NFU discuss very
important issues
By LLOYD WILLERT
On April 131 attended a N.
F.U. board meeting held in
Toronto. Our Regional Co-
Ordinator Blake Sanford
called this meeting to
discuss, as he called them,
some important issues
concerning farmers. There
was a lengthy discussion on
Bill 70 which according to
some critics is supposed to
put farmers in a straight
jacket because you would
need an inspector for almost
• every time you would go on a
roof or do repairs to
buildings and so on.
Upon studying the Bill we
decided to take a further look
at parts of the Bill that might
well be of advantage to some
segments
industry,
knocking
might be
discussion
grants. These grants were
brought in in 1967 and will
terminate in 1979. A
resolution was passed that
we press to have the Act
contunued but grants be
adjusted according to in-
of the farming
rather than
something that
needed. Another

flation, until such time as
farmers achieve prices that
bring full cost 'of production
plus a reasonable profit.
During the discussion it
was pointed out that these
grants helped the con
struction and manufacturing
industries more than they
helped farmers. A farther
discussion took place to point
out the difference between a
marketing commission and a
producer elected board. A
report on youth activities
was given by Marilyn Cline
our regional junior advisory
member. She reported a
very satisfactory youth
seminar was held in Guelph
in February, but so far only
seven young people have put
their name in for the east
west exchange.
Another item discussed
was metric conversion in the
pricing of milk. It was feared
as of now the milk producer
is the loser.
A progress report on the
corn committee was given
by Robert King. He stated a
letter was received from Bill
Newman Ontario Minister of
Agriculture and in his letter
he stated 15 percent of
producers on a petition is
needed for a vote for a
marketing commission. He
stated our plan is provided
for under the Farm Products
Marketing Act. This Com
mission could have pricing
powers to producers but
would need special
legislation to price farther
into the system. Very
Interesting!
On April 111 was in London
with a group of N.F.U.
members to submit a brief to
a committee representing
the Canadian grain com
mission. This committee is
holding hearings across
Eastern Canada to get the
feeling as to whether or not
the Canada Grains Act
should be proclaimed in
Eastern Canada.
The N.F.U. has always
supported this act to Eastern
Canada because we feel
there could be some ad
vantages including:
(a) The licensing of all
elevators in the province
under the Canada Grain
Ac.t and the authority to
suspend the license of
elevators that violate
regulations.
(b) An official Canadian
Grains Commission grading
system offering the right of
appeal would be available to
all sellers and buyers of
grain produced in Ontario,
thus assuring uniform
grades for all concerned.
(c) Maximum charges for
individual services would be
set by the commission for all
elevators covering all grains

produced in the province.
Provincial marketing boards
would still be able to
negotiate charges below the
maximum if they so desired.
(d) Financial protection
for producers would be
assured with the licensing of
elevators under the Canada
Grains Act. This would in
clude 100 percent coverage
of liabilities, information on
documents and use of
documents standardized,
and weigh overs of primary
elevators monitored.
(e) The right of producers
delivering grain to a
primary elevator to place
grain in storage for their own
account providing the
elevator has appropriate
space and also the option of
taking redelivery of grain of
the same grade if he so
wishes.
Regulations in the han
dling of grain in Ontario is
now under the authority of
the Ontario Grain Elevator
Storage Act and the Ontario
Farm Products Marketing
Act.
Provinces are attempting
to regulate the handling of
grain each within their own
boundaries. The extension of
all provisions of the Canada
Grains Act to all of Canada
would give producers in the
Eatern Division the
protection they require and
would give the buyers and
sellers of grain uniform
regulations for the handling
of all grains produced in
Canada.
The Toronto Board of
Trade made their sub
mission
waiting
opposed
grading
Canada,
ticular that stuck in my mind
was, one of their reasons
being that corn loses one
grade every time it is han
dled. If this is indeed true,
these costs are undoubtedly
passed on to the producers of
corn.
'while we were
and were totally
to changing the
system in Eastern
One thing in par-
This is just one reason why
we need a uniform system of
grading and marketing of
grain in Eastern Canada.
Another important factor
would be the protection of
bankruptcy, where now a
dealer can go broke and the
farmer could lose his entire
crop. Under this act the
dealers would be bonded.

contact, and the systemic action of
DI-SYSTON extends control throughout
the active rootworm larvae season. And
DI-SYSTON won’t damage germinating
corn seedlings.
DI-SYSTON is available in two

Best way to prevent corn rootworms
from building up resistance to insecticides
is to alternate from an organophosphate
insecticide to a carbamate. And
FURADAN is the carbamate to switch to.
FURADAN is the systemic insecticide
that kills corn rootworm larvae on contact
and then is absorbed by the roots to
provide long-lasting residual control. Hard,
purple granules won’t bridge or cake in the
applicator.
