We also have corn, pork, soybean, beef, wheat, etc. boards which have
"check-off" programmes which have the force of law behind them and might as
well be gummint enforced. The money is used in "marketing and education" and to
provide cushy lifestyles for the executives of those boards. A penny a bushel
doesn't seem like a lot until you multiply the acres under cultivation times
the production. (13+ billion bushels of corn for 2013).

The interesting part of that is less the story than the grocery store advert on
the facing page. 48 oz Hawaiian Punch @ 3/$1, etc. YIKES
 
The same query via BING gives 

Dunmore Road Douglas, ON
    Canada    Ontario    Douglas    Dunmore Road

Below are the 2 street addresses that allhx has information on.

776    834   

Nearby streets: Dillabough Road, Cobden Road, Stokes Road, Helferty Line, Barr
Line, Cheese Factory Road,   Rice Line, McHale Street, Robertson Street

He may be retired by now - the story was from 1973 and he'd been on the job for
eight years at that time.
