I certainly have no objeot- i,on to the most rigid inspection of meat products but I de ob- ject to it being applied in a dis- criminatory manner. That it is unfair to .the smaller processor is shown in 'the following quot- ation of a statement by Bruce Packers of Paisley, made to their local weekly. "It is our fondest hope that the present investigation on :in- edible meats will lead to rigid and compulsory inspection of all meat enterprises in 'Canada. ._ d Bruce Packers Ltd. has, since its .inception, tried ever y known procedure and argument to force inspection either by the province or the dominion, but so far there have .been no interested panties. If all tax- payers in Canada help pay for Federal Inspection in the big plants and our government turns a deaf ear to .giving it to the smaller plantswho earn- estly desire the same class of inspection, then it is quite ob- vious that large packers have a monopoly on the meat bus- iness of Canada. This firm has spent large sums of money to .keep the establishment up to date on the requirements set forth by the 'Bruce County Health Unit. It is prepared to Spread Manure With Care For Best of Results This is the time of year when manyfarmers in Ontarior are debating whether they should spread manure daily or weekly, or store it in the barnyard until spring Fertilizer benefits and lab- or availability influence that decision. "Manure can be spread dur- ing the • winter ' without too much .loss; of plant 'food-rpro- vided it is done on land where, runoff isn't a problem," says Prof, T. H:: Lane, of the Soil Science Department of the On- tario Agricultural College. "The losses from -spreading manure in the winter on level land. are usually. less than the cast' of removing the . manure from. the pile in . the spring. Spreading manure in the wint- er is done when time and labor are pot. at _as great a premium. The ° Main difficulty is snow depth—of being able to get on- to the field to spread the man- ure." Another decision a . farmer has 'to make is ' choosing the field on which to applymanure, says •'Professor Lane. "In the case of well-established hay st- and's with a lot of alfalfa, man- ure should 'be applied before the snow is too deep — or pre- ferably before snow fall. "Spreading manure at 8-10 tons per acre on snow a foot in depth and deeper may 'cause an ice -pack to form under the manure and kill out the alfalfa, especially on clay soils — caus- ing a noticeable drop in hay yield the next year." On new seedlings, he advises spreading manure in early fall and win- ter —before snowfall to pre- vent possible si othering of the new seedlings. Manure can be most profit- ably applied at 8-10 tons per acre on fields which will be planted to corn in the spring —either on sod or plowed land. Professor Lane believes it is worth up to $4.50 per ton on corn ground. 7if manure is being spread on haylaad in the winter under deep snow conditions it's best to apply it to an old grass field or one where the stand of -alf- alfa is becoming thin.

To' me this points up ' again the difficulties facedby the large number of small operators in many different fields. Df- ficiency of operation doesn't seem too competitive. Rather it is other factors of 'advantage that is ;forcing the little people out, We are alarmed at 'the dis- appearance of the family farm and we are lied to ,bel'ieve that farms have to be huge, I can agree that the family .fan of the present and future needs'' to be larger than a few years ago but this is simply because the tamlly on 'the farm to -day can handle a larger acreage. Farms have been increasing in size on this basis for years. The real problem of these family farm - ems is to obtain an equal oppor- tunity to purchase supplies and to sell his product. Since large corporations can move into the farming business and operate at cost or even 'at a loss that can 'then be made up in processing the product or in supplying feed it cuts out the, one opportunity of a living in- come ncome to the one who is engaged in production alone. • We have an example of this in the cattle feeding operation of a brewery. The mash which is a waste prod'u'ct from the brewery becomes a no -cost feed for cattle. In other cases large comp- anies with connections through processing and retailing n no margin of profit in product- ion. With others' entering the field of production,. it' would seem that the only-aftemative for the- farmer is to take over processing and, distribution th- rough Co -Operative action. Farm Records Pay Only if Kept • Well -Then Analysed Does it pay • to keep farm records? J: H. Clark answers yes to this question. Mr. Clark is a farm management special- ist with the Farm Economics Branch of the 'Ontario Depart - me it of Agriculture. . - Clark says: • "During the last ten years, the prices farmers pay for goods have risen by 30 to 50 percent, while. return for farm produce has remained steady or even declined. Along with this fact,• higher expenses emphasize the importance of keeping farm record's." The best way to keep farm records is with an annual ac- count book. From the analysis of this book you can pick out the weak points • and correct them, making changes for a more profitable operation next year. You can also check new ideas for profitability on paper before you actually spend the money. "Records are of no value un- less they are kept accurately and analysed at the end of each year," states Clark. O MAYBE USE HEAT LAMP INSTEAD OF LIGHT BULBS A 250 watt heat lamp uses no more hydro than a 250 watt light bulb. That's one reason why farmers are finding them a good investment for creep pens. H a 1 Wright, Safety Specialist with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, sug- gests buying the heat lamps with the bright red color. These are covered with pyrex and have less' tendency to Shat- ter if they fall on the floor. ark Accidents paused Nine Deaths in. 1961 A 'total of 390 farm accidents; in HI.Pron County 'last year ressr ulted in nine .deaths ;arid 13 persons crippled for life, stat= istics released by the Huron County Farm .Safety Council Tuesday showed, Lost days 'of work through. accidents totalled 4,675, prop- crty damage was' $234,000, and' medical bills more than 825,- 500, The council, at the annual. meeting here, decided .te in- crease the present board :of dir- ecters --- four men and three women — to include two rep'- resentatiyes from each town- ship in the county..
