O.F.A. convention in» Adrian Vos of Blyth was Hamilton later this month named president of the Huron* will have some 20 delegates from the Huron ,Federation and several more from commodity groups. It's a disgrace, he said, that a top agricultural county in Ontario Can't support its own County Federation of Agriculture. Elected second vice-president of the 2,200 member organization was Maul -ice Bean of RR 1 Auburn. Mr. Vos, who was first vice president this past year, defeated Vince Austin •of Dungannon in an election for the top post. Mr. Bean, who lost out In ai three`way vote for' first vice won a three way fight ,for the second vice- presidential position. Alan Walper`RR 3, Parkhill was named first vice-president. Elected directors at large were Wayne M�a.li"n, Beverley Brown aii = past president, Doug Fortune. Mr. Vos, and several of the other speakers at the meeting pointed to a growing crisis in the organization. He pointed to the fact that at the organization's year end on August 31 it had $400 in the bank, but nearly $2,000 in debts, including per dietmand- mileage for county director' for the past year. The Huron Federation program, Mr. Vos said, has been one of , the most ex - farm organization. . • Also hitting on the same subject was another former presient,• Mason Bailey of Blyth. Mr. Bailey in saying that he was withdrawing from active role in the Federation because he was no longer farming, said the O.F.A. can't stop where it is, that it must keep going, He asked those present to do a favour for O.F.A. president' Gordon Hill and others who had worked so hard° to build the organization, and to try to recruit new members. .- He said the situation in Huron is serious, that the income of %the county " federation is half of what it used to be when the dollar was worth twice ,what it is today. The organization, he said, can't live without money. Gordon Bennett says farming different in '75 yet the same Agriculture in Huron County has changed in the past 25 years, yet it has stayed the same. That was the assessment of Gordon Bennett, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario and a former Agricultural Representative in Huron county 24 years ago, as he addressed the Huron County Federation of Agriculture annual meeting in Clinton on Thursday night. Mr. B-ennett said that the biggest change in that period said the recent egg vote really boiled down to the questinon: "Do you really. want to work together or don't you" and farmers showed by their large majority that they did, He said all new. marketing boards have problems but these have to be, worked out over time. The now suc- cessful pork, milk and -'bean boards all had their problems, he pointed out. He said he sees times ahead_, that will be very challenging of time' is that farming has for .farmers.

Huron county's gross farm income reached $120 million last year, he said. But while farming has- changed, the aims and aspirations of Huron farmers have remained the same. He said that 'the family farm has been good for the policies with little success.. He was asked if the ministry would consider a change 'in the , present cow -calf stabilization ;plan. .He an- swered that there was. provision for review of,the plan at the end of each yer.

He told the 160 ,persons present ,that he had never accomplished a thing on hiS own, and wasn't ashamed to say that without help, he'd have done very • little. In the same' way; he said, farmers should work .together to solve their problems. Several questioners after the speech tried to pin Mr. Bennett down on farm Mr. Bennett said he was out of his depth on the .question. He said it was hard to say what would convince the government to negotiate with the O.F.A. when there were 22 commodity boards and several other farm organizations in the province. I=re said he knew .some ex- cell'enf farmers who. don't belong to any farm,. organization at all. "My concern" he said; "is that the proper farm voice is represented."
