Many at the meeting felt that warble' fly sprayers and in- spectors were not properly trained and minified for the job. It was also noted that the warble fly cycle seems to be zhaneing and the warbles are coming out later in the year (July or Atigust) and thus are being missed with spring Spraying. The whole question was referred to the resolvtion committee which will draft a resolution for a later meeting. One resolution was passed at the -meeting. It was drafted by Adrian Vos of BI•fth after he noted the comvlainc in a re:ient ne.vspaper article from south- western Ontario that there was a market for Canadian canned foods in the Carribean but there were no licensed trucking companies in the area to carry the goods to port and Toronto-based truck- ers would not cane to southwest- ern Ontario for less than full loads. It was noted that the first orders from the Carribean would be Iess than a truck load until the buyers were satisfied with the Canadian product. Under the present conditions, it is difficult to get the goods to the Carribean so the buyers turn to U.S. suppliers. Mr. Vos' resolution asked for an investigation of the Ontario Highway Transport Boarl 'or its refusal to grant- a license to sdaihwestern Ontario truckers to carry the goods and thus block- ing the markets 'for Canadian farm products. Guest speaker at the meeting was H, B. Wallace, safety con- sultant with the London Branch of the Ministry of Transport and Communications. He told the audience that there was no such thing as an accident except an act of God. He said, that all accidents are collisions caused by: (a) lack of keowledge; (b) unsafe acts or , (c) unsafe con- ditions. Use of the term acci- dent, he said, meant people were trying to fool themselves into thinking these colli§ions could not have bean prevented.

In ;eneral, the number of farms 'eporting each class of livestock ind poultry has declined taste: hat has the total number of 4 farms, so that the proportion of farms reporting each class of livestock or poultry has declindd from that shown in the 1966Cen- sus. For Canada as a whole the only exceptions to this trend are geese and ducks. There were fewer- farm s. _repullOg. teese in .19'71 than in 190' an-119118g the • proportion of farms with geese increased. There was an In-. crease in the number of farms reporting ducks.

Total cattle in Canada in- reased by 3.0 per cent from 2.9 million in 1968 to 13.3 aillion in 1971. At the same ime a decline in cows and hei- ers, 2 years and over, milking T to be milked declined by 5.7 per cent from 2.7 million in 966 to 2.3 million in 1971. This eduction in the Canadian milking erd was more than offset by an ncrease of 17.6 per cent in the ember of cows,ancl heifers, two `ears and over, being raised for tier purposes, presumably beef. 4- 'he number of such cows and Leiters increased from 3.0 pillion in 1966 to 3.5 million n 1971. This shift in emph- sis from dairy to beef was 'epoxied in every province. *- The number of cattle reported n feed as of January 1 increased rom 1.8 Million in 1966 to 2.1 . nillion in 1971, a rise of 16.6 er cent.

On a national basis, the average flock size increased from 47 to 61 sheep between 1966 and 1971. The number of horses on farms In Canada continued to decline between 1966 and 1971 but at a slower rate than in the previous 5 years. In Ont- ario and British Columbia, the number of horses increased. All provinces showed an increase In the number of horses per farm reporting and there was a con- tinued increase in the total num- ber of horses reported on farms In 13ritish Columbia. The total number of horses reported on farms in 1971 was 354 thou- Sand compared with 38'7 thou- sand in 1966,- a reduction of 8.5 per cent compared with a decline of 24.4 per cent between 1961 and 1966. The number of goat's reported in 19'71 declined from 18 thousand on 4,529 farms, from the 1961 figures of 23 thousand, on 7,765 farms. Farmers were not asked to report goat numbers in 1966. The. number of hens and chick- ens reported on farms in Can- ada rose from 75.6 million' in 1966 to .87.5 million in 19'71, an increase of 15.7 per cent. This was an acceleration from the B.'1 per cent increase in the pre- vious 5 years. Increased num- bers of hens and chickens were reported in all provinces except Saskatchewan and Alberta. The number of farms reporting hens, and chickens dropped from 177 thousand in 1966 to 120 thousand in 1971, 'a reduction of 32.4 per cent. The trend to fewer and larger flocks which was, ev- ident from 1961 to 1966 thus con- tinued at a faster rate. Aver- age flock size for Canada in 1971 was 732 birds compared with 428 in 1966 and 262 in 1961. The number of turkeys on farms in Canada increased from 9 million in 1966 to 9.5 million in 1971. In the same period the number of farms reporting turkeys declined from 21,309 to 13;414. Increased numbers of, turkeys on.farms in NovaScotia, Quebec and British Columbia more than offset declines in other provinces. No farms in New- foundland reported turkeys in Newfoundland in 1971 although 13 farms did so in 1966. The aVerage flock size for farms reporting turkeys In Canada ih- creased from 421 in 1966 to 711 in 1971. There were .417 thousand geese reported by 14,021 farmers in 1971 compared with 340 th-' ousand geese on 15,922 farms in 1966. The number' of geese on a There is an endless variety of equipment invented by man or provided by nature in the name of outdoor cooking. Think of the warmth of a campsite fire far away from home or of the fam- iliar backyard grill. The pop- ' ularity of outdoor cooking has been brought indoors with hi- bachis that can be used in fire- place§ oxivith electrically-Pow- ered grills and artificial coals. For most people, though, being outdoois is the male' enjoyment. • Feasts for crowds, have been traditional in Hawaii with the luau, where a whole pig is roast- ed under the ground. In Canada, it is becoming increasingly pop- ular to roast a suckling pig on a spit over open coals. However, where open fires are banned or restricted, a small propane camp stove Is . practical fur cooking small cuts. Home economists suggest using 1/4 or 1,'2 inch pork chops for pan frying over a camp stove. Thicker chops, about 1 inch th- ick,. are best for cooking over the coals ,of barbetue:- Snip the fat edges - of the chops be- fore cooking.- When using a fry pan, rub it with the fat cut frbm the chops. Brown the 1/2 inch chops' over medium-high heat 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium and contin- ue cooking about 3 .minutes per side. Brown and cook the th- inner chops over medium heat 2 minutes per side. If you are cooking the 1-inch thick pork chops over the coals, they should be cooked slowly, about 20 min- utes per side, and brushed with a marinade or sauce during the last five minutes .of cooking. Barbecued or p.anfried pork chops are delicious served on toasted buns and topped with chili sauce or hot mustard. Pork- burgers anyone? Potatoes important crop NEWS OF One of the most satisfying types of potato which is available only in late summer, is the tiny almost• marble-sized, new potato. When freshly 'dug, quickly boiled, and seasoned well, there is noth- ing to match them. To know whether you are buy- ing new potatoes, check the bag. Until September 16th, the term -sinew" will appear on the bag, as well as the grade name Cana- da No. 1. This allows new Pota- toes having diameters as small as 1 7/8 Inch to be sold; theY would be too small to meet the regulations for sale later ort.
