Agrinotr s
(By Adrian Vos)
We often hear people talk,
in connection of food shortages
in India that we shouldn't help
them until they take care of
their useless holy cows and of
limiting their large families.
Before we pass judgement we
shoulctake a look at our own
holy cows first. We don't have
any? Oh yes, we do. How
many of us who are not from
European extraction will eat
eels or how many from any
background will eat snakes?
Not many, but it is an excell-
ent source of protein and very
tasty. How many of us would
eat dogmeat. It is an excellent
food, but we prefer to keep
them as pets and when we are
tired of them we send them to
the humane society for destruc-
tion.
Is there any difference with
India's holy cows? After this we
compare family planning. In
their eyes, religious objections
to birth control niay be compl-
etely silly. Let's go back to
somewhat less than a century
in our own country and we see
that the earlier people were
in the same position that many
of the, in our eyes, backward
people, are now.
When there is no old age
security and no eventide home
for the elderly, what must one
do? There must be enough
children to take care of thein,
for they are in fact the old age
pension of the parents. So in
order riot to starve when one
gets old, a large family is a
necessity. Most times it has to
be large because of the high
dead rate among the very young
Ald age security is a must bef-
ore parents can begin limiting
their families, and this social
security can only be achieved
when a country is wealthy
enough to pay for it.
At the Farmers Week in Walk-
erton last week, Eric Winkler
of the Ontario Cabinet, conced-
ed that, in order to help pay for
the cost incurred by the Bruce
Nuclear Development, the
county would have to attract
more secondary industry after
the peak period for employment
in the construction passes. It
appears that Bruce County is
now in a vicious circle of more
industry, more cost and yet
more industry. Before long they
will be paying taxes comparable
to Toronto, all in the name of
what some call "progress."

gentle with
fr ze hrich s
of trees, shrubs
A tree is a tower of strength --
except when it is frozen and
brittle.
To avoid injuring frozen
trees and shrubs, especially
evergreens, handle them
gently when removing snow and
ice. Brush off the snow and
prop up ice -laden branches
until melting begins. •
Carefully help branches back
into place when they have been
weighed down by snow or ice.
"Remember, rough, sudden
shading can cause branches to
snap, " warns Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food hortic-
ulturist D.B. McNeill, "so
be gentle!"
If evergreens are wrapped in
twine or plastic mesh with
branches pointing upward, the
snow and ice will slip off more
readily and will not need to be
removed so frequently, he
suggests.
