A three-year program of
!Special, assistance to low-income
rural people who face acute
hardship during the adjustment
;AVMs; has been introduced in
Ontario, The program will be
aimed at rural-families who, live
DASHWOOD
Phone 237-3381 or 237.3422
in remote areas, on marginal
agricultural lands, and who wish
to move out of or retire from
agriculture,
Under the terms of this
program ARDA will provide
special grants and allowances to
ease the period of adjustment for
these families. Specifically the
program will assist those in-
volved in (a) retirement and
relocation (selling farm to AR-
DA), (b( relocation of farm
operation, (c) relocation for
other employment and or
retraining.
In many parts of Ontario the
ARDA program has provided a
variety of policies, dovetailing
them to meet the adjustment
needs of farm families. Under the
Farm Enlargement and Land
Consolidation programs, ARDA
purchases farms from persons
who wish to retire or move to
other lines of work. These farms
are leased and or sold to ad-
jacent farmers who need ad-
ditional land to develop viable
farm units.
Elderly persons may retain
their farm homes on the basis of a
life-time lease, and retire among
their friends and neighbors.
Those who move off the land
benefit from retraining programs
provided by ARDA and Canada
Manpower. In many areas,
resource-based industries have
been created and encouraged by
ARDA to provide employment for
these rural people.
It has been determined,
however, that in some parts of
Ontario, particularly in the
Territorial Districts, adjustment
is a much more difficult process.
Local land values are quite low,
and there is little market
demand. Those who wish to leave
the land have little equity, and
are often in need of special
consideration.
The new program will include
once-in-a-lifetime grants of up to
$2,500 per family to low-income
rural people who are selling their
farms to ARDA and have in-
sufficient resources to make
adjustment and relocation
possible.
Qualified Rural Development
Counsellors are available to work
with these people, to advise and
counsel them on their needs, and
to direct them, when necessary,
to the proper agencies concerned
with employment, retraining,
housing, and other services.
These funds might be used for,
(a) moving household effects to
a new location, (b) moving the
family to a new location, (c)
moving chattels to a new farm
location (d) assisting in the
purchase of a retirement home,
(e) assisting in the purchase of a
new farm.
The cost of this program will be
shared equally by the Federal
and Provincial governments
under the terms of the 1970-75
Rural Development Agreement.
Decrease
for wheat
The Dominion Bureau of
Statistics thinks there is a wheat
stockpile of 981 million bushels in
Canada as of March 31. Last
year's record stockpile totalled
1,300 million bushels.
It is a big decrease, due mainly
to the big reduction in planting on
western farms last year, however
the total is still higher than the 10-
year average of 835.1 million
bushels.
A surge of wheat exports
amounting to 207.5 million.
bushels between August 1, 1970,
and January 31 this year also
contributed to the depleted wheat
stocks. Total exports during
those six months were the highest
since 1967, shows a DBS survey.
Stocks of oats and barley also
dropped from totals a year ago,
but rye and flax stocks showed
increases. Quantities in storage
— in bushels — at March 31, with
last year's figures following
were: Oats, 295.2 million, 307
million; barley, 348.6 million,
417,4 million; rye, 22 million, 16.1
million; flax, 39 million, 19.1
million.
The survey showed that 64 per
cent of the wheat — 629 million
bushels — was stored on farms,
compared with 806.9 million
bushels on farms in 1970.
The new arrangement for
reallocating dairy subsidy quotas
between producers in provinces
under a market sharing quota
program applies to Quebec and
Ontario at present.
Rh
The new deal set up the
Canadian Dairy Commission is
explained in a quota reallocations
release as follows:
The standard procedure in the
past has been that if a producer
who holds a subsidy quota is
going out of dairying, his quota
may be transferred to the person
who acquires his dairy herd.
Under the new arrangment in
market quota areas if one
producer releases all or part of
his market quota to another, the
subsidy quota will be attached to
the market quota and will be
transferred with it.
If he releases part of his
market quota and if his market
and subsidy quotas are for the
same amount, he must release
the same amount of subsidy
Quota as of market quota.
If his market quota is larger
than his subsidy quota, he may
A new style of protest is taking
place in many areas of Ontario
with National Farmers Union
members giving away produce,
to inform the consuming public of
the low prices being paid to
farmers.
Jim Sheldon, secretary of
Local 308, South-East Kent, one
of the co-ordinators of the protest
conducted in Chatham, had this
to say. "Of the food given away, a
complete meal of high protein
food could be put together for a
small family. Today's prices to
the farmer for that meal are only
30 cents." The results of a free
draw questionnaire circulated in
the Chatham area should be very
enlightening to those who would
take note.
The questions and results are
as follows. 1. Are you aware of
the cost price squeeze on far-
mers? — 77 percent answered
Change deadline
for insurance
Crop insurance deadline for
Ontario soybean growers in this
crop year is one month earlier.
The crop Insurance Com-
mission of Ontario has moved the
final application date to May 1,
from June 1. The Ontario Soya-
Bean Growers Marketing
Board is relaying the information
to its members in an effort to
emphasize the change.
The Board suggests that direct
information on the change and
complete insurance detail
should be sought from the
commission at the Parliament
Buildings, Toronto 182; through
local crop insurance agents; or
from local agriculture
representatives.

release the difference in market
quota without also releasing any
subsidy quota. However, if, in
this case, he also elects to release
some subsidy quota, he must
release the same amount of the
two quotas.
If he releases his entire market
quota, he must also release his
entire subsidy quota.
In transfers of part quotas, the
minimum amount which will be
transferred between producers is
420 pounds of butterfat, or
12,000 pounds of milk.
A producer may not acquire
additional subsidy quota under
this arrangement to bring his
total subsidy quota to more than
24,500 pounds butterfat, or 700,000
pounds milk.
While market quotas are ad-
ministered by provincial boards
and subsidy quotas by the
Canadian Dairy Commission, to
simplify matters for producers
there will be one application form
for transfers of both market and
subsidy quotas. The forms may
be secured from the regional
offices of the provincial Boards.

YES. 2. Are you in favour of an
increase in price to the farmers?
— 79 percent answered YES. 3.
Would you like more in-
formation? — 63 percent an-
swered YES.
Of the response from the
public, Robert King, Director of
District 6 said, "it appears that
although 'the silent majority,'
may be silent, they are by no
means unsympathetic when they
are presented with the facts. Of
the protest signs that seemed to
strike home were 'Massey-
Ferguson and International
layoffs because farmers have no
money to buy. 42 percent of the
Canadian economy depends
mainly on farmers.
It was unfortunate that our
elected Federal and Provincial
representatives were not on hand
to witness the sympathy and
understanding of the general
public towards their farmers. It
is understandable that their busy
schedules and need for some
weekend relief from same did not
allow their presence. Invitations
were sent to some, but on short
notice."
Mr. King further stated, 'that
different responsibilities should
be accepted, that could be very
beneficial to the economy of
Canada as a whole.
The farmers themselves to rise
out of apathy and make their true
position known.
The general public to realize
and understand the service
provided by farmers, who are the
primary producers of a general
industry, contributing to 42
percent of Canada's Gross
National Product.
The news media to carry the
overall true picture.
The politicians who have a
golden opportunity to act, to
create, an economic planet,
whereby the family farmers can
continue to serve Canada as a
reliable productive source of food
and major contributors to the
Canadian economy.
The farming industry is one of
the few industries left where
private individual businessmen
manage a natural resource,
controlled by corporate business
for state farming by government,
has never proven in the interests
of the citizens of any country, but
if economic pressure continues
on Canada's farmers this will
surely become a reality."

Examples:
For illustration purposes,
following are examples of the
way the new arrangement will
operate.
1. Producer A has a market
quota and subsidy quota both for
200,000 pounds milk (7,000 pounds
B.F.). If he releases any part of
his market quota' to Producer B
he must also release the same
amount of subsidy quota to
Producer B.
2. Producer A has a market
quota of 300,000 pounds milk
(10,500 pounds B.F.) and a
subsidy quota of 200,000 pounds
milk (7,000 pounds B.F. He may
release 100,000 pounds of market
quota (3,500 pounds B.F.) to
Producer B without also
releasing any subsidy quota. If he
releases any subsidy quota he
must release the same amount of
subsidy quota as market quota.
3. Regardless of the amount of
market quota by Producer A, if
he releases all of his market
quota to Producer B he must also
release all of his subsidy quota.

Wednesday the Explorers
group of the Exeter United
Church were hosts to the special
children of the Huron Hope
School for Retarded children in
Huron Park, and a few of the
little ones from the Huron Hope
Nursery at Grand Bend.
This was a new experience for
all concerned, as it was the first
total participation party in which
the retarded children have been
involved. Shyness and a new
awareness were soon overcome,
as games were played under the
capable leadership of the
Y.A,C.M.A,R. (youth group).
Under the direction of their
leaders, the Explorers served a
lovely lunch including the ever
popular brownies.
The Explorers are to be
commended for their gracious
dignity and understanding in
