R Zurich (, Fl�i bAC�C;lfl� " s.p�r,te. 565 2T�� C.;lo%ed Sotrda' -s Canada 00 Government is gutless Ralph Bae says "Our governments -- especially federally — are politically gutless and in- tellectually paralyzed", On- tario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president Ralph Barrie said last week. In a speech to the Business Club of Metropolitan Toron- to, Barrie criticized the federal government for "toy- ing with an economic fad — monetarism". Monetarism is the. theory that the money supply has to be squeezed in order to fight inflation. It has forced in- terest rates to an un- manageable level, Barrie said. He said farmers are suf- fering financially because government has turned a blind eye to what is happen- ing in the country. "They see that the problems demand immediate action, yet they fail to take any decisive steps," he said. "We are told to have pa- tience, that things are un- folding as they should. Does that mean we're supposed to have more and more people going out of business every day, and losing their homes?" Barrie stressed the impoo- tatice of agriculture to Canada's economy, and to the world supply of food. "Farming is the most im- portant occupation in the world," he said, "and North America provides most of the world's food. So if our food production is limited, the whole world suffers." The Emergency Task Force on Agriculture being organized by OFA should im- press upon the government that, they need to move quickly Barrie said. The Task Force, �Chaired by Everett Biggs, president of the Canadian National Ex- hibition, xhibition, will be in- vestigating the current farm economic crisis in Ontario by holding hearings across the province.

You and quackgrass have an on-going fight. And at harvest time you can see exactly where you're losing the battle. Those patches of quackgrass are rob- bing you of your yield. Plus they make combining very difficult. Worst of all, when you plow the quackgrass under... it's just waiting to reappear next spring. This fall, try something different. Use Roundup®... and get a long-term control program for quackgrass. It's sure and easy. After your crop comes off, let quackgrass regrow the proper stage and spray with Roundup. Wait five days and then continue normal fall plowing. (You can treat even after a mild frost if quackgrass is actively growing.) If harvest is late and you don't get good regrowth this fall ...don't plow Leave the quackgrass 'alone so you can treat it next spring before planting. When used in conjuction with your nor- mal seedling weed control program, you can control quackgrass for up to three years. So this fall win the war against quack - grass.
