This a poem taken from the July issue 01
Farm Woman:
Family Picnic ,
Oh, here they come, unloading cats
With hampers full of pickle jars and pies
And beans fresh baked and rolls of ham.
I wonder, will I remember them,
My 42 cousins, my uncles and aunts?
I give each one a passing glance
As to the tables stretchedthey lumber.
Heavens! What a growing number!
Am P related to everyone?
The eldest t� the youngest son?
Hurry now - the tables spread
Its time, dear ones, to bow your head and
then dig in.
But what a din
As story telling feats relate
The passing of the greatest `Great' !
Of pioneers. The homestead years,
The droughts, and plagues. The jokes and
laughter.
Tears. And all the ever after....
Too soon the hampers, ligher now,
Are hoisted. Little ?nes in tow,
They straggle to the waiting cars.
Dirty dishes. Empty jars.
Fond farewells. Rowdy toots,
.Roots /
Stir anew at times like these.
Leaves stay attached to family trees.
This poem was written by Barbara Boyd
of St: Catharines, Ontario.

MPP's committee review.
Brue _agriculture study
On July 30, 1985 the Bruce County
Agricultural Study Committee met with the
Honourable Jack Riddell, Minister of
Agriculture, and Food, the 'Honourable
Murray • Elston, the Deputy Minister of
Agriculture.and five members of the
provincial staff. .
• The committee reviewed the highlights
from the recently completed Bruce County
Agriculture Study and reviewed as well
some statistics from a beef•operation and a
cash. crop .operation in the • county whit i
showed the serious effect that the interest
rates'and markets have on the•'viability of
these farming operations:
.The committee demonstrated the short-
coming of the liquidation clause in the
• Ontario Farm Financial Assistance Pro-
gram which has represented, the ultimate,
destruction of .many fain ore�atrons in the
county and the province.
The minister was quite sympathetic to
the concerns expressed by the committee
and indicated that within 'several weeks a
new government initiative. would be
announced to 'help offset some of these
financial problems. •
The minister appearedlake warm with
respect to the committee's suggestion
concerning the establishment of some form
of debt review tribunals. He indicated that
the federal government was considering.
alternatives to the debt review tribunal
proposal.
The committee did receive some assur-
ance .that 'if the federal tri -partied red meat
proposal was not successful, the province
would introduce a bi-partied proposal for
Ontario producers. A supply management
scheme for provincial red meat producers
does not appear to be feasible without
federal participation.
The committee is presently attempting
to set up meetings with the provincial and
federal agricultural critics in order to
review the county proposal. The committee
as well will be reviewing the responses to
the Bruce County Agricultural Study that.
have beenreceived from various financial
and credit institutions.
