1982 wardens, and the chairmen of planning
board. board of health and development
committees.
Reeve Paul Steckle of Stanley Township,

urban and rural areas. He hopes the by-law,
when passed. will be used by all municipali-
ties.
In other business. council;

departments will look into and recommend
alternatives for the role of development
officer:
Will take no further action in appointing an
energyfauditor. a'-'position held by Mr.

preliminary study to discover the need for a
complete energy audit of Huron County

study showed 211 buildings and 234 vehicles

Gloom and doom food chain
"You ain't seen nothin' yet," said the once-famous Al
Jolson when he appeared on Broadway.
It became a slogan for him. It appears that farmers in
Canada-could adopt the same slogan.
Gloom and doom is being preached from every sector" of
the food chain. Even the usually-staid Ontario Federation of
Agriculture has mustered a lot of verbal ammunition for its
annual presentation to the province.
But their picture is, painted so bleak even the politicians
might shake their heads in disbelief. Premier Davis was told
he should declare "a state of emergency" for agriculture.
"The economic situation is critical because of high
interest rates and low commodity prices but it's even
aggravated more by the deluge of rain we've beentaving."
said Ralph Barrie, president of the OFA.
"Let me repeat, Mr. Premier, there are many desperate,
disillusioned farmers out there. It would be unforgiveable
to avoid addressing their plight." •
The federation told Queen's Park that there are 95,000
farmers in Ontario.
TWenty per cent of them produce 80 per cent of the food,
said Mr. Barrie. Therefore, the bankers association should-
Multiply its.estimates of troubled farmers by 10 to indicate
the number of commercial-scale farmers in dire financial
straits.
This boils down to saying that more than half of Ontario's
biggest producers are in financial trouble. If they go under,
half the province's food supply goes with them.
Maybe. But the federation and the old Ontario Farmers
Union before them have a way of making things seem much
worse than they really are. I don't for one minute believe
that half the food producers in Ontario are in deep, deep
trouble. I &believe. though. that a great many of them are
facing the toughest year since the Great Depression.
And the Band-Aid solutions handed out by the federal
government in the budget this month are not enough.
Major surgery is necessary. Band-Aids are not good
enough.
Even Ontario's deputy minister of agriculture, Duncan
Allan, is pessimistic. He maintains most farmers will only
make enough this coming year to pay interest charges.
Nothing on their investment and nothing for their labor. Net
farm income will drop by at least 20 per cent. he told a group
of farm writers recently.
The present supermarket price war will squeeie farm
incomes even lower and more bankruptcies will result, he
said.
He candidly admitted that this province does not have a
farm policy and there hasn't been one in Ontario for many
years.
Strong words from a civil servant who is working for the
ministry responsible for farm policies.
The fact that is most important in all this gloom and doom
is that some of the province's best, brightest and most
efficient young farmers may be wiped out in the current
financial crunch. These are the people who will be hit the
hardest: the young. innovative fellows who have tried to
modernize, some of them with the best education available
in Canada.
When they are gone-- bankrupt. disillusioned, apathetic.
bitter and bewildered-- who will take over?
Everyone is familiar with the children's song about Old
McDonald. The key word here is 'old.' The average age of
the Canadian farmer hovers around 52 years. If the young
guys go belly up. who will be left to fill the gap?
Even more important, who will be around to fill the
thousands of empty stomachs?
A popular area .of inter-
est in dairy housing, and this
maybe- of greater interest to
the free, stall operation, is the
use of the "Scabbier," to
held roughen slippery con-
crete. Hundreds of dollars are
lost every year by dairymen
who have been faced with the
problem of slippery concrete
• flooring causing permanent
injury to milking cows and
heifers. One alternative is-ter
roughen the surface using a •
wheel-mounted device called
a scabbier, which has a series
of air-driven hammers or bits
with hardened steel, points,.
U.S. reports indicate heat
detection has been easier
because cows are more sure
on their feet and less afraid of
falling.

uted in Canada by: Allan Fyfe
