"However, it appears that restrictive measures alone do not reduce the accident rate. The importance of safety legislation is to provide a more uniform educational program which can reduce the number and severity of farm accidents." As an example of such legislation, Mr. Wright used the "slow moving vehicle sign, mandatory in a number of provinces, In Ontario, its use has not reduced car-tractor ac- cidents. It has, however, reduced the severity of these accidents. Each year, there are ap- proximately 275 car-tractor ay MRS, STAN PR ESZCATOR Mrs. Lee Helmkay and Mrs. Cliff Miles of London spent last Thursday with Mrs. Jack Dye.

Home care program near "Concern for farm safety has lagged behind industrial safety concerns in most of the countries of the world," says Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Speaking at the 47th annual meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, north atlantic region, held recently at the University of Guelph, Mr. Wright pointed out that in 1960, the death rate due to farm ac- cidents was 27 per 100,000 farm population. This figure was arrived as a result of a com- prehensive survey carried out by the department to see where farm accidents occur. The motor vehicle death rate was 26 per 100,000. "Since we all agree our highway fatalities are too high, we must concede that our farm accident rate is also too high, said Mr. Wright. One way to reduce farm fatalities is to introduce safety legislation, suggested Mr. 2 — FARMALL SUPER Cs with cultivators 2 — FARMALL Cs with cultivators FARMALL 400 ALLIS CHALMERS 017 IHC 414 with loader IHC 606 Gas IHC 606 Diesel FARMALL 656 Gas FARMALL 656 Diesel CASE 730 Gas OLIVER 880 Diesel M-M U302 Gas COCKSHUTT 411 Gas IHC 460 Gas COCKSHUTT 550 Gas, high arch NEW IDEA 2-row picker-sheller-husker N • T.

You can do it with instant skim milk powder. One pound of instant makes four quarts of liquid skim milk for a cost of about 15 cents per quart. When you compare this to 36 cents per quart for fresh whole milk, it means a 58 per cent saving. Most important, for the nutrition conscious mother, liquid instant has the go-power milk sugars and go-power body building proteins of regular milk. It is fortified with extra vitamins A and D for growing good health. No need to worry about the lower fat content. For growing youngsters, add butter, margarine or peanut butter to a meal. Are beefmen not farmers? There have been recent renewed attempts on the part of tax assessors of the Department of National Revenue and Taxation to establish that a cattle feeder or feedlot operator is not a farmer, reports G.W. Hedley, Secretary-Manager of the Ontario Beef Improvement Association. "This is a most serious situation", continues Mr. Hedley, "for if this interpretation is upheld farmers who feed cattle will lose the five year averaging provisions that are so essential in farming. We believe this in- terpretation is completely un- justified and are appealing to the proper authorities for clarification that a cattle feeder is a farmer". The assessors have interpreted that the phrase "livestock raising" in the Income Tax Act definition of farming refers only to the breeding operation in so far as livestock production is con- cerned. This narrow definition excludes such established far- ming operations as the feeding of cattle and hogs, There is no valid basis for this restrictive and arbitrary definition since the cattle and hog feeders are ex- posed to at least the same degree, to the vagaries of climate, markets and the agricultural economy as are other types of livestock operations. At this time at least one farmer in the Ottawa Valley has received an assessment for further tax from the federal department on the basis that he has used the averaging provision. This far- mer has- been forced to post a bond in the amount of the assessment before he will even be granted an appeal hearing to establish his case. The Ontario Beef Improvement Association will attempt to clarify once and for all that a cattle feeder is a farmer. A woman was mailing a bible to a friend when the postal clerk examined the heavy package and asked if it contained anything breakable. "Nothing but the Ten Commandments," was the reply. The annual Cann reunion was held in Queen's Park, Stratford September 5. There were 45 in sttendence from Exeter, St. Marys, Guelph, Bayfield, Ancaster, London and Kingston. The sports program was conducted by Mrs. Pearl Ostler and Mrs. Susan Cann. After supper, Mrs. Mary Blanchard, the 1971 president was in charge of the selection of officers for 1972, The newly elected were president, Mrs. Lynda Van Dorselaer; vice- president, Pearl Bower; secretary, Chris Cann and treasurer, Stephen Cann; sports committee, Doug Cann, Gary Blanchard, Jane Ostler and Janet Ostler. Races were won by Jeff Stevenson, Jo-Ann Ostler, Annette Cann, Doug Cann, Gary Blanchard, Stephen and Chris Cann. The throw-ball game was won by Karen Blanchard and Gregory Cann; orange race won by Doug Cann and Bruce Cann; the bean contest by George Stevenson, and the finding articles by Jean Stevenson's team. The oldest person was Sylvanus Cann Bayfield (84) and the youngest was Michele Rockola, Guelph, one month. The Huron County Home Care program seems closer now to reality than ever before. It was learned this week that the Huron County Health Unit is advertising for a nursing ad- ministrator and a clerk-typist for the pilot project'is slated to begin this fall, According to Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank Mills, the service will initially involve the towns of Seaforth and Clinton and the townships of McKillop, Tuckersmith and Hullett. Offices will be located in Seaforth Community Hospital, he said. The program will be un- dertaken on a three-month basis and if everything progresses favorably, the service will be expanded to encompass the entire county. "We anticipate that it will spread to the whole county within a year," stated Dr. Mills. The first class of certified visiting homemakers is slated to graduate this month from a course being offered in Clinton. Several area people are par- ticipating in this course. Plow match plans complete At a directors meeting of the Huron Plowmen's Association held in McKillop Municipal Office, arrangements were completed for holding the 1971 Plowing Match on October 9 on the farm of Jamieson Ribey, Lot 5, Con. 9, Colborne Township. Arrangements were also made to hold a coaching day on Friday afternoon October 8 at the same farm, when expert plowmen will be on hand to advise contestants on the fine points of plowing. Here are 4 good reasons why: • First, when you want shelled corn, you want to be able to quickly adjust the shell- ing mechanism to field and moisture condi- tions. The Uni-Sheller's adjustments are simple and easy to make. • Next, maintenance. The cage mechanism of a Uni-Sheller is unbelievably simple. • Another reason: minimum damage by rocks. • And finally, extra long life. The big Uni-Sheller can be fitted with your choice of cornheads . 2, 3 or 4-row wide, 3 or 4-row narrow. Its 75-bushel grain bin can be fitted with the optional Uni-Bin Stretcher rear transfer auger. This moves grain to the trailing wagon as you're moving through the field. Stop only to change wagons! You can switch to Uni-Picker, Combine, Forage Harvester, Tool Carrier or Rotary Snow Plow in about an hour's time . „ thanks to Uni's unique interchangeable Power Unit. • Uni-System just plain makes more sense! NEW IDEA FA Pm EQUIPMENT Special fees for farm trucks The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has recommended to the provincial government for several years the establishment of a separate category and license fee schedule for farm trucks. This category would apply only to trucks used by farmers for their own use. Trucks for hire would not be eligible. OFA President Gordon Hill said Friday that "information from DBS states farm trucks are empty 66 per cent of the time, The average annual mileage is 3,700 miles and estimated capacity utilization is 24,9 per cent., Therefore," he continued, "OFA believes farmers should pay only 25 per cent of the rate charged trucks for hire which are fully loaded a larger portion of the time and are in constant "The0FAasks that the benefits apply to a license for gross weights of over 5,000 pounds", Mr. Hill said, "so that small trucks used mainly for tran- sportation are not included. "Faraters in B.C„ Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia enjoy separate category and rate. Without it Ontario fartners have a com- petitive disadvantage," stated Mr. Bill, Lucan Farm Equipment LUCAN, ONTARIO
