Mr. Fer- guson, although not agreeing with the present Government -in every- thing they do, commended them for being willing to spend more money to improve British Markets, and as a sumrrary urged the production of the best in what you spenialize, to advertise your product and to im- prove the quality.

The cure for our own cares is care for others. Oat/s are shipped against competi- tion of Scotland. Beef shipped on foot during the past year or so have increased and what we need here is a supervision and check on animals sent over. Quality is the one thing- that will insure us the best price in the best market in the world. New Zealand is our rival in the cheese market, all cheese being Govâ€" ernment inspected. Our best cheese is as good as anfvx cheese, but not always the best is sent, therefore spoiling our market for it. (Our barley shipments are limited and the demand is great. The turkey market is active. in the past two years we have shipped a million pounds. Our biggest competitors in the wheat market are Australia and Ar- gentina but we can demand a better price for we have better wheat. We have a large market for Bacon but it could be larger if our bacon sent over was always the best quality as is the Danish product. However the quality of bacon is improving but one poor shipment of bacon will up- set our market for a month. Mr. Ferguson added, however, that Ba- con and chickens would be his speâ€" cialty when going into farming as a young- man. 2.65% of our Agriculture products fexported is bought in the British Empire. Our marketing in Great: Britain is more staple than other countries and the best market econ- omically. Competition is keen among our rivals, wanting to market in Great Britain. What can we do? l‘f Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, for- mer Ontario Premier and one time Canadian High Commissioner in London was able to start farming as young man he would specialize in bacon and chickens. So he told the Unionville Junior Farmers or- ganizations at a meeting held in the township hall last Monday evening. The speaker was introduced by Col. Deacon and Mr. Ferguson expressed pleasure on having the opportunity of speaking to a group of young farm people, as he said he consid- ered himself a junior farmer.

Members of council expressed criticism of the action of the Coun- ty council in- not passing on to the municipalities the full benefit of the action of the government in assumâ€" ing the municipalities' share of the cost of old age pensions and moth~ ers’ allowances.

Reeve Scott and other members of counâ€" cil agreed but it was pointed out that increased estimates of the Counâ€" ty prevented the entire saving being passed on to the ratepayers, alâ€" though there will be a substantial reduction in county rate this year.
