A very Royal lady, Jack and Fred Armstrong's Huronia Farms MCM Etta won the Grand Championship in
the Royal International Jersey Futurity at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto recently, an award that carries
a cash prize of $1,000 as well as a trophy and banner. The three-year-old cow has also just come back from
competition at the continent's largest Jersey Show, the American International Livestock Exposition at
Louisville, Kentucky, where she helped win the State Herd title for Ontario Jerseys. - Photo by Patty

NFU says Canada should
reject free trade pact
The national Farmers Union
made a submission to the Standing
Committee on External Affairs and
International Trade on the subject
of the Canada/U.S. Free Trade
agreement.
Ontario Region 3 Co-ordinator
Raye-Anne Briscoe says she be
lieves Canada should cut and run
from the proposed Canada/U.S.
Free Trade agreement before the
United States makes a basket case
of us. Briscoe made these com
ments immediately after appear
ing along with N.F.U. President
Wayne Easter and Executive
Director Stuart Theisson at the
Standing committee on Exeternal
Affairs and International Trade.
Briscoe was commenting on a
recent revelation that Washington
has continued to offer highly
subsidized deals on millions of
tonnes of wheat, oilseeds and milk
to the Soviet Union, China and
India even after the conclusion of
the Can/US agreement which
undertakes that “both sides
higher.
There were 963 cattle and 604
pigs on offer.
Choice exotic steers sold from
$88 to $92 with sales to $99.50;
good steers ranged from $84 to $87.
A red steer consigned by Maple
agreed that the primary goal is the
elimination of all subisidies which
distort agricultural trade”.
The Ontario Co-ordinator stated
the Canadian interpretation of this
undertaking had been implied to
be much broader than the narrow
U.S. interpretation which limits it
to Can./US agricultural trade.
“It is quite clear to us that the
U.S. would be delighted to hog tie
Canada in a Free Trade pact and
eventually absorb ail our potential
foreign markets into its own trade
accounts. This continuing cut
throat business of the United
States has no intention of altering
current subsidized international
trading practices and is aimed at
undermining Canada’s trade po
tential as much asthoseof other
exporting countries” Briscoe
charged.

said to have worn necklaces of
onions to ensure good health.
