New PC Huron riding elects executive
The Progressive Conservative party
should promote good and progressive
thoughts and not put down the party, says
Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff.
Speaking at the founding meeting for the
new riding of Huron in Clinton last week,
Cardiff added, "It's the little things that are
damaging to the party; when one of our own
says we have failed." One example Cardiff
gave was Marcel Masse who says the PC
party has let the Quebec PCs down.
Carcff was enthusiastic about the new
Huron -riding which is the result of a revision
of Ontario's electoral districts. The local
ridings of Huron -Bruce and Huron-
Middlesex will cease to exist. Instead, three
ridings, Huron, Bruce and Middlesex, will
be formed.
With the introduction of a new riding
comes the necessity for a new constitution
for the 'PC Association. Ralph Smith read
through the Constitution Report and after a
lengthy discussion, the Constitution was
adopted.
. The officers were elected. Donna Wood of
Clinton is President; Ken Campbell of
McKillop Township is First Vice -President;
Financial Officer is Bill Henry of Goderich;
Secretary is Janet Webster of Stanley
Township; and the six Vice Presidents are
Nico Peters of Tuckersmith Township, John
Schenk of Wingham, Mel Hohner of Clinton,
Gary McCormick of Turnberry Township,
Ralph Smith of Seaforth, and Mary Proctor
of Morris Township.
The nine members on the Advisory Com-
mittee are Elmer Bell of Exeter, Lorne
Kleinstiver of Dashwood, Elmer Hayter of
Stanley Township, Mary Donnelly of
Goderich, Margaret Bennett of Wingham,
Carol Arthur of Exeter, Chris Little of Ex-
eter, Tom Jasper of Goderich, and Bruce
Shaw of Exeter. Honorary members are
Charlie McNaughton of Exeter, Bob
McKinley of Goderich Township, Murray
Cardiff of Brussels, Jim Britnell of
Goderich, Anson McKinley of Stanley
Township, Jim Hayter of Goderich, Bill
Walden of Wingham, and George McCut-
cheon of Brussels.

LONGTIME P.4RTNERSHIP
Agri -food research; 100 years of progress
This year marks the 100th anniversary of
a special partnership between the federal
government and the agri-food industry. The
result is an abundant food supply for Cana-
dians and many others. The historic link is
the formal application of science by the
federal government to food production.
It is an occasion for celebration, for
without that partnership, the forces of
nature and economics could long ago have
defeated the food system we take for
granted in this country.
The principle federal partner in the ongo-
ing relationship if Agriculture Canada's
Research Branch, now in its 100th birthday
year. It had its beginnings in the people of
vision who authorized the creation of the
first five federally -operated experimental
farms in 1886 through an act of Parliment.
Canada then was predominantly rural
country, where farmers struggled against a
harsh climate to produce food for home con-
sumption and for export.
Now, less than five percent of the people
are on the land producing food for a greatly
expanded population. Canada has emerged
as one of the major food -producing nations
of the world. And agricultural research has
been one of the most important agents in the
changes that brought this about.
The first five experimental farms, dotted
across the country to serve the peculiar
needs of their regions, have grown into 46
major Research Branch establishments.
The .original pagtnership.,.between the
federal government researcher and farmer
has grown to include reasearch activities in
provincial governments, universities, in-
dustry and other institutions.
The federal Experimental Farm System,
in its early years, gave the world Marquis
wheat, the standard against which today's
hard red spring .wheat is measured today for
protein content. Its successor, Agriculture
Canada's Research Branch, helped give the
world canola, a source of safe, low-cost,
vegetable oil.
Over the years, change and adaptation
have been the watchwords, as meehaniza-
tion and modern technology transformed
the rural economy. Now, Research Brancscientists go h
t around the
utries not much more advanced than we wto ere
Feed costs cause egg price drop
OTTAWA - The price paid to farmers for
Grade A large eggs has dropped one cent ,a
dozen in most provinces, the Canadian Egg
Marketing Agency recently announced.
The price will fall by two cents in New-
foundland and Manitoba but remains the
same in New Brunswick.
Lower feed costs and a slight decline in in-
terest rates were responsible for the general
decrease across the country, explained the
egg aWPncy.
A cost of production formula is used to set
prices paid to egg producers at the beginn-
ing of each month. The formula uses na-
tional averages for some input costs but
other factors are calculated on a provincial
basis, hence the different adjustments for
the three provinces.
Before prices are announced, they are
reported to the federal government's Na-
tional Farm Products Marketing Council.
Huron County Plowing
Match set for September 13
100 years ago, to show what we have
learned.
Problems of drought, cold, pests, disease,
transportation,storage, and high costs of
production have been tackled by
Agriculture Canada researchers through
the years. Livestock performance has been
vastly improved, crop yields increased, food
made safer and more nutritious and tastier.
Old crops have been improved, new pro-
ducts introduced, and food processing refin-
ed to keep agricultural producs moving to
' the tables of the nation.
Research Branch's 900 scientists and the
other branch staff are the inheritors of this
century of research tradition. This centen-
nial fields aar ndtbarns to are opening
publitheir csth it
accomplishments.
Still • in business as Research Branch
establishments are the original, five ex-
perimental farms. They are located at Nap -
pan, N.S., Ottawa, Brandon, Man., Indian
Head, Sask, and Agassii,
B.C. After a cen-
tury, they are still at it, creating and
managing change in the agri-food industry.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, the Huron County
Plowmen's Association will hold its annual
Plowing Match. Murray Cardiff will be
hosting the event.
To find the Cardiff Farm, turn east onto
Concession VI off regional road 12 in Grey
Township. This is the second sideroad north
of BrussPlc. Within a mile you will see plea -
tv of cars and tractors.
There will be several classes of competi-
tion to see, including a conservation class.
The event is free and a lunch will be
available. So take this opportunity to meet
with farmers, dealers and Ag. Reps. and
visit the Cardiff Farm for the day.
