Agricultural tidbits
WITH ADRIAN VOS
What would we do if it came to pass that most of our milk
and milk products would have to be imported? How much
would we have to pay then for milk? Silly question? Not so
very silly as it might appear at first. Thousands of milk
producers are leaving this part of farming every year. Up to
now, much has been salvaged by the greater efficiency of the
producer, but how long will that be possible? Mr. Pigeon,
president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada said recently that
young men in his area are going to the factories and make
from $175 to $200 per week, "Why", he asks, "should a
,young man invest about $200,000 in a farm, work twice as
long and gets less money?" The dairy man has to receive a
better income or sooner than you think we will have to pay
import prices.

David Lewis' accusations against food retailers making
unjustified high profits are echoed by America's Agriculture
Secretary Earl Butz. "Prices of major farm commodities
have dropped 20 to 40 percent since January and February.
It is high time that these lower farm prices show up more
fully in lower retail store prices. While food prices at stores
have levelled off some, margins are still higher than nor-
mal." These are harsh words from the USA's highest
agricultural official.
Food prices dropped some, if not in the proportion of farm
prices. April food costs in the house dropped a fraction,
while food prices at the farm dropped like a brick. A price
freeze, as advocated by the Conservatives, would freeze my
price at the farm to bring me right into bankruptcy. It is in-
teresting to note that the overall food cost went up. This is
because the cost of eating out increased by almost two per-
cent. This hoWever is not a true, food cost, but a service cost.
Statistics Canada rates it as a food cost.
* * *
Mrs. Plumptre, of the Food Prices Review Board, said
that, "Farm Incomes are up 89 percent, but as recently as
three years ago, farmers were not getting any return on
labour and investment, and even today, dairy farmers are
not always getting a return, This is why the cost of dairy
produce is going up."

The Clinton Ladies Rifle

Kincardine for two years and
last year the two Clubs decided
to purchase a trophy to be
presented to the Club with the

Government conducted public
hearings in Southwestern On-
tario, to ascertain the need and
desirability of renewed rail
passenger service. The verdict,
both from = the participating
M.P,'s and the many interested
citizens who attended was that
all the rail passenger service
eliminated in Nov. 1970, should
be re-instated immediately.
This recommendation from
.the worthy M.P„'s, was tabled in
the House of Commons in June,
1972. The Minister of Tran-
sport at that time did ab-
solutely nothing, nor did the
Government see fit to act.
Parliament then was dissolved,
and the October 1972 election
followed. Since that time, the
next Minister of Transport has
done nothing but hedge, and
promise surveys on the
situation.
Since that time also we have
with us the deepening energy
crisis, rising gasoline prices,
worsening conditions of
crowded highways, increasing
highway fatalities, etc. etc.
Robert Stanfield has promised
to restore rail service, at least
for a trial period, if he were in
a position to do sib. David
Lewis also has expressed con-
cern and sympathy with our
situation, both for himself and
the N.D.P.
Now with another Federal
election 'in the offing, it is our
right, and the proper time to
ask every candidate who is run-
ning in the seven or eight
ridings in this area, as to what
ammunition companies who set
the scores to be obtained in
four different shooting
positions and supply the targets
and awards free of charge.
The highest award possible
from one company is the Gold
Expert Shield which is ob-
tained by shooting 60 targets
with scores of 100 each in three
positions. One lucky Kincar-
dine member has received her
Gold Expert after two years of
hard work. Two members of
the Kincardine Club and two
from the Clinton Club have ob-
tained the Silver Expert Shield
which has to have a minimum
score of 5850 out of a possible
score of 6000.
So with competition like this
around, you men better get
some practice in before the next
Turkey Shoot.
his own, and his party's stand
and intentions are, with regard
to this lack of public transpor-
tation in our part of Ontario.
We live in a Province that
contributes over one-half of the
taxes sent to the Federal
treasury, and in the richest half
of Ontario at that, yet the
Railway is allowed to renege on
the agreement made with our
forefathers in days past, to
provide perpetual passenger
service in exchange for land
and money received.
Let us make sure our Federal
candidates know our rights,
and our stand on this very im-
portant issue.
