Gaunt Calls For
Farm Assistance
In Eastern Ontario
Murray Gaunt., M.P.P. Huron-
Bruce the Liberal Agriculture
Critic , to-day called for the Ont-
ario Government to designate
EasterTIOntarto farm lands a -dis-
aster area.
"The heavy rainfall in the past
two months in South Carleton,
Dundas, Prescott-Russell and
Glengarry Counties means that
most of the crops in those areas
are without harvest potential" ,
he stated. He noted •that many
farmers have already started to
sell their cattle herds' as they
cannot afford to purchase feed.
"I have been told that hay is sell-
ing at $1.50'per bale in some
areas" , Mr. Gaunt said, "which
is beyond the reach of all farm-
ers."
