Some of the low lying areas have been flooded out, Very little corn haS been sown to date. Some cash crops have been planted during the short periods of bright, sunny weather on well-drained land. Pasture and hay crops are grow- ing very well, Orchard grass has started to head, Most -cattle are now out both day and night. In regard to late planting of PrPPs and .cOntinged ,•wet weather the following suggestions have been released by W. S. Young, Field Husbandry Department, On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph: Continued wet weather may ruin many farmers' cropping plans thiS Year. In several .fall-sawn show '4Orrie promise because of the moisture available and fairly good recovery from winter damage. Oat and barley crops, which commonly, ,supply the concentrates needed by Ontario livestock, may . be a problem. Varieties .such as Garry oats. and York barley should be worth. seeding up to June 10, but late seeding is usually acorn- parried by some loss of yield and quality of grain. Even so, oats and barley shOuld -still SupPly more feed that most substitutes, Because of the excess spiting growth of weeds: uch as quack or twitch on land plowed last fall, many farmer.S.may substitute Sim- mer. fallow for the spring grain crop. This would prepare that land for seeding a winter wheat crop in the fall. To adjUst for this, the. sod which would normally be plow- ad for wheet could be kept to provide forages for another year. Another scheme would be to •use part of this .fall-plowed land for more corn .acreage. Chemical con- trol of .grASSY weeds would then be feasible, • • Throitgh the years, corn has produced more grain at acre !than Other oats or barley :at 04c. Corn can be planted for fodder or groin, up until the end .of the first week of June, Make sure that you use a hybrid early enough to mature in your area, The free Ontario De- partment of Agriculture Publica- tion 296, 1960 Field Crop Recom- mendations ., for Ontario, lists the good hybrids for your area,. COltural practices and recom- mended varieties for growing soy- beans may be found in Ontario De- partment of Airicillture publica- tion 173, Soybeaus as a CaSh Crop in Ontario. Your copy is at the County Agricultural Representa- tive's Office. Soybeans,'provide good concentrate for livestock feed Or a cash Crop. Buckwheat seeded at four pecks per acre before the end , of June should be a reasonably good grain crop. Millets also produce a grain crop when allowed to ripen, even though they are more commonly used for -emergency hay. Seeded at 20 pounds per acre, the common Hungarian millet has giten an average yield of about 40 bushels per acre over a 30-year period at OAC. Siberian or Empire millet, Japanese barnyard millet and Pro- so millet have averaged over 30 bushels per acre. Millet grain, when ground, makes a valuable addition to other concentrates. Both millets and buckwheat are roughly equivalent to oats in feed value. Married at The Goshen MR. AND MRS.

And as you know healthy, clean birds pay off in the laying pen. Should there be indications of worms at othert times, check with your SHUR-GAIN Mill Operator. He'll recommend a "Wormedicated" feed to correct the situation. Down through the years, SHUR-GAIN Feeds have been manufactured right in your area. This has meant less handling, lower cost per bag and 100% freShness. On ,May 19 received the af- filiation fee from one Hof the Coniniidity GrOups. This is of no particular significance Since prac- ticMiy all county groups pay a •$5 yearly affiliation fee for which they receive, co,-operation and as- sistance from time to time. How- ever in this case the affiliation fee vas paid throagh the Ontario Office of the Commodity Group rather than by a county treasurer aZid one sentence caught my eye. ",This giant has 'been approved by the Farm Products. Marketing Board". ' First, this affiliation fee has become a "grant" in the eyes of the government with no recogni- tion of the fact that it gives the cornme&ty group membertship in the County Federation of Agri- culture with full voting rights. Second, at can only rolead us to understand that proviicial com- modity groups must submit 'all paYnients trani funds contributed by the inembehiP 'to be al4a-Mr- ed by the Farm Products Market- ing Board' •before the cheques can be Issued. The question that has been up- permost in the minds of many farmers since the passing of Bill 86 the difference between what the Farm Products IVIarketing Board could do and. what it would do. Apparently there is no dif- ference. If the government, through the Farm Products Mar- keting Board, is going to keep such a strict watch over all ex- penditures, the commodity group has little power. In contrast to the greatly in- creased control over farm organ- ization being used in Onjtario by government we find the Federal Government moving in the op- posite direction in respect to companies and corporations.

It would seem that the follow- ing could legally happen: Ontario packing plants could combine to lower the price of hogs $2.00 per cwt. and agree to drop the price of pork $1.00 per cwt. Who is there to: prove that this would be "against the public Q Q .0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Interest"? There are more con- sumers of pork than producers of hogs.
