Act Has 50-50 Chance In Cour Back from Ottawa after attend- ing a conference of Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Agriculture. Hon. Eugene Cullen said last night agrlculturists throughout Canada are awaiting the results of the findings of the Supreme Court of Canada in regard to levies which agricultural boards may impose on producer or dealer members. The case in question being consid- ered is that of the Ontario Mark cling Act. Mr. Cullen said opinion seems to be divided on the matter and no one was prepared to predict how the decision would go. However consideration was being given as to what alternatives could be adopt ed if the levies were declared ll- legal. He pointed out that in Ontario. the Pulaio Mzirkcting Board is only one of several other boards concerned In the matter. Perhaps the chief one concern:-d in that Province is the Milk Board where it is proposed in the Act that ceri- ain phases of the dairy industry through lcvlcs subsidize other phascs of the industry.
