a+', Council
(continued from page 1)
meeting council endorsed a
resolution from Grand Bend,
asking the provincial govern -
ment to make a provision in
the Municipal Act allowing the
appointment of an acting reeve
or acting deputy -reeve to attend
county council meetings in the
absence of the regular official.
Council agreed to advise
Stephen Township that they
are willing to pay their share
of the costs involved to make
a study in regard to piped water
for the police village of Dash-
wood.
Road Superintendent Karl
Haberer was authorized to sub- .
mit a supplementary allocat-
ion to the Ministry of Transport-
ation and Communications in
the amount of $20, 000 subsidy
for 1974.
Tenders for the supply of var-
ious fuels and gasoline were
awarded to Ross Scott Fuels, of
S
Brucefield, The Scott tenders
were as follows; diesel fuel,
2.30 cents less than tank wagon
price; gasoline, 2.00 cents less
than tank wagon price; furnace
oil, 2.50 cents less than tank
wagon price. The general idea
of the contract is that if the
tank wagon price increases so
will the contract price, but the
discount will remain the same.

ween Hay Township, Tucker -
smith Township and Hensall

Agriiio
(By Adrian Vos)
The cost of vegetables is
expected to go up some more.
However, the grower doesn't
get any of the increase. This
will go to the truckers who bring
produce up from the US and
will have to pass the higher cost
on to you and me, the custom-
er. Since in this wintertime
there is no alternative source
of gevetabies we have no choice
It would be nice though if we,
as farmers, could pass on an
increase in input cost immediat-
ely. After all, it's only fair,
isn't it.
It has been evident for some
time now, that more young
people go into farming than
has been the case for a long
time. Recently I heard rumors
that a sample survey by the
Canadian department of agricul-
ture showed that the number of
farmers in Ontario and in Alberta
actually increased and are hold-
ing steady in the rest of the
country. If this is confirmed by
a full survey, it would be good
news for all of Canada. Believe
it or not, but the farmer is still
the backbone of the country.
If the farmer has money, it
affects the whole economy and
your job intown or city may
depend upon the farmer.
In this time of shortages it is
a good thing that there areno
real food shortages in this count-
ry. About everything else is
in short supply, be it some hard-
ware or skilled labour. However,
if you go to your food store you
can be very sure that you don't
have to order that roast for your
party six weeks in advance.
Think about it, it could happen
too.
After Denmark and P.E.I.
now Yugoslavia has regulated
land use. All land that has not
been tilled for a year has to
be hired to people who will do
so. Isn't it high time that Ont-
ario does something about spec-
ulators' and hobby farmers'
land if it is not used properly?
If you non-farm people still ,
thinl< that a farmer is a person
who wears bib -overalls, boots
covered with animal waste and
is rather backward, listen to
this. Crop production based on
an index of 100 in 1970, was in
1951 at 38. Ten years later it
had increased to 73, almost
double the output per man hour.
In 1971 it had gone up again
by 760jo to 122. Livestock prod-
uction per man hour increased
by 93o'o in the last ten years.
Try and beat that, you non -
farmer.
