' second, Ai barrel - length of • Nothing but a thorough search of all the reeords in all the registry offices areas this province would give a• n inVeStigatnr-a oIid idea Of the ahleritee owiterhip: , problem in Ontario. Many farmers, if you can believe the repOrts coming from the candidates' Meetings before the election, have great fears about foreign Ownership of farmlands. Huron County, for instance, is said to have considerable foreign . money invested in farmland. Perth Cotnity farmers, have the same fears, These fears were expressed duringthe election campaign although nobody seemed to think the' problem..was too setious. Yet That is a big tkree-letter word: Yet. Because the Canadian dollar has been hovering around the 85 -per -cent mark for many months, Canada has become an attractive investment market for money' from all over the world. Is isn't just yankee money this time. It's money from Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Italy and the United States, too. Maybe it is time a study was made. Foreign ownership, is insidious. Itstarts with a few hundred acres here and a few hundred there until, suddenly, fin more land is available th serious farmers wishing to' eicpand.-Eventually huge parcels are no longer owned by lamIly farmers. Then, those •foreign owners can control the very breadbasket of the nation. Ways and means to fight this insidiousness are available. For one thing, a. solid land -use policy in Ontario would help' considerably. This writer has for many years decried the present system whereby the best farmland in the. country canbe buried under highways, Power ' Corridors; shopping plazas, sUbdivisions and that .Mon- sfrosity now being allowed by the province north of Toronto called Canada's Wonderland; Heck, in a decade that area will have lost about. 1,000 acres of firmlknd to this Leisure World and ap. the ancillary outlets connected, with a Disneyland of the mirth. : , Instead• of a. toothless Green Paper Ptlicy, let's designate thebest farmland now and make it 1;0 damned difficult to desecrate lii;t4evelOpers wiH think twice about t•Aking, it over. . We cguld, also severely restrict foreign ownership • farmland, a Method which seems to be working.in firitiSh Columbia and A couple 0. the Atlantic previnces, t • understand Some. people itt, the Maritintes wereARettIng greatly, concerned about foreign ownership 'So. the provinces xiid something about it. • This would be another way of helping to preserve the family farth which, in my view, is the most efficientway, :of Producing food every devised by 'man. It is certainly no secret. even to Soviet officials, that private -food plots in. Russia consistently out -produce the state-owned collective farms. But it seems few people give a fiddler's flatulence whether farmland disappears or not. In reading some of the weekly papers frOm.across Ontario daring the .election campaign, I made it A point toferret but concern. Only a handful of voters broached the subject and 1 read papers published from Ouderieh, 'attd Dresden toItorluel$# Marmora and Perth.• • Am lent of itep. with the rest PI the world?

"If farmland clisaPPeara, We'll start growing grain on rooftops," said the owner of a feedmill to me some years ago. "Why worry 'about it?, technology wili discover new. ways to grow food." , Maybe. But maybe not. I like to eat, It is a habit I picked up when I was only a few hours old andit has been wkth me now for mord than 50 years. It's a :tough habit to break.
