Our fond hope is, that we may continue to do so for a long time. We hope that society in this new year will come to their senses, and help us to conserve land that is so sorely needed in the future, not only to feed those that are starving now, but also to feed our own country when the population increases to the level that is predicted for the next twenty five years. We wish all of you, farmer and non -farmer alike, a healthy and prosperous New Year. We wish for an end to the troubled economic times and for an end to the crop disasters that plaguec this world in the last year. I wish us all working together to make this a better world to live in, with Faith and Hope and Charity. We as farmers have faith and hope, or else we wouldn't be farming, for the farmer is al- ways saying after a poor crop; "Well, next year has to be bet- ter, " Some even say that to be a farmer you have to have charity as well, for who else will give so much for so little. Did you know that Canada's trade balance with the world is as big as the farm exports? Yes, thats true. We export about 750 million of farm products and our favourable trade bal- ance is aboutthe same. I am proud to say that we, being only five percent of the popul- ation, make it possible for the other ninety five percent to have the high standard of living we enjoy. A good deal of the - credit for the efficiency of the Canadian farmer goes to the research work done by the var- ious levels of government and to the extension specialist from the ministries of agriculture and food, under the guidance of the Agricultural Represenatives. Credit should go to the Canad- ian farmer for utilizing the advice he receives, so while the land is resting, many farm- ers will go to courses provided by those specialists, to be even more efficient than they are already 0 Celebrate birthdays On Saturday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Merrier, and Donna had as their dinner guests, Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Merner, Kitchener, Mrs. Luella Tieman, Mr. Joe Mern- er and Margaret, Dashwood, and Miss Liz Bartliff, of Cal- gary.
