Federation of Agriculture were told here Thursday night. This was the opinion of W. saw no. evidence of any decent Oswald, Chesley, field man lor' cattle bred in Russia and con-the Bruce County Federation cf sidered the hog types there m- Agnculture, as he addressed the ferior federation's annual banquet at! lems, that we might better serve out county populations. We look to each council to present both problems and possible solutions to the association.

rf "The bulk of the meetings should involve discussion of pioblems and solutions rather than discussion of problems," he said. One other subject which the county should support he suggested, was the association premise that real estate should not carry 50 percent of road costs. Reeve Menzies charged "the so-called subsidy which is actually the use tax collected by the government should be revised so that fair-user share of each road is collected. It would mean a sliding scale subsidy, ranging from 50 percent to 100 percent, depending on the use of the road; and county couiv cils would be well advised to look into this issue." One other matter he looked for at these association meetings, "the ability to have sessions where we let down our hair and discuss each county problem without any inhibitions of any kind." His requests gained the full support of the council here.

A -tw-vr jrf "few t4" a Corn Vote Discussed Kent Growers 3Iap Opposition CHATHAM Strong points i and weaknesses of the proposed corn marketing plan to be voted on in January by Ontario growers were debated Thursday night at a meeting of the district corn producers at the Chatham Memorial Community Centre. George McCague, chairman of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board, answered questions for organizing opposition to the vote. George Morris of R.R. 1, Merlin, a leader of the opposition, asked for two plans, the present one and a second one to be presented by the opposition for the vote.

Mr. McCague said the growers petitioning for the vote on the plan, drafted it after several years of study and review by the Ontario Commercial Corn Association. Opposition for the vote, he said, would have to be registered with a negative vote. The proposed half-cent per bushel cost in the vote was one of the points of opposition, along with the present plans in regard for the appointment of directors. Ninety-five percent of the Ontario farmers who market I produce through 26 provincial plans do not regard themselves as "fenced in" by compulsion i Mr.

McCague said in answering i a query on "free enterprise." A request for a postponement of the vote, he said, could not be considered. He also said the half-cent per bushel levy will not be increased unless a second vote was called. Mr. McCague told the growers they have little chance of being heard by the Federal Government on any matters unless they can assure them they speak for all growers, thus necessitating the vote. David Bradley, president of the Kent Federation of Agriculture, was chairman.
