Tidbits
With Adrian Vos
The worldwide crops problem is
not over yet.. Argentine wheat
exports will be only 35 million
bushels this year -as‘ against 100
million bushels last year. There is
one, ray o' hope. hi North America
the winter wheat crop looks good.
If we don't get too much winter kill,
and if we do get adequate
moisture, and if we get no flooding
in critical times, and if not too
many, snowmobilers drive over it,
_packing the snow and smothering
the wheat, we may come up with a
good crop.

If there are still some people left
who think that the farmer is getting
rich at 'the expense of the other
consumer, here is = something to
think about. Last- August, 14
ounces of canned peas cost 29e.
The farmers' share was' 3 1/2t;
fourteen ounces of- tomatoes -were
31c, the farmer . got 2.6c; kernel
corn was 36 1/2 c, farmers' •share
2.1c; carrots sold for 2Sc of which
the farmer received 0.8c. How's
that grab you.

The inflation. It hits -us all, but it
hiesome 'more than it hit others. I
think that everyone agrees that
people on small fiXed incomes are
hardest hit. The average consumer
price index rose last „ year about

Lucknow Women's Institute held
their regular meeting in the
Assembly rooms January 14 with a
good turnout despite the stormy
day. •
The meeting opened with' W.I.
'Grace. , A delicious dessert was
served by the hostesses.. Mrs;
Barger, in .her pleasant manner,
gave several selections on her
accordian, while tea was served, a
very fitting opening for the meeting
whieh got underway with ., the
Opening Ode' and The, Mary
Stewart collect,
The correspondence was read.
The Junior Woinen!s Institute has
extended an invitation to the Senior
W.I. to attend their meeting
12%. This includes such items as
soft drinks, which are classified as
foods. However, the average farm
input rose by' 18%. So, if you read
that farm income soared last .year
for the Canadian farmer, and you
will, remember that his outlay ,
soared even more. So his net
income will be lower. There's no
tying of the cost of living to the
farmers' income.
******
You may have read in the daily
papers that air pollution from cars
and from factories causes severe
losses to the white bean crop (up to
60%). Now it has come .to my
attention that nearly all crops
suffer from this cause including
rhubarb., corriV.ohion, potafo,
ish, spinach, tobacco and tomato.
As we can't move the land, isn't it
time that we at least stop industry
from moving on the land? There's
lots of room on poor or min-food
producing land.

Re 4-H work, Mrs. Leonard
Ritchie and Mrs. Glen Walden are

World Affairs with Mrs. Alex'.
McNay as convener. 0 Canada was
followed with a poem, by Mrs.
McNay, "Throughout the Coming
Year". Mrs. Ruth Helm reported
on Federated News. This report
was most interesting. • Mrs. Tuck
was honored in the '1n Memor-
iam". She had founded eight W.I.
groups in the-North West Territor-
ies and the Peace River district, a
wonderful record. Mrs. Helm read
the words to the W.I. carol which is
sung to the tune of Old Lang Syne.
Mrs. Sam Gibson gave 2 short
readings on New Years. A solo by
Mrs. Eunice Dunimuir was enjoy-
Mrs. McNay gave the motto on
"World Affairs". She spoke of the'
world being so full of trouble,
floods, storms, fires and famine,
also the crippling strikes. 1975 is
designated women's' year. Many
positions are being filled for the 1st,
time by women. Never before have'
the Rural Women been so helpful
in educating and helping the
outlying areas.
