Agricultural Minister, Eugene Whelan said in Atwd` Friday night. Mr. Whelan was farmers and their wives who are members s of the Listowel branch of the United Co -Operatives of Ontario. Scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m., the minister did net °lug,' rive 'untiip nearly four hours later because of landing gear problems with his. aircraft in . Mom. However most.of.those assemb- led s ' r '1A�b- led remained to hear. him. Tl> minister told the farmers he expects . the . announcement re- garding, signed affidavits 'for - American for -American beef coming into this country will be released early' next week. , In answerto a question can- eerning his recently Ample, mented beef subsidy of five cents on all grades of beef, Mr. Whelan said the program could and Should work effectively. Howevelr he said there are those in the bus - 'mess "who don't want to see it work because it will reveal 'too much about their operation." He contended there are people in the beef business who are making Claim form necessai to receiye subsidy "Beeproditicers who sold slaughtered cattle between March 4 and 17 can claim a pre- mium payment from the federal government," R. E. McKinley, Huron MP, told this newspaper Tuesday • afternoon. Mr. ' McKin- ley added that claim forms are being sent across the country for producers to pick up and fill out.' Payment on current market- ings is being made through cattle buyers, rather than directly to the producers. 'However, 'to ob- tain premiums on cattle 'market- ed between March 4 and 17, pro- ducers must submit a ' claim form. They must also show proof. of price; received and verify that their animals were sold for im- mediate slaughter. Mr, McKinley also explained that because there will be no ac- curate method to determine the grade of the animals • marketed between ' March '4 and 17, the premiuim has been pro -rated at five cents •per pound, to apply on all slaughter cattle with except- ion cows and mature bulls. Those' producers who sold' their cattle on a rail grade basis be- tween March 4 and 17 may make their claim on a' basis of $12.25 per cwt.; for r steers, and $12;50 per cwt., for heifers grading', A-1 and A-2, which is related to the seven cent live weight. ' A producer may only claim on the basis of either five cents on all A, B, and C live cattle sold for slaughter, or on a rail grade basis on A -i and A-2 carcasses. The Huron MP said that pro- ducers can pick up their claim forms at inspected plants, non -in- spected plants, ' public stock yards, sales barns, agricultural representatives, provincial auth- orities, Agriculture Canada division i staff, or directly ;from the Agricultural Stablization Board Office in Ottawa.

In a general vein, Mr. Whelan said his biggest problem is to try to equalize returns for all phases of agriculture. "In the old ys„ he quipped, "the big equalizer was tarried on the hip and there are times when I'm tempted to carry' ,a .45 Mr. Whelan repeat y, AM** ed tres- ed that he did not think the fair mer should' pay for good social' programs, especially those con- cerning acture such a* the World Food Bank. Many urban people, he said, new eiPect this. "The cost of good social pro- grams must be borne k by the whole of society," he said. He was equally critical of thOie who think farmers demands regar,,. , machinery are getting out of ' . Having kit come from a arm machinery Show in Montreal, Mr. Whelan described a new tractor cab he had seen. "It had everything," he said. "It was air conditioned, had a filter system arida place, for a ra- dio . ra-dio. If I was still on the farm and could get one, that would be the kind of cab I'd have on my trac-. tor." Mr. Whelan said many farmers suffered physical complaints be- cause of the kind of machinery they used. He said he himself suf- fered a hearing problem for that reason. "Why shouldn't the farmer have the best of equipment to work with," he said. "We don't expect factory workers to suffer extremes in temperatures and to breathe in dust all day, so why should we expect tlie-farmer to do it?" Still on the subject of ma- chinery, Mr. Whelan„ said farm machinery dealers must ' be pre- pared to give the farmer holiday and weekend service when need- ed. He also criticized the industry The Belmore Artificial Ice Fund will be the recipient of $1,500, a grant from the Howick Township Council, as decidedby that group as they met in regular session last .

The auditors' report for the year 1973, was accepted and councillors Douglas and Hynd- man moved that the firm of Mac- Gillivray and Co. be retrained as auditors for the township for the year 1974. The fee : is to be $1700.00. Council agreed to rescind by- law 6-66 and instructed the clerk to prepare a by-law regarding stop signs on the Howick-Carrick boundary. A second by-law, that regarding the control of dogs in the township, will be strictly enforced and the delivery of tags and collection of fees will be brought. up to date. Petitionsfor the Farrish and William Bennett drains are now being accepted and theclerk.is to notify 'the, engineer Councillors 'that the' Or** invade, a on that the Stephei'siDouglas Municipal Drain be repaired.

For -their own protec- • tion ,he stressed more farmers were going to have to purchase crop insurance protection. Fed- eral and provincial governments, he said, could. not continue to bear the cost of crop failures. Despite increasing costs,the the minister saidCanadians con- tinued to enjoy "bargain prices in food", even the best food prices in the world,` One of . agriculture's biggest -isto persuade problems suede young people to either get into farming, or to take over the family farm; according to Mr. Whelan. The re- turns from agriculture, he said, were going to . have to .be suf- ficient to make up for the lack of holidays and a seven-day work week. In order to`better the farm ma- chinery industry in Canada, Mr. Wheiae.said the federal govern- nierrit' will increase grants to' ma- chine research and testing, con- cerns, and for new design con- cepts in industry. Praising . the ability of Gana- dian farmers who' compose wily six per cent of the population, to produce enotigh for the nation and for a considerable export trade as well, Mr.`Whelan•said as long as he was minister of agri- culture; no .program would be implemented which would, ad- versely affect the farmer's pres- ent "incentive to be' creative." Canadian's take their export record too much for granted, Mr: Whelan said. "Per capita," he said, "we are the greatest trad- ers in the .world."' ; He cited the Canadian farmer's pride in his ,work along wit)1 in- creased mechanization as : the• reasons for the great success in agriculture here. 'By comparison, state controlled farms, he said• are not as successful because "at the end of the day, the worker simply walks off the job, . regard- less of whether there is another bin of grain waiting to', be pro- vesefkliebasellotifielnitttratetlee 41.theaktkrid9iXtralf0140tirofilitiuerS orhave.Armsgril ornop to,4t,t,m, of Regarding beef production in Canada., ' Mr. Whelan said it had increased by 50 per cent in the last 10 years. "Forecasts tell us that it will increase another eight per cent this -year alone." Mr. Whelan said he was confi- dent that 'if necessary, the,Cana- dian farmer could increase pro- duction by another 50 per cent. "I don't intend to take away any program which ' will take away from this incentive," Mr. Whelan said. "And I don't intend to see the Canadian farmer ruin- ed by cheap imports or by smart brokers who care little about our producers . and even less about consumers."
