Baron 1032 Ontario St., ,Stratford, Ont. N5A 6Z3 Tel,: 271-5650 -7.•7. 're 7-1,. A spokesman for the Ontario Beef Improvement Association predicted a worldwide beef surplus during the next two to four years. Increased numbers of calves from expanded herds are beginning to reach the market, said Graeme Hedley, the association's secretary-mana- ger. But an imminent threat to cattle producers, said Mr. Hedley, is the possibility that United States cattle — banned for export because they had DES in their system may once again be permitted to enter the Canadian market, provided they are cer- tified as being free of the hor- mone by a U.S. government in- spector. Dave Murray, a provincial agriculture ministry represen- tative at Arthur, said the threat of U.S. cattle hitting the Canadian market coupled with unusually heavy cattle runs at Ontario stockyards may foreshadow a bleak year for the industry. Mr. Murray said prices at the Saskatchewan Wheatpool stockyards in Talbotville were down substantially during the weekend. "The price decrease was caused by the large number of cattle brought in. Because of it, cattlemen are starting to panic here." Mr. Hedley said the average weekly run of slaughter cattle at the Toronto public stockyards during 1973 was 6,124 head, By comparison 10,450 head were traded last week, 9,120 the week before and 8,920 the previous week, he said. The over-all average for the last seven weeks at Toronto is 8,752 compared with an average Predict beef surplus within next two years By ADRIAN VOS At a. hearing about a proposed zOning change in Huron county, the county planner revealed a concept that we are conditioned to. This concept is that agriculture can be rolled back but residential development can't, When a farm-group stated that agricultural expansion on some of the best farmland in Canada, the land West of high- way 21, North of Goderich, would be severely curtailed if recreational development is allowed, the planner stated that it was curtailed already, because residences have been built previously too close to livestock buildings. In the planners view this means that a wedge is in and the developers can go ahead_ and gobble up all of it. No thought is given to the possibility of putting the bulldozer to those houses. Those houses represent a value of maybe $30,004 while the affected farms will be between $100,000 and $300,000. That we won't be able to feed the people who live in those houses in the next generation, if they sit right on top of our bread basket, is apparently not thought of. It is about time that non-farm -consumers join the farmer in the fight for preserving our food producing land, for their children. Will be the ones to be hurt first, We commend the townships around Chatham who resist expansion, of the city en the grounds that this will be at the expense of good land. If a com- munity has a good balance of industry and residences there is now reason that it should grow, except for the false idea that a larger city will be more itu- perta.nt, and with it the town of- ficials. A prime example of a growth city is Sarnia. The Petrosar plant could be built in Alberta on less valuable land. It may cost more to ship the finished product to market, but this will be more than offset by the lower future cost of shipping imported food to market. Another example of irresponsible waste of good food producing land is in the Nan- ticoke area where the Ontario government designates more than 20,000 acres of good far- mland to industrial and residential development. Couple returns to Woodham By MISS JEAN COPELAND Mrs. Ida Knox of St. Marys visited Saturday evening with Rhea Mills.

All helped Michael Gartenburg celebrate his fourth birthday. of 8,000 head during the same period in 1973, Mr. Hedley said. The pattern was roughly the same for the 65 to 70 auction sales cross the province. U.S. cattle are restricted from the Canadian market because of a restriction on the growth stimulant DES. However, the Canadian government spelled out standards April 9 by which US producers could send their cattle to Canadian markets. The result, Hedley said, will be to force the prices to Canadian producers down. U.S. producers will not raise their prices as a result of being able to once again export their cattle, "Cattlemen here now receive between $47 and $49 per hun- dredweight," Hedley said. "If American cattle get into Toronto, it will sell for about $36. Anniversary is celebrated By MRS.
