agricultural repre sentative ken wilson a a wall york cty in the next month or two an is sue of crucial importance to every farmer in york county has to be settled its about the kind of or ganization that will repie- sent the farm industry for at least the next twenty years if enough people 15000 sign a petition asking for a vote to establish one farm organization then a vote for all farmers their wives and family members over 21 will be held probably in june in my opinion fanners in york should be lining up to sign this petition the decision by this vote is the ultimate in democracy its one of the rare occasions when every individual has a chance to express his opinion its a sad fact though that at meetings ive been at in york where the petition has been pre sented the reaction has been one of indifference if you have opinions or preferences on what farm organizations should do then get a hold of any di rector of either the federa tion of agriculture or the farmers union and sign the petition this week if you dont care at all then dont bother while im at it i msy as well say that i think the general farm organization should be voted in this is a personal opinion only be cause we in the depart ment have not been asked to take a stand one way or the other my main reason is that agriculture desperately needs to be well organized if its going to be healthy need extra seed i make

the sugar maples many old timers have re collections of standing on a country road and from one spot being able to see steam rising from half a dozen or more sugar houses its not so today many maple woodlots have been cut over and many no longer produce maple syrup the mcst important reason for the decline is the difficulty in obtaining seasonal help and subse quent high labour costs many who attempted to stick with the old methods of handling and processing maple syrup were forced to cease operations for these reasons also the maple operation has tradi tionally been a family operation but today the sons and daughters leave home for school or em ployment in cities in 1966 the ontario de partment of lands and for ests ard the ontario de partment of agriculture and food recognizing the rapid decline in maple syrup production joined forces to provide assistance and incentive to revitalize ontarios maple industry a maple syrup specialist walter humphreys of bar- rie ontario was appointed by the department of agri culture and food numer ous meetings were held throughout southern on tario resulting in the for mation of the ontario maple syrup producers as sociation fortunately in recent years more efficient equip ment for handling and pro cessing maple syrup has been produced this equip ment enables the producer to streamline his operation reduce labour required and spread the work over a longer period new oil fired deep flue evaporators handling boil ing much quicker and re quire less attention use of taphole paraformaldehyde pellets enable producers to tap trees before the sap flow season with the as surance that the first as well as the last run of sap will be obtained plastic tubing can be set up to con vey the sap directly from the bush to the evaporator house thus eliminating the daily labour requirement of collecting sap from buckets capital grants and in terest free loans are now available to maple sugar producers in ontario who wish to establish
