He's a digger not a scratcher. He'll discover those area problems and he'll meet ;he people concerned face to face to discuss them. And he's not afraid of getting his boots dirty if its going to promote Huron and Middlesex. He's a member of the Tax Review Committee of County Council and a member of the Social Services Committee, He belongs to many Federal and Provincial animal breeding associations. He's served on the Regional Development Council for eight years — latterly as vice-president and he's served on the Huron Planning Board — last year as chairman. Charlie is a farmer and understands farming problems. He's convinced that the sugar beet industry could be revived in Huron and Middlesex. He feels there are better ways of marketing corn in peak periods and he'd like to encourage more Canadian farmers to become involved in livestock breeding. And Charlie will fight for other benefits, too. For instance, he'd like more area development, he believes in Goderich Harbour as a potential Great Lakes port, he feels that Sky Harbor airport should be maintained and would fight for a subsidy, if necessary. Stimulationof local industry is another key issue Charlie believes in. He wants to give incentives to light industry to boost local economy. And he wants to make sure the 'brains' of Huron and Middlesex stay in Huron Riding instead of heading south or to the cities. A better Huron Riding is worth fighting fOr. Charlie Thomas is a fighter. • /oe VATIC M711 Two arm groups not too far apart Ontario winter wheat producers are in the midst of their fall seeding season, They are also in the midst of studies aimed at finding a marketing system which would overcome some of the problems in the present system. While producers try to harvest their fall crops, including soybeans and corn, prior to readying the soil for wheat seeding in the southern part of the province, some wheat \has already been seeded and is showing growth particularly in the eastern part of the province, Some of them have questions on their minds concerning much talked about quotas, a new marketing plan of an agency type and government two-price wheat payments. All three of these matters came under discussion at the producers' annual meeting held in Kingston, October 2nd. About one hundred of them from all parts of the province heard speakers from the federal government and the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board. Board officials reported there had been no headway made in the development of =a new marketing plan, at least to the point of recommendation to producers. Board chairman William Brander, RR 8, Mississauga, said he thought the board should design a plan towards orderly marketing, forward planning and increased marketing management and that market expansion should be a goal rather than market restriction, A seven-man committee of grain corn farmers was named today by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to outline the mechanics of a farmer-controlled corn marketing agency, Chairman of the Corn Com- mittee is Robert Allan, RR 1, Brucefield. Allan is a Huron county corn and bean cash crop farmer, Cash corn farmers Edward Thompson, RR 1, Ariss, in Wellington county; Ray Guy of RR 2, Mountain in Dundas county; William Hardy of RR 1, Inkerman in Dundas county; Kent farmers Leonard Pegg of RR 1, Morpeth and James McGuigan of Cedar Springs; and Board director Russell Rogers, RR 1, Kingsville, chairman of the board's marketing committee, reported that after studying new systems recommended at previous meetings and reviewing past material now on file going hack to 1966, his committee had not arrived at a position to present a new plan to the wheat producers of Ontario. He was regretful of the fact a proposal could not as yet be made to producers and the meeting voiced disappointment also in this regard. However, Mr, Rogers said he was pleased that the board had not pressed forward with a plan ill-conceived and with one which would not be in the best interest of all wheat producers in Ontario. He said more answers are needed to offset the many and important questions surrounding the whole subject and this seemed to be an overriding factor viewed by other officials, Board secretary-manager K. A, Standing, made a point of one question in particular dealing with decumentation of producer records. He advised that due to problems encountered by the marketing board in supplying the federal government a list of names of producers, it may be necessary to define who a producer is and to register all producers in the province not just to fit into the federal two price payment system but also to provide a more accurate long term record of producers' marketings within the province of Ontario. He said the board has proposed dairymnan Delmer Bennett of Forrester's Falls in Renfrew, are Committeemen. McGuigan, a corn and fruit cash crop farmer, is President of the Kent County Federation of Agriculture. He was active in the groundwork that led to the for- ming of the Corn Committee. Bennett sits on the OFA executive and is chairman of the Federation's Grains Committee, When making this an- nouncement, Gordon Hill, Ontario Federation of Agriculture President, said. "I expect the committee will develop a practical marketing plan for Ontario corn, which will win the support of all grain corn producers. "Corn prices have a long history of fluctuating greatly from season to season, often from month to month, Producers need orderly marketing." a regiqtration of all producers and in conjunction a standard grain delivery ticket is also being proposed and should form an integral part of making registered producer records more accurate. Ills remarks also echoed the problem area of who is a wheat producer, Under the present marketing board system anyone can produce and sell wheat whether they be land owners, renters, share crop operators or any other type of operation. In board and marketing committee deliberations, the definition of a producer has never been resolved and most officials agree this is a problem which has to be resolved prior to making any change in the present marketing plan. Further to the basic question of whether or not there should be a change in the present plan, board chairman William Brander polled the meeting and found there were eleven who thought there should be no change. These proposals are only. in formative stages at present and producers will be advised of final plans in due course, In the meantime, the registration idea met with support from the federal government point of view as Mr. Harry Leggett, Director, Grains Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa reported to the meeting, officials are willing to listen to any recommendations from the board concerning the two-price government programs. Mr, Leggett advised the meeting the first payment program has closed as of Sep- tember 30th and said later if any producers have questions about it, they should write directly to the Grains Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, 6101 Sir John Carling Building, Ottawa, K1Y 005. He also advised the payment was not just for one year, that it is an ongoing program but could not elaborate on the next payment because the formula has not yet been decided. This year, the first payment was based on a maximum of 500 bushels and in dollars it meant $1.04 ,2 per bushel. About 11,000 Ontario wheat producers as defined by the government as being eligible received payments in varying amounts up to the maximum depending on the volume of wheat sold. However, on the question of a new system involving some form of quota, only 13 supported the idea while 15 supported the idea of an agency type plan. Many were undecided. There was one definite out- come, There will be no new marketing plan for Ontario winter wheat at this time and there will therefore be no quotas Formation of one organization that farmers can control, finance and change to meet changing conditions is favored by Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Hill told 250 Ontario Agricultural College students that the OFA and National Farmers' Union, the two major farm organizations in Ontario, are "not as far apart as suggested" by some people. He said both the OFA and NFU are farm membership organizations and "all farmers have the same problems." Objective of both organizations — to improve the lot of the far- mer - is the same, only methods of achieving this objective vary, he said, adding that; "I think we're gettingcloserin this area all the time," Mr. Hill noted that both the OFA and NFU recently sup- ported a plea by Eastern Ontario farmers who asked senior governments for assistance in a disastrous crop year. This was the first time both groups had supported one proposal, he said. Name of a single farm organization would be im- material said Mr. Hill, who didn't know when unity would come, only that; "It can't come too soon to suit me." Mr. Hill, a 46-year-old Huron County farmer, served from 1957 Members named for corn marketing agency
