Funny: For two or three months, the mail trickles in, one `two Jotters a week; then, suddenly, all kinds of letters rrive. From Madoc: "It seems to me that too many farmers are production-oriented and work from. daylight to dusk ' to produce leaving someone else to market their products.. . AS I see it, there is not enough contact between the farmer' andOntario Federation of Agriculture executive and this has been the case since 1940—The recent cutback on Milk production. has made many farmers sore on all farm or- ganizations. Beef men are critical of the Ontario Cattle- men's AsSociation and I think they are justified and I get told off. "But the very people doing the most complaining, never turn up at a meeting and many who come to a meeting never stand up and say a word.- Another from Madoc: "My husband and I are dairy farmers and my husband has ,a job off the farm. We are both • city born and bought the farm five years ago and went into dairying three years ago when the government was en- couraging people into dairying. "We caught on well to this farming business and the government allowed him to expand his operation a year ago. like so many others did and then the bottom fell out of dairying. "My husband was planning to quit his off-the-farm job last spring but now must stay on in order to make ends meet here. "This has been, and still is a real experience. Be- ing from the city, we never . knew the work involVed in farming, especially when you are tied down to milk tows. We are both in our thirties and I think like so many others, we just took farthers for granted. I really don't think any- one•from the city realizes the work and worry to farming.

You have probably tried(earlyr varieties and been disappointed with the results and trierfihe full season varieties and ended up with high yield and a lso high moisture. With the high cost of fuel the high moisture level of full maturing varieties reduces your potential of high profit. Over the years Funk research has developed high yielding, fast drying varieties for all maturing ranges, so it is no longer necessary to sacrifice yield or pay the penalty of excessive moisture. We have not eliminated the drying cost, but we can reduce it and you can increase y6ur prof it per acre. If you have a small or large corn acreage, grow corn for grain or silage,. select Funk's G Hybrids for high yield, strong stand and tastary down. It is recommended that you use 2 or 3 different maturing Funk's G Hybrid's for best performance.

Finally, another interesting epistle from. of all places. Burlington. certainly not a farming area these days. 1'1) try to condense the letter little. , The writers live in an apartment. They found a newspaper that was supposed to have been put in the incinerator but that city gadget wasn't working and they read a recent column on the troubles of travelling in Quebec. "Your article was the truest thing I have read "for a long time. Many years ago when Quebec was just another prov- ince of Canada, my husband and I drove to the Saguenay, missed the ( ferry ) boat and drove up thipugh, Chicouti- mi... "We tried our feeble French but you could feel a hostili- ty which you couldn't believe. (Oh yes. I would.) "We returned to Quebec city with the same results. We tried our best to communicate but it was impossible ... "A friend of ours opened a business in Montreal building boats. The priest visited him and asked what. he was pay- ing his. parishioners for labor. It was, the same rate he had been paying in Ontario. The priest answered by saying that his people were not in the habit of receiving such enormous wages and might get ideas, but if our friend had money to spend. he would be glad to look after it for the church:" No comment on the last paragraph, But I got into a great argument with a friend of mine who maintains that if Quebec separates from Canada, the rest of Canada will be swallowed up economically by the Ex- cited States so fast that it'will make all white-Anglo-Saxon-: Protestants' noses bleed. Quebec, he maintains, can go it alone because it is rich in naturn1 resources:: but the rest of Canada is economical- ly and geographiCally too close to the U.S.A4 to exist. "It is Quebec that holds Canada' tog (her," he said. "This country is unique because of Quebec. Without Quebec, we'll just be a branch plant of the States.': Just another opinion.
