If the federal government
can bail out Canadair, it can
bail out farmers having
economic problems, the
president of the OFA said to-
day. The federal government
announced yesterday that it
would assume Canadair
Limited's $1.35 billion debt.
Harry Pelissero said, "The
bankruptcy statistics show
how bad life is in Canada's
rural communities. Our in-
dustry needs assistance too,
and we sure could use a
billion -dollar boost." There
have been 32 farm bankrupt-
cies in Ontario this year, com-
pared to 28 last year. The total
for Canada is up 58 percent
from last year.
"The federal government
can't even guarantee a
market for Canadair's
planes," Pelissero said.
"There's always a market for
food. But little encourage-
ment is given to the food pro-

Far too often, after I
answer the phone, the person
at the other end will say, "My
new barn is almost com-
pleted. How should I ventilate
it?"
Ventilation must come
first! A barn must be plann-
ed around the ventilation
system, NOT the other way
around. NOT planning your
ventilation system first is like
incorporating five pounds of
atrazine into afield and then
at the last minute planting
soybeans. It won't work!
There are many ventila-
tion systems available and
most will work if the type of
animal, the width' of the barn
and, most important, the pen
layout, are matched to the
ventilation system. There are
three basic systems - negative
pressure cross flow, powered
intakes and natural.
Most operators are using
the cross flow system with
fans in one wall and a slot -
type inlet with a baffle board.
This style works well if in-
coming air is directed across
the ceiling and allowed to
drop in the dunging area. It
won't work if the air is allow-
ed to drop in the feeding or
resting area. Dirty pens and
sick animals usually result.
Fan -powered air inlets will
also do a job of ventilating if
the room is designed for
them, again making sure the
air is directed along the ceil-
ing and dropped only in the
dunging area.
Natural ventilation using
continuous automated doors
along both sides of a building
plus a continuous slot opening
at the ridge which can also be
controlled has proven to be a
good option over the past few
years. Open -front shed roof
buildings, again using natural
ventilation, have also proven
themselves and are quite
economical.
Most air systems will -work
if you plan ahead.
