Grain millers begin
mail order service
STAFFA - Hilton Whole Grain Millers in Staffa have developed a
__ —' M rotwch to wiring peopt s Canada with mai a -Out
awal.
Owners Barry and Karen Mahon have come up with a freshly pro-
. cesscd whole grain rolled oat which contains 7 B vitamins, 9 minerals
and is exuemely.high in beta glucan, the water soluble fiber scientists
say is so.important in lowering blood cholesterol levels.
A new process using the latest technology gives the oatmeal a new,
slightly nutty and toasted flavour. The new product takes into consid-
eration less packaging, lower fuel costs to the consumer, consistent
competitive pricing, easy at home shopping and it's a healthy, *whole-
some, natural food with no additives.
Recipes for various baked goods are also included. In Ontario and
Quebec, 5 and 10 kg quantities are available for the delivered price of
S8 and S14 respectively in large, regular and small flake sizes.
Farmers have
chance to recycle
HOMESVILLE - Farmers will
have an opportunity to recycle
empty pesticide containers at col-
lection sites during June.
In Huron, collection days will be
June 24, 25 and 26 at the Mid -
Huron Landfill site, Holmesville
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Containers
being returned must be clean of any
pesticide by either triple rinsing or
jet rinsing. No liquid or dry materi-
al should remain on the containers.
Arte- rinsing out the container, al-
low them to drain thoroughly so no
liquid remains. Lids must be re-
moved for inspection.
You may bring containers in with
or without lids. Plastic containers
up to 23 litre size and metal con-
tainers up to 20 litres will be ac-
cepted. Barrels and drums, or do-
mestic containers will not be

be held August 12 at the Mitchell
District Co-op Fertilizer Plant and
on August 13 at Sprucedale Agro -
mart in Hanover.
For further information on these
programs contact the Ontario Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food Of-
fice in Clinton at 482-3428 or 1-

One Foot
in the Furrow
By Bob Trotter
"It's terrorism and should be
treated as such."
That was the remark made by Dr.
David Neil, director of the Health
Sciences Laboratory Services sec-
tion of the south Edmonton kennel
that was vandalized a couple of
weeks ago.
"They took some of the cats in an
arbitrary way and then they
wreaked considerable amount of
vandalism. That's an act of terror-
ism; it's not an act of rescuing. It's
calculated to try and strike fear into
the research community so that it
will move away from the use of an-
imals."
The vandals claimed to be from
the Animal Liberation Front, a
well-known organization which has
become fanatic in its stance against
the use of animals for almost any-
thing. It is one of a dozen or two
animal rights groups which have
sprung up to "defend" animals in
the last half-dozen years. In fact,
more money and more people have
become involved in these animal
rights groups in the last five years
than any other area of interest that 1
can think of.
I have no objection to any group
with the welfare of animals as their
major objective. I love animals. I
want then to be treated with dignity
and respect and I would do every-
thing possible to see that they are
not mistreated.
But,this terrorism in Edmonton is
just another example of good inten-
tions gone to extremes. The break-
in appeared to have been carefully
planned by people familiar with the
McGi'llivray Twp. celebrates
kernel. -No signs of forcible entry
were evident and an employee
sleeping in a house less than 40 feet
away heard nothing.
Red pttntiwts splashed on walls
and windows,viels of drugs were
smashed, equipment was wrecked,
files were thmwn into puddles of
water and bags of animal bedding
were ripped open and the contents
strewn on the floor.
11 sis to be hoped that the people
who perpetrated this terrorism have
found come place to keep the stolen
animals. ALF and PETA, two extre-
mist -Organizations for animal rights,
have beenknown to "liberate" ani-
mals and house them in far worse
conditions than those from which
they were stolen.
Animal rights groups have been
fiercely active in some European
countries and in some states in the
USA. I have talked with a number
of farmers in this pan of the country
who chuckle about these organiza-_.
tions: Some of the members of these
groups will not rest until every ani-
mal -- dogs, cats, cattle, hogs, hens,
turkeys, etc. -- is "liberated" to its
original, natural state. These chuck-
ling fanner do not take animal right-
ists seriously.
They will be forced into taking
them seriously too.
A spokesman for the Washington -
based People for the Ethical Treat-
ment of Animals (PETA) recently
said that the fur industry is in a tail-
spin and the next logical campaign
to focus on is meat.
"Ideally, if we had a magic wand,
we would have animal agriculture
disappear," said Steve Simmons,
PETA spokesman. "Animal agricul-
ture has been a major campaign of
ours for some time."
As if farmers did not have enough
to worry about now what with the
Free Trade Agreement, the present
round of talks on the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,
the snipers out to scuttle supply
management, across-the-board low
prices being paid for farm products,
the high cost of farm inputs such es
labor and gasoline and the general
recession around the world.
Now, they have to work on bat-
tling a bunch of nutbars who think i
is great sport to become terrorists.
