paper on taxation could be an incentive to commit murder this was one amusing illustration as the ontario federation of agriculture explained its suggested changes to the white paper during a daylong workshop conference at toronto the ofa is pressing for the provision to allow an orderly transfer of the family farm between generations without waiting for the death of the parent the white paper stipulates waiting until after death before tran sferring the farm john roberts mp a member of the taxation committee told the conference that very few farmers have written to the government to suggest changes in the white paper proposals malcolm davidson a member of the ofa executive warned that farmers must abandon their role as a silent minority if they wish to gain any changes in the tax proposals he stated that deliberate moves must continue to bring alter native proposals to the attention of the govern ment the ofa has cir culated over 2000 copies of their suggested changes to the white paper across all of ontario the federation wants all farmers to write faster grows faster after its up and could withstand adverse weather better some lettuce growers at bradford are seeding along this line too seeds are all placed on their sides uniformly so that they all emerge at the same time many vegetables could be seeded in this way by first sticking the seed to plastic tape and then planting the tape unfortunately this wont work for corn because it has to be positioned ver tically so the corn men will have to spend a few days to stand the seed up properly seeding barley on frozen ground is another idea to consider it has been done for several years now there isnt any doubt that a plant starting in early april grows to a very rugged and higher yielding maturity the trick has been to get enough of them going water moves the seed birds get some of it there is some freezing and too often we get a patchy stand weeds are a problem too grass weeds will outgrow barley in cold weather so a suitable field has to be free of grass and it should have had fer tilizer worked in last fall still frost seeding is a challenging idea and challenge has always been an ingredient in the far ming game another one might be to try some corn without tillage again a large seed like corn doesnt need a to their mps about the white paper mr davidson stressed that farmers must become involved in the change of the tax system without getting caught up in the hysteria which has gripped many segments of society concerning the taxation proposals fine pulverized seedbed as long as it is covered and not buried too deep it will be quite happy in between last years rows of stubble fertilizer treatment is more restricted of course and weed spraying has to be right on but ill bet that before long farmers will figure out a way to do it successfully another point on placing the seed right end up tests show that when the corn was two feet high the upside down seeds had caught up to
