The resolution got unanimous support of farmer-delegates from across Canada attending the Canadian Federation of Agriculture's annual meeting in Saskatoon. "Farmers shipping industrial milk and cream need a rock- bottom net increase of at least $2 per hundredweight," claims Brockville dairyman Keith Matthie. Matthie sits on the provincial executive of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "It's no good having to stomp and yell to get a price increase every time around, When farm costs go up, returns to farmers should automatically follow," says OFA executive member .:9111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111I11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111I111111111111111111111111111 DEMONSTRATIONS AT CCAT - At this week's Open House at Centralia College, students were in charge of various demonstrations.

Society not concerned over loss of agricultural land * Parkas * Vests * Winter Coats From . the Butte Montana Standard-Post; "His new position carries an annual pay described as being in the $20,000 racket." Delmer Bennett. A Foresters Falls milk producer, Bennett endorsed the meeting's call for formula pricing on all industrial milk, "Without formula pricing, we'll see a repeat of last summer. We needed a $1-a-hundredweight increase in April. Before we got the increase it was August, and we didn't get the full $1 then. That costs us a lot of producers." Matthie adds, "It was too little, too late. The evidence is the sharp drop in milk production during the last year, The Canadian Federation sent telegrams to the appropriate federal cabinet ministers urging immediate action. The telegrams also stress the need for an an- nually updated five-year plan for the dairy industry. This would involve dairy organizations and the federal government jointly probing the future market for dairy products. The CFA also seeks consolidating subsidy eligibility quota and market sharing quota into one quota. "'The future of industrial milk producers hinges on getting all of these changes, and getting them now," notes Bennett.

Greases and FRAM Filters EXETER DISTRICT Huron pork men hold annual meet The Huron County Pork Producers Association held its annual meeting in the Legion Hall in Clinton Wednesday, In addressing the meeting Keith Weeden of Paisley chairman of the marketing board, wanted more stability in the pork in- dustry. Production cost will likely be higher in the coming year, he said, high grain prices and higher fuel, costs being some of the reasons, He didn't think that subsidies was the answer. Jim McGregor, Kippen, a director of the marketing board, blamed the fluctuating prices on the unexpected high runs of hogs to the market. It seems that hog farmers do not keep statistics up to date with their production plans and as a result the board as well as packers can't plan ahead either. Mr. McGregor suggested that price fluctuations be kept, at a daily maximum of 25 cents similar to the operation of the futures market, He said that this would create a greater stability. The number of producers in the province went down by 7,000 since a year ago, he said, Elected as township representatives were: Ross Eedy, Ashfield, Eric Moore, Colborne; Barry Taylor, Goderich; Jim Williamson, Grey; Elmer Harding, Howick; George Campbell, McKillop; Lloyd Stewart, Hullet; Joe Millar, Hay; Doug Fraser, Morris; Ken Carnochan, Tuckersmith; Maurice Haist, Stephen; Alvin Cudmore, Usborne; Jim Consitt, Stanley; Glen McMichael, Turnberry; Alan Miller, West Wawanosh and Adrian Vos, East Wawanosh. Directors at large, Terry Dalton, Dungannon; George Montcrief, Lucknow; Don Geiger, Zurich; Keith Small, Wroxeter; Francis Hunt, Walton; and J. P. Rau, Zurich. At a directors meeting im- mediately following the annual meeting, Eric Moore was elected president, Elmer Harding, vice- president and Lloyd Stewart was returned as secretary-treasurer. finitesimal way and in the long run waste taxpayers money. Hydro transmission lines are still another example. Why not run them over the poorest land and through swamps. Sure, it's initial costwill be higher, but the long run cost can't be measured. If we are to export electricity to the US why not build the power plants close to the border so food producing land is least distur- bed? Planning reports are for 95 percent devoted to urban plan- ning. As an afterthought a page is used for farm planning. And this when food prices are increasing at a fearful rate, It sure baffles me. Phone 235-2081 fimiiiiiinunimmuilinmunninuanaminimminimmiuminintinniunimummlimuminiaininnier-; By ADRIAN VOS If land for growing food is used up by non-farm uses at the rate it is now we will have no agricultural land left in another 40 years. This however doesn't seem of much concern to many in our society. The mayor of Sarnia for in- stance seems to find it more important to have broader assessmentbase for his city. He shoots off telegrams to govern- ments to build more 4-lane high- ways or a Sarnia pipeline so his city can attract more industry. This in turn will necessitate more residential development and so spiral on to attract more industry to keep the people employed. It then follows that more high- ways will be needed, And to blazes with food production. If we have to import food at a higher cost, so what, the mayor will be famous for having created a super city. Another example of short- sightedness is the use of sewage lagoons in or near our small towns. Grand Bend needs 80 acres for a lagoon, later it will turn out that a lagoon is not big enough and a treatment plant will be needed anyway. We see this in Petrolia where they have dug 'holes in; our food producing •base and now they find out that a treatment plant is necessary. The same is happening in Exeter I'm told.
