Craig, W.M.; Mrs. 'William Leach, A.M.; William Leach, A.P. (Photo by Bradnock) Hon. William A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture, an- nounced Monday the appoint- ment of B. A. "Ed" Starr, of the Livestock Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, as secretary of the recently form- ed Ontario Beef Improvement Association. Mr. Starr will supervise and co-ordinate the activities of the various county branches of the Association, which already has representation in Huron and 24 other counties. The Ontario Beef Improve- ment Association was formed by Ontario beef producers fol- lowing a suggestion by Hon. Mr. Stewart that an association along similar lines to that of the Ontario Soil and Crop Im- provement Association would be of benefit to the beef producers of the province. In suggesting the creation of such an organization, Mr. Stew- art paid tribute to the work of the Ontario Beef Producers' Association, but expressed the opinion that their work could be intensified through an or- ganization similar to that of the Soil and Crop Improvement As- sociation. Under the direction of Mr. Starr there will be close co-op- eration between the new Assoc- iation and the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, Research activities and policies felt to be of benefit to the producer could be subjected to joint review and action. "The establishment of such an organization has many ad- vantages,". said Mr. Stewart in making the announcement. "It will provide a close co-relation between the producer and the thing to improve the situation. To-gether as livestock produc- ers working to-gether there is much that can be done to over- come our handicaps.

LEN CALDWELL, Road Superintendent, RR 1, Londesboro, Ont. 15-16b 1' Ontario /Department of Agri- culture, and will strengthen the market through unity of pur- pose and co-ordination of ef- fort." Mr. Stewart said that a spec- ial research fund had been set up under the Ontario Research Institute to carry out continu- ing research studies in livestock feeding and management. The Association will encoui. age and assist in the establish- ment of County branches; pro- mote the quality of beef cattle produced in Ontario; dissemin- ate information on the latest research developments; sponsor programs to strengthen the in- dustry; and co-operate with governments in legislative pro- grams pertaining to the beef cattle industry. 0 Hullett Council Seeks Tractor Only two motions were pas- sed at the April meeting of Hul- lett Township council when it met in the Londesboro Hall last Monday. Leonard Caldwell, township road superintendent, was in- structed to call for tenders on a gas operated tractor, com- plete with a side-mounted mow- er, for use on the roads of the township for weed control. The tender call will appear in the local newspapers and the specifications can be obtained from Mr. Caldwell. A grant of $15.00 was author- ized for the support of the Hul- lett Township Music Festival and the request from the group was made by Mrs. Willis Van Egmond, secretary-treasurer of the group. The reeve and all members of council were present at the meeting. 41, For Fast Fertilizer Service . . .

With hogs and cattle running neck and neck for the honours in the very low twentys it is unfortunate that it isn't a golf championship. The reason given the drastic drop in price is the marked increase in supply, particularly in hogs. And of course we have this increase in supply because of the attractive price of hogs during 1962. Most farmers accept these explanations but I think we need to ask the question, "Is Price the Controlling Factor in the Production of Livestock?" There are, in my mind, three types of farmers. The first looks at his grainary and his hay mows and decides this quanity will produce so many hogs and fatten so many cat- tle then arranges to have some feed left over and produces just a few less. The second farmer decides he Local Students Review Books (Continued from Page Four) he gets his studies over the radio. The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising. The sheep graze on a station where they get all the wool grown on their backs ready for shearing. A good shearer •can shear 120 to 150 sheep a day. In Austra- lia now, there are 155 million sheep, but in 1758 there were only a dozen, which were brought by the settlers. Nearly every person over six years of age rides a horse. The boomerangs are only found in Australia. It is a curved piece of wood which comes back after you throw it, and is used in hunting kangaroos. There are over 150 different marsupials in Australia, which are animals that carry their young in a pouch. For example the kangaroo and the platypus which is a billed animal with webbed feet. There are many fruits grown in Australia, such as grapes, apples, pears, peaches and also cherries and bananas. Every- thing is done on the farm now so Don and his family leave for Sydney where Don will go to school, but first they visited the Harbour Bridge. I like this story because it teaches me something about Australia that I didn't know anything about. Gregory Burns, Grade 7, St. Joseph's Separate School.

The third farmer doen't have much interest in growing feed and purchases perhaps 90% of his feed grain supply. From this it seems to me that feed supply has perhaps more. influence on livestock product- ion than price. In hogs particularly, had not been for the good crops of feed grains we would not have had the increase in production that is now effecting us. Neither would we have had such a high percentage of choice heavy ste- ers on the market. Not many farmers will cut their production even when fac- ed with the prospect of lower prices if it means that large quanitities of grain and hay are to be held over. Many farmers have too many bills to pay to be able to level out their feed supplies from one year to the next but it would help if those who could would hold back production of peak periods. The second factor, we are told is the market in United States. Turning to the cattle mark- et we have been told that when we are importing from the Un- ited States our price is up-three dollars per cwt. on the U.S. Market. It has never seemed right to Me that the very small percent- age of export cattle to the U.S. should set the price for the very high percentage of beef that is consumed in Canada. It is all the more irritating when we realize that the Amer- ican farmer is producing his livestock to a very high degree on government subsidized feed. Some might say that our freight subsidy does the same here but this only applies on grain that is purchased from Western Canada. A surprising- ly small number of farmers share in the verydoubtful bene- fit of this freight subsidy. Farmers are great competit- ors. We have often been told in recent years that we are the only free competitors left. I think Canadian farmers are able and willing to compete on an even basis with farmers any where but we would be justi- fied in admitting that the U.S. treasury is just a little too big.
