No one, of course, can expect On- tario growers to grow at a loss but what-price would make a loss should be -determined by the in- dividual growers and, if they so elect, by their individual co-ops entering into negotiations. In a free country no one should be or can be forced-to accept or pay a price he does not think economic --but in a strike everybody could lose. "Collective bargaining has, on the whole, paid off in Ontario for With the strike weapon | would not think it would do so except in -of-- shortage. Growers have another tendency to guard against. So far they have been free to set their acreage and to de- cide what they would do. There is a political trend toward selling the farmer the idea that the whole marketing should be in central hands. The end of that Sdcialist concept will be, if it goes through, that no grower can sell on his own, decide what he shall plant and how much and in a period of over-supply there will be great dissatisfaction. It has happened elsewhere." --Excerpt from Fin- ance at large, dated April 5, 1951. Since that was written on April b, 1961, the Vegetable Marketing Board has obtained a charter un- der the Ontario Companies Act to form the Ontario Can Crop' Co- operative and that co-operative is [now attempting to sign up the growers on an agreement which, if accepted by two-thirds of the IN THE GH SCHOOL EE ; Sands of Time starts run- ning anew, bringing fresh hope and opportunity. wish is 'that your plans find completion this New Year. FW. BROCK & SON.\ PHONE 43 members who grew vegetables for processing the Vegetable Marketing Scheme in 1961; will prevent any future contracts be- ing signed unless approved by the OCCC. What I suggested in April would be attempted has actually therefore been brought to a point where it can go into effect shortly if growers sign up. In fact, it was intended at first to get two- thirds of grower-membeérs commit- ted by December 15, but I under- stand that a later period is being or will be set. under It is also suggested that instead of an agreement for one yedr it shall be for three years "and con- tinue in form from year to year thereafter until cancelléd in writ- ing by registered mail by either the co-operative or the grower during the month of November of any year." He cannot cancel the agreement however, until all ob- ligations to the co-operative have been fully paid and approved by the directors of the co-operative. The grower is also asked to bind WN SElr; his heirs, administrators or assigns to the terms of the agreement which therefore looks as if it is perpetual and iron-clad. It only costs 50c. to join, but the penalty clause "at the request of the county groups" makes the grower liable to pay the 25 per cent of the contract price "for all vegetables' grown during the year it a, grower should sell his vege- tables in violation of the agree: ment. What is the incentive held ud to get growers to sign such an agree- ment? A Can-Crop news-letter as of Nov. 9.put it this way in ex- plaining w hy a 1 per cent. in- crease is being asked in the fee on gross crops returns each year to go to the Vegetable Marketing' Board: "Whatever the budget neéds within the 1 per cent. it will be a small amount compared with the returns which the grower re- PORT PERRY | & 7 IAEA 1%. kin TS S-- test win - ASAT t ERAT AS RTARTA ATRTRS !
