Page 6ACLINTONNEWS-RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1985 bythe end of the month, saysRiddell Stabilizaiotiplan expected Y A tripartite stabilization program for red meat producers should be in place by the end of October, said Ontario, Minister of Agriculture Jack Riddell. "It looks as if the three prairie provinces are ready to go and the m ritime provinces should follow. The progrh should include retroactive payments (to Ontario farmers) by the federal and provincial governments because we recognize farmers in other provinces were subsidized in the second and third quarter," he said. The stabilization program should put all farmers on an equal footing by countering the recent losses suffered by beef and pork farmers, said Riddell. Riddell, who spoke to the Goderich Rotary Club last Tuesday, described the farming crisis as an economic accident. "It costs $400,000 to $500,009 to start a farm and a lot of people in Ontario, who wanted to do so, have had to get heavily in debt to make it happen. Thanks to wild shifts in interest rates, many of our farmers do • face financial troubles through no fault of their own." Riddell said he's had overwhelmingly positive response to the .Ontario Family Farm Interest Rate Reduction program IOFFIRR) which will give 10,000 farm families the chance to restructure their businesses. The program lowers interest rates on up to $200,000 of long-term farm debt to eight vire r cent. "If you're wondering why I thought it so important- to rysh in and help these people, consider thidfigure—$315 mullion. It's the total value of agriculture products produced each year here in .Huron County. That's what's at stake," he said. Another way to help Ontario farmers is find new markets and get more out of existing ones so the Ministry of Agriculture is starting a five year, $L5 million program to boost sales of Ontario products abroad. Potential for greater sales in the United States is illustrated by sales missions to Houston and Miami which netted sales of $5 million and $4 million, he said. As well as opening business offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Philadelphia, Ridc'ell said his ministry has recently sold $3 million in poultry, cattle and hogs in China. "These efforts to increase exports are something I believe in very strongly. I feel this is a very tangible way to improve financial prospects for our producers by giving them more places to sell their products." Over -production in Canada and more countries becoming major exporters of food makes it difficult for Canada to hold to its DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC Open Mon. -Fri. 8:30 am -5:30 pm Eve. & Weekend -by appt.

However, Riddell said his "personal caution light" goes on when anyone mentions free trade with the U.S. "As the, United States seems to interpret it, free trade means we're free to buy all the goods they can possibly ship up here and they're free to stop any of our products from crossing their borders," he said. Though he said he's willing to discuss free trade, Riddell said he's worried about the fate of Ontario agriculture with free trade. "I'm scared skinny about any movement to free trade in the true sense of the word. It's difficult to compete with our friends south of the border," he said. "When it comes to commodities such as chickens, we can't compete. The state of Georgia could flood our market with all the chicken we could eat because they have more favorable climatic conditions." Riddell also questioned if Canada's wine industry and car industry could survive with free trade in operation. "I don't want to turn a deaf ear to free trade. I want to discuss it and determine where we're going to. be winners and losers and decide whether we're prepared to lose in those areas," he said. Tests are invalid... • from page 3A to expect miracles. The child, through remedial. classes, may move from working at a D level to a C level, but there is seldom advancement beyond that point. However, students who have had remedial education tend to finish high school, gain employment and there is a lower rate of juvenile delin- quency. The, Distar system emphasizes Leaching letter sounds, rather than simply naming theni. Another, system used in remedial training called Initial Teaching Alphabet (ITA) con- centrates on phonetically sounding the let- . ters of the alphabet. The Bridge Program uses a whole word approach with pictures so the child learns by associations; says Dr. Simner. Once any of these programs have, lbeen mastered, the child•can easily move back to using the regular alphabet. Most schools in Canada are using these sytems or modifica- t inns of the different systems. • Business and Professional Directory REPAIR Clinton Electric 0 White -Westinghouse fi-c Tt p s s i is t Appliances Sales and Service APPLIANCE REPAIRS ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE 90 ALBERT ST. 482-3646 APPLIANCE and REFRIGERATION REPAIR SERVICE Jim Broadfoot 482®7032 INSURANCE 11 McKILLOP MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY 91 Main St. South, Seaforth Office 527-0400 FARM, HOME, COMMERCIAL AUTO COVERAGES — — AGENTS E.F.

(photo by Susan Hundertmark ) Quack grass control in fall BELGRAVE - This fall, it's expected more Ontario farmers than ever will begin their annual quackgrass control program predicts Darryl Culbert,' Manager of Belgrave Co-op in Belgrave. • "Farmers have more time in the fall, s� it is becoming increasingly popular to look after their quackgrass .problem early, rather than waiting, until spring When they are busy seeding. and bad weather. could delay spraying," contends Culbert. Unfortunately many farmers -have had quackgrass for so long, they have grown to accept it, he says. But, if left to spread quackgrass can slash yields by more than half, Culbert notes.. "Although quackgrass can reproduce from seed the chief reason for its spreading is ' its extensive underground rhizome system. In fact, one quackgrass plant left undisturbed for one year can produce over 135 metres i 450 feet I of new rhizomes and PECK APPLIANCES "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" *FILTER QUEEN SALES & SERVICE •VACUUM CLEANERS (Sales & Service to Mont Mahatil • FM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (For Farm & Businesal.

Cultural prac- tices such as plowing,, won't solve the pro- blem as' it breaks up the rhizomes to generate new plants, he adds. In preference to plowing, he says, mai farmers are turning to herbicides. And, o herbicide long recognized for effective quackgrass control is Roundup herbicide, he adds. ' Unlike other herbicides, Roundup controls both above and below -ground growth. he continues. 'This is because - Roundup travels through the weed and attacks the roots. When applied to the actively growing quackgrass - at least 20, cm tall - the her- bicide controls the entire plant and prevents regrowth from the rhizomes," he concludes. "Light frosts will not adversely affect fall application and Roundup does not carry over to limit cropping options the following spring.", - If you're NEW IN TOWN and don't know which way to turn, call hostess at 524-2202 or 524-2544 LTO To Marcia Feddes, Clinton Keith Ryan, vanastra Leisa Mustard, Brucefield Maggie Ostler, Brampton Chris Fraser, ciinton Michelle Merrier, Clinton Barbara Venderlei, Blyth A pilot project!
