The Ontario Safety League claims the big hazard is still a dangerous conflict between the snowmobiler and motor vehicle traffic on public thoroughfares, In the first month of the current season more snowmobilers have met their death on roadways in collision with motor vehicles than the total of such fatalities which occurred in the 1969-70 season. Any snowmobiler who takes his machine onto a heavily travelled public thoroughfare faces a double hazard—the dangerous proximity of fast-moving motor vehicles and the difficulty of controlling his machine on the hard-packed and often icy surface. Under such conditions it is impossible to turn or stop a snowmobile quickly, a fact which is tragically demonstrated by the number of fatalities incurred by these machines running into parked St-fli5PING CIVESTOCK TO UNION STOCK YARDS TORONTO? . . All loads fully insured. Trucking every Monday. CAMPBELL McKIN LEY PH. ZURICH 262-5430 automobiles. The operation of snowmobiles on King's Highways in. Ontario is well defined in the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act, 1968. Where snowmobile travel on such roadways is legalized, the operator must keep his snowmobile off the travelled portion and as far away from the roadway as is practicable under the circumstances. Unfortunately, very little has been done to control the use of snowmobiles on township and county roads where most of the fatal accidents are taking place. The Ontario. Safety League points out that this is the responsibility of municipal governments who must study their respective problems and create by-laws to restrict the use of snowmobiles on public thoroughfares where there is a dangerous conflict between these machines and motor vehicle traffic. If this is not done, the needless tragedies will continue to mount in numbers. Here are two actual road signs, reported by the Ontario, Safety League: NO U-ALL TURN. In Atlanta Georgia. SLOW. NO HOSPITAL. At the outskirts of a small town in Oklahoma. "If society wishes to develop rail transport systems which, like highways, are designed primarily to fulfil social needs rather than generate financial return, they should not expect the railways to shoulder the' financial burden," a Canadian National official said in a speech in Chatham recently. R. M. Veenis, manager, CN's Southern Ontario Area, said such a financial obligation would, contrary to recommendations of the McPherson Royal Commission on Transportation, make it difficult for railways to compete equally with other modes of freight transport and thus reduce the efficiency of Canada's overall transport system. Mr. Veenis told the Chatham Kiwanis Club that asking railways to make up passenger losses from freight revenues would single out industry to pay the cost rather than society as a whole. He added that if freight rates were increased to absorb passenger losses, it would lead to higher prices for goods in both Canada's domestic consumer and export markets. "Canadian National is genuinely interested in operating passenger trains," he said, "and believes there is a future for the passenger train as self-sustaining commercial operation, particularly in the medium range, high-population- density corridors such as exist between Quebec City and Windsor." High density population provides a sufficiently large potential travel market to cover the high costs of train operations; and medium range distances — from 250 to '500 miles — allow us to compete favorably with the trip times offered by airlines, he said. Where CN cannot operate passenger trains on a self-sustaining basis, Mr. Veenis added, it will seek a Canadian Transport Commission ruling on whether or not the service should be discontinued. "And where it is decided the service should be retained, it shall seek financial assistance to cover part of its losses." Mr. Veenis pointed out that the railways cannot apply directly for general subsidies on their uneconomic services, but must apply first to the Canadian Transport Commission for discontinuance of particular services. "If the commission decides there is a financial loss on the operation — and I must stress that in such cases the commission detertnines the railways — then it will in all likelihood call a public hearing to determine whether or not the losing operation ought to be retained in the public interest and whether or not, and to what degree, it ought to be subsidized," Mr. Veenis said the difficulty in using history to justify retention of many passenger services is that people forget there are many more transportation options now than in 1870 and that railways were not originally established just to provide passenger service. Such modes as the automobile — which is used for some 80 per cent of intercity travel in Canada and is the railway's primary competitor — were non-existent in 1870. And it was the railways' freight service, not the passenger service, which allowed frontier areas of Canada to develop or sustain their economies, he said, People who cite the rail networks of Europe and Asia as shining examples of national transport systems forget that Canada has developed a more broadly-based transport system with more transport options, he said. "Not everyone realizes that despite operating' in a much smaller country with a larger population, with fewer automobiles per capita, and with a less extensive highway system, the Japanese rail network still loses over a million dollars a day.” Mr, Veenis also noted that "airport facilities are provided for aeroplanes and highways are provided for automobiles at something less than the direct cost to the user." "The railways, on the other hand, not only must provide all their own facilities, but must pay the taxes on them. Canadian National alone paid a total of something like $46-million in taxes in 1969 — a fact which is not generally recognized by the public." SKIROULE LOWERS POWER CEILING AS SAFETY CONCESSION Rejean Houle, president, of Skiroule Limited, announced recently that his company, a leading international manufacturer of snowmobiles, is reducing the power of its 1970/71 line. A voluntary measure, and a pioneer one in an industry which has often emphasized power at the expense of other important considerations, this forward step will, it is hoped, encourage the sane and safe use of these popular vehicles. This response to widespread expressions of growing concern regarding snowmobile safety will be reflected in Skiroule's 1970/71 production, all of which will range from 250 cc to 440 cc, compared to last year's big 793 cc machine. These new machines will be quite fast enough and powerful enough for all ordinary purposes.

CANADIAN AGRICULTURE Canada's agricultural industry has been registering relatively large productivity gains during the past 20 years mainly because it is substituting capital investments for labor, especially farm operator and family labor Although this trend will likely continue, the indsutry's largest productivity gains will probably come from other changes in the future. So says I. F. Furniss in an article appearing in the December issue of Canadian Farm Economics. Mr. Furniss is a member of the research staff of the Canada Department of Agriculture's Economics Branch WHAT PROGRESS SYNDICATES Farm syndicate loan legislation was introduced in Canada six years ago so that groups of three or more farmers could form a syndicate to borrow money to buy equipment or construct buildings for their mutual use. This plan helps farmers to avoid the high costs associated with individual purchase and ownership. By the end of 1970, loans valued at $9,399,667 had been made under the provisions of the Farm Syndicates Credit Act. These loans, which number 894, were made to 648 syndicates comprising 2,577 farmer members. INCREASE IN FATS AND OILS PRODUCTION FORECAST World production of oils and fats in 1971 is forecast at a record 41 million metric, tons. This volume represents an increase of four per cent over a year earlier and would be the largest annual increase since 1964, when production rose 5.5 per cent. The annual rate of increase for the previous decade, 1961-70, was three per cent. U.S. production may rise only slightly this year, about one per cent, compared to a 2.3 per cent advance in 1970 from a year earlier. U.S. output will continue to account for about one-forth of the world production of fats and oils. No great changes are expected this year in production of animal fats. The forecast 12.8 million tons results from slight increases in lard and tallow and grease production being virtually offset by slight decreases in butter. Lard production increased slightly in 1970 and will likely advance further in 1971 as the U.S. which accounts for over 20 per cent of the world total expects moderate gains as a result of increased hog slaughter. Also, accelerated hog slaughter in Western Europe and the Soviet Union will boost world output. ONTARIO HOG OUTPUT UP 10 PER CENT IN 1970 Ontario hog gradings in 1970 totalled 2,933,184, up 10.6 per cent from a year earlier. This was 33.9 per cent of the National total. Twenty-seven counties showed an increase in marketings over 1969 and a similar number showed a decrease. Perth and Waterloo continued to be largest hog producing counties. Perth marketed 338,152 hogs in 1970, up 14.5 per cent from a year earlier and Waterloo produced 283,088 hogs, a drop of 2.0 per cent from 1969. Perth Counties output is equal to total production in the three Maritime provinces. In 1970 Canadian hog marketings were 15.6 per cent higher than a year earlier. All provinces recorded increases ranging from a high of 56.8 per cent in Saskatchewan to a modest 1.4 per cent increase in Quebec, second largest producing province. In Alberta, the third largest producer, output increased 14.5 per cent in 1970. Saskatchewan recorded the largest increase in terms of numbers, up about 314,000 hogs over 1969 compared to an increase of about 281,000 hogs in Ontario. U.S. MEATVOCKS UP Cold storage holdings of meat in the U.S. on January 1 totalled 759 million pounds, up 19 per cent from a year earlier. Pork stocks totalled 319 million pounds, accounting for most of the increase. Beef stocks were down 6 per cent from a year ago. In the U.S. substantial increases are expected in pork output through next summer as the pig crop for the second half of 1970 was 18 per cent above the corresponding period a year earlier. INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE STRESSES RURAL CHANGES Personal development and the concerns and needs of rural Ontario will be two of many topics discussed at a seminar of the Rural Learning Association, February 14 — 20, 1971. The seminar will be held with the co-operation of the Department of the Secretary of State, the Department of the Provincial Secretary and Citizenship and various government and voluntary agencies, at Geneva Park near Orillia, Ontario. The purpose of the seminar is to assist people of different cultural backgrounds to appreciate and participate in the social, cultural and economic changes taking place in rural Ontario. Various talks, films and discussion groups are scheduled, in both French and English. Adults, 18 years and over, who live in a rural community and who represent various cultural origins, are eligible to attend. Further information may be obtained from: Rural Learning Association 30 Bloor Street West, Suite 307, Toronto 189, Ontario. TAILORING POTATOES TO THE MARKET Growing potatoes is becoming a highly-specialized business, say scientists R. P. White and D. C. Munro of the Canada Agriculture Research Station at Charlottetown, P.E.I. In fact, Canadian farmers are growing different varieties and using different cultural techniques to tailor their potatoes to particular uses and markets. For example, one set of varieties and production techniques is used to grow potatoes for the fresh market, and another set of varieties and production techniques is used to grow potatoes for the processing industry. FOOTS iN POULTRY RATIONS Dr. E. E. Gardiner, poultry nutritionist at the Canada Agriculture Research Station at Lethbridge, Alta., has found a simple way to help poultry producers economize and, at the same time, use an oilseed by-product eliminating one source of pollution by fatty waste. He takes the fatty waste materials (called foots) removed in the processing of high-quality edible rapeseed oil and feeds them to poultry. He has found foots to be an excellent source of energy. HOG NUMBERS CONTINUE LARGE The D.B.S. estimates Canada's hog population last December 1 at 7,701,000, 19 per cent above the same date in 1969. Western numbers were up 32 per cent, while the East recorded an eight per cent gain over a year ago. In the under six-month category numbers increased 18 per cent to 5,834,000 head at December 1, 9170. The increases in the East and West were eight per cent and 31 per cent respectively. The fall pig crop, June-November 1970, is estimated'at 6,049,000, 18 per cent above the corresponding period a year earlier. The Western Canada fall pig crop totalled 2,932,000, up 32 per cent and the East recorded an eight per cent increase over a year ago. All provinces recorded increases in the fall pig crop with the largest percentage increases occurring in the West as Saskatchewan jumped 48 per cent; Manitoba, up 30 per cent; British Columbia increased 33 per cent and Alberta rose 24 per cent. Breaking the fall pig crop down it is noted farrowings in the June-August '70 quarter were up 32 per cent in the West and seven per cent in the East for a national increase of 18 per cent. For the September-November 70 quarter farrowings were 17 per cent above a year earlier with the Bast up seven per cent and the West up 31 per cent. Looking ahead, the D.B.S. 'reports farrowings in the December-May '71 period (spring pig crop) are expected to be three per cent above a year earlier. Increases of five per cent in the West and only one per cent in the Bast are expected. a extent of the actual loss, not the
