Clinton News-Record, 1974-11-28, Page 14News of Constance BY MARY MERNER Farmers will have to depend on themselves. They can't rely on governments for help. This is the reaction of Gor- don Hill, president of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture,' to the guaranteed bank loans offered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to cow- calf operators. Farmers badly need more than bank loans to 'overwinter calves at a time of dramatically higher feed costs and depressed farm-gate prices for beef, Hill points out, "The provincial govern- ment's action is a pretty clear indication that this government isn't prepared to interfere in the market place to protect far- mars, no matter how desperate the situation is, even when the distress situation has been brought about by the decisions of foreign governments," Hill concludes, (OFA last week asked the Ontario government to en- courage cow culling by a grant of $100 for each cow slaughtered plus a grant of $25 for each calf weaned in 1974, OFA recommended that each cow marketed be replaced with a heifer calf to produce beef for market in 1976-77. The policy was designed to slow a build up of cattle without reducing potential for production when the market opens up again in two to three years.

Conditions According to the Ontario Safety League, the cause of accidents involving bad weather con- ditions is the failure of the driver to adjust his driving to meet such conditions or to keep his vehicle in proper condition. Roll When you're driving and you hit an unexpected patch of ice, don't try to brake, accelerate or steer, warns the Ontario Safety League. Maintain speed and let your vehicle "roll" through the slippery area. by David Woods You wouldn't seriously think of venturing out in winter in an open- necked shirt or blouse, and shorts - now, would you? Not in Canada, anyway. And yet people who engage in winter sports without proper physi- cal conditioning and preparation are just as exposed and unprotected. Injuries to skiers, for example, are far less frequent among those who are in good physical shape, assuming, of course, that they're reasonably skilled and have the proper equipment. Dr. Roy Shephard, a professor of applied physiology at the Uni- versity of Toronto, says the im- portant thing about preparation for winter sports is to build up to an exercise program gradually - and not just don a pair of skis at the first snowfall, and go zooming off down the nearest hill. That, he says, is the fastest route to pulled muscles and fractures. Dr. Shephard, who is the author of several articles on sports medi- cine, also emphasizes that training for winter sports should be specific. In other words, even if you've spent all summer swimming, you won't necessarily be fit for outdoor winter sports. Part of this specific training, says Shephard, involves knowing about the muscles you're going to be using, For skiing or skating, for example, you'll need to get your ankles and knees ready. The best way to do this is to precondition by walking briskly and regularly, or to jog, during the weeks before it's time to put your skis or skates on. For skiers in particular, precon- ditioning should include balancing exercises which, says Dr. Shephard, can be performed by installing a teeter-totter in the basement, or by simply practising balance on a flat piece of wood placed across a log. An increasingly popular winter sport is snowmobiling, and even though it could hardly be called strenuous, it can certainly be dan- gerous. In fact, it's probably the most common cause of death and serious injury of all the cold weather recreational activities. Shephard urges snowmobilers to understand thoroughly the machine's capabilities and their own; to wear appropriate ear cover- ing, to guard not only against cold, but also against the snowmobile's deafening noise; and never to drink alcohol while driving one of these vehicles. The combination of alco- hol and cold outdoor temperatures is doubly dangerous. So preconditioning for winter sports means exercising the right muscles in advance - and doing it steadily. It should also entail a good understanding of the equipment you'll be using, and the conditions you can expect to face. This kind of preparation makes good sense from a health standpoint - and will also enhance your en- joyment of winter recreation. And of winter itself. Canadian Foresters held at the Valhalla Inn in Kitchener over the weekend.

Try to discourage rabbits The possibility of rabbits nib- bling bark from your fruit trees this winter is a matter for con- cern. "Although the damage caused by rabbits is usually less severe than that caused by mice, they can ruin a tree," says Ontario ministry of agriculture and food hor- ticulturist, D.B. McNeill. "And, unless you trap, snare, or shoot them, there is no control. All you can do is try to reduce the damage." Wind tree guards around all trunks to discourage girdling. In areas of heavy snowfall, wrap burlap or sacking around the trunk above the tree guard, to prevent rabbits from eating the bark above it, The latex paint and thiram mixture, available from most garden supply stores, is also effective in reducing damage by rabbits, Apply it carefully, following package instructions exactly. A TREASURE ".TROVE0 IN co THE t) WANT ,ADS Instead, the Ministry has of- fered to guarantee bank loans of $715 per calf, up to 100 calves, at p7rie plus one per cent. The loans are for up to three years, repayable at any time.) Hill recalls the government of the USSR started the up- ward spiral in feed prices when it bought up huge quantities of U.S. grain two years ago. "The U.S. government price freeze caused U.S, farmers to hold cattle off the market, thus increasing the weight of the animals and the total amount of beef that went to market when the freeze was lifted, "Governments in oil expor- ting countries dramatically in- creased the price of petroleum. Beef importing countries were forced to cut beef imports to pay the necessary oil bills, ad- ding to world supplies of beef and contributing to distress prices for Ontario producers." The provincial government has provided good farm marketing legislation, Hill points out, "Farmers must use that legislation effectively for economic survival in an era of high cost farming. "There is no way that 100,000 individual farmers, each producing a small share of total product, can bargain suc- cessfully with processors or supermarket chains that want to buy in quantity from the fewest -possible number of people. "Marketing boards are the farmers' answer to a concen- tration of power among a few processors and a handful of supermarket chains. "When farmers organize to market total product through a farmer board they secure at least a minimum of counter- vailing power." Obituary George W.
