CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER
`I :have ban' "ticked off" by
some 'friends , for "allowing the
subject of crass commercialism"
to creep into a few of my public; •
addresses' on. the . Centennial of
1967. .1 refer to the subject of
•
businesses making more money as
a result of the., expected boost in.
tourism and commerce in general.
` It is,' of course, quite •right that
the spirit of our birthday celebra-
tions should maintain a tone in •
keeping with Canada's national
and .historical significance as our
Parliament expressed it in an Act.
Nevertheless I continue to declare,.
in . spite , of the concern of a few
of my friends, that it is no sin for
the keepers of hotels, motels,
restaurants, roadside lunch stands, ,
shops and the' hundreds 'of thou- •
sands of other Canadian business-
men, large and small, who -will be , •
selling increased amounts of paint,
flags, musical instruments, gaso-
line and transportation; to look.
forward. to an increase in revenues
in the year 1967'.
It ' is to be: 'hoped, of course,
that'all'will realize •the importance
of fair business 'conduct. Lel it
not be said by any, tourist in our
country that • he was unfairly ex-
ploited during his visit, •
Just to. show that there need
be no fear 'of character damage
to a Canadian .who tries to do
better, financially, , • during." the
Centennial I point to no less a
dignified body 'than the Canadian
Travel Bureau.
The Gbvernment Travel Bureau
hopes to attract a gross income
from tourists from other countries
of one billion dollars in 1967.
The Bureau also has greatly in-
creased its budget 'for• advertising
outside Canada to help ' produce
that hoped-for income,
Knowing that. there is a solid•
national effort to Produce greater
tourism. many • will be encouraged
to accelerate their business activity
in the community, particularly
with`' respect tow promotion, in a
viay. that .produces localbusiness
revenue, and at the Satre time,
boosts 'the Centennial,as a national
celebration,, along with the national
economy.'
Local merchants can do things
with their shop windows, counters
and. advertising 'which' will in
crease sales and at the same time
add tothe festive atmosphere for .
the Centennial. Local ',industries
can build their corporate prestige
by going along with ,our national
beautification program: making
their properties more attractive,
landscaping, cleaning up and
painting up and perhaps putting
up .a new flag pole for the tale=
brations.
•
Local printers and publishers
can; get on the,. bandwagon • too.
Mr.' Bill Forbes, editor and maim -
ger of Canadian Printer and Pub-
lisher magazine, brimful of ideas
for small town. newspapers -.and
printers, told" us • recently he,• .is,
running Centennial suggestions in
his own column. He has tips for
Centennial promotion 'issues .of
newspapers and commercial, print-
ing project plans(O tic novel idea
of his for community printers and
publishers is to produce wrapping-
paper
rappingpaper covered with montages of
•old front page news stories pub-
lished in 19th century issues.)
Style magazine, newspaper for
the retail garment trade, is "running
a column every issue to•pass, along
,'how-to" information on Centen-
nial .sal
entennial.sal promotion. .Other busi-
ness
usi nese eds ors are publishing similar
material. •
Man can be the moat construe
tive or destructive of all animals
when he is motivated by the lure
of ,profits. Let's take the view that
we can increase revenue in 1967
in a constructive way that wit
benefit the Centennial' and all of
us.

Agricultural. Representative
Bruce. County., ••
I would like to remind the Bruce •
County .farmers :that the Barley
Sweepstake is still in existence
and has increased in value to
$150.00 plus entry fees to' the,
Bruce:County, farmer•that can pro-
duce the heaviest crop of barley
over 2 tons in 1966. :•
l ,This: spring, seedingis not con•
.
ducive to high barley yields. It
is.: too late for:the maximum use:
of nitrogen unless, 'of course, . we.
get . a `season similar to 1965.`We.
think that. producing 2 tons of bar-
ley
on a •continuing. basis means
well drained 'soil, high fertility,
weed control,. and early seeding..'
Too .much nitrogen ceded late in.
the .season, as of now,. could, pro
duce disastrous results. Barley
seedednow should be seeded with
less. nitrogen and farmers doing so
•will have to be satisfied with
lesser yields.;
In order to participate in the
Barley Sweepstakes, farmers think-
ing they have a good crop of bar.-
ley., must send . $5.00 to' the Soil
and Crop Improvement .Associa-
tion. Ontario,Department of Ag-
riculture, Walkerton, by. July lst.
The'plot must be a minimum of
.10 acresin total. • .It can, how-
•ever, be- on -more than one .field:.
• In taking yields the total field .is
measured, also the barley in the
bin. A -bushel measure is weighed
and the total amount of barley
Calculated.' ` Moistture samples '
are taken and adjusted to.14.5/0.
The purpose: of this Sweepstake
is to find out'the details and tech
niques:of growing 2 tons of barley
on a continuing' basis. We think
it can be done and just left to the.
farmers to iron. out,the details of
how to do it. Barley at two tons
per acre is as good as, and in'
many cases much better, than
corn, when the extra protein.of
%
over •2more in barley than in
corn Is taken into consideratiotl',
and the comparative costs of
growing these two crops. A farm
er 'would need at least 100 bush-.
els to the acre crop of corn to
pay better than a 2 toncrop of
barley.
There is to be a 'Drainage Day
on June 15th, '1 1/4 miles south
of Dundalk. This would be "old
hat" to most Bruce County farm-
ers because most of them have
seen and know how tile drains
are put in. I. am glad to say
that more tale drains are going in
in Bruce County all the time.
The big drawback for not putting '`°
therm in even faster is the initial,
cost. Surely the unfavourable '
. fall weather. of 1965 and the late
spring, that we are currently ex-
periencing should give much
greater impetus to tile drainag
The cost of growing grain,
everything taken into consider
is around $40.00 per ac,✓re,. Tt
allows for $13-.00''for the rent
the land providing it• is top we
drained' land, The rent allow(
on poorly drained land would I
!somewhat less.. Even on heav
soils: requiring drains three rod
apart, the cost to the farmer,
the increased allowance made
land rent might go up $10.00
an acre or so. In most :cases
IS. easy to see an extra three -q
ter ton ofgrain in'the`btin or a
extra ton and:a half,of'hay
mow: per acre. This•, with eve
normal prices for hay_ and grai
would pay the initial investme
out of extr"a.profits-in five 'to
seven. years.
In addition the Tile. Drainag
Act aliows farmers to borrow 7
of the initial cost from the Pru
uncia Government through the
Townsh'zp Councils :and."the rat
interest is 4°'o, and even 'more
total amount of the drainage i
now deductible from 'your incl
tax' in the current Year.
