L.
Knew a dairy farmer some years ago who eventually
left the farm and became a teacher.
He made more money as a teacher and didn't have to
work every day of the year.
He had a theory, though, that should be investigated.
He was an amateur singer in.a male quartet. His theory
• was that when he sang to his Holsteins, they gave more
milk. Dairymen know how measurements of producti
must be kept.
This amateur singer and his father—who laughed at
the theork—kept the records .for six months. The ion
had recorde^d proof of his theofy: Singing to the cattle
as they were milked did increase production perceptab-
ly, not markedly.
Many dairy farmers have a radio in the barn but this
theory indicated that a solo voice, live and real within
the barn, did a better job. Mind you, he was a good sin-,
ger with a deep, resonant bass voice. He was not a rock-
and-roll vocalist. Iti4t, his tastes ran to opera and fine
sacred music.
Few dairy farmers could affordrto hire a full-time
singer to increase prodUction. Maybe the Canada Coun-
cil or the Ontario Arts CouncircouId be persdaded to
hand out a few gtants at the grass roots level. It cer-
tainly seems easier to .get money for •hare-brained sche-
mes than for legitimate reasons.
Farmers need a break. Agriculture's importance as
an employer has declined in recent years. Big invest-
ments, larger firms, more mechanization have cut the
need for farm labor. But the importance of farming
should not be underestimated.
When the economy is in a downswing, farm prices al-
ways decline faster and further than other prices. This
affects the entire economy.
But rural economic strength should be safeguarded
for a lot of reasons. Rural prosperity is needed to stabil-
ize a great y comm es in the boondocks because
there ar few, if any, alternative sources of income in
those ar as,
Agri ulture is different from any other segment of
the ec nomy and -separate policy-making attention is
