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

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. •

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.
MORE PORK EXPORTED TO
UK
Canadian exports of frozen
pork to the UK were
considerably higher in the first
four months of 19.68 than in
recent years. 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.
Effects of , the UK's recent
devalnation of the pound
probably will be evident later in
the year.

SLAUGHTERING PLANTS
In the US there were 9,177
livestock slaughtering

California has the most federally
