Despite severe drought over much of Southwestern On- tario, agricultural jobs account for much of the increase. Huron County employment centres in Goderich and Exeter placed more than 2,000 students in temporary or part-time jobs. Almost 1,300 of those were agriculture related, says Helen Macln- tyre, student placement officer in Goderich. "That's where our largest percentage of (summer) jobs always come from," Maclntyre said Thursday. The summer job placement offices closed for 1988 on Friday, with placement officers callig it their best year so far. The statistical goal for placements was reached by July. Job vacancies and placements increas- ed 15 per cent over 1987 figures. Ontario's healthy economy also meant registration at the two centres was down by six per cent, from 1,799 in 1987 to 1,686 this sum- mer. " Maclntyre also said many students were able to find their own jobs easily. "Since the economy has been so good this summer, a lot of the students were able to find jobs without our help...a lot of post secondary students have also re- maieled in the cities to find employment." While agricultural summer jobs in the London and Sarnia areas were decimated by the drought, Maclntyre said that was not the case in Huron County. But she also said the nature of the work shifted, and many farmers, especially in the southern part of the county, were hir- ing students for stonepicking and other jobs not related to crop production. "You don't need a lot of rain for the stones to grow." Last week, student placement Wiper,: in London, Wallaceburg and Sarnia all said the drought had cost area students hundreds of jobs, as many as 20 per cent of the usual placements, according to the London Free Press. But in Huron County, agricultural jobs jumped from 972 last year to 1,286 in 1988. Maclntyre said other outdoor jobs, however, were affected by the unusually dry weather. Personal householdjobs (lawn cutting, yardwork and so on) decreased from 341 last year to 203, mainly because grass just wasn't growing. Jobs in both the trades (up to 132 from 108) and in the food, beverage and ac- comodation industries (down to 109 from 125) remained relatively stable. Maclntyre also said she had no ex- planation for the decline in manufactur- ing and construction job placements, which fell to 108 this summer from 341 last year. Transition team helps farmers find markets Cantaloupes and buckwheat could be good sources of income for Ontario farmers sear- ching for alternative crops, according to a study conducted for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. V "The study shows there is potential for ex- pansion in several areas," said Arthur Loughton, manager of the ministry's Tran- sition Crop Team (TCT). The TCT ,was established in 1986, to work with farmers and farm groups to identify and support new crops with the potential to be produced pro- fitably in Ontario. The latest study, done by .Stevenson Kellogg Ernst and Whinney, looks at the potential for seven crops: buckwheat, melons, sweet white lupins, pumpkins, squash, birdfeed ingredients and flowers, both field -grown and fresh -cut, as well as bulbs and dried flowers. The report, entitled Windows of Market Opportunity for Selected Ontario -Grown Transition Crops, shows that cantaloupes are becoming an increasingly popular item with Ontario consumers. During the sum- mer, t,ntarians consume 13 times as many imported melons as domestic. If quality, packaging and pre -cooling to prolong shelf - life are emphasized, an increase of over $15 -million a year might be achieved by replacing imports during our production season, the report says. There is a good export market for large - seeded buckwheat. Japan alone imports nearly 200 -million pounds a year, Europe another 55 -million. A high-quality crop and development of an export -oriented marketing organization for large -seeded varieties could bring Ontario farmers over $2 -million a year in additional production.
