L Clinton Navys—Bacdrd, Thursday, August 8, 1968 SEE OUR SELECTION I OF.. GAMES Mends honor bride-elect The number of commercial farms in Canada is increseing. At the time of the 1966 Pelastls there were 276,835 of them, 17,000 more than, in 1961. The importance of commercial farms is underscored by the fact that they produced 95% of the total value of agricultural products from all 431,600 farms in the country. Commercial farina sell $2,500 or more of agricultural products annually compared to oriTy gi) or more for census farms. Almost 85% of total Canadian farm capital is invested in commercial farms. Commercial farms accounted for 81 percent of total farm land in 1966 compared to 7a percent in 1961. Almost two-thirds of all farms were commercial farms in 1966 compared to just over one half in 1961. Over 80 percept of the farms in Saskatchewan are classified as commercial farms, '10 percent in Alberta, 68 percent in Manitoba, 65 percent in. Ontario and 53 percent in Quebec, Commercial farms in 1966 had an average of 59 more improved acres, 11, more cattle and eight more hogs per farm than the all-farm average. FARM INCOME CHANGES Farm cash receipts in the first quarter of this year fell below the record set in the same period of 1967. However, the two years are not comparable because of the timing of final wheat payments. These were paid during the first three months of last year but did not fall in the .quarter this year. Had the timing been the same, farm cash receipts would have been 4.4 percent above, rather than 15.5 percent below a year ago, according to the DBS. Cash receipts from the sale of cattle and calves ran about $10 million ahead of last year with good gains in the West more than offsetting small declines in the East. Receipts from the sale EEC INCREASES. PORK EXPORT SUBSIDY In order 10 develop what it considers Ple9mising markets in Poland, Greece, Portugal and South Vietnam, the EEcis more than, doubling its pork export subsidy, The subsidy applies to fresh pork carcasses and sides. It now amounts to $14.29 1./S per 100 pounds. With EEC pork Production up nine Percent, in the first half Of this year and with prospects of a further five percent increase in, the second half, the export subsidy is likely to be raised again during this Summer, Snakes play important part in nature Through the ages snakes have been feared, misunderstood and often persecuted. Some people believe all snakes are venomous; others consider them useless creatures; while still others dislike them for no other reason than "simply because they are snakes," Fortunately, in recent years, this attitude is changing People are beginning to realize that these reptiles play an important part in nature by consuming great numbers of insect and rodent nests, In. Ontario there is only one snake which poses any danger to man-the little Massasauga Rattlesnake. It is found chiefly along the shores of Georgian Bay to about twenty miles inland, on some of the islands in the bay and on the Bruce Peninsula. 'rhis rattler is a "mild-mannered", rather sluggish little snake, which normally prefers retreat to attack and tries to avoid encounters with humans, if possible. The greatest danger is n accidentally stepping on a Massasauga, as they blend so well with their surroundings. The Massasauga is a small, stout-bodied snake, which seldom attains a length of more than two and a half feet, although three-footers have been !:found. The head is broad and pits and "cat-like" eye pupils. To provide accurate • information on the Massasauga Rattlesnake the Federation of Ontario Naturalists published a booklet on this fascinating reptile. It was authoritatively written by Miss Barbara Froom of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. There are twelve sections in the booklet dealing with topics such as range in Ontario, precautions when in rattlesnake country, first aid and some snakes sometimes mistaken for rattlers. "The venom of the Massasauga is highly toxic," writes Miss Frooni, "but the quantity is small and the snake's fangs are short. With prompt treatment no one need die from the bite of a Massasauga rattler," Miss Gail Sangster, bridefelect of August 17th, Was honoured.t a miscellaneous shower in the Legion Hall, Hensel], Tuesday evening, July 23rd, the hall attractive in pink and white mptif. The shower attended by 45 friends, relatives and neighbours, and arranged by Judy Regier, Betty Sangster, Sharon Hoffman, and Betty MacDonald, from the office staff of General Coach, where Miss Sangster is, employed. At the regular meeting of Hensall PVC at 7:30 p,m. on. Thursday, July 25, the minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The commission was informed of the necessary repairs to the SMC ladder truck Control weeds with sprays Horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and 'Food suggest using herbicides to control grasses and weeds on driveways and parking areas. The home gardener requires a chemical which is available in small quantities, as well as being safe and easy to use. "Weedrite", available in most garden stores, combines two herbicides, paraquat and diquat, to control both grasses and broad-leafed weeds. It is easily applied with a watering can and an inexpensive sprinkle bar attachment. One and three-quarter ounces of "Weedrite" dissolved in two gallons of water will cover an area of 200 square feet of weed-ridden soil. As with any herbicide, precautions must be taken to keep children and pets away from the sprayed area until the chemical has been absorbed by the plants. Since "Weedrite" becomes inactivated upon contact with the soil, it can be safely used around ornamental plants, providing it does not contact the foliage. Watering cans and sprayers used to apply this herbicide must not be used for any other purpose until they have been thoroughly washed. Herbicides that can he applied as soil ,sterilants are available. Since they remain as residues in the soil, more care must be exercised in using them in order to prevent their absorption by the roots of valuable trees and shrubs. These chemicals must not be used in areas where rain water could wash them onto lawns and gardens. • - Planning a picnic this weekend? Don't leave your litter around roadside picnic areas.

BROILER SITUATION AND OUTLOOK Broiler chicken marketings during July and August are likely to stay at year previous levels, according to the Canada Department of Agriculture. Broiler prices are expected to remain firm at present levels for the rest of the summer. Poultry storage stocks are running well below levels of a year ago. Domestic disappearance, in the first five months was 2,5 million noun& over the same period of 1967. A large out-of-storage movement more than compensated for a 4 million pound drop in marketings.

January-April shipments in 1968 totalled 423,360 pounds compared to 33,600 •pounds in 1967 and about five percent of chilled or frozen fresh pork imports.
