Politiciar2. and
bureaucrats remain
Sometimes, it's a good thing, too.
C4erry Locking works for the federal department of agri-
-CUIThre. He is probably interested in politics to, the point
where he likes to know who his next boss is going to be. But,
he is also a civil servant ,
He is not likely to be turfed out, of (Qice or outof,
job if, a change of government occurs at Ottawa. Which is
why he -was able tolay it on the line to farmers at The semi,
annual meoting of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing
Board.
A politician could lose votes 'for saying some of the things
Mr. Locking said.
Be told the pork producers that Ottawa, in any efforts to
.create a, stabilization program for farmers, will not allow
what has'been termed top -loading by provinces. Top -loading
will simply not be tolerated.
And what is top -loading"? It comes about when the feder-
al government announces a system for say.- hog producers,
'where they will be guaranteed- a certain amount for, produc-
tion. Tien, the provincial governments announce another
plan to provide extra sUbsidies. Farmers, naturally, would
take advantage of both programs, Can you blame them'?
'hat is top -loading
fltawa, saidoMr, Locking. wilt definitely not agree to ,a
program of any kind which will give producers producers in one area
of Canada an artificial advantage over producers in another
area. It takes some courage to make statements, like that
and this nation is fortunate. to have people in positions of
formulating policy who will be, frank. -
In the beef i4dustry, for instance, British Columbia farm-
ers are guaranteed 77 cents a p(iund for calves, Ontario
farmers through the beef calf stabilization program are
guaranteed 50 cents a pound. Mr. Locking's statements to.
pork producers indicate very strongly that, the ,p?ovinces
will have to clean up their own backyards before the federal
governments — come and go but the

government will come to anybody's rese,ue.
Amisconception has arisen, too, aboutjust what a stabili-
zation program should be. Some agricultural producers
think that a stabilization program should guarantee them
their entire cost of production pips a neat profit as well But
stabilizing a program should !I'M entail a complete guar-
antee that eve'ry,producer in Canada will get a guaranteed
annual income.
This writer is in complete agreement with the philosophy
behind government promises to helpfarmers get some re-
turn on their labor andanv•estment.But to support a P`ro-
gram which would. guarantee , full costs goes against my
grain.
The key ward.„in the'above paragraph is the word help.
Help,. But not legislation which would give some farmers a
licence to rip-off the
Et must be the work ethic instilled in me s a child and a
teen-ager. I remember working with grandfather —after:
four -and -Saturdays- to earn enough money for a biCycle.
Many times 1 trudged out to hoe potatoes or some other
equally distasteful chore when many of my pals vverc. head-
ing to the river for a swim or out to the many-sugarbushes
in the area for a hike. - • .
I don't think it did me any h"arm,'In fact, vl know a few
teen-agers today who would benefit a great deal bY getting
somernud or manure on their boots, .
And I don't think the majority of farmers in this prov-
ince want a licence to make money by bellying up to the
public purse, I think most of them would agree to a, plan or
a joint program- involving both the province and federal
government which wpuld help them through the ups -and -
downs of the marketplace and give them enough to keep
them on the land.
As a group, •farmers are honest. 'Straightforward and
fiercely independent People, All they want is a fair shake.
And don't ever forget that they work in the most important
basic industry in the world.

Dollar conscious consumers
have an excellent oppOrtunity
to save this month at pick -your -
own apple and pear operations,
Horticulturist J. K. Htighes,
Ontario Ministry of Agnipilture
ancl Food, says prices at pick -
your own farms are on ,the
average '30 to 40 percent less
than what many conventional,
retail.stores charge.
"In addition to, the monetary
savings, pick -yotir-own offers
the chance of, an enjoyable day
in the country with the family,'
1\11-, Flu-ghes says.
Apples and pears are ex•
pected to be excellent this
year; ample sunshine ,and
_adequate rain during the
growing season have ensured a
gOod.,,crop, Mr, -Hughes, says
there•are at least 10 or 1 dif-
ferent varieties of apples grown
in the province, but suggests
McIntosh' or. Delicious as the
most popular eating varieties.
Bartlett is likely the most.
important 'variety of pear �n
pick-yOur-own oPerations. .
Most farms clearly indicate
what varieties are iipe. and
where to pick them,' If this
information is not, posted.. jpst
check with the 'farmer. Half -
