4 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
The voice of the Christian Farmers
Federation is one that is often heard
and just as often respected. Though
small relative to Ontario's largest
general farm organization, the Feder-
ation of Agriculture, the CFFO issues
coherent and consistent policy state-
ments with the long-term future of all
Ontario farmers as their focus. The
keystone of CFFO policy is the family
on the farm, and the family on the
farm depends on long-term husbandry
of agricultural resources.
This month, writer Susan Glover
interviews Bill Jongejan, the CFFO's
president. We read about how —
and why— he manages the heavy
responsibilities of the presidency
while operating a farm and raising
six children with his wife, Fran.
In our second feature, the issue
of trapping is once again addressed.
Our first story in January about trap-
per Orval Ford stirred up a number of
replies. In this issue, Ken Ottewell
writes that the lessons learned from
the trapping debate are also lessons for
farmers — and the rest of society too.
Cecil Bruinsma of R. R. 4,
Goderich also raises a complex issue.
He sold a 100 -acre farm property last
year. It took him seven months and a
pile of paperwork to finalize the deal.
He explains why in our third feature.
Also this month, Ian Wylie-Toal
continues his incisive series on re-
search and Wayne Kelly visits meteor-
ologist Jay Campbell. In connection
with this last story, we enjoyed Poor
Robin's March forecast: "We may
expect some showers of rain this
month or the next, or the next after
that, or else we shall have a very dry
Spring."
