Usborne Township farmer Bob Down is
probably one of those who believes that
such a small incident such as a cow
kicking over a lantern which started the
big Chicago fire, could snowball into such
proportions as the same thing happened
last week with the antics of a few steers
on a feedlot behind his home farm a mile
and a half north east of Exeter. Bob and
his wife went to investigate as some of
the steers broke out of the feedlot into a
cornfield. Driving the station wagon in
an effort to block others from escaping,
with the headlights on to see what was
happening, the couple, on looking further
discovered flames coming from a pile
of straw under the station wagon. It
had apparently ignited either from a
spark or the hot exhaust. In attempting
to move the vehicle it stalled. The tried
to beat out the flames. A strong wind
whipped up the flames and they had to
abandon their attempts and drove the
rest of the 150 steers out of the feedlot
to safety. The pole barn, adjoining shed
and 600 bales of straw, the 1971 station-
wagon, corn planter and grain drill were
all destroyed. Exeter fire department
responded to the call and wer e able to
save a large enclosed barn. 14 steers
were still missing after the fire.

Candidates . speak at Clinton meeting
ceeded to give his belief that
socialism was the only answer
for Canada to be strong and in-
dependent. He said he had trav-
elled in many European socialist
states and they had none of the
problems that face our country.
Each of the other speakers
outlined agricultural policy of
the party he or she represented
then were asked a series of ques-
tions from the floor and from
a spokesman for the Federation
of Agriculture.
Mr. Thomas said the Liberal
policy was a continuing one and
Pointed to such past policies as
the new Farm Credit Act, Bill
C-176 (the marketing act) and
the Small Farms Development
Act. He said he had spent an
hour and a half one day earlier
this year with Prime Minister
Trudeau and that the PM wants
to hear feedback from farmers
on the problems of the day
through the local Liberal can-
didates.
He said he also discussed
local problems recently with Ag-
ricultural Minister Bud Olson
who assured him that the
government supported attempts
to re-establish the sugar beet
industry in western Ontario and
that it was prepared to give cash
advances to farmers storing corn
on the'farm if some kind of farm
organization could be set up to
handle the payments (the govern-
ment can not give the money dir-
ectly to farmers).
Mr. McKinley pointed to his
past achievements as the member
from Huron. He said he had
served as the Conservative ag-
ricultural critic in the House and
that it was through his efforts
and those of his party that im-
portant changes came about in
Bill C-176 and the Farm Cred-
it Bill.
He took shots at government
policies such as those which
had encouraged diversification of
farm oroduction in western Can-
ada which, he said, hurt Ont-
ario egg and hog producers. He
said that the present unemploy-
ment insurance set up made it
hard to get farm help because
the workers would rather draw
unemployment insurance than
work. And, he claimed, the
government, rather than encour-
aging a sugar beet industry in
Ontario, had hindered it by re-
fusing to guarantee thaCif a
plant for processing the sugar
was built a quota of 20 per
cent of the Canadian market would
be set aside for Canadian-pro-
duced sugar.
Mrs. Weary said NDP policies
were aimed at halting the er-
osion of rural communities. The
NDP promises, she said, to set
up a farm machinery board which
would look after a machinery
testing program, bring about
standardization of farm mach-
inery and set up a program to
encourage manufacture and im-
Smiles
"We love our new picture
window," said the Mrs. to a
visitor, "because it brings the
great outdoors right into our
living room."
"We get the same results,
only cheaper," replied her
guest,"with ou teenager's muddy
shoes."

An. ND? government would
set up a commission to study the
best size for a farm unit and would
bring In a land bank which would
buy up land which was for sale
and lease it back to farmers
so they would not have to in-
vest so much in land. It would
prohibit foreign and corporate
takeover of land and provide
low-interest loans, to young farm-
ers to help them get started.
She said there must be more
planning in rural communities
with more decentralization and
involvement of the local people.
During the question period,
Phil Durand, speaking for the
Federation claimed that farmers
were subsidizing low food prices
for consumers. He said that
farmers were suffering with low
incomes in order to keep food
prices down. He asked if some-
thing could be done to stop this.
Mrs. Weary said that food
prices must be kept dOwn but
that the farmer should not be
the one to pay for low prices.
"If this means subsidizing the
farmer then this must be done"
she said.
Mr. McKinley claimed the
present government has a cheap
food policy and believes farm-
ers should be maintained only
to produce cheap food. The Con-
servatives, on the other hand,
he said t believe that if the farm,
or is in: good financial shape,
the whole economy will be in.
good shape,
Mr. Thomas. replied that the
only cheap food policy the Lib,
orals had was -that, they did a,
great .deal of research to find,
ways for farmers to produce
food as cheaply as possible, thus.
auowing the farmers to prosper
while ..eeping food- prices down.
