Until 1972, the main method of protecting livestock from wildlife predators in Ontario, was a provincial bounty system. However, this protection was ineffective beoause it did not dif- ferentiate between the coyote and the timer wolf. Moreover, no attempt was made to control livestock predation in specific production areas of the province where there was a serious problem. Although this should be a provincial responsibility, the Ontario Government is currently relying upon producers to solve the problem themselves. This practice of attempting to control predators by acting only after losses occur, has been ineffective and haphazard. The Government chosen to ignore the recommendations of the Provincial "Mammalian and Avian Pest Management Committee" which was established to examine this situation. In fact, the Com- mittee's report, submitted in June 1977, has yet to be tabled in the House. The Private Member's Bill which Mr. Riddell has in- troduced, would establish predator control areas which are primarily suited to agriculture as opposed to those areas suited to wildlife. Predator Control Committees consisting or representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Natural Resources, municipal government and producers would be established to designate the location, intensity and method of predator control in regions where increased predator control is shown to be necessary. has Ladies Auxiliary of Hensall meet CHANGE IN NAME INDEPENDENT SHIPPER TO United Co -Operatives of Ontario Livestock Department Toronto Ship your livestock with FRANK VOOGEL Dashwood Monday is shipping day from Varna Stockyard previously Roy Scotchmer '1.15 per hundred for fat cat- tle.

Agricultural Chemicals & Seed Division, 1 Wilton Grove Road, London, Ontario N6A 4t6 Telephone (519) 681-2173 A\Afprnn to a Reg TM of Hoechst AG Hannam speaks at banquet The farmers of Canada must make themselves more visible to the consumers and politicians of this country, according to Peter Hannam, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA). Hannam was guest speaker at the annual dinner and dance sponsored by the Hay and Stanley Federation of Agriculture held Friday evening at the Pineridge Chalet. Hannam told the crowd of 250, "We are very fortunate in Canada to be eating like this, tonight. Canadians have become accustomed to having so much food." Agriculture has been ignored as an industry by the politicians and that farmers could be producing more food which would mean more jobs: "It's time that we don't stand behind our fence and react from there," Hannam said. Some farmers are begin- ning to take the initiative in the telling of their side of the story and that this is a role which the Federation can play a part in, Hannam said and he urged the farmers to take the initiative in the telling of their story. "We must put our stories first and put accusers on the defensive," the Federation president stated. A food strategy meeting held in Ottawa recently was disturbing to Hannam with the federal government saying that food prices should be kept low. New directives such as the above would spell hardships for farmers as farmers are unable to lower their costs while the retailers and wholesalers of food can reduce their payments to farmers. According to Hannam, "Consumers have had one whale of a bargain (on food) and they still have." One of the Federation's new moves into getting the far- mer's position across has received a "great response," the Guelph area cash farmer said. A Farmer's Price Index has been devised by the Federation to help the con- sumer better understand the position which the modern farmer in. In the farmers index, food is broken into imported and non -imported categories. Hannam said that domestically grown food prices have been consistent while imported food prices have gone up considerably. Another important role for the Federation is that of a watchdog on governments and their agencies. Hannam cited the Farm Products Marketing Act as an area where Federation lobbying had had an effect. On the provincial front, the proposed occupational health safety bill wh.ch has passed second reading in the house was the cause of some con- sternation on behalf of Hannam. The bill as constituted Hannam said would cause severe hardships on farming community if it was passed. Calling some of proposed regulations "utter nonsense" Hannam stated, "There will be a riot in rural Ontario if this bill is not changed." In a question and answer period Hannam said that his group was solidly opposed to the establishment of hydro generating plants in agricultural areas and have maintained this position for three years. A Federation brief will be submitted to the Porter Commission stating that stand. The Federation leader, in a reply to another question said that the OFA is ,firmly op- posed to specific areas of property tax reform that were mentioned in a provincial white paper back in January. McKeough has accepted many of the suggestions which the OFA has put for- ward but Hannam said that the farmers want all of its proposals implemented. Personalize your pattern Have you given much thought to your spring and summer wardrobe lately? Would you like some ideas? Over the past two months the Ministry of Agriculture & Food has sponsored a course for women in Huron County entitled, "Personalize Your Pattern". In this course the participants have taken a pattern they already own or a new one and made proper adjustments to ensure a perfect fit for their garments. Then some members have gone on to redesign parts of their patterns to give a "new" look. This includes changing the position of darts, con- verting darts to gathers or tucks, adding pockets or different necklines or sleeves. The members seem to have enioved this course thoroughly and would like to encourage you to come to their Summary Days. These summary days are as follows: Clinton, Ontario Street United Church, April 18, 7:30 p.m. Wingham, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, April 19, 1 :30 p.m. At these programs the women will be giving a fashion show and report on what they have done during the project. As well there will be a presentation by the Home Economist on Co- ordinating a Wardrobe and how to plan additions to your wardrobe. It will be a very interesting program. You might get some ideas for your own spring outfits. Admission is free so come and bring your friends. COLOSTOR T.M.
