Claims Hill 'dictator' EXETER PHARMACY Guard your white gold with Green Cross The Horne Economics Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food is again holding 4-H Homemaking‘ Club Achievement Days in Huron County. The 1,100 girls who are par- ticipating in the current project, "Taking a Look at Yourself," have been studying tips on good grooming, storage of clothes, skin and hair care and posture. Each girl has been working on a special good grooming or storage aid or project pertaining to the unit. Miss Jane Pengilley, Home Economist for Huron County will be conducting the following Achievement Days in this area. They are Crediton Area Achievement Day at Stephen Central School, April 20; Exeter Area Achievement Day at Exeter High School, April 27, and Zurich Area Achievement Day, Zurich Community Hall, May 11. All friends and relatives are invited to attend the afternoon program, which begins at 1:15 p.m. The girls will be presenting skits and exhibits on various topics related to good grooming. Your presence will show your support for the young people of the county. Members of the Senior 4-H Training Course, "More Ideas for Sewing Knits," are putting the finishing touches on their knitted garments for Summary Day. Two Summary Days are being held in Huron County..They are at Wingham Presbyterian Church, Tuesday, April 23, and Clinton Legion Hall, Wednesday April 21, The program promises to be an interesting one. The ladies will have a Fashion Parade of adults' and children's clothing to show off their original creations. Miss Nancy Simpson, Clothing List winter wheat prices Patoran By AaRIAN VQS An advertisement in a magazine offered "organically grown vegetable seed" for sale. H made me think that some people have ideas about their health in their food eating habits and are willing to pay much more for food than less concerned people do. On the other hand, now that beef grown with the help of hormones, that could theoretically cause cancer, is banned from our Stiores,one hears more about a possible price in- crease than about a possible cancer death. Not many people are too concerned about the reports that there is only enough wheat in the world today to feed this world for one, I repeat one month. It is frightening. One world wide crop failure or near failure, and literally millions upon millions of people will starve to death. Most every one knows that now, at this very moment, hundreds of thousands ,of Africans are starving. We, the -rich peoples, go right on squandering our resources that grow food. Another reason for food shortages is the fact that there is much opposition against ingredients to preserve food from spoilage. It could presumably cause something or other if eaten in great quantities, so we rather let it rot. I heard mention that one-third of all food is spoiled for this reason. Beef prices in the NWT are so high that people can't afford to buy it. Now they turn to the hunters for caribou meat. The . Indian leaders are worried that the caribou may be hunted to extinction if this keeps up. Marion Brechin of the Con- sumers Association of Canada is one of those women who claim to • come from a (Lucknow) farming area. If she did, she certainly wasn't very observant, for she keeps on attacking farmers. The last I heard of her was that consumers can't go on in- definitely subsidizing agriculture. For heavens sake, can't someone set her straight that agriculture has been sub- sidizing consumers for a hundred years? Food prices are up, what? Look at running shoes. They are up by 60 percent and before the year is out further •increases are ex- pected. Authority tour Sales of Ontario winter wheat by producers since July 1973 to April 1, 1974 total 11,9311700 bushels which has been' pur- chased by the Ontario Wheat Board. • Total 1973 production is estimated at 14.8 million bushels. Resale by•the marketing board includes the following: 6,741,145 bushels to domestic flour millers; 323,000 to domestic seed dealers; 775 bushels to domestic feed dealers; and 1,574,200 bushels for export. Present Ontario Wheat Board inventory. totals approximately 3,292,580 bushels. The initial price to Ontario producers for grade no. 2 or better for the month of April is $2.11 per bushel less 1 cent per bushel board license fee. The present price to flour millers for domestic human consumption is $3.25 per bushel. organizations and the only far- mers organization, they, will come to the same conclusion that the Ontario Farmers Union and the other provincial farmers Unions did in the 1960's and many other farmers did as far back as 1900. I challenge all farmers in- cluding members of farm organizations to dig into the history of all farm organizations in North America. I challenge especially those who believe that we still have a free enterprise system as described by Adam Smith in his book, "The Wealth of Nations". I would recommend that they also attend meetings of both organizations and get those in charge to explain the structures of their organizations; the strong points and the weak points. While they are doing their research, I would suggest they read the following books: The Rise and Fall of Farm Organizations by Jake Schultr; The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool by S. W. Yates; The New Society by E. H. Carr; Limits to Growth by Meadows; Economics and the Public Purpose by J. K. Galbraith. Once the farmers have ac- complished the aboVe then they should be ready to attack the cause of the problem rather than.' the symptoms. If they do not understand what these books are talking about or how they effect farmers livelihoods then I would suggest .they attend meetings ,of•the ,NFU at which one of the National Board or better still, the National President Roy Atkinson or the National Vice-President, Walter Miller are speaking and these people will be able to explain the Connetion. But I, would warn you farmers not to wait until next winter to undertake this project. By that time farmers may have lost all that has been gained in the past century. "fo-r herbicide- for white beans Yours truly, -Joe O'Neill, RR2, Dalkeith, Ont, About 250 persons enjoyed a tour of the Ausable-Bayfield copwya,tim , Au th ori ty Wed- nesday night. The tour was by way of slides at the authority office and showed the many properties owned and operated by the local authority which was the first formed in the province of Ontario. Pictures were shown of the park and camping lands along with erosion and flood control work being carried out throughout the watershed area. Authority chairman Elgin Thompson was in charge of the tour and resources manager Roger Martin was the guide. Dear Editor: Mr. Gordon Hill says the OFA will not support the N.F.U. in any withholding actions which they mightundertake in order to get a better deal for farmers. Dairy farmers claim to be losing money, both fluid and industrial shippers; bfef farmers claim to 'be losing as high as $100.00 per bead and hog or pork producers up to $30.00 per pig yet Mr. Hill will not support action. Mr, Hill didn't ask the mem- bership of the OFA what they want to do because he never had time to do so before making his comments. He obviously is the dictator and does not believe in democracy. He will go further than not supporting any N.F.U. actions. He will direct his "Yes" men to do everything in their power to discredit the farmers efforts, break any picket lines, etc. in order to make sure the N.F.U. does not gain any concessions which will allow farmers to get out of the cost-price squeeze. These actions of the OFA described above were taken by the OFA when hogs were $22.00 per cwt. and the NFU attempted to get the OPPMB to take a serious look at the NFU livestock policy. Those .who crashed the Union picket line at the Stratford hog assembly yards included Beverly Hill, son, of OFA president Gordon Hill. Mr, Hill and other top officials of the OFA are good for making loud noises but doing very little: Mr.' Hill, Mr. Phil Durand and Mr. Delmar Bennett were at one time members of the Ontario Farmers Union provincial board when it was decided that a national federated structure which both the Union and Federation had at that time, could not work in the best in- terests of farmers. Mr. Bennett was one of the delegation from the Ontario Farmers Union who worked for three years to develop the structure and constitution which the ,National Farmers Union operates under today. Today it is very obvious that a federated, structure like the C,F.A. will not work in the in- terests of farmers by the fact that they refrained from tackling the issue of a national grains policy and transportation policy at their convention this year. The NFU has developed and improved on both as well as policies to cover all farm produce. These people mentioned above are now trying to break down the organization that they helped to establish. I feel that Mr. Durand honestly believes that he is working in the best interests of the farmers but the other two know full well that they are not. The OFA is claiming a large membership. This tells me that that the farmers of this province are unable to get rid of high pressure salesmen and are willing to buy a "pig in a poke". Any farmer who takes the time to investigate all the farm Can crop insurance said beneficial Insurance plans for processing crops proved to be beneficial in stabilizing income for vegetable growers in 1973, As with other crop insurance plans, only half of the required premium has to be paid by the grower to insure these high-input cost crops; the other half is subsidized by the Federal Government. All administration costs are paid by the Ontario Government. The greenpea insurance plan attracted 588 growers with contracted acreage totalling 17,550 acres. The total subsidized premium of $122,850 carried an insurance liability of $1,616,000, Under the sweet corn plan, 462 growers applied for insurance on 21,970 acres, Insurance liability amounted to $1,881,115 With a total subsidized premium of $98,870.
