Three speakers address
GFO information meeting
Several farmers of Ashfield
Township gathered in Dungan-
non Agricultural Hall on Thurs-
day evening to learn more about
the General Farm Organization
now being planned.
Elmer Hunter, president of
Huron County Federation of Ag-
riculture. chaired the meeting
and introduced speakers Iack
Stafford of Wroxeter, Ken Pat-
terson and Tony Strybosch of
Middlesex County.
Mr. Strybosch' in his talk
said that the local organization
has the most value and merit
and it all depends on the farmer
himself how well this new or -
ganization will function. Farm-
ers Must stick together, work
together and support the G. F. O.
It is the farmer himself who is
really responsiblefor his prob-
lems as all farmers haven't
worked together for the agri-
cultural good.
He felt the marketing boards
fully realize the need of a Gen-
eral Farm Organization and was
sure that they could function to
better advantage if the farmers
themselves, would co-operate
and give guidance.
Mr. Patterson felt that the
biggest concern was being able
to communicate and not how
membership would become ef-
fective. "Let us up -date our-
selves as farmers and change
our ways in trying new ideas, "
said Mr. Hunter.
If each farmer in Ontario
would pay $10.00 membership
immediately then the one mil-
lion dollars would be raised, to
get G.F.O. functioning, said
Mr. Stafford. The maximum
check -off would be 2/10 of l%
from each farmer. This would
raise the money for the opera-
tion of G. F.O. at all levels.
Each local consisting of 1000
farmers . would have a director
and three delegates at the found-
ing convention. In Hu r o n
County there are about 4, 000
farmers, meaning four locals,
and four directors instead of
the usual one we have had in
Federation, said Mr. Stafford.
Mr. Hunter asked the people
present to form a committee
to give every farmer a chance
to sign the petition, to form a

NOT PROHIBITED RURAL AREAS
A story carried in last week's
Advance -Times indicated that
the use of firecrackers, air and
pellet guns and firearms was
prohibited throughout the Town-
ship Howick.
Such is not the case. The
prohibited areas include only
the police villages and hamlets
in that township.
Ontario farmers will haire an
opportunity to find the answers.

Dr. Stan Young, Extension
Agronomist with the Depart-
ment of Crop Science, Univer-
sity of Guelph questions
whether the 6 million acres of
legume forages in Ontario are
growing legumes well enough
at the present time.
" W e . should ask, " says Dr.
Young, "how well are they be-
ing handled, and how well are
they being treated to get the
maximum protein value. "
"These are questions that
. will be discussed. If farmers
can't find the. answers on their
own farms then it would b e
worthwhile attending the forage
day on June 4th, Dr. Young
stated. •
The forage day is sponsored
by the University of Guelph and
the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture and Food. Tours of
the research plots and a progress
report on the station will be, •
featured in the afternoon. Morn-

Return from trip
to west coast
Mr. and Mrs; Cletus Rett-
inger of Tceswater, formerly
of the W ingham .arca, have re-
turned home from an extensive
motor trip to the west coast.
They travelled through t h c
States going out, spending ten
days in Victoria and Port Al-
berni on. the Island, • returning
by the Trans -Canada Highway.
While travelling through Al-
berta, Mr. Rettinger, a farmer
at heart; could not but marvel
at the hundreds of acres of grain
in the fields and on Sunday,
Nlay •4th, at Vcgrcville, Alta. ,
plucked some oats from a sheaf
that had been out since last
fall's harvest. The' straw is as
bright as the day it was cut and
the heads well filled, indicat-
ing that western weather condi-
tions must be entirely different
than what is experienced here
during the winter.
