Instead of three or four farmers owning all the land there would be more farmers farming smaller farms which means there would be more people to sup- port the businesses and schools in the com- munity.

Farm Women, has published a book documenting the unique financial and psycho- logical stresses facing to- day's farm family. The group hopes to make both rural and urban people more aware .of their struggles and chal- lenges since this dwindling minority of four per cent is responsible for the country's entire food production. Entitled "The Farmer Takes a Wife", the book is the result of a study on farm women, recently undertaken by Concerned Farm Women. A 31 -page questionnaire was sent to 600 farm women in Bruce and Grey Counties, the data of which was prepared for computer analy- sis during the fall of 1982. In December, five farm women were hired to analyse and disseminate the survey find- ings and prepare a manu- script for a book: Although the research foc- ussed on one area -of Ontario. author Gisele Ireland sus- pects the findings will strike a response in fart women across the country. The financial crisis, and the farm women's response to It, has exemplified the challenges facing farm women today and The Farmer Takes a Wife" documents these struggles and challenges. Chapters 1 and 2, "Life on the Farm" and"'Farm Oper- ations", cutline the activities of a typical day for the farm women, whether it be house- work, child-rearing or work- ing at her husband's side in the barn or on the fields. Chapter 3, "Finances", out- lines with statistical charts, the difficult financial situa- tion in which farm families find themselves, especially in thelast few years• when interest rates soared. Chap- ters 4 and 5, "Husbands" and "Children", emphasize the strong bond between farmer and wife, not just as a married couple but as work- ing and business partners. The farmer's children learn the value, of hard work and dose family ties at an early age. In the final chapters, "Careers" and "The Farm Woman and Stress'', the survey indicates that farm women "felt comfortable in their profession and took pride in what they produced. Only 11% of the women surveyed indicated a desire to leave the farm even though 17% felt they were going to lose all or part of their farm in 1982." The actual survey is in- cluded in the 70 -page soft - covered book which will retail at 54. The book was published with the assistance of the Canada Employment and Immigration Commis- sion, Health Promotion Dir- ectorate of Health, and Wel- fare Canada, the United Church of Canada Block grant and P,L.U.R.A. and is available .by writing Con- cerned Farm Women, Box 457, Chesley, Ontario.
