjoy the good
things of life that other people
their age enjoy and that means
they have to seek new careers.
An industry that can't keep its
young people is an unhealthy
industry."
Hill talked of the federation's
successes during his past year of
presidency. "Our best success
was in the field of truck licenses.
For years the Federation has
urged the Ontario government to
introduce a special rate license
for farmers. This year we got it."
Acclaim Hill
Gordon Hill of Varna was
named president of the 'Ontario
Federation of Agriculture for the
third consecutive year. The 45-
year-old Varna area farmer was
not opposed for the position,
In accepting the position at the
annual meeting in Hamilton,
Monday, Hill called on con-
vention delegates to get out and
sell more individual memberships
in the federation. He said the
federation is capable of fulfilling
its objectives only by hard work
and through getting a larger
group involved.
He set a federation goal of
11,000 individual members by
April 1, which would be an in-
crease of about 3,000 over the
current membership.
A proposal to license all far-
mers based on experience,
training and management ability
was approved.
Moving the resolution, Philip
Durand, of Zurich said no one
should be allowed into farming
other than agricultural
producers.
Ile said lawyers and doctors
should not he allowed to purchase
farms "for tax evasion" pur-
poses.
As the OFA see it, legislation
would be sought that would see
all agricultural land in Ontario
owned and controlled by licensed
farmers.
But Hill questioned the timing
of the announcement. "Perhaps
the election had something to do
with it," he said. "Maybe I'm just
a dreamer, but I'd like to see the
clay when governments react to
the problems of agriculture when
farmers need help, not when
governments need help."
Looking at the future, Hill
discussed the possibility of an
assistance program for cow-calf
operators in Ontario. "Beef
producers in other provinces
have the benefit of governmental
encouragement to increase
production," Hill said. "Why not
these advantages for Ontario
cow-calf producers?"
Plan meet
on silage
The Ontario Silage conference
will be held at Toronto on
December 15 and 16. Top
speakers from Canada and the
United States will be on the
programmes, as well as Ontario

made a success of silo systems.
Jim McCague from Alliston,
Wally Gallagher from Laurel and
Murray Selves from Fullarton
are a few of the Ontario farmers
who will report on silage systems
for dairy, beef and swine.
Readers of Hoard's Dairymen
will have an opportunity to meet
with Louis Longo and Professor
Hoglund, as they are both on the
program. The guest speaker at
the banquet on December 15 will
be George Jones. It should be
worth the trip just to hear him as
an ex-civil servant,
