"Please read the book. The methods (of conservation) you do agree with, try to in- corporate with your play. 'Palk to your neighbors about it. Soil conservation has to be a part of it. Any one of these issues can save topsoil. If you can save one ton, it's worth it." He added that the farmers alone cannot shulder the responsibility of making sure the soil is saved, and the consumer is going to have to help out through paying higher prices for goods or higher taxes to the government so they can help the farmers out. "These soils belong to future generations, we must be guardians. The consuming public has to be spending money or in 30 years we'll be importing all our food into this country," he said in conclusion. "If we destroy the soil, the soil will destroy us." The other panelists for the meeting includ- ed Lindsay Barfoot, vice-president, agriculture for the bank, Kenneth Sum- mers, vice-president and district executive of the bank and Randal Goodfellow, agrologist for tht' bank. Park properly or pay up CLINTON - Following the previous park- ing fine bylaw, council here raised the penalty for parking in a prohibited area. Those who park on municipal lots not designated for public use, such as the fire hall parking lot, or those who park on private property,should be prepared to pay a fine of $10 instead of the previous $5. No Crossing Guard A request for a crossing guard to assist children crossing at John Street and Highway 4 was turned down by Clinton Council at their March 2 meeting because of an insufficient number of children crossing there. Council received a letter from Sophia Scott who has three school age children at- tending St. Joseph's Separate School. In the letter she told council she felt it was not safe for her children to cross Highway 4 at John Street without assistance. In response, Mayor John Balfour said a study had been conducted one year ago and it was found there was not a sufficient amount of children crossing at that point to warrant a crossing guard. As an alter- native, it was suggested the children cross at George Street where there is less traffic. In the mean time, "The situation is being monitored, continu9usl,�a,' said Mayor Balfour... 6:�.. Award Winners Congratulations were offered by council to the Clinton : Boy Scouts and Cubs for receiving an honorable mention in the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority Conservation Awards'. All of these speakers stressed that there is a future for agriculture in Canada and the market will grow. They pointed out that in order to maintain their share of the market Canadian farmers will have tabe very com- petitive and keep on top of modern policies and technologies. The chairman for the meeting, Linus Kuntz, summed up these ideas when he stated, "Farmers are seeking the . com- petitive edge. Today's successful farmer ex- plores the possibilities, looks for the com- petitive advantage, sets goals and objec- tives, develops a strategy and seeks the edge to ensure success. This is the essence The Bank of Montreal also released a commodity forecast summary for 1987 at the meeting. It predicts that with the large global sup- plies and continued production, Canadian crop prices will remain under pressure in 1987-88. "Corn plantings in 1987 are expected to in- crease five per cent to 3.5 -million acres in response to increased feeding activities, the countervail action against United States im- ports and less burdensome stocks," noted the report. According to the report, oilseeds will pro- vide the best cash crop prospects of major crops in 1987. On the meat market Canadian feeder steer calf prices are expected to remain strong, with Calgary prices averaging $106/cwt, which is up seven per cent from the 1986 level. Slaughter prices will also be high due to a five to six per cent reduction in U.S. and "Canadian cattle slaughter. "Outlook for hogs continues to suggest relatively strong slaughter prices, with Canadian prices supported by low U.S. pork production and str'ong U.S. prices," the report revealed. In the dairy market industrial milk target returns are expected to remain at $46.30/HL until at least August. The report suggested that the increased consumption of low-fat milk will continue, a§ will the upward trend in sales of cottage cheese, yogurt and specialty cheeses. On the last subject, poultry, the report stated, "Lower producer prices will a. generate relatively low retail price in- creases for poultry compared with beef and pork. Consequently domestic demand is ex- pected to remain strong for poultry," Chicken 20 in box $20.00 CORDON BLEU Chicken, 16 in box $10.40 BURGERS PARTY STICKS Boneless Chicken LEGS Boneless Chicken LEGS & SKINS Ground CHICKEN Soup BONES Chicken SAUSAGE Boneless pokey BREASTS Turkey ROLLS $2.89 Ib.
