Mr. Arnold gave 'an informative talk on the type of financing avail-.. able to dairy farmers, and the , type of information that a bank- er would‘ require, before consid- ering approval 'of a farm loan. Mr. Arnold' pointedlmt that any loan interest rate will vary ac- cording to the risk taken by the lender. The type of operation and the management ability of the farmer are_two of these risks con- sidered! Mr. Arnold's presentation was followed by a talk,, from a pric- tical farmer's viewpoint, of how herd health problems are hand- led at the farm. This topic was taken by Wallace -Knapp of Cam- bridge, a prominent' Holstein breeder and member of the 'Ont- ario Milk Commission. Mr. Knipp discussed housing and health pro- blems, associated with dairy cattle through from birth to mat- urity. Dr. Shain from United-Breeders gave a slide presentation and dis: cussion of problems and treat- mel associated with cattle breed-' ing problems. Both Mr. Knapp and Dr. Shain stressed the im- portance of good management practices.. This would include maintaining, individual cow health records and continued reference to these records. The final speaker of the day, Dr. Biesenthal from the Walker- ton - Hanover Veterinary Clinic, Zeroed in on the problem of cow abortion and possible treatment of this continual problem. All of the speakers for the day, took the position that they felt the wisest move that dairy farm- ers could take today, considering the growing Brucellosis problem, would be to return to a practice of calfhood vaccination. . The day's program was terznin- ated in.excellent time, -following a,, lively discussion period. Chocolate milk breaks were provided daily at the meetings, courtesy a the Bruce and Grey County Milk Committees. II. I).

Bruce County N.F.IJ. NEWS The 'following is a letter sent to members of parliament as request- ed by a motion passed by District 5 of the National Farmers Union. Dear. Sir, The members of District 5, Region 3 of the NFU, at their December .rneeting i passed a mo- tion protesting proposed pay in- creases to' members 'of parliament. It is ironic 'that 'the elected. legislature of this country seems to think because they have the power, they have the right to increase salaries to the point where-theY are in the highest paid bracket of the 'country, while at the same 'time ignoring important principals.. It is our belief that the leaders of this country should be responsible enough to at least try , to remove the double standard of establishing people's incomes. A speCific example is your government's proposed farm stab-, ilization program based on 90%. of the last five years average price: It .'is the responsibility of the legislature to provide legislation to , bring about social' and economic justice, narrowing the gap between the haves and have-nots of our society.. The proposed salary increase for members of parliament simply widens that gap and "will not be accepted by farmers until these policy makers .accept their respon. sibility to stabilize farm prices at ' levels that assure, full cost oi production, including a satisfactory return on capital investment, and labour.' Lorne Luther, Director, District 5, N. F. U. What effect is the shorter work week going to have on the price of prOducts? Those in'small business. es hiring help,' find themselves having, to pay ' time and a half for any time over 44 hours a week. This is riot feasible for seasonal jobs where workers are needed to provide farm products and services such as fertilizer deliveries * and machinery repair- It is undoubted- ly going to reflect on the cost of these products and services to the farmers.
