Wet hay can be a danger for
the farmer. As well as lowering
the quality of the feed, it can cause

threatening liVes, buildings and

Another reason-for the caut-
iousness was attributed to world
supplies of similar wheat being
larger than earlier anticipated.
The-, men said as a result of
tbese factors, prices to be ob-
tained will probably not be as
high as last year. --News it was reported—that Most
flour mills in the U.K. are
presently in ample supply and it
will be September before they
become interested in further pur-
chases.
Their findings indicated mil-
lers had run into some problems
concerning sprouted wheat con-
tained in some purchases of the
Ontario crop two years ago and
that quality must be emphasized
in future sales.
Traditionally, the V. K.
market absorbed about one
million bushels of Ontario
winter wheat annually.
Of 5.2- million -bushels pur-
chased by the marketing board
out of last-year's crop, 4.8 mil-
lion bughels tueie been sold-in
total with 3/2 million bushels
going to the U.K.

doubtful if farmers would be
interested In using/ it without
some pretreatment. If municip-
alities would pulverize the waste,
Mix in sludges from the water
treatment plant's and compost
the mixture, agricultural soils
would be an acceptable means
for disposal.
A ton of this composted re-
fuse and waste would contain
approximately 1000 pounds of
organic matter, 30 pounds of
nitrogen, 30 pounds of
•-phosphorusL and 11 pounds of
potassium. The composted avast
would be stablized,• that is, it
would noeproduee foul odors nor
will it attract .,flies and other
pests. In other words, it would
be stockpiled on a farm and used
as required.
Composting the urban wastes
has been tried by several
American cities but the operation
failed to produce a profit --
farmers would not pay for the
compost. If municipalities ' are
prepared to pay for waste collec-
tion, composting, and dis-
tribution, many farmers -would
show an interest in using the
material., By comparing the
cost of incorporating and spread-
ing this waste plus supplemental
fertilizers with the costs of using
all chemical fertilizers, farmers
would see the economic value of
this practice.

U. C. W.
Forty-two- women of the U.
C. W. pf Main Street United
Church, Mitchell, travelled to
Toronto on Wednesday by bus.
Arriving at the Parliament Build-
ings they were met by Perth's
Liberal-Member, Hugh-Edighof
fer, who welcomed hishome town
women. The Parliament was not
in session on Wednesday but Mr.
Edighoffer spOke from his seat
and introduced the first Perth
County's page boy Brent Steif
of Listowel. He was assisted in
the tour by Miss J. McCracken
who spoke on the Ontario Par-
liament from it s first meeting
down through the years to the
present and introduced the large
paintings of the former
Premiers.
In the Liberal Caucus Room,
the Perth MPP answered many
questions of interest.
From there the ladies had a -
tour of the Toronto. City Hall
where they 'had their lunch' in
the cafeteria and then proceeded
to Ontario Place, one of the new
beauty spots of Ontario. There
is much construction still being
done but the group was- able
to wander over the four islands,
watched two movies and rode on
the "two small trains and boats.
Ladies over 65 - Senior Citi-
zens - were, admitted free and
given passes to return again and
even the express boat rides were
free to them. The bus took the
group to a Shopping Centre where
they shopped and enjoyed an
evening meal and then home.
Sales potential for Ontario
soft white winter wheat in the
U.K. -market is not particularly
encouraging according to offic-
ials of the Ontario Wheat Pro-
ducers' Marketing Board.
This view was expressed by
two board officials this week
when tb-s made a .brief repert
on their recent sales mission to
the U.K. to a board of directors
meeting held In Toronto...
Board chairman M. R. Mc-
Dougall and assistant secretary-
manager Otis McGregor repor-
ted future sales to the U.K. are
under a shadow of cautiousness.
One of the reasons cited was
a new minimum import price
system which comes into effect
July 1st this, year. This price
is basic and any wheat sold below
that price automatically estab-
lishes an import levy over and
above the minimum import price.'
Most communities, large"or
small, bury their solid waste,
or gargage. And, they encounter
the following problems:
1. difficulty in, locating suit-
able dumping sites;
2. refusal by residents to
have dumps or sanitary
landfills in their commun-
ity; and
3. the hazards of air and
Water pollution, infestat-
ions of rats and flies, and
fires.
Recent studies show that•only
•• two of the 90 dumps along the
Rideau waterway, between Ottawa
and\ingston, meet the standards'
set by the provincial' government.
Another survey of 983 sites in
Ontario shows that less than half
-meet the standards of the county
and district health units.
In' the, area of waste manage-
ment and' control, many people
consider the urban solid waste
as a resource, the potential of
which has been overlooked. The
same people talk about recycling
this waste materials it can be
used in agriculture. They argue
that most of the "waste ould be
,good for the soil. \
Since more than 50% f the
solid waste is paper, and paper
products, 15% is "metal and glass
and the rest is food., wastes,
plastics, rags; wood, etc, it is

Wet' H ay
Agriculture and Food, offers a
practical way to check, daMp hay
for heating. It as 'a simple, inex-•
pensive probe which measures
temperature and will give the
farmer advance warning of a fire..
The probe consists of 10 feet
,of 1/2-inch electrical tubing. A
sharpened hardwood. point is
riveted to the end and about 61/4-
inch holes drilled just above the
point. The probe is then driven 8
or 9 feet into the hay. An ordin-
ary candy or oven thermometer
tied to a cord is lowered to the
bottom of the tube. After aPprox-
imately .5 minutes, the thermom-
eter is removed and the teniper-
attire read. The procedure should
be repeated in different areas of
the hay mow.
Mr. Wright gives the follpwing
temperature signposts:
150 degrees F - entering the
danger zone. Make temperat-
ureobservations daily.
160 degrees F --Danger! Inspect
every four hours to' see if the
temperature is rising. -
175 degrees F - Fire pockets may'
be anticipated; Cali the fire
department pumper and wet
down the hay.
185 degrees F - Remove the hay.
The pumper should be avail-
able since flames will develop
when air comes in.contact with
the hay.
• 210 degrees' F - Critical! The hay
is almost certain to ignite.
As a further precaution,'Mr.
Wright advises workmen never to
enter the hay mow alone, or with-
out ropes tied to their waists. If
fire pockets have developed,
here is a danger of fall into ,
em, Long planks placed across
t e top of the hay may be advis
able for making observations or
removing the hay.
