Out of the Loth of discus-
sion, abodt marketing plans—
currently milk and egg plans
are bubbling—has emerged- a
bubble that, burst and some of
the speay from' that bursting
bubble may have dampened the
spirits of the less hardy sup-
porters of producer marketing._
schemes. We're referring, of
course, to the vote on a grain
corn marketing plan which was
turneddown by producers. .Df
approximately 7,500. producers
who cast ballots (1)SN mail) just
under'half (3,662) voted in favor
of the plan. Two thirds of the
votes east must favor a plan
before it can be implemented.
Some significant facts about
this vote should be noted be-
fore we speculate on any con-
clusions we might wish to
draw. -First, grain corn pro-
ducers - are located. almost 'en-
tirely in southwestern Ontario
where there are several plans
in operation—soyabeans, wheat'
and flue -cured tobacco, to men -
'tion a few. Secondly, less then
65 per cent of those eligible to
vote cast ballots. When one con-
siders the total vote at general
elections this might be adjudg-
ed a good turnout' but since
grain cora is a' cash crop that
puts money into the producer's
pocket each year we wonder
that only 65 per cent were suf-
ficiently interested to vote—es-
pecially since it meant only
of marking •a ballot and mailing
it.
On the other hand, one might
conclude that one-third of the
producers wanted a plan, one-
third didn't and the other third
didn't care one way or the oth-
er; This would not hold' out
much hope for the proponents
of any plan if this particular
vote is any criterion. That
would mean those who favor a
plan would have to get 100 per
cent support from the ,'don't
cares"—and even 10 per cent
support from that group could
be considered exceptional.
However, we doubt that the
grain corn vote can be selected
as a criterion for several rea-
sons. First, it involved a rela-
tively small segment of Ontario
farmers — just under 12,000.
Second, they were mainly con-
centrated in a small area which
hat obvious adSantageS for.sup-
porters of both sides_ of_the
question and thirdly, that area
has had experience with some
plans. The last statement does
not necessarily imply that , be-
cause of previous, experience
with marketing plans, produc-
ers are either for or against
them. There are some in eadh
category. It simply means tha
in assessing the results of thi
vote and trying to reach con
elusions about what might hap
pen in the case of a province
wide vote such as on milk o
eggs, it should be taken int
account.
There is no such thing a
blanket approval of marketin
plans—or there shouldn't be
Surely, it depends on the in
dividual plan and there's n
guarantee that any scheme a
it is first developed will b
successful. This is such a ne
area that . experience will clic
tate what is good and what i
bad. As long as the producer
in charge of a marketing' boar
are on the• job and willing t
adapt, there is ample oppor
tunity for success.
If one agrees with the pri
ciple of marketing plans, then
no scheme should be condemn-
ed until it has. been fully de-
veloped arid, in., our opinion,
had some chance to operate.

Jersey Breeders, who is sitting
on the committee now trying to
.work out an over-all milk mar-
keting plan, told producers re-
cently, don't condemn the plan

One word of caution. Do not
try this manoeuvre with any-
thing but the skip's two stones
and these should be swept into
the twelve -foot. Even a bite on
the eight -foot ring might tempt
the other skip into the fatal
strategy of hitting.
At the February 12 meeting
of the Board of Directors •'for
"FAME", the plant committee
was given authority to do the
final checking on architects and
hire their choice to begin draft-
ing blueprints., for "FAME"
plants.
Since• plant location will have
some bearing on design it will
be necessary to choose sitesin
the near future.
How soon construction will
begin and how many plants
can be constructed will be de-
pendent on the speed with
which farmers purchase., shares.
This "FAME" program looks
like a big undertaking, but it
is just. "peanuts" compared to
the investment and effort that
farmers have put Into produc-
tion. Surely selling your pro-
duct as efficiently is' worthy of
this slight investment and ef-
fort.

_ 1 -fatal Error
Over the • years of competi-
tive curling I have cussed my-
self more often for failing to
get a key guard than for any
other miscue. • l lfther the, shot
was wide, narroW;'7ong or short.
Willie Melntosh, of Gask,
Scotland, could have cinched
the Scotch Cup for"his coun-
try's first international win last
March if he had not been wide
on a twelfth end guard against
the American champions. Be-
ing unable to put the cork in
at the right place and the right
time has been the lament of
many good skips for more than
three centuries.
Next time you call for or
play a guard, think of these
check points:
Why is it that dairy produc-
tion has increased in face of
dropping. prices over the past
year? It may be said that farm-
ers, in order to -meet fixed costs
must put in another cow or
two, but in Ontario when pig
prices decline, production fol-
lows, when prices rise produc-
tion climbs.
Would we not be justified in
concluding that it is processor
influence that has ruined the
broiler and turkey industries
and is presently following the
same pattern in dairy produc-
tion. .

for a guard you are giving your
