Let's come to our senses By ADRIAN VOS When you read this column it will be the year of our Lord 1975 and with all the concerns Lhave ' expressed in the past 'year, we are all grateful that we were able lo provide for so many the food ' that is needed to help keep us all healthy. Our fond hope is, that we may continue to do sq for a long time. We hope that society in this new year will come to their senses, and help us to conserve land that is so sorely needed in the future, not only to feed those that are starving now, but also to feed our own country when the population increases to the level that is predicted for the next twenty five dears. We wish all'of you, farmer and non -farmer alike, a healthy and prosperous New Year. We wish for an end to the- troubled economic times and for an end to the crop disasters that plagued this world in the last year. I wish us all working together to make this a better world to live in, with Faith and elope and Charity. We as farmers have faith and hope. or else we wouldn't be farming, (or the farmer is always saying after a poor crop "Well, next year has to be better." Some even say that to be a farmer you have to have charity as well, for who else will give so much for so little. - Did you know that Canada's trade balance with the world is as big as the farm exports'? Yes, that's true. We export about $750 million of farm products and our favourable trade balance is about the same. 1 am proud to say that we, being only five percent of the population, make it possible for the other ninety five percent io have the high standard of living we enjoy. A good deal of the credit for the efficiency of the Amendments to allow pay for wolf and dog damages Amendments to the Dog .Licensing and Livestock and Poultry Protection Act have been announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food. the Hon Wm A Stewart.
