THIS SPECIAL OFFER EXPIRES ON FEBRUARY 28TH
At a farmers meeting 1
attended the farmers were asked
to fill out a questionaire stating,
among, other things. what the
value of their farm, equipment
and livestock is. Another ques-
tion asked their avereage income
'rover the' last five years. The
result was rather shocking.
Eighty per cent had a value of
between $100,000 and $300,000
invested. The ificome from this
investment was less than $10,009
average for seventy per cent of
the people present. If one
compares this with the $13,000
income per year that the postmen
are asking, one must disk oneself:
"what am I doing farming? Why
not take a job from eight to five
that requires no investment, and
in many cases no brains, and sell
the bloody farm?" Well, 'guess
you know the answer. We don't
work for the money alone. aNe
like to be our own boss. We like„,
to make our own decisions and
where else can one expect to do
this better than on the farm, WE
are nuts, but we are by and large,
contented nuts. So be it.
A story in MacLean's Magazine
bewailed'the fact that so much
grain is fed to livestock. It is
largely a good article, even if the
Agri-notes
(By Adrian Vos)
writer's facts about the amount of
grain needed to produce a pound
of meat are way off.base,'!. If his
figures,: were accurate, ' lib'' -one
pound of meat would be pr duced
because the price would be so
high that only the very rich could
afford to buy it. His concern
about the underfed people of the
world I share.
However, before v.e as farmers
should feel guilty about pro-
ducing meat and consumers for
buying it, we should get our
priorities right. Enormous
amounts of number one wheat,
barley and corn arc used to
produce gin, beer and whiskey,
while the grain used for livestock
feeding is lower grade and not
usually used for food. •-'""
After society cuts out the use of
alcholic drinks and stops eating
pastry, then I would feel guilty if
there is a shortage of grain. If our
western society would lift import
restrictions on products of the
poorer world and pay them a
reasonable price for their product
-they' would be able to buy our
grain at a reasonable price, or
better still, they could afford to
irrigate their crops and put on
enough fertilizer, so they could
grow their o'wn crops. ,

Bored lunch boxers and
"brown baggers" and other
noontime eaters agree that the
familiar lunch routine can use
some shaking up. To many. this
could mean enjoying a "non-
sandwich" lunch occasionally,
The challenge in planning' the
"non-sandWich" lunch is to pro-
vide a well-balanced meal that
will contain the protein, minerals
and vitamins necessary for good
nutrition.
Here are ideas for' three
non-sandwich lunches. They
.provide"all the needed nutrients
and taste great too.
Tack a container with salad
makings such us, shredded lettuce
or cabbage. a hard-boiled egg. a
slice of cold meat and a wedge of
cheese. Top it off with a few
green onions, a green pepper ring
and a small whole tomato. Carry
the salad dressing in a small spice
bottle. Include a fresh bun or
fingers of cold toast spread with
processed cheese. Round out the
lunch with grapes or a pear and
handful of peanuts. Bring along a
thermos of milk or buy a small
carton.
Pack a selection of thinly sliced
cold meats - luncheon meat. cold
chicken and beef, for example.
Wrap the slice's of meat around
wedges of cheese, celer t ks or
even shredded let . You can
also dip these meal rolls into a
relish or sauce brought in a little
jar. Add a few fruit tarts, a
. thermos of cream soup, and a
bottle of fruit juice.
Bring along a wide-mouthed
thermos filled with chowder,
stew, chili or baked beans. Add a
buttered bun or piece of bread, a
wedge lettuce and carrot sticks.
Complete the lunch with an apple
gild' a small carton of. milk or
jUiCe.
It might also be a good idea to
inetude `goodipi" in the .1inch.
