Club now called "Dairy Queens" EXETER - Meeting two of the newly christened Exeter 1I 4-11 club began on October 10, with the 4-11 pledge. The roll call this week was " name one type of milk your fami- ly uses and how. Again all mem- bers were present. The club chose a new name and is now known as the "Dairy Queens". The focus of this week's meeting was all the different types of milk. They talked about pasteuri- zation, and then...the milk taste test! Which is which? The Dairy Queens tasted nine different types of milk, and tried to name them. Sarnples of homogenized, butter- milk, 2% evaporated, lactate, skim milk powder, skim, 1%, 2% and chocolate milks were tested and guessed at. A discussion followed about the merits of each types. They compared the nutrients in each, as well as the taste. A snack was then prepared, con- sisting of: Cheesy Fondue Dip, Creamy Pasta, and Hot Cocoa. The next meeting will be at the same place, same time, next Thursday, October 17. Meeting three of the Exeter II Training courses for local farmers GODERICH - A training course is being offered to Huron County farm families who wish to diversity and pursue "on farm" business op- portunities. Sponsored by the Hu - Paying dearly for soil erosion LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA Hold on to your topsoil! That's the message from Agnculture Canada researchers studying the dollars and cents of soil erosion at the Leth- bridge Research Station. When in- cremental levels of topsoil were re- moved mechanically from the test sites, results revealed yield levels dropped by up to 90 percent. The study also found irrigation isn't a "quick fix" for artificially - eroded soil. Instead, feedlot manure is probably the best bet for restor- ing soil productivity.

No one, even in his or her wildest dreams, would have believed one of the world's most powerful na- tions, probably one of the most feared nations in the world, could come apart so quickly. But it did. I believe Canada's system of sup- , ply management is going to come ;apart the same way. Marketing boards have been or- ganized in Canada for 30 years. It will take less time for them to be dismantled. I have been a proponent of mar- keting boards for all of those 30 years. When the Ontario Flu -cured Tobacco Marketing Board was formed, I remember a few farm writers being totally amazed at the powers given to that board. "If an independent farmer wants to grow 20 acres of tobacco but the board says he can grow only 12, then the board has the power to come on that farmer's land and burn his surplus crops," said one writer who has since moved to the U.S.A. "No farm board -- in fact, no group of people -- should have that kind of power," he said, moaning the de- mise of the free market system. When the Ontario Milk Market- ing Board was formed 25 years ago, I heard dozens of old-timers Salesman Jerry Fuhr of Becker's Farm Equipment congratulates Martin Van Raay of Dashwood, the winner of the use of a Magnum tractor for 1 month or up to 50 hours. Draw was held at Becker's tillage Demo Day October 3 at the farm of Tom Prout. anaglin FARM EQUIPMENT - EXETER, ONTARIO Sales, Service & Rentals since 1932 FAX (519) 235-2121 1800-265-2121 235-2141 �ai_zati� saying the same thing. I remember an old Scotsman who had a beauti- ful herd of Guernseys. He repeat- edly said that he would ship his milk with a trucker of his choice and nobody was going to force him to use another. His resolve did not last long when it came to dollars and cents. I believe in marketing boards. I think they are the only way indi- vidual farmers can prevail against big business, multi -national food giants, world-wide grain -and -feed companies, cartels and monopo- lies. I watched with great glee when farmers got together to use marketing legislation. The feathers industry -- turkeys, chickens and eggs -- organized on a national basis and weathered a lot of storms. Remember when the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency was slaughtered by the media for allowing eggs to rot? I still firmly believe that, al- though fanners have been having dreadful times recently, the sectors of the agricultural economy with supply management marketing boards have managed to survive better than their counterparts with- out supply management. But, as this is written, dire warn- ings are coming from those who are negotiating in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and from those working on the free trade negotiations. Powerful pres- sures are being exerted by the Unit- ed States and Mexico and from overseas to dismantle supply man- agement. /r r , • • I, It is not the first time these threats have surfaced but what trou- bl me is that farmers, themselves, arauestioning the status quo. Some farmers have been asking for reforms within the marketing system. Almost all marketing boards have agenda items that will not go away calling for reforms. Old, familiar problems keep crop- ping up, year after year, yet no so- lutions are being offered. I can point specifically to the On- tario chicken industry and the Ca- nadian Marketing Agency. Ontario growers desperately want a larger share of the national quota. They have been begging for more for 10 years and cannot get a satisfactory solution; just Band-Aid measures when a full-scale operation is need- ed. I would hate to see these boards collapse under their bureaucratic weights. Too many men and wom- en fought for too long to have the results blown away like chaff from a threshing machine. But it could happen in a hurry. Dairy Queens began at 7:15 on Thursday with the pledge. At roll call everyone tried to guess a cheese that comes from Canada and all were present but one. Because of the long baking time of the sal- mon quiche and Lemon Raspberry Mine Cheesecakes and Raspberry sauce, they were cooked first. Meeting three was focused on cheese, so we did a sample of nine different types of cheese. These were: cheese curds, edam, goats milk, brie, havarti, med. cheddar, cheddar - low sodium, cherry and kirsch cheese log, and a Kraft cheese pot. All were tasted and compared. Exeter II then talked about making cheese, and different types of cheese. The next meeting is November 7 at Cockwill's.
