it is a necessary fact of life for

progresses, it is becoming an ob-

people. It must be collectect, stor-

For many.years farmers have .
been "asking" government for
. help. It wasn't until the Nation-
al Farmers Union arrived on the
scene that farmers received
many of 'the things that they need.
The National Farmers Union is
the one and only national farmer
controlled, direct mernber farm
organization/in Canada.
In comparison, the Canadian
Federation of Agriculture istmade
up of Provincial Federations of
Agriculture, each Province inter-
, ested mainly in its own needs.
A' national farm policy would be
impossible to achieve in this
organization.. Recently, the
Quelled farm organization dele-
gates disagreed with the Canad-
'ian Federation at their conven-
tion and walked out. . Now, Man-
itoba and Alberta hog systems are
competing for Japanese markeis
which can only benefit Japan's
marketing power.
Because of the national struc-
ture of the Farmers Union, Gov-
ernments are' now using polidies
laid down by the 'Farmers Union.
Some of these policies are:
1.‘ Alwo price system for wheat,
guaranteeing a. domestic price to
Ontario producers of $3.00 per
bushel. ,
2.' Deficiency payment on hogs
($5.00 each).
3. A 25% rebate on farm taxes, as
a/result of petition and many N.F.
U. members withholding property
4. Special'consideration of
labour unions to keep grain mov-
ing during strikes at the western
ports.
5. Inputs such as twine and fertil-
izer in bulk shipments at greatly
reduced prices.
6. An N.F. U. grains policy will
probably be adopted.
The Federation recommended
value on egg quota with .no cell-
ing as to amount of quota held by
any one producer, thus encourag-
ing vertical integration. The N.
F.U. recommended no value on
quota with a limit on amount of
quota held by one producer. The
N. 'F. U recommendations were
accepted and policy made accord-
ingly.

ling manure in the liquid (or near-
liquid) form. Going to this type
of manure automatically forces
the farmer to install some type of t
storage structure — usually some '
type of concrete storage tank. The
size of such a structure depends
on the number add type of live-
stock, and the length of storage
period. The following is a guide
which one might use to estimate
the required storage for liquid
manure. in cubic feet per animal
on a daily basis — beef or dairy
animals (6 to 15 months) — 0.70;
beef or dairy animals (15 to 24
months) — 1.1; dairy cows (1,200
lbs. -F) — '2.4; hogs (-40-to 200
lbs.) — 0.25; sows -- 0.56.
There are several different
types of tanks which one might
consider -- rectangular or circu-
lar, below-grade Or above-grade,
with or without top. 'No one type
is best, suited to all .situations;
although cost is important, still
each situation should be analysed
to select the tank best suited ac-
cording to a.number of factors
e.g. — volume, type of manure,
ground-water level, housing sys-
tem and arrangement, location,
etc. .
In nearly all cases, the manure
will be disposed of by applica-
tion 'on the land, thereby making
use of the nutrients' for crop pro-
duction (continuous-cycle situ-
ation). This influences greatly the
length of storage' period one
Should provide (for manure in
any form). Under normal cir-
cuthstances, particularly in this
part 'of the country, one, should
design on the basis: of six months
storage. This length, of time is
influenced- by two factors: (a)
ground conditions — (wet in late
fall and early spring, with heaiTy
snow-cover in winter) preventing
spreading with, tractor and heavy
equipment; (b) cropping , prac-
tices-(the-growing crops-only-per--
znft the spreading of manure in
sprini and fall).••
In some parts of the country,
and during some winters, even
in this area, it' is physically Pos-
sible to spread manure during the
winter 'months. Although it is
Probably true that ,the most ef-
ficient use of the nutrients in
manure is by applying manure
and incorporating it into the soil
immediately -afterwards, still
winter-time application has some
appeal in leveling out the time
and labour demands in a farming,
operation. This is true whether
the manure is handled, as a solid
or a liquid. One must; however,
be concerned about the possibil-
ity of run-off frhm fields where
manure has been applied 'during
the winter (snow-melt and spring
rains), thus polluting ' nearby
streams and ponds. As a general
guide manure shotild not be ap-
plied to rolling land or land with
any degree of slope during the
winter: hoWever, it should be
reasonably safe to do so' on rel-
atively flat land, where run-off
will be negligible. ' •
