glimpses of a variety of charac-
ters. For example; June 1942.

Approve Petition Of Beef. Men m
The Ontario Farmers' Union
is preparing to circulate a pet.
ition among beef producers cal-
ling for a Beef Marketing plan
with agency powers. The OFU
board of directors gave its
marketing committee the nod
to proceed with the petition, at
a meeting late in September.
Before a plan can be Ultra
duced, under the Marketing
Act, a petition bearing the
names of at least 15 percent
of the producers must be filed
with the Farm Products. Mark.

tee, said a meeting had been
held with members of the Farm
Products Marketing Board to
clear the wording of the pet.
ition.
Mr. Miller said the decision,
_on when to proceedwiththeplan
will be based on the support
the petition receives. "There
is complete agreement with the.
Committee that a `"Marketing '
Board for slaughter cattle
should be established with in.
itial major emphasis placed on
trading practices." `
Since the movement was first
• • •started about -ten months ago by
the . OFU there has been a not.
iceable 'increase in the amount
of effort being put forward by
some packers to buy their cat-
tle direct from the farm. "This
practice weakens the whole
price structure and virtually
• dertroys the competitive sys,
tem," he said.
The Union vice president says
he is encouraged by the amount
of support that appears to be
generating throu`gh`out the pro.
vince, for the idea of a Beef
Marketing Plan. While a pro-
vincial Marketing Board will not
be able to do everything far,
mers 'wquld like done price -
wise, hesaid itw•ill enable them
to apply collective bargaining to
their industry and provide a
starting' place for what could
. lead to a national plan.
Mr. Miller said every effort
will be 'made to encourage dairy
farmers to participate fully in
the program, since nearly half
of our beef slaughterings are
from dairy herds.
"If sufficient response comes
from the petition," he said,
"it is conceivable that a plebis.
-cite could be held on the clues -
tion in the ear'* part of the
winter and a working plan in
operation by spring of 1968."
