BELL OPTOMETRIST —7 GODERiCH, The Square (Phone 524-760) A. M. HARPER CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT 40 The Square, Goderich Telephone 524-7562 WITH ADRIAN VOS, At a farmer's meeting I attend- ed, the 'farmers were asked to fill out a questionnaire stating among other things what the value ,of their farm, egnipment and livestock is. Another question asked theiir aver- age income over the last five years. The result was rather shocking. Eighty percent had a value of between $100,000 and $300,000 invested. The income from this investment for 70% was less than $10,000 over the last five years. If one compares this with the $13,000 income per year that the postman are asking, one must ask Oneself: "What am I doing farming? Why not take a job from 8 to .5 that requires no investment, and in many cases, little, brains, and sell the bloody farm". Well; I guess you know the answer. We don't work for the money alone. We like, to be our own boss. We like to make our own decisions and where else can one expect ,to do this better than on the farm. We are nuts, but we are by and large contented nuts. So be it. A story in McLeans magazine bewailed ,the fact that so much grain is fed to livestock. It is by and large a good article even if the writer's facts about the amount of grain needed to produce a pound of meat are way off. base. If his figure was accurate, not one pound of meat would be produced, because the Price would be so high that only the very rich could afford to buy it. His concern about the underfed peoples of the world I share. However, before we as farmers -should feel guilty for producing meat,, and consumers for buying it, we should first get our priorities right. Enormous amounts of number one wheat, barley and corn are used to produce gin, beer, and whiskey, while the grain used for , livestock feeding, is' lower grade, which, is not used for food. After society cuts out the use of alcoholic drinks' and stops eating pastry, then I would feel guilty if there is a shortage of grain. I! one western society would lift import restric- tions on products from 'the poorer world and pay them a reasonable price for their product, they would be' able to buy ' our grain at, a reasonable price, or better still they could afford to irrigate their crops and put on enough fertilizer so they could grow their own crops..
