William A. Stewart, announc- ed the introduction of a new Industrial Milk Production Incentive Program for 1974-'75 on July 18th. The Program in effect from Jul 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975 will continue to encourage the expansion of Industrial Milk Production and the modernization of production facilities in a manner similar to the original 1973 Industrial Incentive Pro- gram. Mr. Stewart comment- ed that the success in 1973-'74 Program has convinced the Ontario Government of the need to continue the incentive rogram for another year to elp insure the retention of Ontario's portion of the Cana- dian Dairy Commission's Market-sharing Quota. Con- sumer demand for industrial milk products, including: but- ter, cheese and powdered milk, has further strengthen- ed our desire to provide a systemd of e dpandrig Ontarft&s Industrial milk output. Under last year's program, an estimated 1,860 loans were recommended totalling over e Furniture Barn of August 13 - 20. The delegates who will be visiting Durham are Brad George, Box 87 of Marwayne, Alberta and Judy Danielson, 5103-58 Street, Camrose, Alberta. While here, the two delegates will be billeted in farm homes in the County and during their stay will be observing agricul- ture in Durham, and at the- same time, getting to meet people, not only in the Junior Farmer club, but in all the other different groups, such as 4-H and so on. Durham Holstein Club 'Twilight Meeting" This year the annual Dur- ham County Holstein Club Twilight Meeting will be held at the farm of John Ferguson, R.R. 3, Port Hope. The Twilight Meeting which has become an annual affair of the Holstein Club, is held to provide an opportunity for Holstein breeders and dairy- men in general to get together, along with their families and have an enjoyable evening of taking part in judging a number of dairy classes and hearing from a guest speaker. We would also like to point out that the Holstein Club Twilight Meeting can be used as a "makeup meeting" for all 4-H Club members in the County, but we would encour- age 4-H members who do not need to makeup a meeting to attend the meeting and learn a little more about dairy cattle selection and in general meet different people from across the County. Farm families will also have the opportunity of meeting the 4-H Exchange Delegates from Middlesex County who will be visiting Durham County from July 29 - August 5th. The delegates will be staying at the homes of Brian DeJong, R.R. 1, Nestle- ton; Dale VanCamp, R.R. 1, Blackstock; Dave Larmer, R.R. 1, Blackstock and Ruth Chater, R.R. 2, Orono. We would encourage all 4-H members and their families to come out and meet the young people and show them a true Durham County welcome. The Twilight Meeting is held on Thursday, August 1, 1974. WESLEYVILLE The heavy rains of last week brought welcome moisture to gardens and fields, and be- cause it fell without strong winds, soaked well into the ground. Garden' produce is ready for the freezer or canning, carrots, beets, beans, lettuce are in abun- dance as well as cabbage and potatoes, all of them a welcome source for the table in this time of high prices. Church service on the Hope Pastoral charge was held on the lawn of the Lavergh Farrow home instead of the usual olace at the woods. This area had been prepared as usual by Mr. and Mrs. Farrow with a great deal of effort but Saturday's rain had left the road to the woods very muddy. About 100 people were present to take part in this open air service under or near a huge maple tree. The junior choir provided the special music singing, "God loves a cheerful giver" and "God loves you as you are", accompanied by John Groenveld with auto harp and Ruth Kellog and guitar. They were led by Mrs. R. Lax. Rev. J. Ramjit read the scripture story of Jonah and based his message on the effort Johah made to get away from God's command. He was a man of good intention shown. by his willingness to sacrafice himself to save the sailors but had a mistaken idea about his duty to fulfill God's pruposes. The morning was fine, the refreshments following the service provided opportunity for good fellowship, so it was a very satisfying worship per- iod. All of this does not just "happen", plan and work on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Farrow, Lloyd Kellog and others who brought chairs and tables from the church and those who assisted with the lunch, made it so. Carrie Lynn Symons who assisted at the Historical Centre in Port Hope on Saturday afternoon reported the had callers from Toronto and Edmonton, people who were visiting in the area. Leland Payne of Newton- ville called at Harold Barrow- clough's on Sunday morning to report on a recent trip to the west where he visited rnutual cousihs in Saskatchewan. Mrs. W. Barrowclough, Con- nie and David of Peterborough have been visiting the Harold Barrowclough's this past week, and also with relatives in Bowmanville. KENDAL Our hast 9 o'clock service was held on Sunday and during the month of August we can attend other .churches. Hope to see you back on Sept. 1 at 11L30 a.m. .Rev. Gordon $26,000,000 for an average of - $12,400 per loan. The anticipa- ted increase in- industrial milk, as a result of the program, has surpassed ori- ginal expectations by 22 per cent to a total of close to 304,000,000 pounds. The main features of the 1974 Program are essentially unchanged from the previous program. The program is made up of a five-year guaranteed bank loan with no repayment of principal in the first year of the loan. Grants of up to 20 per cent of the principal payable to farmers, if all projected milk commit- ments are met. Can shippers of industrial milk will be asked to convert to bulk milk tanks, in order to obtain loans under the program. In his announcement, Mr. Stewart pointed out that we must encourage and assist Ont- ario's 4,800 industrial milk producers, shipping in cans, to convert to modern bulk handl- ing facilities. Once the switch is made, milk productivity will hopefully increase for the individual producer. Eligiblé farmers must be holders of a milk production license and suppliers of milk in the Group 1 or Group 2 ool, or sell their cream to a icensed Ontario Creamery. Interested applicants will be assisted by local staff of the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture & Food and the field staff of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, in determining how great an increase in milk productión is attainable and how much money should be borrowed in relation to the repayment capabilities of each farmer. Grants under the program are over and above the grants available under the Capital Grants Program of the Ministry of Agriculture & Food. If dairy farmers in Durham County have ques- tions, or would like to take part in the '74 - '75 Milk Production Incentive Pro- gram, please get in touch with the Agricultural Office in Bowmanville and we will start the ball rolling to determine what your needs are going to be over the next few years, and what would be the best way of obtaining the goals you have set. 1974 Price of Seed Wheat Announced The Ontario Wheat Produ- cers Marketing Board has set the 1974 price of seed wheat to seed dealers at $3.25 per bushel. In making the an- nouncement, the Wheat Pro- ducers Marketing Board em- phasized that the price applies only to wheat sold by the board .o domestic seed deal- ers. Price levels which dealers sell seed to wheat producers is established by the Seed Deal- ers depending on category and variety of seed. The Market- ing Board is responsible for establishing the price of wheat for all uses, except wheat sold by one producer to another producer for use on that individual producer's farm. Such producer to producer sales for seed or for feed are exempt from all marketing boar dregulations. As an indicator of what the prices have donc over the last year, the Marketing Board bas pointed out that the board price to seed dealers in 1973 was $3.18 per bushel, or an increase of 7 cents per bushel for 1974 seed. Again, we do want to emphasize that this price of $3.25 is the price that the Marketing Board bas set for wheat sold by the board of domestic seed dealers.

In this day and age we cannot understand the sorrows and tragedies which take place and blame God for it when most of the happen- ings can usually be traced to human error. God works in mysterious ways and perhaps he is trying to teach us something by not making our lives a bcd of roses. Mr. Montgomery played another recorded hymn from the new hymnary.
