HURON
COUNTY. _FARMERS'
RESEARCH NEEDED
IN FARM PROBLEMS
RADIO FORUMS FIND
The following is a swannery of the
findalgs sent to the Ontario Farm
Radio Forum Office following the
;broadcast of November 25. The sub
-
jest of the meeting was "Is R.eseach
Meeting Farm Needs," Twenty-four
Forums in Huron reported meetings.
The summary was prepared by Wes-
ley. Neelands, Ontario Secretary.
What problems in your community
require research? To meet the an-
swers submitted by Ontario Forums
on November 25 would require an
army of statisticians, chemists and
veterinarians. 'Certain problems are
mentioned over and over again. The
matter off spread in price between
what the farmer receives and what
the consumer pays is of paramount
importance. Is this due to excess
middleman profits, unnecessary "in
between" steps, advertising, unnee-
•essary transportation, or what? As
one Forum rather darkly puts it, "The
:middleman o-ught to Jae researched".
Then there is the whole field of farm
,easts. How can they be kept down?
Or if that's impossible how can prices
be -raised to cover costs?

DX -MERCHANT PASSES
DUNGANNON—Dungannon resi-
dents were shocked by the sudden
death of Charles Wesley Alton, for-
mer Dungannon general merchant
for over 20 years who retired from
business here nearly three years ago.
On Thursday evening, he and his
wife were attending a fraternal meets
ing and he was just getting out of
his' car, when he suffered a weak
spell from Which he never rallied,
dieing a few hours later
the list. Thirty-seven Farm groups
want assistance • with their potato
crops. Blight, disease' insects, and
quality of the productall need at-
tention. .Animal disease is a big
worry. Hogs and hens are most
frequently mentioned.
Forum members, these last few
years have become aware of the lin-
portance of soil testing. Sixty-eight
groups make some mention of the
need for further research; suiting the
fertilizer to the field, drainage, con-
trolling erosion, the importance of
trace elements. One group suggests
research to discover specialized pro-
duction appropriate to each county.
More help in weed control is demand.
ed. Several groups would like to
learn of better snow removal methods.
'Should more money be spent on ag-
ricultuu:al research even though it
means an increase in. taxation? The
answer is strongly in the affirmative.
Though, naturally, farmers are a .bit
careful about writing a blank chepue
for this or any other expenditure. So
there are 'demands that the research
be "practical," that taxes be not in-
creased any great amount and that
the results obtained be in proportion
to the money spent.
There's almost complete unanimity
that city folk ought to bear a share
of the cost of agrichltural research.
.After all, argue Forum members,
they will benefit by better quality
food, cheaper prices and more vitam-
ins.
