Board takes
surplus eggs
Ontario egg producers after
two years of depressed prices,
are now receiving enough for
their eggs to provide a small
profit, but over-production
threatens to destroy the
machinery set up to improve
prices,
The Ontario.. Egg and Fowl
Producers Marketing Board,
which has been removing nearly
1.5 million eggs a week from the
market under a surplus removal
program, faces serious problems
in attempting to maintain prices
paid to producers. •
A spokesman for the board said
it may not be able to continue to
remove surplus eggs — losses
have been set at $20,000 a week —
and urges producers not to
replace hens going out of
production by more than 80
percent.
A federal program to remove
surplus hens from production
was initiated in early June and
terminated at the end of the
month after the national flock
had been reduced by about one
million hens.
Since that time, however,
replacement of laying birds has
been above requirements. The
board estimates that by Oct. 1
an additional 400,000 birds will
be laying in Ontario, a factor that
promises to negate the helpful
effects of the federal program.
The board takes a one-cent-a-
dozen levy from producers to
support the purchase of surplus
eggs. The eggs are put in storage
and sold for lower prices as
broken eggs which are used in a
variety of products.
Shortly after the government
accepted the bulk of the
recommendations from the Ross
report on the egg industry in the
province in April, the board was

Federal Agriculture Minister
H.A. Olson last week promised
$20 million in government funds
to aid weather-stricken Eastern
Ontario and Quebec farmers but
gave nothing to Western Ontario
farmers whose crops were
ravaged by frost in June.
His wide-ranging program
received the backing of Ontario's
agriculture minister, William A.
Stewart, and Quebec's Norman
Toupin, who flanked Mr. Olson
during the Ottawa an-
nouncement.
Mr. Olson said the program
should ensure "absolutely" that
no farmer in the rain-drenched
areas of the two provinces goes
out of business because of losses
suffered in the last few weeks.
However, little mention was
made of the June 11 frost which
swept across Western Ontario,
destroying thousands of tobacco
and tomato plants, crippling
young stands of corn and
potatoes, and assuring
drastically reduced yields of
many fruit and vegetable crops.
He did say, however, that
programs of assistance to
.vegetable and other farmers are
also being considered and will be
announced as swiftly as possible.
This at first was taken by those
close to the industry to mean that
some aid could still be for-
thcoming for Western Ontario.
Mr. Stewart emphasized this
part of the program is a federal
plan and not provincial., -
He said however, that Western
Ontario farmers who ,Aualify
would still be elig.ible for
guaranteed loans, along 'with all
Ontai-io farmers; under a,
provincial program. Their loans
would have to be:approved by a
committee, which Will be set up
and applidations must be signed
by a ministry of agriculture and
food extension branch official.
A large portion of the tobacco
given authority to set the price of
eggs paid to producers.
The report prepared by Judge
James F. W. Ross of Thunder
Bay, recommended that the
board be given the authority
along. with powers to control
production.
It is lack of production control
that is making problems for the
board at this time. However,
formation of a national egg
marketing agency, expected this
fall, will set production quotas for
all producers. Ontario's share of
the market has already been set
at 38.16 percent,
The board wants producers to
do now what they will be forced to
do onceriffie national agency has
been established — cut back their
hens to match production quotas.
Twenty years from now all the
beautiful women in the world will
be five years older.

crop was replanted with the help
of federal aircraft which brought
in extra plants from the
Maritimes and the southern
United States. However, most of
the other area crops that were
damaged had to come through on
their own and many are still
suffering from continuing ad-
verse weather.
The program, as announced by
Mr. Olson, immediately puts into
operation:
A system of government-
guaranteed loans to farmers.
Special assistance to ease
transport costs to livestock
farmers who have to bring in hay
and hay substitutes to replace
ruined crops. One-third of
transportation costs will be paid
by Ottawa, one-third by the
province, and one-third by the
producer.
An additional grant of $2 per
ton to a maximum of $800 per
farmer for feed grains brought
into the area from outside, Mr.
Olson estimated about 600,000
additional tons of feed grains will
have to be obtained.
Mr. OlsorP made it clear there
would be no direct subsidy to help
pay for the badly-needed hay
itself.
Mr. Olson later estimated that
of the 30,000 farmers in Ontario
and Quebec who have suffered
damage, perhaps only 10 per cent
have crop insurance. He

suggested that 10,000 of the 30,00
farmers live in Ontario with th,
remainder in Quebec.
The federal minister alsi
stressed that the program did no
simply apply to farmers wh,
have already suffered damage
He said if the weather didn'
improve, farmers hurt in th4
coming weeks could also appl;
for aid,
The program brought a mixer
reaction from spokesmen foi
Ontario's two major farm
organizations.
"To the fellows in the east, thit
program will be totally unac
ceptable," said Blake Sanford, o
Kingsville, Ontario region co
ordinator for the National Far
mers Union.
"Those who have been hit by
this disaster need direct cast
assistance immediately or they
won't be around come next
spring. In my opinion it's nol
enough. It's once again a case of
too little, too late."
Mr. Sanford, who lives in the
rich fruit and vegetable growing
area of Essex which lost its entire
peach crop this year, said he was
not very happy about Western
Ontario being left out of the initial
assistance announcement.
However, he later said while
Western Ontario farmers were
hit hard by the June frost,
Eastern Ontario losses were
much more sevpr.
