There was no discussion, but the group listened to a radio broadcast on the subject of "Surplus." The conclusion of the speakers seemed to be that if a working committee was given the authority to arrange for the disposal of sur- pluses, the Job would have a good chance of being done. On the re- port of the National Farm Forum Secretary, regarding school tax, a large percentage of forums said there was need for some revision in the school tax system. With re- gard' to accidents on the farm, the forums listed downright careless- ness, children riding tractors, speed, and lack of ordinary pre- caution, as some of the causes of accidents. , On the question, "Are our min- eral resources being used to the best interests' of all Canadlane?" some of the answers were: Too much outside capital is being used in developing the minerals; also we should have more control over our products.

He quoted the West- ern Ontario Marketing Board as one which has proven to be satis- factory to the 'bean producers. Marketing boards should be the answer to our price problems, op- erating as we do today with prices which are not paying for the cost of production, and which are leav- ing the farmer without purchasing power is going to upset the econ- omic -system, the speaker said.

Lack Of Interest; No F. of A. Field Day There will be no Federation of Agriculture Field Day in 1954, di- rectors of the Huron organization decided at a meeting in Clinton Thursday. Interest in the field day which has been an annual feature since the founding of the organiza- tion, has been decreasing in recent years. The 1953 field day was held in Seaforth.

In answer to a request by the county federation for a third agri- cultural • representative for the county. James Garner. director of extension of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, said the de- partment is. not in a position to appoint a third man. The request was made because of the increased work being done by the present men.
