Farmers can post No Trespassing signs with- out obtaining pet'missiott from the minister concerned. As a matter of fact anyone who comes on your property without permission except in the normal course of his business can be charged with trespass whether signs are posted or not. Hope this cleat's up any confusion that may have been created. The continual irritation of land expropriation is still with the farmer. At a recent meeting of Federa- tion tieldmen it was revealed that the taking of easements for drilling for gas or oil are not necessarily *hat seem to be. It was indicated that while these operators would not be -dis- appointed to find oil or gas, it may well be that they are simply looking for a hole in the ground, This underground cavern may then be used for the storage of natural gas supplies to meet heavy winter requirements. They tell us they could even be used -to store tomato catsup. Apparent- ly it is possible to blow a plastic covering into the cavity, pour in the catsup with free refrigera- tion guaranteed, and pump it up as required. What next? Be careful when you drill a well. You might end up with cat- sup, chicken seep, beer, or even water. The point for the farmer to watch is the compensation for storage rights. This little matter apparently fails to appear on some of the contract forms. In closing some interesting fi- gures on 1061 came my way, ;Farm cash income (1960) 2,702 million; (1961) 2,798' million, an increase of 3.6%,. Net farm income, (1960) 1,188 million; (1961) 909 million, a de- crease of 23.4%. Since there were 9,000 fewer farmers the decrease in net in- come would he slightly less than 23.4%p. Salaries and wages increased frons 18,119 millions to 18,884 mil- lions. CARLILE HOUSTON Carlile Houston, 77, of Goder- ich, former Stanley township councillor, died Wednesday at Goderich.
