"Big farms don't mean big in- come". "Farmers out West didn't knoll( .the screenings from their grain was being sold in Ontario." "I wish every farmer could' have had the experience." These were the thoughts of Jeannette Hogan and Joe Austin at the conclusion of their Nation- al Farmers Union Youth Exch"ange. Jeannette lived with a family in south west Saskatchewan for 10 days, in a small town of 500 people. The farm families oper- ated their farms within a radius of 15 miles. School busing was eliminated by living 'in town, and some winter employment could be found. The farmers in that area did strictly cash crop- ping; wheat, barley, rye, rape- seed and mustard were the main crops. Jeannette saw a' huge pig- gery, owned and operated' by 40 farmers. This pig factory produced over 40,000 hogs.for market per year. Many farmers sold their grain at a very low price there, just to get rid of it. Without this cheap be a profitable enterprise. Joe lived on a ranch of .2400 acres about 100 miles west of Saskatoon; 1400 acres were in wheat and barley , 1000 acres in pasture. This farm had 400 sheep, 65 head of Cattle , and horses,. ' As a' sideline and to make money; the farmer did custom, butchering of. his own livestock. He supplies.the town trade , as well as some; neighbours. The nearest town was 18 miles; and since a small store .and post office hadrecently closed 7 miles• away, all supplies 'and mail had to be picked .up in town. Joe LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Wraith' and family and Mr, and. Mrs. John Wraith of Lucknow attended the Highland Games at Fergus on Sat- urdayand reported a huge crowd and a wonderful program. Visitors with, Mrs. Evelyn Bark- well recently were Mr. and Mrs. Dave Barkwell arid family of Wil- lowdale and Mr.• and Mrs. Lloyd Barkwell and family of Scarborough.

Jeannette and Joe took samples of screenings of Western grain obtained at elevators in' Goderich. out West. None of thefarmers knew that these screenings were being sold in Ontario. An offic - ial of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool would not believe this until he did his own investigating and found it to be true. Jeannette and Joe believe they now have a better understanding of, farming in other parts of Can- ada. With understanding comes unity, and in unity there is , strength.
