The prediction of the, crystal ball gazers was then for 60 tents to 55 cents per pound and one was so PessimiStie as to predict as low as 45 cents, while here we are hovering around the 49 cents level. Now is the time to fill your freezer folks. The Ontario Pork Institute, which is mainly funded by the Pork Board, has begun a campaign to shore up sales of pork. They stress the new pork, meaning the lower fat content, IsWer calorie content and the higher protein. Pork is the best buy of any meat right now, So watch for those posters and recipes. • * In his rural route letter in "Country Guide", Pete Williams has a very sane letter, It tells us of a leading economist who shows qs how to increase our standard of living. Pete says; "Who says we have to increase our stan- dard of living? Right now, I'd say there is something a little indecent about a call for an increased standard of living in this country when two-thirds of the world's people are inadequately fed, clothed and sheltered," He goes on to ask if we should have more cars per family, or two plates of food instead of one so we'll get fatter bellies and behinds. We demand snowmobiles and outboards and soon it won't maybe be a luxury to own an aircusion vehicle. Keep going Pete, but it won't do any good because we are too greedy. *** The traditional concept of politicians promoting growth to expand the taxbase is archaic and should be discontinued, said Paul Steinberg of Woodstock. It is time that the population pressure of this part of Ontario was shifted to other areas where prime agricultural land would not be sacrified for concrete and pavement. Amen, brother. * * * The political optimists are again sticking their neck out and predict high prices for wheat, corn, soybeans, etc. I'm not so sure. The high prices of last year induce every grower to plant more. China had better crops and cut imports from the U.S.A. Result will be more American wheat on the world market which is bound to bring down prices. We will probably get the same results as with high meat prices. Over- supply and following lower prices. I suspect that the political economists predict high prices to encourage farmers to over supply.
