Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Count him out: Farmer Alex Torrie; who has 600 acres near Owen Sound; says he understands what motivates the farmers who have formed vigilante groups; but he won't join them. I can't see myself carrying a gun or weapon or participating in any violence; he says; but would join a human barricade around a farm if he thought it was being closed unfairly.
