May brings warmer, brighter weather - and Ontario's fresh vegetables to the produce counters. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, remind us to watch for Ontario asparagus, green onions, radishes, and greenhouse cucumbers and toma- toes., Asparaus is -a true sign of' --- spring - _ a tasty treat for springtime meals. Since it is available for the short time from about the second week of May to mid June, be ready to enjoy it when it arrives. To maintain its fresh, delicate flavour, plan to eat it the same day you buy it. Cook it just until crisp tender. If you plan to freeze some asparagus do this immediately, since quality is quickly lost after harvest. Greenhouse tomatoes and cuc- umbers are available now until about mid July, when field crops .. become available. Serve these tomatoes and cucumbers in thick slices and large chunks to enjoy their fresh, juicy flavour to the fullest. Green onions and radishes are available from around the end of May until frost. Both add great colour and flavour sparkle to all types of salads. Radishes have a special zip and crunch that blend well with other foods and make them great nibblers. Watch for these vegetables and enjoy the beginning of great summer eating. National Farmers Union BY GRACE AUSTIN The National Farmer's Union says that the federal government is following an agricultural policy of underdevelopment. The N.F.U. in a brief submitted in February for the Food Strategy Conference, listed a series of solutions if Canada is to have a stable farm economy and 'a sufficient food supply. The list includes 'farm price stabilization, an energy and transpdrtation policy geared to regional development and a Land Use and Tenure policy which protects farm land from urban and industrial sprawl and keeps land out of the hands of corporate and non-resident land owners. "Consumers are afraid of farmers' demands," says the NFU, "because they blame farmers for the rising costs of food. We sympathize with their fear of rising food prices and we know the price the consumer pays is disproportiante to what the' farmers gets for producing it. But the blame must be levelled at the processors, distributors and large retail chains. They 'are the ones who cause the increase. Don't blame the producer who's having a hard time making ends meet." In summary the NFU wants the federal government to counteract the current drift toward under- development in agricultural pro- duction. Food production is among the last of Canadian controlled resource industries. The productive potential of Can- adian farm families should be regarded as a positive factor in our economy.
