P. 18 Times-Advocate, December 18, 1969 President emphasizes OFA pressure group In a stinging editorial .published this week, Gordon, Hill, President, of The Ontario Federation of Agricelture, attaeks government ignorance and inaction concerning adjustment in agriculture, He says that too many people regard the word "adjust" .as a stock answer to all problems, "But there are too many questions ignored or unanswered," he asserts. Mr, Hill objects to the fact that no one wonders what could happen if large numbers of farmers are moved out of farming. He stresses that the net effect would be more total production in an already surplus situation. The OFA President underlines his fears by pointing out that there could be fewer farmers, and the land or productive buildings and equipment released by those leaving the industry could be taken over by others with better production skills. Mr. Hill emphasizes that farmers will adjust out of agriculture only if there are more attractive income opportunities elsewhere. "The irresponsible way in which some experts, some politicians, and even some farm leaders treat this subject cannot be tolerated any longer," he argues. In the fight against inflation, the OFA leader states that little attempt is made to act selectively or to help agriculture during the squeeze. He goes on to comment that large unions and corporations are able to force their demands on society, whether there is inflation or not. Mr. Hill concludes that the relative position of the weaker sectors of society becomes much worse because they have to pay the resulting added costs. Guelph meet for directors Directors of colleges and schools of agricultural technology throughout the country were recently guests of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, at the University of Guelph. They met to discuss the problems of providing post-secondary school courses at the subprofessional level to students requiring training in many aspects of agriculture. Information and viewpoints on the various programs offered at the colleges were exchanged. The participants in the two-day meeting examined program content, admission requirements, technician training, field studies, teaching methods, and program duration. Many of the programs presently offered vary considerably. While most colleges provide two-year courses, as do Centralia, Ridgetown, Kemptville, and the Ontario Agricultural College in Ontario, other provinces, like Nova Scotia and Quebec offer a one-year program. On the other hand, vocational schools in British Columbia offer two sessions of six months each. The programs generally include courses in agribusiness, farm equipment, crop and animal sciences, farm management, food technology and processing, fertilizers, commercial horticulture, and veterinary laboratory work. However, most colleges offer courses in some unusual areas - farrier science and herdsman techniques are two examples. It is hoped that meetings such as this will help to improve and • co-ordinate the agricultural education being offered at this level in Canada. The next meeting of the directors will take place November 16 and 17, 1970, in Manitoba. Poultry demand on the increase The demand for poultry meat will probably increase annually by 3.3% to 1980. This increase can be attributed to population growth, increased incomes, and other meat prices. Professor E. C. Hunt, Department of Poultry Science, Ontario Agricultural College, says that consumption of poultry meat has been increasing at the rate of 5.6% each year since the second World War. "Consumption of poultry meat has far surpassed the 1.3% rise in total per capita meat consumption," says Professor Hunt. After the war the bulk of poultry meat consumed was of the heavy roasting type. With the technical revolution in the breeding and the feeding of poultry, broiler chicken consumption rose rapidly. Since the early 1960's a similar trend in turkey broilers has taken place. I
