2 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
In this issue you will find out
that if canola smelt like stinkweed,
the problem with flea beetles might
be solved, that buffalo always run
counter -clockwise and can sense
cowardice or aggression in people,
that Essex County, home of the Inter-
national Plowing Match this year, is
known as the most intensive and diver-
sified cash -crop farming area in
Canada, and that the hidden costs of
our system of farming include the pol-
lution of land and the destabilization
of rural communities.
You may discover that when you
purchase a new computer, you could
find yourself spending more time
doing the books than ever before, that
the goat industry in Ontario is rich in
potential, and that lupins are being
grown successfully and can be used
directly as a high -protein animal feed.
And something new has been
added to The Rural Voice. We wel-
come the Perth County Federation of
Agriculture members. Their newslet-
ter begins with this issue (page 78) to
keep Perth County farmers informed
of federation activities, concerns, and
proposals. Readers tell us that the
newsletters carried in the magazine
give them a chance to read what other
organizations are doing to keep
agriculture viable as it goes through
rapid changes.
Wishing you a happy, healthy
harvest.0
