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.

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.

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.

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. .

Wiliam Jewitt, the second vicepresident, conducted the meeting in the absence of the president, IT. Berry. Mr. Jewitt complimented the directors on the work during the past year making special niention of Mr. Berry, J. Winter, G. Gisher and F.

With a drawing turn--rbetter be a little wide than narrow. When plugging a port don't be light•—a rub off one of the rocks in front or a slight raise might aid your cause. A guard should - protect against the swinging turn. Guard 'a short.raise but draw in behind .a long raise. Draw your guards in close to the rings. Reserve long guards to plug ports. - Remember! Guards are pri- marily the prerogative of skips and thirds. Before you decide keep this in 'mind. If you call for a guard you are giving your opponent credit for making a shot he has not even tried. • Looking , into the patient's eye, the quack said; "I can see that you are suffering from sleeping sickness, gastritis, ap- pendicitis and diabetes."
