Moisture is ern -, the waste that accumulates beneath the cages by fans and vents that form part of the climate control system. This renders the operation virtually odor-free. The latest in automated equipment places feed and water in troughs running the length of the building. Canvas belts carry the eggs into an ajacent building where they are packed with a minimum of labor. From there the eggs are sent to a central plant where they are washed, -graded, packaged and shipped, ready for the supermarket -shelf within a day. A farm manager and two part-time employees run an operation that produces 26,000 eggs per day. (Photographs by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food.) CONSTANCE In Britain The wide gulf which divided the United Kingdoin and the Euro- pean Economic Community's agricultural support policies is being narrowed by the new Brit- ish Conservative Government's move•to bring about changes in its agricultural support program according to Henry C. Pauls, Director, Ontario House, Ontario Food Council in London, England. High subsidization of United Kingdom agricultural products • is being replaced by external 'tariff, proteCtion against imports. The current agricultural sup- port program .(ame,unting to 280 million pounds in '1969) is char- acterized by deficiency payments on cereals, guaranteed'prices on potatoes, and on a specific gal- lonage of milk, and final adjust.: ment prices on beef, sheep; and pigs paid on a biweekly 'basis. Horticulture is largely unsubsi- dized except on an indirect basis.. About half of Britain's subsidiza- tion cost goes into direct price support and the other half is • paid in grants and subsidies on a wide range of items. This system is to be replaced by levies on food imports. Simi- lar to the Community, these taxes will be variable and based on target prices fixed for each com- modity at an annual review. The • big difference between •the pro- posed Conservative policy and that .of the EEC is that the Con- servatives plan to maintain guar- antees at fall-back levels instead of 'using, the expensive support buying 'practice, in the Com- munity. The British Government • will pay farmers the difference if, in spite of external tariffs, prices fall below the targets agreed upon at the annual review. The EEC, on. the other hand, declares a state of grave cri- sis if prices for farm products fall below target prices on three consecutive days and begins sup- port buying the products at about 7 per cent below the target price and disposing of it' by various means; including subsidization ^ for export, diversion to alterna- tive uses such as cattle' feed, or simply destroying the pro- duct. These changes in British ag- ricultural policy whether or not Britain gains entry to the EEC are important to the future of Ontario's food exports, the change from production subsi- dization to external tariffs, will; most probably force food prices up on an overall basis. Since the levies will be var- iable and based on a target price fixed annually -for each com- modity, they wil 'tend to be sel- ective against certain food im- ports. Ontario will face addit- fi tonal barriers on products which Britain can produce in abundance and whicli the Government here is encouraging farmers to pro- duce in larger quantities. Brit- ish production, and if possible, self-sufficiency is encouraged in daily products, Meat (beef, pork, lamb, and poultry), cereals and potatoes. Thege - developments are • a first step towards integrating Britain's policies with those of the EEC, in preparation for full membership. If and when Brit- ain joins, these trends will be further reinforced. • British membership in the EEC will mean a further rat- ionalization pf food pr ices. Since, at present, there is a 19 to 24 per cent differential between those In the Community and the United Kingdom on joining;' food prices in the British market would increase and come gener- ally into line with those in EEC countries. This could be an ad- vantage to Ontario since it would tend to make its products more competitive. Should Britain pin the Com= mon Market all Commonwealth preferential tariffs would be lost by Canada and ether Common- wealth, and former Common- wealth countries. Ontario would then offer its agricultural pro- ducts for export to the United Kingdom in direct competition with the United States. The aim of the EEC is free trade between members and self- sufficiency in agricultural pro- duction where possible. To rea- lize its goal, a selective influ- ence 'Would be placed on pro- dUcts imported from Ontario, with levies and trade barriers against those products which the EEC produces in abundance or has in- sulus from time to time. But, in products which 7 cannot be roduced in volume by the EEC, all restrictive trade barriers should eventually, dis- appear, giving 0,ntatio producers tariff-free access to even greater markets in the enlarged Com- munity. _ . As far as Ontario is con- cerned present trends in the United,. Kingdom's agricultural policy and in its application to join the CoMmon Market mean on the one hand, an increase in food prices, but on the other, a termination of Commonwealth preferential tariffs. While exter- nal import tariffs represent an additional barrier for some Ont- ar/b. food prodUcts, they mean the possible removal of all res- trictionsian other products.

If the basic finish is still good, these pieces can •be restored very easily. First, wash off as much sur- face dirt as possible with a mild detergent and warm water. Then, remove the remaining layers of dirt and grime with turpentine or paint thinner, applied freely and rubbed with a cloth. •This will dissolve old oil and wax. When the surface -is clean, wipe it dry and apply an oil-based furniture polish. This method, however, Is only successful when the basic. finish,, is in good conditiori.' Much of the , old furniture you are.likely.to find in attics 'or secondhand' stores will' require a complete refinishing treatment before it will be ready for use. Wednesday, March 10 -1:00 P.M.
