Clinton News-Record, 1971-05-27, Page 9Remember a year ago we were given the choice of inflation or
unemployment, well by the latest D.B.S. figures we have done even
better — we have both.
Now we are told that, if we don't get over our foolishness and
correct the situation, we will have wage and price controls.
This is a nice thought. We had wage and price controls during the
last war. However, "control" apparently meant "freeze". That is, at
a set date, wages and prices were pegged as of that date.
Kind of seems to me that any time now would be an opportune
time for such a move. Most anybody that matters, the members of
parliament, organized labour and all the businesses and professions
that matter have gotten themselves into a favourable position. Those
on minimum wage and the unemployed are at a satisfactory level to
supply any increased labour needs economically for their employers,
Farm produce and retail prices should satisfy the powers that be so
why not price and wage "controls", meaning "freeze".
How else could it be done? Who have we that dares to evaluate
the worth of a man's labour? Generally it has been accepted that the
higher the level of education the higher the income. Also the greater
the responsibility for investment and equipment has affected income
directly.
Let us consider these in relation to the needs of people.
Medical doctors seem to require the most expensive and
prolonged education. Therefore, they should have the highest
income, But is it true?
A few months ago on T.V. a medical doctor was telling of his
work in one of the more backward areas of Africa. He told of the
disease, sickness, high death rate of babies and mothers and the
premature aging and death of the people. But like so many of these
programs the most significant statement was probably missed by
most of the viewers. He concluded the interview by stating that 75
per cent of the medical work he did would have been unnecessary if
the people had an adequate food supply.
In other words, Canadian farmers, by supplying an adequate and
wholesome food supply, are doing three times as much at keeping
our population healthy as are our doctors, nurses and all our hospital
facilities.
In light of this, what should a farmer's income be?
But this is only the beginning. The first physical necessity of man
is food, followed by clothing and shelter. This made the "mighty
hunter" the top man in the community, for in many communities
the hunter provided all three. However, the supplying of food and ,
incidentally, clothing and shelter as a by-product, kept the whole
family busy.
Then the farmer appeared and civilization started to make
progress. Soon the farmer was able to provide more food than he
and his family needed.
At the Open House at the Agricultural College at Centralia this
Spring they displayed a picture depicting farming at the time when
one farmer provided enough food for his own and one other family
— a bushel' of wheat purchased a pair of the best work shoes you
could buy. How many bushels of wheat does it take to-day? This is
the reward the farmer has obtained for his modern efficiency.
Now a farmer provides food for 47 people. As a result, others
have time to go to school, to college, to work in factories and
manufacture all sorts of things that give us our high standard of
living. Should the farmer disappear, and the general idea of the
powers that be seems to be that the farmer is expendable, we will all
revert to dark ages.
Show me a country in poverty and ignorance and I will show you
a country where agricultural production is primitive.
wonder at what level the powers that be will fix the income of
the man who has increased his production more per man and has a
greater capital investment per man than any other industry?

"Even your interest

says
Red
Merriman
"The great thing about a Royal Bank Bonus
Savings Account is that it helps you make
more money — faster. It pays high interest,
and the interest is then added to your savings.
So every time your interest is calculated, it's
on your accumulated savings plus the ac-
cumulated interest you've already earned.
So it really begins to pile up.
Another thing — a Bonus Savings Account
is meant strictly for saving so you can't
write cheques. You can get your money. out
whenever you need to, but because you can't
write cheques, there's not the same tempta-
tion to nibble away at your savings,
So if you've got something special to save
for . . . a new home, a car, a trip . . . or you'd
like to put away a 'nest egg', a Royal Bank
Bonus Savings Account makes a lot of sense.
Because it makes saving a lot easier. And a
101:faster. Come on in and talk it over."

weekend.
Knox Presbyterian Church
opened on Sunday, May 23,
with between 40 and 50
members and visitors attending.
The church will remain open
until after Labour Day.
The service was conducted by
Mr. Lloyd Clifton.
Mrs. Chan of Wobristock
played the organ.
Sunday School teacher Miss
Winnifred Armstrong showed a
film to the children. This was
the first of a series of films for
the summer. It is felt that the
use of audio-visual material
increases the interest of the
children and helps in the
presentation of lessons.
This Sunday was the start of
an experimental ministry being
sponsored by Knox Presbyterian
Church this summer. It is felt
that the church can be relevant
to the summer residents and the
young, The emphasis this
summer will be on the
contemporary and casual aspects
of the church, To this end it is
to be hoped that the church will
be able to sponsor various
activities for people in Bayfield
and the surrounding area.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Latemer, Bill,
Gib and Gristy of Weston visited
with Mrs. Gel Knight over the
weekend.
Mr. Clare Woodrow of
Whitby visited with Mr. and Mrs.
D. Gemeinhardt for 10 days.
Bayfield's clerk Gordon
Graham spent .a week in
Goderich hospital but is back
home now and ready for
business as usual.
Mr. and Mrs. George H.
Durham, Jim and Ron, Clarkson,
spent the Victoria Day weekend
with his uncle, Carl and Mrs.
Diehl, and visited his mother
Mrs. M. Durham at Huronview.
Miss Kathleen Reed, Windsor,
was the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl E. Diehl at "The Hut" from
Thursday to Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Ross Merrill
spent Sunday and Monday
holidaying at Fenelon Falls and
travelling through the Kawartha
Lake District.
Experiments conducted at
the Canada Agriculture Research
Station at Lennoxville, Quebec
last summer show that farmers
can increase milk production by
nitrogen fertilization of pastures.
Gaspard Lalande, one of the
scientists conducting these
experiments, says the best
results were obtained from a
field which received 200 pounds
of nitrogen as a top dressing
during the summer.
The response was measured
by weighing the milk production
of eight dairy cows on a pasture
made up of approximately 75
per cent timothy and 25 per
cent Ladino clover.
The Right Reverend C. J.
Queen, Bishop of Huron,
announces the appointment of
the Reverend George
Youmatoff, S.Th., C.D., to be
the Incumbent of Trinity
Church, Bayfield, with St.
James' Church, Middleton,
He will begin his ministry on
September 1, succeeding the
Reverend E. J. B. Harrison, who
will be retiring at that time.
Mr. and Mrs. Youmatoff will
live in their own home in
Bayfield.
Mr. Youmatoff was born in
Helsingfors, Finland, coming to
Canada in 1925. In 1950 he set
up a program of Russian
language instruction across
Canada for the Army, and at the
same time served as a lay-reader
in Ottawa. He enrolled in the
Diocesan Training School in
Ottawa in 1951.
He has served as a Chaplain in
the Army since 1958 until the
present.
The cows, averaging 1,200
pounds body weight were
divided into four groups of two
each. The pasture was divided
into four sections of 1,26 acres,
each one carrying two cows. The
entire area was fertilized with
1,000 pounds of 0-15-30
chemical fertilizer before the
cows were pastured.
Four top dressings of
ammomium nitrate — the first
made with 0-15-30— were made
at intervals of three to four
weeks throughout the 132-day
test period. The control pasture
received no nitrogen during the
summer, and was tested over a
126-day period. The second
pasture received 100 pounds of
nitrogen; the third, 200 pounds,
and the fourth, 300 pounds.
Results of the experiment
show that the pasture which
received 200 pounds of nitrogen
gave the greatest return as
measured in terms of milk
production. Cattle on this
pasture produced 10,994 pounds
per acre during the 132-day
test period.
"At this level the soil seems
to reach a saturation point and
any additional application only
results in reduced yields," says
Mr. Lalande.
The cattle used in this
experiment were fed no hay or
silage. However, they were given
meal at the rate of one-half
pound per 100 pounds of live
weight or between SIx and seven
pounds of meal daily depending
on their weight,
