with comedy song and dance at the annual farmers' night hosted by Howick Lions Club.
Thg meeting was held in the Wroxeter Community Hall.
THIS IS THE FARMER'S SHARE of a loaf of bread, guest speaker John Mayes told
members of the Howick Lions Club and their guests during the annual farmers' night
meeting earlier in the week. Hechose this method to dramatically illustrate a point he
said -he learned recently in Chicago: that only a minor percentage of the cost of food
products reflects farm production costs; the rest goes to various middlemen. Mr. Mayes
is agricultural manager for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in eastern and
northern regions of Ontario. To the left of Mr. Mayes is Don Coghlin, president of the
Howick Lions, and to the right is George Keil of Farmatic in Gorrie.

ire optimistic about futures
speaker urges local farmers
Despite a less than encourag-
ing summer, farmers should be
optimistic about the future of
agriculture, guest speaker John
Mayes told about 75 Lions and
guests Monday night at Wroxe-
ter. Increasing use of technology
and better management will keep
farming viable despite high land
costs, variable weather and low
prices, he predicted,
Mr. Mayes, who is the agricul-
tural manager for the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce in
northern and eastern regions of
Ontario, was , the featured
speaker at the annual farmers'
night hosted by the Howick Lions
Club.
"The opportunity is there; it's
up to the individual," he de-
clared. He noted that while
farmers have never handled so
much money''', their net incomes
are decreasing, and said that
while some are responding by in-
creasing production, others are
"falling by the wayside".
He suggested the farmers to
survive will be those with the
financial resources to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes their way and said far-
mers should ask themselves
whether they "have the horses"
to do this.
Mr. Mayes went on to discuss
the outlook for various facets of
farming: land, weather, labor
and management, energy, crops
and politics.
He said while it bothers him to
see land taken out of production
and the price of land driven up by

Processions
are not exempt
from traffic, laws
Many motorists have the mi --
taken idea that being part of a
funeral procession exempts them
from prosecution under the High-
way Traffic Act or from civil lia-
bility should they commit traffic
violations, Sgt. Len George of the
Wingham OPP detachment notes
this week.
They are mistaken, however,
and if anyone is involved in acci-
dent while going through a stop
sign or red traffic signal when the
intersection is not controlled by a
police officer, that motorist is in
trouble.
Police can't always be there to
man these locations because
other calls can crop up, he re-
ports, urging motorists to "take
this message to heart".

speculation, "tremendous .in-
tensification" of land use will in-
crease production on the land
available. "We've just scratched
the surface of what we can do
with farm land," he claimed, not-
ing large increases in production
of beef per acre have already
been achieved.
He also noted the "tremendous
variability" 'in weather condi-
tions and predictions of even
more changeable weather in the
future, but said it can be com-
pensated for With new crop
strains.
North American farmers are
already the most efficient in the
world, he said, with each farmer
today feeding him or her self and
50 others. He predicted the trend
toward more mechanization and
larger farms will continue,
reducing even further the num-
ber of people engaged in food pro-
duction.
On the topic of energy, ' Mr.
Mayes said that during a trip to
the U.S. he heard a discussion on
the three 'F's in msnure: feed,
fertilizer and fuel. Manure is
becoming a valuable, resource on
the farm, he said, predicting:
"We may be only five or six years
away from the practical applica-
tion of ideas for using it as feed
and fuel."
Under politics, he said the
government is the most dominant
and difficult force farmers must
cope with. A very great challenge
facing farmers, he added, is "a
group of anti -farm lobbies",
which he did not identify. He
summed up by declaring that
"the long term outlook is excel-
lent," though continuing de-
pressed prices and profits are ex-
pected in the short term.
