Agri -notes
{By Adrian Vag)
Will we have h. rotten banana
scandal next? Someone said at
a meeting I attended, that ever
week as many trailer loads of
bananas spoil in Montreal alone
as trailerloads of eggs spoiled
in a whole year. However,
since no marketing agency of
farmers is involved, I doubt if
we will see anything about it
in the papers.
Why does every vegetable
grower have to dump tons of
carrots every year? Because
the consumer refuses to buy
them if they are not straight
and slender. In the meantime
our taxes are spent to investig-
ate the loss of three trailer
loads of eggs, so Beryl Plurntre
can keep her $40, 000 job and
the opposition parties, plus a
disgruntled ex -cabinet minister
can have their field day.
Quebec is planning legislat-
ion to prevent first class farm-
land from being taken out of
production, Ontario is still
contemplating such a move.
B.C. has done so already and
Saskatchewan is drafting such
legislation now.
It is heartening to see that
non-farm people at last are
beginning to realize that our
grandchildren should have
something to eat also. In the
meantime officials of the Ont-
ario government are trying to
buy class one farmland, one
hundred acres of it, for a lag-
oon for the Blyth sewage system
Whereas Blyth has a populat-
ion of less than one thousand,
it seems that ten acres will
be needed for each man, wom-
an and child in the province.
Does Toronto use this much
sewage disposal space? I think
not, for then most of Ontario
would be one big lagoon. The
question is, what is more imp-
ortant, some extra money out-
lay for a treatment plant or
permanently destroying food
producing land. Queens Park
must be one confused bunch
of bureaucrats?
Some American farmers, whc
killed their calves some weeks
ago, have taken a different
tack. They organized a packing
plant, truckers and other trans-
porters, and donated their
money losing claves for food
aid in hurricane stricken Hond-
uras. Trucking and processing
was done free of charge.
50 Years Ago
Mr. Louis Schilbe has rec-
ently purchased the Apple
Block with the intentions of
running a flour and feed store.
Mr. Carl McClinchey be -
carne entangled in his steam
threshing machine and was
fortunate not to receive any
injuries.
Mr. Fred Haberer, of the
Blind Line, was pinned between
the manure spreader and a
gate when his team ran away.
He is now confined to his bed
with bruised legs but fortunat-
ely, no bones were broken.
35 Years Ago
A shower was held at the
home of Mr, and Mrs. S.
Wither, of the Babylon Line,
in honor of Miss Olive Witmer,
bride -elect.
A Red Cross group was organ-
ized in Dashwood with Mrs.
Louis Morenz as president.
Another was formed in Zurich
with Ivlr. E.M. Dagg, president
Mr. Fred Beer fractured one
leg and injured the other when
the car he was cranking lunged
forward and pinned him against
the wall.
25 Years Ago

Anita Datars, Frances Taylor,

way 83 about a mile west of
Exeter. Ervin Devine and Roy
Morenz barely escaped when
