Agriculture, Mr, Jacklin, an'• Elmwood - area farmer who is also a mem- - ber of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture executive, rev- iewed the_past;ivork.of-the agency at the 'meeting'''.He;s noted the' agency has :had `three different roles during -its_ life= time, The, first role was to reduce, prices by' directly imparting farm machinery'into,the country from abroad.: He said he would: not say, that thee agency had cau_ sed lower prices, but he would point to.the fact that until this year;there.had been no"increase in price on the domestic mark-' . et. • :"Overseas (prices wentup," -• he- said; " and ,our'Pile e" went up but we did.hel '"prohibit an inc.; rease for fod a haif yeafis." In its: second 'role.,' he said, the"agency.:changed to'become .a lever to help -a farmer in • getting a better price from his dealer. The' agency would pro- vide a quote att-which the farmer could, get a similar piece ,of machinery -if the dealer did not come up With a good price. Under its third role, .the agency has become a watchdog. • It is still importing some mach- inery including lines.not:avail able on the domestic market;'". . such as a four-wheel drive Fard tractor and cage -wheels far added floatation and power far. tractors and combines.:' ,But -on the whole_ the group is there as - a threat to manufacturers that it -may go:back into importing if prices rise: "I'm concerned as president," - he said, "thatwe don't become another United Co-operatives of Ontario, farmer -owned or- ganization," Mr. Jacklin said he felt effort should be put into helping UCO t� bea better organization -.rather than trying to construct a similar. organization. Mr. Jacklin, who is also a member. of the Canadian Feed - Grain Board, 'discussed the current protein situation which has :Seen the price of_soybeans rise dramatically. Part of the problem; he siad, was due to .adverse weather last fall which prevented harvest. 'Part was due'to the fact that -Peruvian fish' meal ;which:normally makes ;up about:;10: per: cent of • world`protein'needs, is noton the market due, to a failure, --,in : the' fishingindustry in Peru. And part of:the problem, he ,, said, was speculation in soy- beans. He noted that about four corporations control the soybean industry. in North. .. America: and they'closed'their books so no one knows 'just how much the:soybean supply is and if it is sufficient'to :last until • the new crop' is harveste d.• "I think our minister of Agri- culture (Eugene Whelan) has don_ a the right thing in putting on the clamps until things settle:down,"'Mr. Jacklin said.

Hullett. township council will request a meeting with Blyth council over changes in cost sharing at the Blyth-Hullett dump as .proposed by the vill- age council. - Hullett council at. its -.July meeting on July 3 ;voted- to have the clerk -approach, Blyth - council and set ,up :a' meeting. Blyth recently suggested that cost-sharing should be adjusted: fromthe present 50.750 basis 1 - to a 60-40 basis with Hullett paying the larger share. The recommendation was made after the Blyth council had asked dump superintendent Len Rooney to keep track of the quantities of garbage com- ing from Blyth, .Hullett and Auburn, all of which use the dump. In ether business, the clerk was 'asked to check with Frank Elliott to find out 'if he had Huron's weather `heaven' compared toEast: If Huron county farmers are suffering bad weather, they certainly have it better than elsewhere, directors of the Huron county Federation of Agriculture learned Thursday night at their July meeting. First they heard it from Bill Broadworth, newly appointed Associate Agricultural Repres- entative for Huron. Mr. Broad - Worth, who came from Carlton county in Eastern Ontario said Huron is heaven compared to • the East. • Last year.was a bad year, 'he said, but.at least farmers in that part of the country got to plant their crops. This year Many, didn't even . get that far,; because of the :wet weather. Then the directors heard • from Jim Jacklin,-Ontario Farin Machinery Agency presi- dent from Elmwood who said .that the day before had seen so much rain in that part :of the country .thatthe corn was laying, in pools of Water._ Actually, the July meeting •of;the Federation suffered from good weather as_only about a' dozen directors and members . showed up,at:the meeting even though themeeting:w•as:sched- uled for' . 9 p. m, ' in the•, hope.• farmers would come after fin- ishing work. - Mr.- Broadworth outlined to the meeting the new industrial mills incentive plan, a new five-year program designed to boost production of industrial milk in the province. The first year, he said the farmer would only pay_ the interest and in the second year a 20 per cent refund of the principal of the loan was available if the farmer met the requirements for increased production. The loans, he said, can be used for purchase of cattle, an industrial milk quota. or to expand facilities. . In other business, it was re- ported by secretary-fieldman Bill Crawford, that a blitz of Colborne and West Wawanosh townships produced 59 new members. The July 18 -meeting of the Legislature's Select Committee to define, what. a farm is and who is a farmer -in Wingham was - - announced. HFA President - Mason Bailey 'pointed out "The fact that- this .committee" has been setup is directly due to the pressure the' OFA has .been putting :on government".. - - A' new constitution for the county federation"was•discussed and .w ill be,voted-on at the next meeting inAugust, Someone got a big kick out of a stupid trick last Thursday night. A car belonging to Blyth Fire Chief Irvine Bowes was. stolen Thursday night as the Chief attended the regular Th ursday night meeting of the Blyth Fire Department at thefire hall. The car was found some time later in Turnberry township, burned, Taxes cut for Morris residents Morris township joined the list of area , municipalities with reduced mill rates at its July meeting. • Council meeting on July 2, dropped the business and com- mercial rate from 20 to 16 mills and the farm and resi- dential from 18,1 to 14.4. Other rates are (with last year's rate in brackets): county, 20.79 (20.3); element- ary school, 19.12 and 17.21 (20.3 and 18.3); secondary school, 14.45 and 13.01 (14.1 and 12.7) and separate school 19 mills (12, 5). Council also approved a by- law setting _a tax penalty of three per cent after December 17 and one per cent interest commencing Jan. 1, 1974. In other business, Thomas Miller was delegated to look after repairs to the McCutcheon. Drain. Council approved pay- ment'of membership,to the Huron County' Road Superin- tendents' Association.. A'gr,ant :was issued to the Belgrave Community Centre Board to help in the cost of installing a new furnace. -Council made a ration request- ing the aid of the Huron -Perth Regional Assessment office to prepare a list of canine owners ' in the township while taking enumeration 'in September. Road accounts of $32,777.75 and general accounts of $5, 082; 65" were approved for payment. The next meeting will be held August 6 at 7. p, m. objection in regards to a pro- pane gas storage yard being located beside his bus garage in the northern part of the township, The clerk is also to contact the Energy and Re- sources Management and other appropriate government depart- ments about the yard. Russell Good was present at the meeting to discuss kennel licences and report on dog registrations. John Beane was present to discuss a proposed 'municipal ditch.. Council app- roved the petition for the ditch. Council voiced its approval of the project to compile a history of Huron County' from 1900 to the present and reco- mmended the township clerk co-operate with the students doing the research. The Road Superintendent is to repaint the white lines on the church hill in Londesboro. Building permits were issued 'to D. Watson on concession 1; H. Bakelaar, concession 15; G.- Dale, concession 2; J. Beane, concession 2; A. Kirk- connell, concession S, R. Leip- er, concession ll; J. DeWeerd, concession 9; M. Bean, Con- cession 14; P. Westerhout, con- cession 9 and M. Datema, concession 13. Two building permits were held up for further discussion. Tile drain loan application s were approved for Ed Szusz, concession 13; .C. Brandon, concession 1 and Walter Cunn- ingham, concession 10. A request for repair, improve- ment or alteration of Branch E of the Pollard drain was acc- epted and the drain commiss- ioner was asked ,to investigate. Another such request was made regarding the Kennedy drain and property owners are to be contacted 'regarding the, matter. The assessor, is to be advised the township requests his' aid in counting -'dogs in the township. Membership in the Huron county Road Superintendents association was paid. The next regular meeting 'of council will be August 7. Auburn meets E. Wawanosh over dump A delegation from Auburn was present at the monthly meeting of East Wawanosh council on July 3 in Belgrave. The delegation was in atten- dance to discuss the possibility • of using .East Wawanosh land fill site far dumping garbage from the village. The garbage is presently being dumped in the Blyth-Hullett dump but a recent raise in rates has caused the Auburn council to look elsewhere. • The matter was held over by the: township council for further discussion at a later date. Council rescinded an earlier motion from its June meeting concerning installing hydro. poles and lights at Snell'Feed and Supplies in Westfield and replaced the motion with a new one calling for the installation of poles and lights on' township property in Westfield. A grant of $15 was given to the _Huron C punty' Road Super- intendents. A 'livestock' claim of $1, 392 - to Schultz Bros. was paid for. damage done due to dogs running at large in the township: E.R. Snell, livestock claim evaluator waived his fees in the claim. Road accounts of $4, 046, 38 and general accounts of .$2,078.84 were approved for payment.; centre o It seems at long last, someone has looked at a map and learned a little of the geography of Huron'Conty. , - For many years, Clinton has been regarded both inside and d outside" thetown as the centre of the county,' Yet anyone who- looks ho-looks at the whole county (including Howick and Turnberry tow» ships) will soon realize that the town closest to the centre Of the county is Blyth, .The new awareness of the central position of Blyth has been evidenced in two recent decisions. - First, last spring, there, was the decision of Huron Tractor Ltd. to locate their big new service dept in Blyth to serve the area north of the companies present location in Exeter. Then there was the decision of the Huron County Pork Producers to ask fora second marketing yard for the county. The site they recommended was Blyth. It seems to be a recognition that is long overdue. Perhaps others wilibegin to see that if they want to serve the county, and particularly the uorthern two-thirds of the county, Blyth is:the place they,should locate. The county is at present considering a new facility to incr- ease bed care for senior citizens, Two courses are to be explored: one to expand Huronview and the second to build a separate facility for bed care patients. If the latter course is decided upon, it would seem that Blyth would be an excell- ent choice for a site. She's Queen, not God.. If the Royalty is losing prominence in Canada, it's easy to fir,' the reason, 'fhe recent royal tour of Canada has shown us that many • people take the Queen so seriously they turn others away from the Crown. This overzealous worship of the Queen is something that seems to be much mere a part of Canada than of Britain where the Queen is treated more matter-of-factly. Scott Young in a recent column in the Globe and Mail pointed out that the tour showed a real flaw in our regard to the Queen. There was too much awe evident, he said to' allow a proper relationship. While most Canadians have been readjusting their feelings toward the Queen in recent years, there are still those who feel so strongly for the monarchy, they tend to make people react in the opposite direction, On the day the Queen arrived in Toronto, for instance, The Globe and Mail ran a cartoon showing the Queen posed, smiling," in front of the famous piece of sculpture, The Archer, in Toronto's city square. Prince Philip was taking her picture just like thousands of other tourists do. One gets the feeling that the Queen with her sense of humour would have enjoyed this gentle humour. Readers of the paper did not see the .humour, or at least some didn't. One wrote to say it was an insult to the Queen. Similarly, the Toronto Star ran a large front page story about Margaret Trudeau, complete with colour picture of the Prime Minister's wife together with her son the Saturday before the Queen arrived in Canada. The article brought a letter protesting that the article was an insult to the Queen, (a story on the Queen's tour was displayed on the front of the second section). By last Thursday, the controversy was so thick that more than half a page of letters_ to the editor -were.- printed, some condeming the paper, sone supporting the paper and asking for more on Margaret. Only one, a first world war veteran seemed to grasp the situation when he noted that there was no connection between the two articles and the story for Margaret Trudeau in no way was intended to slight the Queen. The problem is, as evident in the Trudeau controversy, that peoplewith such suffocating loyalty to the Queen are polarizing the rest of society. They make it impossible to be neutral. If the Queen thought so much of herself and her position as some people think we all should. What a dull person she would be instead of the gracious one she is now. Sunday should be a holiday A committee in Goderich is fighting a campaign at' present against the local A &P store in that town. The store has announced it will remain open on Sundays for shopping. / The reason the store gives is that it wants to serve the vacationers of the area who want to shop on Sunday. They. aren't, the management say, interested in the business of the local people. The committee argues that the move will start a trend that will soon see all, steres open. - In a free enterprise system, it is good to have -a few -controls as possible, but it seems time there should be a few controls on the operating hours of stores, It is easy far an -executive in a large chain like A&P to. make a decision on longer hours because he'll be off enjoying the weatherat his weekend - place anyway. -It is his staff,' that has to look after the store on the day that.should be -a holiday. One can, perhaps, see wisdom in some small stores being open to serve the public, stores that take only one or two _ persons to. run, but big stores like A&P'supermarkets-require . a large staff and that means marry people are being deprive d of the chance to have the Sunday holiday they deserve. There should be one day"of-the week when business doesn't --- matter, one day- free of worrying about money, one day to relax or go to church. Action must be taken by government - right .nway before we -lose that special feeling Sunday has of be ing different from any other day.

The Board recommended that plumbing inspection be reinst- ated in Huron. It also recommended that "authorization be granted by County Council to engage an administrator, one field worker with the possibility of a second worker ata later date, and a 'secretary." Board of Health further reco- mmended that the present by- law (by-law 58 of 1961) be up- dated and submitted to County Council at a later date for en- -dorsation. The Board's report also stressed that this department would be "a separate function and would not necessarily be under the jurisdic- tion of the Board of Health but would work in close co-operation with the Medical Officer of Health and his' related staff." In their comments back to the Board of Health survey the various municipalities of Huron (Townships) were approximately • divided equally in their reaction to plumbing inspection and the proposal to carry it out. An accounting of the town- ship reaction was attached to the Board's report to County Council. Ashfield opposed plumbing inspection noting that, they felt more information was needed.

Grey noted they would be interested in a County Inspec- tion if the Township by-law could be enforced. • The Township of Hay noted that it had its own by-laws and itsown,inspectors and opposed the idea. How ick supported the sugges- tion of plumbing inspection, McKillop noted its opposition to the scheme. * Hullett went against the idea saying that it was too inefficient and expensiveunder the present proposal. Morris favored the proposal but noted that inspection carried out five years, ago under a pro- gram operated by the -Health Unit was quite satisfactory. . Stanley did not support the suggestion saying that inspection on a County basis would be very difficult to finance with rural -and urban areas on the same basis.

The town of Goderich said it would!"consider plumbing ins- pection on a County basis," Bayfield agreed "in principle but not to the by-law and fees in the present form." Brussels was in agreement but noted that they felt the County rates would be too costly, Hensall council felt it would be too expensive and it would require more than two inspec- tors to police the work properly on a County basis. Zurich was in agreement noting that building and plum- bing inspection should be applicant to all rural and -urban buildings. At its June meeting, Blyth council had indicated its support of plumbing inspection. Without adding further com- ment East Wawanosh supported the proposal, West Wawancsh opposed it as did Wingham while, Blyth gave the"idea its support. The mixed reaction to the Board of Health's proposal shown in the survey submissions was also evident as members of County Council debated the Board's request for approval at last Fridav's meeting. , Costs and the administration set up of the proposed new department brought the most opposition with debate center- ing around cast distribution and the need to set up a completely new department rather than incorporating a. plumbing in- spector with the present Health Unit. After about 20 minutes of'dis- 'cussion the report was turned back to the board of Health "for further study" by the council members. One part of the Board's report was approved however.

Workmen's Compensation Boas and The Safety Associations, ont�ario • BY REV. YF` CARSON The- Blyth Vacation Bible. School is "presently in its second.. and final week of -operation and I am confident that those who have been waking with the children, over the past two weeks have left their mark deeplyimplanted in the young minds of this community.- That is,the'children of today have been left with a limited, but, nevertheless, a verysignificant amount 'dew Lord's teaching. ; .- , From a Christian point of view any amount of scriptural 'teachingis important and I think that this is particularly true , when we consider.that this, together with regular Sunday School . is the total stria of Christian teaching to be received by the ma arityof the children in attendance. There are a few . children presently attending the V. B. S. who, in all probability will not receive any further instruction until next summer. This basad thing, but we should thank God that only asmall. • minority is in this category. Nevertheless, if any one child is in this situationit is one too many, but although this is unfortunate yet his not unexpected in an age of doubters and skeptics. If children are reared in these homes, they, too, will possess the attitude of hopelessness, which is prevalent among those who reject God, and they will find it very difficult to choose between Christianity and another way. of life. Then again, perhaps theyrwonrt'have any particular trouble choosing, because they will have been well entrenched in the ways of the World and would continue to live accordingly If the child's not reared in a Christian home then he will have no idea of what living the Christian life truly means,- unless Christ touches them through one of His followers. Perhaps you are thinking that I have a negative attitude and I probably have from a worldly point of. view,' but I would ask you to think about what I.have said for a minute. Do you know Christ in your heart? Is your home a Christian home where your children will know what it really means to live the Christ - Ian life? Are your children moving towards a fuller life in Jesus Christ or are they heading for a worldly life of futility and impending damnation at'they continue their journey away from God? These are questions which only you are ahle to answers and answer them you must whether it be now or in the . futu Think about it. I could be later than you think. It seems to me that we often think that we are Christians by virtue of the fact that we live in country which has,been founded on Christian principles. This thinking is as.nonsensical as trying to ride along on the Faith of another, because -the decision to accept or reject Jesus Christ must remain a personal one. If we ask Jesus into our lives he will give us the strength and guidance to really begin -living. True life begins with the Saviour. The theme for this year's V. B.S. will become a reality to each of us and will become meaningful to each of our children— when we begin to live the' Christian life. As we give ourselves to Jesus Christ, we shall come -to the personal knowledge that there is only ',One Way with Jesus", and that is the way of truth, joy, peace and eternal life.

When,you breathe normally, air goes through your windpipe at a speed of 10 miles an hour. When you cough, you whip up hurricane wind speeds, The blast of air is created in milliseconds in your windpipe by a rapid increase in pressure built up by powerful chest mus- cles. As the cough starts, your windpipe constricts to one-seve- nth its usual size. The amount of air in the windpipe increases seven times. Then out comes the cough. At a spped of almost 500 miles an hour. The cough is a sign of distress -- and an attempt to relieve the distress. Coughing is one way the respiratory system tries to get rid of excess mucus and irritants. But some coughs can be useless because they do not clear our mucus and irritants. They only add to irritation. The time of day you cough can be a clue to what's causing it. A smoker's cough --which can develop into chronic bronchities -- usually occurs most often in 'the morning to clear out excess secretions that accumulate dur- ing the night. Coughs caused by TB may also be most troublesome in the morning. Coughs caused by sinus conditions, however, often happen most at night when a person is lying down. Whenever it happens, a per- sistent cough requires medical attention and should not be suppressed with the aid of home remedies. Your cough is trying to tell you something. Start listening. And to find out more about symptoms 'of lung disease'con- tact your local lung association. It's a matter of life and breath. Yours. finished high school!

We arrived at.Tamworth a week ago at a cousin of Piggy's (Laurence Campbell's wife) where .we were royally enter- tained by short trips to points of interest. We went over_ one . mount- ain road with hair pin turns so sharp we had to back up to make; it. After four days we left and;headed west to a National Park and spent two days exploring by foot as there are no roads there, The Park has some of the world's oldest extinct volcanos, They are estimated to'be 13 million years old, Therefore there are these strange hills of solid lava towering out of the land- scape, as the rest of the volcano has eroded away in these millions of years, We had a lot of kangaroos - around our camp in the morning and the birdlife was very prol- ific. We than went West again over dirt roads to Lightning Ridge which is the only place in the world where black opals are mined, It is very unique, with all kinds of living quartets, from corrugated steel, lumber, stone and one was made of bottles. They"are very primitive homes and the people very rough. The people work their own claims . and we could have bought one for $2 and started digging too, It is a very floating population and most are working.on:their holidays or have a second inc- ome to keep'the in- going as most of it Is luck., It "is a big tax dodge as most of the trans- had the same plans as us,' so we actions are cash and no records. travelled together for the next Our next point.of interest was few days, They were from Ham - Wee Waw the cotton growing = centre of Australia.

The Water Play Area has a range of aquatic play events to keep children wet and laugh- ing for hours. Adults may look on enviously when youngsters attempt the,. challenge of staying dry while getting from mainland to island on hand slides that pass through timed jets of water. Instead of Tug ()'War, there's Tug ()'Water -- buckets of water tip over stationary bicycles when one rider pedals faster than the other. Instead of water guns, there are pedal cannons: the child builds up water pressure within the cannon and directs the jet of water at a target. Children can coast through fountain slides that are walls of water and end up in a rubber pool, or send jets of water squirting from a light- hearted variety of human -shaped heads on Push and Pump. For the sprinkler set there is an umbrella of water called fun fountain, and a trickle area of pump puddles, turn taps and flood pools, The Water Play Area is divided into three levels con- nected by waterfalls through which there is a constant flow of purified, heated water. Entertainment is not confined only to the water, as there is a "kids' drier" shaped like a bird. To dry off, the child crawls through the giant beak into a huge warm -air drier built into the bird's body.

Tips on sweet and sour cherries The cherry season is a short one -= only three weeks --from about July 9 to 21 for sweet cherries and July 1.5 to August 1 for sour cherries. Food spec- ialists at :the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say you can freeze cherries with or without sugar, and suggest you clip these easy directions for referral when the time cones. Sweet Cherries Frozen:. Fresh Ontario sweet cherries can be frozen "as iso without the addition of sugar. For best results, freeze the 'whole, fully ripe fruit. Select black varieties (preferably Schmidt, Vic, or Hedelfingen). To help retain color and flavor, you may add ascorbic acid. For the unsweetened pack, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon powdered at crystalline asc- orbic acid in 1/4 cup cold water. Sprinkle over each four cups of fruit and, mix gently. You ca n freeze,cherries in single layers on shallow, trays and then package as individual pieces; or bag, tie, and freeze. Sweet cherries can also be frozen unpitted in a cold syrup. Dissolve one cup of sugar in three cups of water and add 1/4 teaspoon powdered or crystalline ascorbic acid Li four cups of syrup. Pack the prepared fruit in rigid conta- iners and cover with syrup. It is important to leave 1 inch head -space to allow for expa- nsion during freezing. To keep the fruit submerged in the syrup, place a small piece of crumpled, moisture -resistant paper between the fruit and the lid, Freezing Sour Cherries: Sour cherries freeze nue successfully than sweet cherries. Wash, pit, and stem the cherries. If you wish to add FlNAL3DAYSo°JR SAVE NOW ON ascorbic acid, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon powdered or crys- talline ascorbic acid in 1/4 cup cold water. Sprinkle over each four cups perpared fruit and mix gently before adding the sugar. Then add one cup sugar to each four cups of prepared fruit. Stir gently., Pack the fruit -sugar - mixture as soon as the sugar is dissolved and freeze immed- iately. Make a Cherry Pie: A quick trick for pies is to prepare the fruit with the usual sugar and add thickener. Mix sugar, fruit and thickener. until the sugar is dissolved. Freeze in appropriate sized aluminum foil pie plates covered tightly with foil. To make the pie, do not thaw the fruit. Remove it still frozen' from th aluminum foil plate, place in an'unbaked pie shell, add seasoning and dots of butter as desired, cover with pastry, and bake. & DEMONSTRATOR MACHINES BIG SAV S .ON YARD:: GOODS & SEWING SUPPLIES iom mi nci 1u essui tyl i t ;i ti121;1111 a a MARY'SSEWINGENTRE.;_,. 17 ALBERT=ST, CLINTON : 482-7036 NEW AND • • THE BLYTH STANDARD, July 11, 1973, PG.9, PerSoflaIIi SpcaNlog Visiting with Mrs. Bert Van Lammeren for a couple of weeks is her sister, Mrs. De Koning from Australia who will be travelling to Holland on leaving here, Visitors with Mr. and Mrs, Tom Gardner and family on the' weekend were Miss- Nellie Gardner of Chatham and Miss Florence Gardner. of Bothwell.

L McCutcheon, -cha- irman of the Huronview Board of Management, and C.A. Archibald,°Huronview admin istrator, told the meeting that the waiting list for bed care is steadily growing. 'They told the me niers there was no increased pressure in other service 'areas -- at Huronview but that more space for bed care residents was a growing need. In his report Mr. McCutcheon noted, "You will have noted there have been large numbers of applications in the past few months, As a result we now: have a waiting.list for the bed care sections." "If this trend continues it appears consideration will have to be given to an addition, or a new building elsewhere to provide accomodation for the large number of applicants requiring more extensive nur- sing care, " "There isr no doubt,"! he told the meeting, "this type of patient can be cared far_ much more economically in our .. type of accomodation rather than in hospital where the rates range from a, minimum of appro- ximately $40 per day.'" "Our bed care section at the present, time is operating at a maximum of $14 per resident day," .

We wrote a couple weeks ago, that the most Likely result o the irice freeze imposed in the USA by the 'resident of that country, would be higher prices when the freeze is over, It appeared that everything was already headed that way, with farmers killing thousands of chickens, pork producers selling theirpregnant sows for slaughter and beef producer their pregnant COWS, Cuthacks in food production were taken all over the USA. One big producer in Texas destroyed 200,000 baby chicks. Now measures are instituted to help keep the price down for farm imputs which I thought four. weeks ago as the only way to hold food cost down, 001401210104****101** You may think that soybean growers are making a killing these days with soybean prices at one time close to twelve dollars a bushel. You better think again, for most growers sold his beans a year ago fcr about $3.30. The profit goes to the speculator who buys and sells futtres contracts, often without having any beans available. The same bushel is sold repeatedly and every time the price moves up. The livestock feeder has to pay the artificially high price, and in the end it is the consumer who pays the shot. Futures markets can be very useful, but it now appears that they can be eas ily abused too. 44401:421c001010001* • Egg wholesalers are still crying that the egg producer receives a fair return on his investments and labour. They would dearly like to see the return of the time before the marketing board, when eggs were produced below cost. At that time they were making a killing, getting rich off the loss of the farmer. Now that production costs have skyrocketed, the producer can, through his marketing board pass some of these costs on to the consumer.

Synthetic Methionine cuts hog feed costs Swine producers facing prices in excess of $450 per ton for soybean oil meal can reduce the useage of this feed stuff in hog rations by adding methioine, a synthetic amino acid, in care- fully regulated amounts. Methionine is the first impor- tant amino acid to become def- icient in the ration when the level of soybean oil meal supple- mentation is cut back. I some . synthetic methionine can be suppliid, the amount of soybean oil meal in the ration can only be reduced to the point at which the other essential amino acids are affected, say T.B. Daynard, Crop Scientist and H.S. Bayley, Animal Nutritionist, University of Guelph, The addition of 2 pounds per ton of synthetic methionine per- mits a reduction of about 100 pounds of soybean oil meal per ton of finished feed, according to calculations based on National Research Council Feed- ing Standards. Using a common commercial 50 -pound -per -ton vitamin -mineral premix, satis- factory rations for growing hogs would be as follows: Dry Corn -- 1,600 lb. of dry corn, 350 lb. of 44 per cent soybean oirmeal, -59 113.- of pre- mix, 2 lb, of methionine, High Moisture Corn -- 1,650 Ib.' of wet corn, 300 lb.' of 44 per cent soybean oil meal, 50 lb; ofpremix, 2 lb. of methionine.

Usually, the salesman is a persuasive talker who makes exaggerated claims for his pro- duct. He preys on either the economy- minded farmer look- ing for a simple, inexpensive way to increase crop yields and crop quality, or the organic farmer who wants to fertilize his crops, using norg anid1 materia Is. The fertility quack is easy to spot, says H. C. Lang, soils and crops specialist, Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food. Here are a few tips: He claims his product pro- motes healthier soil bacteria and the growth of earthworms which condition the soil and unleash the nutrients already in it, He will not guarantee the nitrogen, phosphorus or pot- assium content of this product, thus side-stepping the Canada Department of Agriculture Fert- ilizer Act. He offers no unbiased resea- rch results to back up his claims, Instead he points to testimonials, usually from farmers in the United States. There is no way of know- ing if these observations are valid or apply to localOntario soil conditions, When asked what the local extension specialist thinks' of the product, the quack will reply: "Don't ask him. He pro- bably wouldn't know the value of our product and so wouldn't rec- ommend it," ONLY YOJI CAN GIVE THE GIFT • OF LIFEI BE A REGULAR BLOOD DONOR Homay criticize research scie- ntists at agricultural universities and colleges, saying: "They won't test our product.11 The prodUctthe quack is promoting may not bo licensed for‘sale in Canada, Do not believoltim if he says you can import it for use on your farm.

Improper mixing can concentrate the methionine in certain parts of the feed, pos- sibly resulting in death to some, hogs. It is very important that hog producers do not increase the addition of methionine beyond the recommended levels, Four pounds of methionine will not replace 200 pounds of soybean oil meal. Such a practice • would only reduce the level of other essential amino acids to the point that the diet would no longer support economic grow- th. These methionine -substituted rations should produce rates of gain and feed efficiencies equal to the rations they replaced. It is important to remember that, as with all 50 -pound premix based feeds, the rations will be marginal in calcium and phos- phorus, Farmers requiring more information should contact their local agricultural office. scheduled .!The Huron County Beef Imp- rovement Association is sponsor- ing a beef barbecue -and dance at the Seaforth Memorial Centre on Wednesday, August 1. •Tickets are available through Huron County Beef Improvement Association township directors.

I wish I 'could say I'd been on vacation, but I haven't. The reason for it not being included intthe last couple of issues was that we had a limited amount of space and, frankly, we thought there were mere important bits of news to go in the paper than this column. When you write a regular column you can come up with some good work and some that just fills up space. Sometimes that space could better be used to convey other information. Two bits of information came to hand the other day that give cause for some thought. The first was an article in the Cana- dian magazine about theatres across Canada. The revealing information came in the part about Stratford. The theatre seats over 2200 per- sons when full. The rest of the information cane from the Tor- onto Star where it was reported that the best at -tended play at Stratford was filling 85 per cant of the seats every performance and the worst was filling 70 per cent. I did a little mental arithmetic. Taking even the lower attendance and it works out to 1540 persons at each and every performance. Tickets prices range all the way up to $10, but let's take $5 as an average. That works out to an income of $7700 per per- formance or $32, 900 per week. The festival is open three months oc mare (let's average it out at 13 weeks). Income for a season then would be $577,700. This income includes only the Festival Theatre operations, not the events at the Avon The- atre or the Third Stage or special events which also boost revenue. It's easy to see then that Stratford theatre 3s big business. Yet will all that money com- ing in, the theatre still is in the red every single year. Every year hundreds of thousands of dollars from the taxpayers money is pumped into Stratford to help meet the costs. Now I love the theatre. I'm immensely pleased we now have a theatre group in Blyth and can hardly wait to have beautiful. Memorial Hall back in operation. I'm proud to have the Stratford Theatre nearby in all its splendor. But I have to wonder if we're being taken for a big ride. Surely if all the grants were pulled away tomorrow, the festival wouldn't fall flat on its face... ..not with the kind of income it has. BLT holds youth group auditions Auditions for the youth div- ision of Blyth Little Theatre's first production will be held Thursday night, July 12. The production, to be pre- pared during the summer, will be presented early in the fall. All local teenagers of high school age are invited to try out for parts in the play. Abe (6Co6c Ana is now available at The Blyth. Standard office I talked to one theatre prod- :ucer.and-director recently who told me StraJfocd doesn't even try to inake money. If they did, they would lose their grants from various.levels of govern- ment. They may not need. the grants now, but someday they might, sotheY continually over- spend to show a deficit so they can keep getting grants. - I don't know that he's right. It may Just be jealousy on his part. But I have a stinking hunch he's pretty accurate in his assessment. Stratford is. a huge example of the welfare cycle., But how long must it go on. Stratford has grown up, now and shouldn't have to have its weekly allowance .like a child. Couldn't this government aid be better used to encourage other, smaller groups? The money Stratford gets in a year could keep a dozen or so small groups -going all year. Many critics have complained lately thatthe quality of work at the Festival has fallen off badly. Maybe it's because Stratford is the fat cat of Can- adian culture.. Maybe if the grants were cut off and the, festival had to scratch for a living for a while, it would be- gin to work harder to present better performances. It seems time at least for the governments (both federal and provincial) to look into the possibility that Stratford is • wasting taxpayer money. st Susan: Lobb 'of Clinton, Ruth :Currie of,•Wingham and -Jane Laidlaw of Whitechurch; part of the SWEEP crew working .under the Maitland' Valley Conservation Authority"throw trash on a truck at the Blyth Cemetery, The girls are _among six students working in the, area for • the summer.: )4- in The Blyth Standard building BOONS If you like books the way we do, you'll like browseing among the hundreds of new and old books on display.
