THURSDAY APRIL Sth 1951 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMM~VTLLE, ONTAMO DAV~1! ~m.ym President Hannam Presents Other Side of Question on Subsidies 4à,epeople in Canada have been~ trying to make thc public believe that farmers arc the only ones Who get subsidies or price support. They forgct that for lnany years millions have been paid in one way or another to in- dustry and commerce," dcclared H. H. Hannam, president of the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture, in an address delivered inî Winnipeg March 27. before the annual banquet of thc Manitoba, Dairy and Poultry Co-Operative organization. The protective tarif t for in- dustry, which is price support in1 reality, over several gencrations, has cost the people of Canada miany millions, said Mr. Hannam.

In twenty years the cost to ail the people of Can- ada had been something like three billions. ,Although there arc only 23,000 enployees in Canada*s gold in- dustry, said Mr. Hannam, that in- dustry had been subsidized by tho Federal Government in one year alone, 1949, to the extent of $13.7 millions in spite of the fact that 38 of the largcst go]d mines in that year made a net profit of $16 millions. The gold subsidy was in effect thrce years and will likely be renewed. The subsidies on coal move- ments had been nearly four mil- lions in 1949, and on steel and iron industries. over four and a haîf millions, Mr. Hannam pointed oui. These were the latcst figures av- ailable. Special Concessions Through special allowances for depreciation, tax concessions, and such like, wartime industry in Canada had benefittcd by many millions, declared Mr. Hannam, in his Winnipeg address.

Important Real Esiate Deal Made When Lloyd Ayre Buys Gi Farm To Raise Sheep and Border Collies On the north side of No. 2 Highway, about a mile east of Bowmanville Ccmetery, an his- toric farm that dates back to 1828 was reccntly purchased by W. A. Lloyd Ayrc. Until February, 1951, it was knoxvn as the Gili Farm; before that, At belonged to the Joncss family, but 123 years ago the land was first deeded from the Crown to King's College. Originally a parcel of 115 acres, several acres on the north end of the farm were purchased by Or- ville K. Osborne; approximatcly cighit acres have been rctained by Charles Gili, but the balance, or 95 acres, he sold to Lloyd Ayre. The ncw owner intends building up a flock of Southdown sheep for showv purposes, and raising Border collies. Mr-. Avre is no stranger ta the shecp business. For the Past four years lie has been flock superin- tendent P.t Don Head Farm. Richi- mond Hill, and his father before him. Alfred Ayre, now living re- tired in Oshawa, gained an cen- viable reputation in ibis district for his Southdown and Cheviot shecp. Coles From Scotland Taking the farmi over officially in Febrîiary, Mr. Ayre and his wife Arlene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arley Northcutt. Bowman- ville. startcd negotiating for the importation of Border coHlies frorn Scotland.» They expeet three of this excellent breed of sheep dog ta arrive in the very near future. Other than King's College, J. M. Joness is believed ta have been the first owncr of the farm ,whicli according ta information received from W. Ross Strike, K.C., was dceded to- hlm in 1846. Lieut.- Col. R. J. GilI of Brockville pur- chased the farm from the Joness Estate in 1915. Mr. Gill made considerable improvements whcn he became owncr. Besides con- structing modemn barns, he built a fine modemn brick house. The Retreat Dairy operated by the Joness family, hoxvever, passed mbt history. Founded Bigwin Inn Subsequently, the farm was turned over to Charles A. GilI, son of Licut.-Col. and Mrs. R. J. Gui, who is presently studying in Toronto. He sold it to Mr. Ayre. It is intcresting to note that Mr. Gill's maternal grandfather built and operated the famous Bigwin Inn, one of Muskoka's miost renowned summer resorts. Chas. Gi retained about eight acres of thL- original farm when he sold it, and on this land, east of the Avre home, he owns two houses. One is occupied by Mrs. J. Lawrence Cryderman and the other by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cox. Sheep raising appears to be in in the Ayre biood. Many people in Durham County and beyond these borders will recall the fine flocks shepherded by Alfred Ayre on his farm a mile and a haif south of Solina. Mr. Ayre start- cd showing shcep in 1908 and was still actively engaged in the bus- iniess until recenly. He showcd ai the first Royal Winter Fair in 1922. Hiarrowing Experience One show experience the eider Mr. Ayre recails with a bit of misgiving took place in Ottawa. He was standing near the bolier room in the Ottawa show place TEST FOR THE BEST - This intriguing litile creature that mîght have come from a movie cartoon is actually a pea seed going through one of the stages of a lest for disease. The fuzzy mass in the background is a seed that failed to sprout due to a conquesi by disease, while the one with uts "head" held high escaped disease. This is one of severai tests by which the Plant Produets Division of the Depariment of Agriculture ai Ottawa protecis the public againsi falsely represented seed and bo improve the quality of vegetable1 seeds offered for sale in Canada. -Canada Dept. of Agriculture photo.
