4BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY •
Somewhere, sometime, I read hoer I can test a course of action, I
mould ask myself, "If everybody followed this course of action
would it be good?" •
A very simple example might be that I decide to drive on the
right side of the road. I think it is obvious that when everybody does
this, our modern means of transportation is effective.
We hear a lot about our youth problem* A certain percentage of
our young people have claimed their freedom to live as they want.
They ridicule the materialistic emphasis of the older generation.
They are not interested in things and possessions of our modern day.
There was an interesting cartoon in the paper the other day. It
showed a' couple of our transient youth thumbing a ride. They aren't
interested in possessions but they don't mind using someone else's
possessions for their convenience.
If all our youth followed the example of this group would it be
good? I think not.
There is a proposal under consideration for subsidizing travel for
youth. The justification for this project is education—experience.
I don't think we can deny that travel does provide experience and
education but to what extent?
• Education provides knowledge which we can get through our
formal educational institutions, through books and all our
Information media. It is true that travel also adds to our knowledge
but we just don't live long enough to gather our knowledge by going
everywhere.
We get experience from meeting people and getting an
understanding of their successes and problems. It seems to me that
this can only be acquired by meeting people in their homes and
working with them on the job and on community projects.
Knowledge plus experience equals wisdom. Surely the powers
that be realize that the vast majority of our youth today want jobs
that are productive, that give them a feeling of worth and
importance. Let's quit kidding ourselves into thinking we are
accomplishing something worthwhile by sending our problems hither
and yon all over the countryside out df sight. We really know what
needs to be done, Let's do it,
Tornados do happen
Tornados are comparatively
rare in Ontario — but they can
happen. The Ontario Safety
League warns that you should
not stay with your car if a
twister is close. Seek the nearest
available shelter,, or lie down in a
ditch if the danger is imminent.
Even a low spot in a field is safer
than your car in a twister,
RUSS JACKSON
The right hand of former CFL all-star Russ Jackson has thrown
some of finest football passes ever completed on a football
field, and although Russ has retired from the field he's still very
much involved with sport—as a broadcaster with the CBC, Russ
can be heard calling the plays as the analyst and color com-
mentator on the CBC's Eastern Conference CFL games and also
acts as co-host with Bob Moir on the sports talk show Replay,
seen Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on most CBC-TV stations.
POULTRY PROCESSOR SHIPMENTS RISE 13 PERCENT
In 1969, poultry processors recorded shipments of own
manufacture of $285.3 million, an increase of 13 percent from the
previous year, Statistics Canada reports that the 109 establishments
engaged primarily in killing, dressing, packing or canning of poultry
put out $225.1 million for materials and supplies in 1969, an
increase of $22,0 million or 11 percent from a year earlier. Wages
and salaries rose about 21 percent, while total employee numbers
gained 6 percent, Plants in Ontario and Quebec accounted for 75
percent of the total shipments of poultry processora.
PERSONAL INCOMES DOUBLE IN 10 YEARS
Total personal income of all Canadians in 1970 was $66.1 billion,.
more than double the $29.4 billion recorded in 1961. Statistics
Canada reports personal income per person of $3,584 followed by
British Columbia at $3,293 and Alberta.at $3,074.
BEEF TOPS WOOL IN AUSTRALIA
Beef has replaced wool as Australia's most valuable rural product.
In 1970-71, beef production totalled $600 million while the value of
wool production was $547 million. Total gross value of rural
production was $3,512 million, a drop of 7 percent from last year.
A significant development during 1969.70 was the emergence of
the U.S.S.R. as a major new market for Australian beef and veal. For
the 1970-71 period, 21,175 tons were shipped to the U.S.S.R. This
represents 7.3 percent of total Australian exports of beef and veal.
WOR LD LIVESTOCK NUMBERS INCREASING
World livestock numbers have maintained a constant upward
trend during the past 11 years. The most rapid rate of expansion
occurred between 1964 and 1968 when cattle numbers increased an
average of 2 percent annually and hog numbers 5,5 percent. During
the same period, world sheep numbers increased a little over 1
percent annually. From 1968 to 1969, the upward expansion in
cattle and hog numbers levelled off but recovered in 1970, when hog
numbers as early 1971 were up 8 percent and cattle numbers 1
percent.
SHORT COURSE COMES EAST
The 8th Cattlemen's Short Course sponsored by the University of
Alberta and Western Stock Grower's Association will be held
November 20-26 in Ontario. Aim of the course is to develop the
participant's understanding of beef cattle production in which
agricultural policy is made. A series of lectures, discussions, tours

IT'S A FACT
Total Canadian pork exports to mid-September were 69 Malkin
Pounds. un 18 million pounds from a year ago, About one-half of
the exports were fresh-frozen hams. Of the total exports, 49 million
pounds or about 71 percent to the U.S.
JUNE 1 CATTLE POPULATION AT RECORD HIGH
An increase of 650,000 in beef numbers pushed the total of cattle
and calves on farms and ranches to a record 13,660,000 head on
June 1st. This represents a five percent increase from a year ago. The
semi, annual survey conducted by Statistics Canada (formerly D.B.S.),
shows a drop of wo percent in the dairy cow Populition and a"
reduction of one percent in dairy heifers,
Except for a drop in P.E.I. beef cow numbers and in N.S. beef'
heifer numbers, the beef breeding herd was higher in every province.
The national beef cow and heifer total rose by almost 400,000 head
from last year.
Steer numbers showed a more modest gain, a five percent
decrease in the East practically offsetting an eight percent rise in the
West. The calf population (including dairy calves) was up .eight
percent in the West and unchanged in the East for a national increase
of five percent. Ontario calf numbers dropped by one percent.
TAPING WATER PIPES PREVENTS DRIPPING
Dripping pipes are an annoyance for the homeowner or anyone
with exposed cold water pipes. Professor Ross Irwin, School of
Engineering University of .GuelpI4 says dripping is caused by water!
vapor condensing on the cold pipes, The amount produced varies
according to the relative humidity, the amount of moisture in the
air,
To solve the problem, Professor Irwin advises wrapping the pipes.
A glass fiber tape with a vapor seal is available for this purpose. It'
comes in three-inch rolls, 20 to 30 feet long. The cost is about four
cents per foot to cover 1/2-inch copper tubing. It costs slightly more
to cover larger tubing.
When wrapping the pipes, leave an overlap of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Also,
be sure to wrap the ends securely. The glass fiber tape is available at
hardware stores, says Professor Irwin.
BIG COWS MUST WEAN BIG CALVES
Big cows cost more to keep.
For each extra 100 pounds of weight, a cow will eat another 650
pounds of average quality hay or equivalent feed per year.
To offset that extra feed cost, the calf a cow weans must weigh
20 pounds more, says Dr. J.W.G. Nicholson of the Canada
Agriculture Research Station at Fredericton.
"For example, to pay for her extra feed, a cow that weighs 1,400
pounds must wean a calf weighing 80 pounds more than one from a
1,000-pound cow."
Aside from additional feed costs, there are other extras including
the additional barn space and acreage needed to accommodate a
larger cow.
SEARCHING FOR AN ALLY
Even though at least 11 fungus diseases attack codling moths in
Ontario orchards, the diseases do not do enough damage to be
counted on as a control measure.
This was the finding in a survey undertaken by the Canada
Agriculture Research Station at Vineland, Ont.
Chemicals are usually used to control the codling moth. But,
scientists at the Canada Department of Agriculture have been
searching for alternatives for a number of years.
The codling moth is responsible for most of the worms in apples..
SHEEP POPULATION RISES
The increase in Canadian sheep numbers, which was first evident
last year, was more evident on June 1 of this year, The sheep and
lamb population reached 997,500, an increase of 100,000 head or
11 percent from the year previous and the highest level since June
1st, 1966. Both ewe and lamb numbers rose by the same 11 percent,
Sheep one year old and over were up 21 percent in the West and a
modest 1 percent in the East. Lamb numbers increased by 17
percent in the West and by four percent in the East compared to
June 1, 1970. Within Western Canada, the increases in the shearling
and older population, mainly ewes, were: Manitoba 17 percent,
Saskatchewan 15 percent, Alberta 28 percent and B.C. three
percent.
PORK EXPORTS TO THE U.K.
In the first five months of this year, Canada was the leading
supplier of pork fancy meat (kidneys, livers, etc.) to the U.K.
Canadian shipments to the end of May at just over six million
pounds edged out those of Denmark. The other major supplier of
pork offal is the Irish Republic which shipped 3% million pounds.
Canadian exports of fresh pork, though still at a lbw level, also
improved. US. imports from Canada in January-May 1971 were
300,000 pounds compared to 154,000 pounds in the same period of
1970 and none in 1969.
NOW: MEDICARE FOR ANIMALS
Here's a switch, The Financial Post reports. In the field of
government-sponsored medical-care insurance, humans—it turns'
out—have served as the guinea pigs,
In Quebec, now that medicare for humans has proved workable,
the province's cows, pigs, sheep, poultry, fur-yielding animals and
estrogenylelding mares are going to get it The scheme, announced
last week, was effective at of July'1,

Generally, the government will pay approximately half the costs,
