Having a network of writers throughout the area makes this possible. Mary -Lou Weiser -Hamilton, wh9 farms in Grey County, con- tributed the article about growing wheat in Tanzania. The Caldwells, from Egremont Township, spent two years there helping to manage a 10, 000 -acre farm funded by the Canadian International Develop- ment Committee. Cameron MacAuley, from Bruce County, submits his view- point on the problems in agriculture and where he thinks the solutions begin. His article in- troduces a new type of feature to the magazine — Farm Forum. We will be inviting various members of the agricultural community to sub- mit their views as seen from their perspective. We have been told by farmers at various trade shows that they like to read about other peo- ple's opinions. Farm Forum will serve that purpose. Also this issue: Michelle Timko, a lecturer at Centralia College, outlines ideas for incentive pro- grams for farm employees; Phyllis Coulter, from Perth County, writes about Neil Nutt who painted signs for 44 years; Alice Gibb, from Middlesex County, provides another agricultural flashback about one of the "infernal com- bustion engines" — the Hart Parr tractor of the early 1900s. Along with our regular con- tributors in the magazine, present- ing a good variety of solid reading material is what we are trying to achieve. Thanks for your letter Beula Day.
