at Oe Junior Farmer Group In Denmark, Sweden THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, September 6, 1966 5 5 Highway Accidents wy waa ae SES GR, a a neneare Bm 3-33 By H. LYNN FAIR On June 1 our Junie Farm- er groun left Belfast by air and landed at the new Abbotsinch Airport, Glasgow. We were met by two Scottish Young Farm- ers who had been in Ontario on an exchange visit in 1964 and 1965. Our first stop was in Edin- burgh where we met R. F. Gregor, secretary, Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs. During the next two days we visited a number of places of historical interest in and around Edinburgh. We will have more to say about these in the next article. On June 4 the Ontario Junior Farmers went out to the farm homes where they were to stay during the first half of their visit. They each stayed in two different farm homes while in Scotland, With the Juniors safe- ly taken care of it gave us a chance to visit the Continent. Our first stop was' at Copen- hagen. We registered in the Alexandra Hotel on H. C. Andersen's Boulevard, We later realized that the H, C. stood for Hans Christian when we near Edmonton, An American girl from New York City who was enrolled as a student in the Domestic Science course, the teacher's, a Danish girl mar- ried to an American sailor who is doing his two years military service with the 6th fleet in the Mediterranean, They. met at a College in Florida where both were doing post graduate work. Nearly everyone that we met could speak English well enough that we had no lan- guage problem. Many of the Danes spoke excellent: English. RED DANISH CATTLE We visited a farm near Has- lev with a show herd of Red Danish cattle. This is a general purpose breed. They were big cattle with strong tops, deep bodies, good bone, and udders that indicated good milk pro- duction. While we were on the farm, they were spraying spring barley for weeds, and were getting their forage har- vesting equipment ready to start on grass silage the next day, You will realize from this saw a statute to his memory on the City Hall Square. VISIT SWEDEN Being so close to Sweden we felt we would like to go there even if it was only for a few hours. We went by bus. The ferry crossing from Dragor, Denmark, to Molmo, Sweden, took 45 minutes, then by bus for about four hours around the south of Sweden. We went through some excellent farm land. The main crops were win- ter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, and a small acreage of Rape, which was in full bloom. There were very few fences and what livestock we saw were tethered and they were mostly Holsteins. The following day we visited the Agricultural and Domestic) Science School at Haslev. The Town of Hasley is about 50 miles from Copenhagen. Travel- ling time was about an hour ant a quarter by train. Our 'trip had been arranged in ad- vance by K. Nyenhuis, Com- mercial Counsellor, Canadian Embassy, Copenhagen. Jens Moeslund, Principal of May. We met some interesting peo- ie at the college, a boy stu- mt who in the past year had epent six months on a farm the} School, was our host for the| that the season is very much ithe same as ours. In early June these are jobs that are learried out on many farms in Ontario. We also visited an Artificial Insemination Station. There were around 25 bulls in serv- ice, mostly Red Danish with a few Holsteins. They have a Bull testing program very similar to ours, only the highest test- ing Bulls are put into regular service. We also visited a pig testing station, one of 44 in Denmark. Only 4 stations are operated by the Government, the rest are operated by Packing Plants and the Landrace Breeders' Association. | NETHERLANDS VISITED Our itinerary in the Nether- lands was arranged by Bruce Marshall, Commercial Counsel- lor, Canadian Embassy, The Hague. We made our _head- quarters at Arnhem, Mr. G. Veenstra, Inspector of Agricul- tural Education of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, jarranged our visits. He spent one day with us as our guide. The Netherlands has about 6.5 million acres of land, this makes it about twice the size of Northern Ireland. With the exception of around half million acres of forest, all the rest is and we aiso taixea Ww Giie Ge) 2 worked with about half of this or three million acres in hay and pasture. Fifty percent of all farms are less than 25 acres t= sive There are a few large farms but the average size ot farm in the Netherlands is 30 acres. As far as farm prices are concerned, the Dutch Govern- ment pursues a policy which aims more and more at the prevention of surpluses and to). make farmers face the actual marketing possibilities. For milk, sugar beets and potatoes, the Government guarantees the prices only for specific quanti- ties. The production in excess of this quantity must be sold at world maii.ct prices, which means that farmers generally receive, for their total produc- tion, from 5 to 10 percent below the guaranteed price. We were too late arriving in the Netherlands to see the tulips at their best, but there were still plenty of other flowers. Bulb farming is big business. Over 25,000 acres are devoted to this crop each year. Most of the bulbs are exported. NEW FARMING AREA We spent considerable time in the North Eastern Polder. This is a. relatively new farm- ing area; the enclosing dike was built in 1944. It was pumped dry in 10 months and contains approximately 120,000 acres. The soil is neutral in reaction, high in Potash, but needs fairly heavy applications of Nitrogen and Phosphorus. The main crops grown: in the Polder are grass and hay 50 percent sugar beets, winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, some oats, potatoes and some market garden crops. There is very little fruit at the present time but this acreage,| according to Mr. Veenstra, is) likely to increase. The farms in the North East- ern Polder vary in size from 30 acres to 120 acres, It is not easy to rent a farm in one of the new Polders. There is aj waiting list of from 15 to 20) farmers for each. new farm} when it becomes available. The new farmers must possess ade- quate working capital, be mar- ried; and prive that they have the ability to work efficiently and. are up to date in the use of modern agricultural methods.

And they fight what they call anti-Communist party elements in the purge now sweeping Red China. No one knows how many Red Guards there are now. But it is apparent their numbers are in- creasing throughout the coun- try. So far, their activities have been confined to the big cities. Their next move will be to the countryside Now made up of middle school, high school and univer- sity students, they probably will be enlarged to include other young revolutionaries, One thing is unquestionable: They sprang up Aug. 18 and indulged in a series of unexpectedly spon taneous acts, including violence and coercion To put thm back under con- trol, Communist Party Chair- man Mao Tse-tung and Defence Minister Lin Piao, directing China's - current purge, called 500,000 of them to- gether last week to lay down the law: No force, no coercion The response has been immedi- ate.

Another on County Road HALIFAX (CP)---Gerald Cap- lan of Toronto Monday appealed to the Canadian Union of Stu- dents to take a stand against Rhodesia's white-minority gov- ernment and the union re- sponded with a similar appeal to Prime Minister Pearson. "You are now our spokes- man" Caplan told delegates to the union's 30th annual con- gress, "IT want you to take a stand. . . « Philosophical or intellec- tual--that's irrelevant, but take some material stand." Caplan, 28, a university his- ory lecturer expelled from Rhodesia in July, said students at Rhodesia's University Col- lege wanted to denounce the government's unilateral declar- ation of independence, but were forbidden by their principal. He said more drastic actions Mr. Prouse began his em- ployment in Febraury 1938 and issued 51 permits that year. So far this year 476 permits have been issued for buildings in the Town- ship.

The contrariness of human nature makes | merchandising experts age prematurely, | Here's an example of why: The National Safety Council recently made o survey of why many people who hod sect belts installed in thelr cars re- fused to weer them. The answers eren't too surprising to marketing men who have experienced the low sales appeal of safety. A very large percentage of motorists said that seat belt brought unpleasant images of wrecks and injury to their minds, By not using the belts they blenked out the fe image end thereby felt safer. Most motorists conceded that the belts might save their lives but couldn't be bothered using them. Women complained thet the belts wrinkled their clothing and many men thought they were "sissified" though "alright for women and children." In every auto accident there are two collisions. One when the body of the car strikes on object. A second one when the bodies of the occupants strike the inside of the cor. The second collision does the human damage. If @ car body wos built like @ Sherman tank, nothing knows today but « seat belt could stop the deadly second collision. Seot belts create pleasant images too. And they have social significance. I'm reminded of the bobby-sox teenager saying te her friend os her fiance drove off in his convertible: 'I just know Alvin is faithful. His seat belt NEVER needs adjusting." 4 ees NORTHSIDE CHRYSLER DODGE 9iB BROCK ST. N 9 BE ON > WHITBY wirh Peace
