To come home from a dayin the shop or office and spend a few minutes feeding the chickens and patting Bossie affectionately on the rump; then to sit on the front porch and watch the sun sink slowly behind the distant hills as the crickets sing and the breeze wafts gently across the green pastures and fields of grain. To be , a part-time ,farmer...paradise on earth! That's not exactly the way it is says Julius Mage who has just earned a Ph. D degree at the University of Waterloo and whose doctoral thesis consisted of examining the part-time farmers of Waterloo county. He tried to find out who the part-timers are, -how many of them there are,, why they farm that way and what they do when they aren't farming. He found that many of them--25.5 percent-- in fact are what he calls "aspir- ing" farmers. Most of these are young people who hope to get into farming on a full-time basis some day; but for now they don't make enough to be able to give up their city jobs. He found that almost a third of them--31.9 percent--are small scale "hobby and miscel- laneous" farmers; 6.4 percent were hobby farmers on a large scale; 21.3 percent were "persis- tence" farmers...former full- timers who are virtually on their way out of agriculture; 12.8 percent were "sporadic" part- timers and 2..1 percent were cases he couldn't neatly categorize. He found the "aspiring" full- time farmers are strongly attached to farming; those who are just hanging on--the "persis- tence" group--have a low attach- merit. Those in the "Sporadic' , group tend to like it, but they also tend to have little success at it..so they move in and out as the pressures dictate. The hobby farmers tend to be highly educated dilettantes..doctors and business executives and so forth., though he found a couple. who were caretakers in large buildings Mr. and Mrs. Irving Elliott and family vacationed with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Fred Elliott for the past week. Mrs. Glenn McKercher was hostess for a shower Monday evening for Miss Linda Sharpin who is a bride to be on September - 7. About 40 ladies attended a miscellaneous shower. Games were played then Debbie Hopper, Mrs. Clark Sharpin and Mrs. Stanley Hopper assisted Linda opening her many lovely gifts. A delicious lunch brought the evening to a close. Mrs. Sharpin invited everyone to "open house" at her home on Monday, August 26th. in the Kitchener-Waterloo community. Many of the hobby farmers were born on farms and like to get back to farm life, at least part-time. On the other hand, most of the people who are actually living in the rural areas are not farmers at all; in Waterloo- county these "ex-urbanites" outnumber the farmers two-to-one. They don't, incidentally, live in old farmhouses; they're more likely to buy just a small acreage and put up a ranch-style bungalow on it. Mage found the part-timers are most prosperous than the full- timers because of their off-the- farm income. On the other hand, their net return for the amount of time they do spend on farm work is much lower than the full- timers. He says it's difficult to tell from driving through the country who is farming part-time and who is full-time. Ty pically, the part- timer has a smaller farm, and specializes in only one product. Dairy farming is less popular among them, partly perhaps . because it takes more time. On the other hand, more than half the hots raised in Waterloo county are on the farms of part-timers. Mage says part-time farmers nonetheless form an important part of the agricultural economy in Ontario. More than 35 per bent of Ontario farmers were part- timers in 1966; they operated more than 25 per cent of the farm area, and sold 21.2 per cent of the agricultural products. Since then the percentages have increased. and the trend is expected to continue. In addition, he notes more and more wives of full-time farmers are going to work in the cities. Now that he's a faculty momber at the University of Guelph, Mage is continuing his studies; he has students working with him on similar projects in Rainy River, Dufferin county, around Bancroft and in Huron county.
