Clinton News-Record, 1961-06-08, Page 10Page 1.4-x41inton News-Rocord- Thursday, Juno 8, 1961 Who Does Government Subsidize? Certainly Not JUST The farmer! CABII NOWAY) Plans are wider way for the annual meeting of Zone 6, Fed- eration et Agriculture. The feature of the program will be a panel discussion under the ehairvn'anehip of Gordon Greig, Wroxeter. The topic will be "How to get snore money for the Ontario farrier," From marks re- marks I have been. :)searing With increasing frequency it would appear to be a timely subject, From government Statsties, loans for faun improvement are instreasing. In 1960 they am- oiu ed to $101.8 million and the government is increasing the amount available for this pur- pose from 300 million to 400 million. About 80 percent of the,loans for 1960 were for the purchase of farm machinery, This .am- ounxted to roughly $70 million in. 1959 which is :the latest figs ure I have :at the moment. On this basis, it was the govern- ment that paid for the new farm equipment in 1960. Hew- ever, I realize that there must have been increased sales an 1960 because undoubtedly some farmers were able to pay for the equipment they bought, but not very many. Just where are we heading? I can remember whentractors started corning into this dist- rict. In those days the farmers; to a very -large extent paid for the tractor when it arrived, The rest probably gave a short .term note for a small balance. They used their past savings to pay for this new equipment. Now the tractor is worn out FARMERS We are shipping cattle every Monday for United Co-operative of Ontario and solicit your patronage, We will pick them up at your farm.

The second one has used up his' credit. How is he going to buy the next one? It is rather amusing to hear the criticism of government subsidies to farmers in the light of 'the above. I wonder 'who govt the benefit of this farm improvement money? If the money had not been available the farmer would have gotten by somehow with the old ma- chinery. True, he wouldn't have produced as much but then he Wouldn't have had to face sur- pluses, What about the mach- inery companies? Their sales would have been cut perhaps by more than half, I wonder who is subsidizing who? How can we change this sit- uation? According to an article in a recent Chatelaine Magazine it appears that the women of In- dia are bringing about a great change for the better. Perhaps we men have been running the show too long. I doubt that our tax bill would be aimost three times our •food bill if the wo- men were spending the money with the same care that they devote to their food budget. Take Care When You Mow Lawn Grass doesn't necessarily benefit from mowing: it is only beneficial if the leaves are so long that they ,bend over and smother the grass underneath. But snowing does improve the appearance of the lawn. The mower should be sharp, advises Prof. J. C. Taylor, De- paxitment of Horticulture, OAC. If a dull mower is used, the tips of the grass leaves are bruised and the lawn looks brown. Also, young and poorly rooted seedlings may be pulled pp by a dull mower. Mow new grass before it be- comes so long that it will not stand up by itself; it may be clipped lightly when it is about 2% inches high. With established lawns, don't clip to less than 1% inches. But cut often enough, so that not over one inch of growth is cut at one time. If the erase: is cut after being allowed to :arrow too tall, the lower part will be bleached and unsightly. This grass will Make a long time to regain its green colour. The first clipping on new stands of grass should be lett on the ground; it acts' as a mulch. It rots quickly and at the same time keeps the ground moist and the young roots pro- tected, Mow the lavenr once or twice a week during the summer. This prevents heavy clippings re- maining, with a tendency to kill and smother the grass. Mow less often in shady spots and during hot weather.
