If vie want to get across What we want to say, we're going to have to pay for it", said Bailey. He suggested small ads stating such things as: '.Last week farmers in Ontario got 21 cents, per quart for milk" or "There are three cents worth of wheat in a loaf of bread". Mr. B,ley said ' he would eventually -Pike to see legislation to bring in cost plus a percen- tage mark-up in food pricing. In this way, he said, the more a manufacturer paid for a farm product, the more he could charge. Thus the trend would be to pay more to the,farmer so that those along the line in pro- cessing could make more money. The resolution asked for help in financing the campaign from the different commodity groops in the province since it was felt the OFA alone could not afford the cost of 'such a campaign. reetors reacted bitterly to th news that Huron County Council had 'refused to support a resolution from Perth County calling for legislation to stop the importation. of , "cheap beef" from Australia and New Zealand. But it wasn't so much the failure- to approve the resolut- ion that had the members of the farm group angry, but the re- marks made by some council- lors in turning the resolution. down. Heaviest criticism was di- rected to a remark by William ElSton, reeve of Morris TOW11,- shipy-Who - claimed importing-- and- exporting was a two-way street. He was quoted in newspaper ac- counts of the council session as saying 40 per cent of the hogs produced in Canada were expor- ted. Jack Stafford, president of the federation said he had seen the quote in the paper and hoped' it. was a misprint: He said the figure should have been more like four per cent. Other speak-• ers were equally appalled' bythe figure • and the implications they' felt it would have on the general public. ,(Figures supplied by the Department of Agriculture and Food show about•500,000 hogs of the total number of 10 million hogs produced in the country are exported, approximately five per cent). Members were also incensed over the remark of Tuckersmith reeve Elgin Thompson who had said, "We've never had it so good." ' "Do both of these gentlemen's wives work?" wondered vice- president Mason Bailey. President Stafford said that 1.f_ this was good, it looked as if farmers had a, long., tough road ahead. BILL O'SHE MEN'S WEAR Maple syrup IS expensive be- cause of the large amount 'of sap and the,lengthy process re- quired to convert clear sap to the finished syrup. Not every maple tree is suitable for tapping. Of the sev- en species of maple growing in Ontario, only twa are commer- cially importatl the hard sugar maple and the black maple, although red maples and silver maples are sometimes tapped. -Trees are tapped at the be- ginning of the sap running season, when temperatures drop below freezing at night, but the follow- ing days are warm and sunny. This .usually occurs sometime between the end of February and the middle of March. It is a short season of three to six weeks, and is the only time that sap can. be collected.. The sap flows at its 'own , pace, very slowly, a drop at a time. It takes 30 to 40 gallons of sap to make a single gallon of Maple syrup. That is as much sap as a good maple tree yields for the entire season. After the sap has beeh gath- ered, it is strained to remove impurities, then condensed into maple syrup in a covered evap- orator. The sugar content rises from about 2.4%,cin the raw sap to the required 65% for maple syrup. .The syrup is held at a carefully controlled temperature for bottling or canning in order to prevent discoloration, loss of flavor, and mold formation. Top- quality maple' syrup is crystal clear, light amber in Attawapiskat, Provincial I. 0. D. E, project marking the 50th Anniversary.
