Farm Women's Conference slated for November
LONDON - Farm women will be
able to recharge their spirits at the
Fifth National Farm Women's
Conference being held November
21-23 in London, Ontario, says
Conference Chairperson Donna
Lunn. During these times of uncer-
tainty in Canada's agriculture in-
dustry, it is commonly the woman -
wife, mother, partner - who tries to
keep the family unit together when
stress threatens to break it apart.
Recognizing this situation, con-
ference organizers have included
speakers who will tackle problems
of easing the "triple burden", equal-
ity, and finding positive solutions
to family violence.
Other sessions will emphasize
and celebrate Canadian farm wom-
en's contributions to Canada's most
important industry - agriculture.
One session will deal with the im-
age of farm women as profession-
als, while during another, the re-
sults of a recent survey will be
released, presenting a clearer pic-
ture of Canada's farm women.
Pheasants
not so fancy
anymore
REGINA - Frozen pheasant din-
ners? You could see them in super-
markets if Saskatchewan's Com-
mercial Pheasant Producers Co-
operative succeeds in developing
new markets for its birds. With
funding from Agriculture Canada,
the University of Saskatchewan is
looking at the nutritional analysis
of pheasant meat in addition to de-
veloping processed pheasant prod-
ucts that will help diversify the in-
dustry. Until now, pheasant
producers have sold mostly to the
upper end of the restaurant and ca-
tering market.
Crown and
root rot meets
bacterial
nemesis
SUMMERLAND, B.C. - Agri-
culture -Canada researchers in Sum-
merland have found a bacteria that
will control crown and root rot, a
fungal disease, in apple trees.
Crown and root rot can kill an av-;
erage of three percent of trees each
year in some orchards. Trials have
shown that applying a preparation
of naturally occurring soil bacteria
will restore infected trees within
three years, elitninating the use of
costly chemicals and, in some cas-
es, actually increasing yields.
Calling all
weed
watchers
Delegates to the conference will
be asked to make history by ratify-
ing the constitution of the Canadian
Farm women's Network, an organi-
zation which proposed to act as a
national integrated voice for farm
women's concems by linking pro-
vincial farm women's organiza-
OTTA._ WA- The Canadian Wild ----
life Service is calling on Canadians
everywhere to report large stands
of purple loosestrife, recently de-
clared a noxious weed by Manito-;
ba.
Once prized as an ornamental,
this wildflower is rapidly choking
wetlands across the country, dis-
placing native vegetation and re-
ducing wildlife diversity by de-
stroying its habitats.

eration and Ducks Unlimited have
collaborated to produce a brochure

tions on current agricultural issues
like depressed grain prices, farm fi-
nances and ethanol fuel, the Net-
work will also ask its members to
set priorities for lobbying.
The Fifth National Farm Wom-

en to come together to support and
encourage one another, as they in-
crease their knowledge of vital is-
