FUTURE SAID BRIGHT
FOR SALT INDUSTRY
Prospects for the salt industry
iu thin district are discussed in
the following article int Tite Lon-
don Free Press.
Seaforth Mayor, Dr. R. A. Mc-
Master, a director of Seaforth
Chemicals Ltd., yesterday pre-
dicted that evaporated salt may
eventually be produced in large
quantities at Seaforth, at Near-
ly half the cost of that produced
in other 'Western Ontario cons-
nlunities,
Meanwhile, a Goderieh salt
plant operated by Upper Lakes
and St. Lawrence Transporta-
tion. Company Ltd. will cease
production January 31, "because
of lack of new uses for evapor-
ated salt and the cheaper pro-
duction of rock salt which is re-
placing the evaported product
both in the chemical and ice-
coattrol fields.”
A spokesman for the 'Goder-
ieh company said today: "There
is no future in evaporated salt.”
One has but to look at the
rock salt piled on Goderich
docks, he said.
The recently -formed •Seaforth
chemical company, founded by a
group of Montreal, Toronto and
local businessmen, is enthused
at efforts to bring back the salt
industry to the town.
"From the two bores already
down we can produce between
100 and 150 tons of salt a day,"
Dr. McMaster said, "and the sup-
ply appears to be unlimited."
DDr. McMaster said that the
company is awaiting outcome of
experiments now underway by
Imperial Oil to produce natural
gas here.
"If they can 'produce the gas,
cost of salt producing will be cut
considerably, So we are wait-
ing."
,Seaforth Chemicals plans to
useo $90,000 submerged combus-
tiontion
units fired by butane gas,
which will crystallize the salt be-
fore blowing into silos for prop-
er drying.
Now it may be possible to fire
with natural gas instead of bu-
tane which will prove cheaper
and also eliminate transport
cost.
Dr, McMaster said that it was
formerly estimated that cost of
producing a ton of salt would be
$7. Using natural gas, cost will
be down to about $4.
Production method planned by
Seaforth Chemicals is a new one
to Canada and requires a mini-
mum of labor.

0.F.A. ZONE MEETING.
IN STRATFORP
Twenty-one .farm women re-
presenting Ilhron, Wellington,
Waterloo, Brant and Perth
Counties met in Stratford for
the annual meeting of Zone 2 of
the Ontario Federation of Ag-
grteulture. Three other' counties
uc the zone are Oxford, Bruce
andGrey.
Mrs George Weir of Burford,
chairmain of the zone and also
chairman of the Women's Com-
mittee of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture, presided and re-
ported on some of the year's de
velopments at C.P.A. level. As
chairman, Mrs, Weir offered
some good suggestions for in-
terest and action amongst the
women in the zene for the coin-
ing year, As a result of e recent.
interview with the Minister of
Education, Mrs. Weir suggested
that an investigation by the wo-
men into the cost of education
in the local areas might reveal
some startling information,
which if followed up could be
used to the advantage of tax
payers. Id the discussion on this,
figures were q u o t e d which
showed that about 50% of rur-
al taxes goes towed education.
In connection 'with Health, Mrs.
Weir's suggestion was that if
rural women wish, they can have
the services of Victorian Order
of Nurses made available in ru-
ral communities at a low cost.
Reports from the counties
were received and discussed.
Emphasis was placed on the ser-
vice given to farmers by the
Federation of Agriculture. It is
and always has been the aim and
also the achievement of the Fed-
eration to assist and protect
farmers in marketing their pro-
ducts to reasonable advantage.
Without this farmers have no
security nor stability in their in-
dustry. It was noted, too, that
the social and cultural side of
farm life depends a great deal
on the financial prosperity of the
farmer. Mrs, Weir recommended
that we farm women should ed-
ucate ourselves in consumer
buying of foods.
Officers elected for 1955 are
as follows: Pres., Mrs. Emerson
Dessler, R. 1, Elmira; Vice Pres.,
Mrs. L, D. Taylor, Fergus; Sec.
Treas., Mrs. J. Scott Davidson,
R.R. 1, Britton; Press Sec., Mrs.
0. G..Anderson, Wingham,
Mrs. Weir, who has served on
the Women's 'Committee of
O.F.A. for the past seven years
has given a peat deal of time
and effort to the work and Mrs.
Lloyd Taylor of Huron County
voiced the appreciation of all
present to Mrs. Weir for the ex-
cellent contribution she has made
at county, zone and provincial
levels. Mrs. Weir automatically
retires this year and it is our
hope that she will continue her
interest in the future of this
important farm organization.
