for the pages to bring them numerous glasses of water and purchase chocolate bars, peanuts
and carmels from the local C.N.I.B. booth. Here Hugh Edighoffer, Perth Mppdelivers a
glass of iced water to the leader of the official opposition.

"I haven't read the fine print

Major recommended changes

Hot Weather. Comes
• Hot weather can cause animal
deaths, says Garnet Norrish,
Swine Specialist with the. Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food.
A hog loses exceSS heat
through air mov,ement around the
body, radiation from the body and
through breathing. When the body
produces more heat than can be
dispelled, the body temperature
rises. At 100 degrees, a hog„,.
would have to take 20 more
breaths a minute than it would at
80 degrees to cool its body to the
same level. The average body
heat of a hog, is 102.5 degrees.
When it reaches 105 to 106 de:-
grees, heat exhaustion and death
can occur. •
'MT. Norrish says' a combin-
ation of high humidity and high
temperature cart be especially
dangerous far hogs 'being trans-
ported. The number of transit
deaths will increase substan-
tially. For this reason, he gives
•
the following tips to farmers
transporting hogs in hot weather.
- Try to ship the hogs in
early morning to avoid the heat
of the day. .
Use 'a suitable bedding and -
wet it down before loading. Don't
use straw since it tends to act "
as insulation. Wet sand is one
measure.
- Always try to Minimize
stress on the hogs during the
Various stages Of shipping.
- Limit the_ number of hogs
to allow for freer air circul-
ation.
- Ensure proper ventilation in
the transport vehicle.
- When stopping for any
reason, try to leave the vehicle
in the shade or where it can take
advantage of air currents.
As well as lowering swine
deaths, says Mr. Norrish, these
steps will ensure the animals
arrive at market in good con-
dition.

The true north, strong and free ...
and together. How do we keep it
that way?
Well, the first step is for each
of us to begin to understand our
fellow Canadians. They may live a
thousand miles away. .They may
speak a different language. They
may be Canadians, not by birth but
by choice. And the more differeift
they are, the, more understanding
they -need,
That's easy to say. But how
do we do it?
• Well, if'we want to keep our
country. together, we hove to un-
derstand that some Canadians
need more help than others. That
we cannot solve our problems un-
less we help a-lot of Cdncidiaris to
catch up.
Is that too- much to ask? May-
be we're stretched so thin from east
to west that all we're capable of is
caring only about ourselves in our
own little backyard. But you know
something . . if we ever let bur
country come apart our own little
backyard may be left standing there
pretty lonely and confused. And
then where are we?
It's not easy to understand the
other fellow. Especially if some-
times it seems as though he doesn't
understand you. •Yet one thing, is
su're. There are a lot more people
who want to understand and want
to keep Canada together than
those who would tear it apart, But
it's' going to take time and we've
got to start now.
If we don't, what will weever
say to our children and their child-
ren when they ask us, "Where were
you when there was still a chance
to save Canada?"

Ontario's 1971 winter wheat
acreage has been reduced by an
estimated '0% because of winter
and spring weather damage.
K. A. Standing, secretary
manager of the Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board re-
leased results of board surveys
which indicate a wide variance in
damage..
He said reports range from
nil to 50% and it would appear
the hardest hit areas were in
Lambton, Norfolk and Huron
which experienced about 14%, 20%
and 13% damage respectively.
The two most southerly and
larges producing counties,
Essex and Kent experienced about
7% and 8% damage respectively.
Mr. Standing said damage was
caused by several factors which
included some of the usual

winterkill caused by smothering
effects of either snow, ice or
water, drying winds and snow
mold caused by prolonged snow
cover. -
In projecting what the-damage
means in terms of acres, Mr.
Standing said that based on the
Ontario Department of Agri-
culture and Food official estimate
of seeded acreage last fall of
375,000 acres for the province, it
could be assumed that about
370,000 acres remain for
harvest. The government did not
conduct its usual May survey this
year.
Last year, according to
government estimates, the total
acreage harvested was 355,000
which averaged 43.9 bushels per
acre for a total production vol-
ume of 15,584,500 bushels.
The board official said that on
the ,basis of the last ten year
average yield of 39.6 bushels per
acre, "production would total about
14.6 million bushels this year.
However, if last years yields
were repeated,. production' could
total over 16'million bushels.
Average production , for the
past ten year period was .1.5.9
million bushels.•
Mr. Standing said in addition
to the weather damage reports,
there have been reports of wheat
yellowing in the last two or three
weeks. The condition is caused
by mosaic virus which causes
yellowing of. the lower leaves of
the plants and results from cool
weather and rapid growth.
With improved growing -con-
ditions the disease normally dis-
appears.
The greatest cold cure
ever invented is payday,
says our somewhat cynical
boss.
