Signing contracts :for
canning corn, peas
Pespite weather conditions
which are anything but spring
like, Huron County farmers and
officials of Canadian Canners are
signing contracts for crops.
Clarence Down of Exeter, a
director of the Ontario Vegetable
Growers Marketing Board said
Tuesday that contracts are being
signed for canning peas,and corn.
Down said he has been assured
by Canadian Canners officials
that the acreage being contracted
to local farmers for sweet corn
will be as much or a little more
than last year.
The local board representative
went on to say, "as far as peas
are concerned there should be a
considerable increase in
acreage."
Contract prices for both peas
and corn for the 1974 crop were
approved several weeks ago and
show a large increase although
seed and harvesting will also cost
the farmer considerably more.
A story in Friday's London
Free Press said Canadian
Canners were growing corn on
their own properties this year.
This proved to be incorrect,

The annual meeting and
election of the National Farmer's
Union Local 31 was held Friday
at the Dashwood Community
Centre.
President • Lloyd Willert
welcomed the guests after a very
delicious dinner was served,
District Director Lorne Luther of
Lucknow was chairman for the
meeting.
Among the guests was Jack
Riddell M.P. for Huron, Mr.
Riddell gave a few well chosen
words and expressed his ap-
preciation for being asked to
address the group.

Lloyd Willert thanked all at-
tending and asked for more
assistance from the farmers,
saying he has attended many
other farm meetings and most
times those who attended were
corporation owners, where it
should have been mostly far-
mers,
Klopp and John Vanderburg
told of their trip out West and how
they enjoyed the exchange im-
mensely.
Diane said she first landed'in
Edmonton then was taken by bus
to • the Peace River Area, a
geographical area that is situated
about the 55 degree North
latitude line.
This is a new area, just opening
up their land similar to the
pioneers that opened up Ontario a
few hundred years ago most of
the settlers being only 2nd
generation farmers.
She stayed at a spacious brand
new home, as most had in this
new area, just outside the city of
Grande Praire which is only a

Proud of pork hostess,
big change in price tag
The second was dated 1974 also
with a $73 price tag, The com-
panion however was dressed in
rags.
This very well demonstrated
the difference in input prices that
the farmer has to shell out. Now
the pork producers'; income is
doubly jeopardized because not
only the imput went up, but the
output went down in ,price. We
remain hepefull that it will, turn
""ftn''t116 better theiigh*.'
If people ever eat the Canadian
Redcoat dinner that was served
to us on the first day, we know
that they will return to this fare
time and time again. It's gour-
met's stuff, It's better than any
meat that I've ever tasted before.
It's better than just finger licking
good. If I do sound euphorious,
just tryit sometime.
To stay with pork, I may as
well mention the Ontario Pork
Congress coming up in Stratford
on June 19, 20 and 21. Every day
from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. is a
consumer program with all sorts
of • goodies. In the restaurants
tboSe days will be featured the
aforementioned Canadian
Redcoat. That alone is worth the
trouble to rent a bus and go with
the WhTile club.

Huron county pork producers
and indeed all of Huron county
can be proud of Ontario's Pork
Hostess, our own Miss Adriana
VanRaay, I had the privilege to
watch her with several hundred
more of my peers, when she stood
before this large audience and
delivered her address about
the, role of the Pork Hostess.
Sheltreeeived a .,standing.
ovation, at least as large as
Federal Agriculture Minister
Whelan got. And when he said
later that in his view she is a
queen even when her title is not,
it was as if the audience said
"Amen". We can only hope that
this year enough girls between
the ages of 16 and 25 will compete
for the honour, so that we can
come up from Huron county with
another girl of her calibre.
Remember you non-farm girls,
you can compete too as long as
you know about pork nutrition
and pork recipes.
On the cover of our working
papers on the pork producers
convention was a picture of two
porkers. The one was dated 1973
with a $73 price tag, accompanied
by a prosperous looking farmer.

Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan hinted that the govern-
ment may raise the subsidy to
beef farmers from seven to nine
cents.
The subsidy announced last
week was instituted to ensure top
quality beef to the consumers
without raising the cost and to
tide cattlemen over a disasterous
period where many would be '
bankrupted in a squeeze between
high costs and lower prices.
The week old program allowed
for a premium of seven cents per
pound liveweight on Canadian
cattle for Canadian consumption
grading Al or A2, retroactive to
March 4,
The premium payments will be
made to producers by the
processors who will be . reim-
bursed by the government, eX-
cept in the case of retroactive
payments.
Retroactive payments will be
made through direct claims to
the Agricultural Stabilization
Board.
Between March 18 and April 6,
the seven cent premium will be
paid on A3 and A4 cattle
slaughtered.
But the subsidy brought mixed
reactions from the Ontario
Federation and the National
Farmers Union.
"The problem is the overflow of
low-priced cattle into Canada.
The answer does not lie in a
subsidy, but in reducing the flow
of imports", said OFA President
Gordon Hill.
National Farmers Union
President Roy Atkinson
disagreed with some of the
subsidy program but said it was
"basically positive" .°
He said one of the major
shortcomings of the subsidy
program was that the subsidy
was not pegged to a fixed base
price or cost or production for-
mula.
Some charge that the subsidy is
pulling the prices down in the
markets, The farmgate price of
beef has slumped to around $47
per hundredweight, said Mr. Hill.
Producers need at least $55 per
hundredweight to break even.
Mr. Whelan said however
that the increased cost of feed
and the floor of U.S. cattle coming
into the country has broken the
market and prices to the
producers have dropped.
couple of hours away from the
British Columbia border. This
was a large, clean city and people
were very friendly. The people in
that area are having a hard
struggle since they do not wish
their land taken over by the
logging companies and also
don't like the thought of the
oilmen using their land for vir-
tually no fringe benefits and also
a tough fight against Kraftco,
being so isolated from the rest of
Canada,
They have very black soil,
don't use much fertilizer on their
vast farms, grow hay and main
crop is rapeseed. Very few barns
except for Dairy barns. A neigh-
bour had the most modern dairy
farm in the area.
The most important thing she
learned was that no matter what
part of Canada you go to, the
people are all experiencing the
same farming problems and that
is why the NFU is so important.
in bringing these problems to
light and also doing something,
about them.
Guest speaker for the evening
was Gordon MacDonald, a Farm

Farm Safety Association was
formed in January 1973 and also
have 9 safety associations and
they are sponsored by the Work-
men's Compensation Board.

the farmers do belong. They paid
out 3,1/2 million dollars in claims
last year and many of these
claims were from carelessness,
such as no shields on power take

driven A tractor before and many
other careless accidents.
They go out making many farm

happy to talk to such a large

enjoy speaking at any commodity
