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. Agriculture Canada, Environment Canada, the Canadian Wildlife Fed- eration and Ducks Unlimited have collaborated to produce a brochure informing the public about the problem. tions. Through discussion of resolu- 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's Conference," Sharing Our Vi- sion" will be a time for farm wom- en to come together to support and encourage one another, as they in- crease their knowledge of vital is- sues in today's agriculture indus- uY• Ready to Receive Your 1991 Soybean and Corn Crop s a s. 7 .F j v.,,..,...,..,:. n i- a, ..;� ?•' id f.,---4:r"� ' .. _d4.4!:,,q, " 5:M • „iii - 4* . ,.,•a.... -.
