of loads which the bui ding is
subjected to. The ,main loads
hich we have to consider in this
area are dead load, live loads due
to use and occupancy, wind loads
and sow loads. The dead load
referS to the weight of the
building materials used In 'the
building, Pouring &concrete floer
in the second storey of the barn
,vould be an example of dead
load, and a 4 in.-thick floor would
have a weight of approximately 50
lb. per sq. ft.
Live loads 'take into. consider-
atiott the loads due to animals
housed in .1 building .4$ well as
loads due o tractors and other
equipment which might be on a
floor. These loads are important
when designing slatted floors.
,especially.
• Tile`MciSt commonly overlooked
loading on h building is the wind
load.. In the Clinton area we can
expect a horizontal force of up to.
5.5 lb. per. sq. ft, on a vertical
wall, - and, in a -high-walled
building such as a • machinery
shed, this. may be enough. to
I c011apse the building without
'adequate knee•bracing. The wind
exerts a considerable force on teh
roof of a building, as 1,011 and this
force is in anupward direction;
therefore, the roof has, to be
fastened down well enough to
withstand this force.
One of the biggest concerns
when designing buildings inch,
'Huron County is the snow load.
The amount of snow which settles
on a roof is influences to a small
degree by the ,slope of the roof. A
more important consideration,_,
however, is whether the buildin,
is exposed to. the wind or
protected front the wind, An
exposed building is likely to be
blown fairly clear of snow. In the
case. of an addition being built
onto a two-storey 'barn a barn
whigh,is built along .a row of pine
trees, the wind does not have the
same opportunity to blow the
'snow off -the roof and greater
loads can be experienced.

Television has become 'the newest weapon
used by farmers to, seek a better deal for •
themselves in the marketing of cattle.
Video tape recordings •of market cattle are
now being used by the Ontario Beef
Exchange, a marketing, company set up by six
Bruce county beef producers. Harvey Davis,
head of the exchange (OBEX) told members of
the Hui•on County Federation of Agriculture
Thursday night in Belgrave that the tapes give
cattlemen a chance to sell the way any other
seller does, on his own property. In thesast
he.,,szid, the farmer has been at a disadvatlbage
because he has had to load up his cattle and
take them to a community auction or ship
them to Toronto at considerable expense and
with.resulting stress on the, cattle. If he didn't
like the price offered, he had little choice but
to sell.
But OBEX's video tape system allows a
farmer to keep his cattle on the farm while
buyers in Toronto bid on them. .If hp likes the
offer he can sell. If he doesn't he can wait until
the next week.
Mr. David explained that a farmer wanting
., to sell cattle through OBEX would list the
cattle with the exchange at the end of one
week,' the truck with video tape facilities
would' be.scnt out to photograph the cattle,
from front., side, rear and an overall shot then
the tapes are taken back to Toronto where
they arc en, view. to buyers from all packing
houses. On the Thursday of the second week-
OBEX telephones the farmer with the top bid
and the farmer either accepts the bid, or holds
' the cattle over for offer aeainhe..next week. If
he accepts the bid the cattle arc then shipped
'to their destination where OBEX will have
them weighed before being processed. at the
packing house. The cattle can be listed by live
weight, camas weight and grade anti yield. .
There can be up to 11 bids on the cattle, Mr.
Davis said, and OBEX usually gets at 'least
five. About 95 per cent of the 35,000 head sold •
in the first nine mon ths of operation have been
• sold on the first listing. ,
Because of the danger of bankruptcy ori the .

,OBEX is bonded and, guarantees .payment to
the farmer within 48 hours,. OBEX started out
making a charge of $3.75 per animal, he said,
but now with the use of expensive videot ape
equipment, has increased the charge.to $4 for
heifers and $4,50 for steers. This is still. very
Competitivp or lower than other methodi of
marketing Mr. Davis claimed. Because of the
expense of the videotape, truck's travel, small
lots of cattle a considerable distance from

Toronto are not taped but are listed and sold
by dressed weight.
rte said the concept of videotaping the
cattle has-been received well by buyers and.
same packers are setting up their own
playback units to use the OBEX tapes in their
own plants..
Mr. Davis said that while the success of
OBEX has been encouraging, the six partners
must get more listings to make it a 'viable
,cperatio.n. "If we can get to the point where-
we handled a minimal part of the cattle trade
in Ontario then there will, be, a spinoff effect in .
the entire industry," he said.
In other business, the Huron Federation
passed a resolution that would ask that a
deposit of 50 per-cent of the value of the
product be placed on the glass container for
any soft drink or liquor sold in glass bottles. It

the- carbamate that's '
unsurpassed for corn
rootworm control.

Best way to prevent corn rootworms
from building up resistance to insecticides
is to alternate from an organophosphate
insecticide to a carbamate. And
FURADAN is the carbamate to switch to.
FURADAN is the systemic insecticide
that kills corn rootworm larvae on contact
and then is absorbed by-the-roots to
provide long-lasting residual control. Hard,
purple granules won't bridge or cake in the
applicator.

Farmers to do
pesticide survey
Agriculture and Food Minister
Bill Newt-natl. has.announccd that
8,800 farmers have been asked to
participate in a survey of
pesticide use in Ontario.
The survey is required every
five years under the Great Lakes
Water Quality Agreement of the
Canada-U.S. International Joint
Commission to determine the
amount Of pollutants, including
agricultural chemicals, in the
Great Lakes bakin. Chemicals To-
be surveyed include those applied
to control weeds, insects, mites,
tichratode§, rodents and fungi.
Record forms have been mailed
to 8,000' field crop farmers and
800 fruit god vegetable growers,
win have been asked to .record
the crop sprayed; the amount and
kind of pesticide used; and the
aercapc to which it was ,applied.
