Someone once told me to allow twice as long to do a chore in the wintertime as in the summer. Snow can really slow a job down, sometimes to the point that all we get finish- ed is the snow removal chore. Windbreaks and snow fences can help a lot. Two or three rows of evergreen trees provide the best shelter for a farmstead. This type of shelterbelt will provide wind protection for approximately ten times its height downwind, although -snow will ac- cumulate in this sheltered area. If we want to keep snow out of a feedlot, an eight to ten foot high solid fence is the answer. although this will restrict air movement in the sum- mer. Snow fences are generally 40 to 50 percent open and 50 to 60 percent closed, and will do a good job of catching snow, although they r•tta very long drift on their lee side. A better type of snow fence for a feedlot would be a fence eight to ten feet high with 20 percent open and 80 percent closed. This will create a drift about 30 feet long on the lee side, although it will allow greater air movement in the summer. Our conclusions would be as follows: 1. Shelterbelts, i.e. evergreens, are the best protection - keep buildings, etc. at least 200 feet away from the down wind side. 2. Solid fences eight to ten feet high will almost eliminate snow in a yard but will create stagnant air in the summer. 3. A slotted fence 80 percent closed and 20 percent open provides good snow protection and summer ventilation - make allowance for a 30 foot long drift on the lee side. -Sam Bradshaw, Engineering Technician Lack of responsiveness . is common message The lack of government responsiveness to the needs of Ontario farmers was the com- mon message expressed by delegates to the 47th annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture ( OFA). Many of the delegates gave examples of suffering and desperation among hard- pressed producers from across the pro- vince. OFA President Ralph Barrie summ- ed up the frustration when he said, "Neither the federal or provincial governments'ae providing adequate or timely answers to the critical questions facing us." Barrie added that while the general economy continues to improve, the farm economy is still stagnating. Input costs are rising and many commodity prices are dropping, leading to severe financial hard- ship for many farmers. Referring to meetings with government, Barrie said their response is, "There's no free lunch." "That's just not true. By selling livestock below the cost of production, beef and pork producers are providing thousands of free lunches every day for Canadian con- sumers," he said. Barrie called on government to provide a "ladder of opportunity" for the agricultural community to climb to more prosperous times, as well as "safety nets" for those pro- ducers who are in trouble. The ladder of opportunity should include a well-preserved land base, a healthy farm supply sector, stable and secure pricing, a well-developed wholesale and retail sector, and government policies that provide incen- tives and stability to farming. Barrie also stressed the need for a well-educated socie- ty in regard to modern agricultural prac- tices and the development of.more'effective farm organizations. Delegates to the convention also approved the majority of recommendations in a report on ways to increase the effectiveness of the Federation. The report dealt with structure, finances, lobbying, communica- tions and on-going service development. A recommendation on making the basic membership unit of the OFA the farm fami- ly was sent back to county federations for further input. A decision on changes to any membership will be made at a board meeting early next year. Other decisions made by the convention delegates include: - Rural landowners within 1,000 feet of a severance application be officially notified. - Foodlands receive greater protection from quarries and other development. - Off -shore labour quotas be increased because there are not enough qualified Canadians available for farm work. - Unemployment insurance regulations be changed to reduce the paperwork and ad- ministrative burden on farmers. - Duties and sales tax be eliminated from imported agricultural products. - The tax write-off for farm losses on off - farm income be increased to reflect infla- tion from 1952, when the regulation was in- troduced. - Beginning farmers be allowed five years to show a profit under the federal In- come Tax, the same as is allowed under the Farm Credit Corporation. - Farmers be allowed to deduct up to $5,500 a year from their income if used to reduce mortgage payments. - Noise levels, in line with farming prac- tices, be part of ministry of environment guideline. - Professional engineering, and the subsequent costs, be recommended, but not required under the -Ontario Soil Con- servation and Environmental Protection Assistance Program. - Retroactive payments be made to beef producers to,bring stabilization payments in line with other provinces. The OFA is the largest general farm organization in the province, representing more- than 25,500 individual members and two dozen other farm organikations.

Pyke, 36, said she has three main con- cerns for the upcoming year: the effec- tiveness of OFA lobbying, drainage, and the right -to -farm. Regarding lobbying she said the prepara- In commenting on the past year, Barrie tion of position papers ahead of time, a said it has been "very demanding" for higher profile for Federation spokesmen, farmers because of the pressures created by and more involvement by the membership low commodity prices, high interest rates, is needed. and the lack of government commitment to solve these problems. In 1984 Barrie said his major goal will be to lobby for long-term, affordable credit for agriculture. The OFA has already met with government on its agri-bond proposal, a form of tax -concessional investment, and will continue to press the issue. Barrie added that more of his time will be spent in short- and lodg-term planning ac- tivities. "We simply must do a better job of analyzing today's trends so we can warn farmers of the problems that lie ahead and work towards solutions to these problems," he said. HarryPelissero of Niagara was also returned to office as the Federation's first vice-president. Brigid Pyke, a dairy farmer from Frontenac County, was elected second vice-president. The OFA is the largest general farm organization in the province. It represents more than 25,500 individual members and two dozen other farm organizations. Pelissero, a 31 -year-old egg and poultry producer, said he plans to continue his ap- proach of the past - telling the story of agriculture. "I would like to challenge the members of the OFA to tell our story," he said. "For in- stance, we have one of the few industries that sells wholesale, but buys retail." He believes that pricing and financing will continue to be the most important issues in the agricultural economy. "Each year I consider a new beginning," Ralph Barrie said. "My approach has always been to match today's resources with today's problems." "We are almost 26,000 strong, but we don't act like it," she said. "We need to make bet- ter use of our members." Her concern with drainage is based on the many appeals launched of legitimate pro- jects. "Farmers have deadlines to meet, but the appeal procedure often slows them up. -We need to have stronger safeguards to make sure the appeal procedure isn't abus- ed." Nuisance actions, where neighbours com- plain about farming practices, is another worry for Pyke. "It may not seem to be a big problem provincially, but it can be discouraging to the individual farmer in- volved," she said. Helping the farmers with nuisance actions and explaining the practices of modem far- ming to the public are two ways of overcom- ing the problem, she pointed out, Rounding out the executive committee of the Federation are four farmers from across the province. Jack Wilkinson, 32, is the only new member of the executive. He operates a mixed farm in Lambton County. Mary Wicks, 52, a dairy farmer from Vic- toria County, served her previous term as second vice-president. Keith Buchner, 56, of Oxford County, also runs a dairy operation and is entering his fourth year on the ex- ecutive. Lynn Girty was elected for his se- cond term.

(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Goderich woman speaks to ACW on Crisis Centre By Helen Owen The ladies of Trinity Anglican Church Women in Bayfield met on Nov. 30 to celebrate the feast of St. Andrew. Despite the unpleasant weather a good number were present for the regular com- munion service at which the Rev. Gordon Reynolds officiated, and addressed the ladies on the life of the Saint they were honouring. The next item on the program was a pot luck luncheon served to the members and guests. As always this was more than ade- quate, and offered a variety to meet with every taste and appetite. President Lilian Beakhust, welcomed the guests and thanked all those who had helped in the preparation and the serving of the food. She explained that business would be reduced to a minimum on this occasion, but took time to distribute labels, which had been mentioned at a recent Deanery Meeting. Members were asked to affix these to a tin, and when an occasion arose which merited thankful appreciation, to make a donation. Treasurer, Greta Du Boulay, confirmed that all monetary commitments had been met. She also reported that during the year as a result of the various projects under- taken by the group, over $1,900 had been raised for the perpetuation and maintenance of work in the Mission field. On behalf of the Guild, Doris Hunter, thanked the ACW for their hospitality, and the Rev. George Youmatoff, describing himself as "the other guest" thanked the t group and said he was impressed by the strength of purpose which had brought out so many people on such a deplorable day. Rev. Reynolds also thanked the ladies for their hospitality and added that he also wished to say thank you on behalf of the boys of St. Stephen's Choir who had describ- ed themselves very happy with the treat- ment which had been accorded to them in Bayfield. Crisis Centre Gladys Malcolm introduced the speaker, Mrs. June Taylor, from St. George's Church in Goderich,and Diocesan Secretary of ACW. Mrs. Taylor, she said was on the Board. of the local Crisis Centre and co- ordinator of the service for women after crisis. Mrs. Taylor began by saying that the film which she would show was based on a true and tragic story from the records of Osborne House in Winnipeg. It was a story of violence and abuse and as it progressed, the film revealed the despair which the woman in the story had suffered over a period of 13 years! She finally sought help because at that point she felt in danger of her life and the lives of her children. Subsequent episodes when the woman discussed her life with a counsellor were particularly poignant as they indicated the degree of helplessness and loss of self- respect which had developed over the years. In comparison, her husband revealed himself to be completely lacking in insight and totally unaware of his attitudes. The ensuing discussion which followed was subdued, especially when it was also revealed that the loneliness of the victim had been accentuated by lack of support from family and friends, as well as fear and ignorance with regard to seeking legal assistance. In conclusion, Mrs. Taylor, told of tae work of the Crisis Centre which now operates from a house run by the Men- nonites. She stressed the need for this type of shelter, where those in need could take their children and seek help, support, advice and sustenance. Mrs. Taylor also reminded her audience that although she was an Anglican, the work undertaken at the Cen- tre, and at the After Crisis Centre, recently opened in Goderich, was shared by all denominations, as the challenge of the task was one which extended to all Christians. Helen Owen thanked the speaker for the film and the accompanying talk which, she said, had brought home to her listeners the very real and horrific situations which ex- isted, and added that they too would like to help on a practical basis. For this purpose she handed Mrs. Taylor a cheque as a con- tribution towards the worthwhile work which was being undertaken. Queen Stickers available free from Monarchists Dear Editor, The Monarchist League of Canada is an organization which seeks to explain to Canadians the value of constitutional monarchy, and to defend vigorously the Crown from both the misinformation and attack which occasionally surround it.

Accordingly we invite your readers to request their com- plimentary sheet of 30 'Queen of Canada° stickers by writing to: The Monarchist League of Canada, 2 Wedgewood Crescent, Ottawa, Ontario I1IB 484.
