They agreed to form a com-
mittee to investigate the feasi-
bility of a financial counselling
Service. No existing organization
specializes in counselling people
in debt, although many family
problems are connected with
money.
Amy Cousineau, from the
department of family services in
Guelph, said it would cost about
$25,000 to establish the agency.
She said 40 per cent of_ the
funding would have to be raised
locally before provincial grants
would cover the rest.
Ms. Cousineau said many

Proper field drying of high
quality early cut hay is a major
problem for Ontario farmers. This
has prompted interest in the use
of acids to preserve hay baled at
'higher, moisture levels.
According to Jack Rodenburg,
dairy cattle specialist for the
Ontario Ministry, of Agriculture
and Food, research results sug-,
gest this may not be practical with
the products currently available.'
Mr. Rodenburg says an ap:
plication rate of 20 pounds of pure
propionic acid per ton , of 30
percent moisture hay or 10
pounds per ton of 25 percent
moisture hay is required to
prevent spoilage and heating.
Although adding acid , at this
rate is effective, it is costly,

"When they get married they
think they should have everything
their parents have, but their
parent& had to work for 30 years
to get theirs."
Ted. Lang, a representative for
the Ontario Association of Credit
COunselling Services, said some
people falling "into debt are
reluctant to ask for help.
"it's In embarrassing situation
to have to go and tell someone
you don't know how to budget."
— He said the high-cost of such
things as cars and housing make
it almost impossible for people to
live -debt free.
Lang.said requests for help to
the London Credit Counselling
Agency alone have doubled in the
first quarter of the' year over the
previous quarter.
He said the number of cash
loanS have risen in the last 18
months, "and you really begin to
wonder if the family is beginning
to borrow just to keep their style
of living...and if this is the case
some people better take another
look at themselves."

Mr. Rodenburg adds that one
product containing 10, percent
propionic acid is advertised for
use on 25 percent moisture hay at
two pounds per ton.
"This application rate adds
acid at 1/50th the rate recom-
mended by almost all of the
research work."
Good management of the hay
clop through . early cutting,
minimal raking and baling at 15 to
18 percent moisture is the most
practical way to ensure good
quality.
Farmers who wish to reduce
field drying time should consider
harvesting the hay crop at 55 to 65
percent moisture hay silage.
