'Station at Fredericton, N.B. has
a solution to the old problem of
.potato culls and waste.
Feed 50 pounds a day all
winter to the 50,000 steers in
'the, three Maritime provinces.
That would take care of the
300,000,000 pounds of N.B. and
P.E.I. cull potatoes and
'150,000,000 to 200,000,009
pounds of potato waste and
by-products from processors. -
It iSAtiati,,Icile suggestipl:
DrL,NichOlson, head .of
animal nutrition section, has
conducted experiments which
demonstrate that cattle can
safely and effectively be fed
both potato culls and potato
waste from processing plants.
Potatoes are high in energy
-and low in protein, so a potato
:,diet should be Supplemented
With high-protein extras such as
grass silage or oilmeals or a
commercial protein concentrate
,containing urea, says Dr.
NiCholson.
The supplethents Dr.
Nicholson.' experimented with
also contained vitamins A. D and
E. •
Cows ate up to 75 pounds of
potatoes a day without any
adverse effects on health 'or
'flavor of milk they produced.
Milk production went up three
percent as the protein level of
the grain fed along with the hay
arid potatoes rose from 16 to 20
Percent.
,That experiment, conducted
at both Charlottetown and
Fredericton, was with pulped
. potatoes fed in a mixture with
hay at a.ratio of three pounds of
potatoes to one pound of hay.
• ' 'Heifers that weighed an
average of 736 pounds at the
start of an experiment gained
3;3 pounds a day at Fredericton,
eating an average of 75 pounds
Of potato waste a day. One
heifer ate up to 110 pounds a
day.
The waste contained peeled
whole potatoes arid portions of
potatoes containing blemishes
Mid other defects. The heifers
ate all the potatoes they wished.
With a mixture of two pounds Of
hay combined with two pounds
a protein-mineral-vitainin
supplement.
"There was no sigri of any

problems due to feeding potato
products at this high level," says
Dr. Nicholson.

Market outlooks for the
4600440 industry as a whole
are featured on Wednesday, Jan,
7; there will also be a discussion
on, corn production and soybean
feeding.
The horticulture talks will
include discussion of the new
advances in technology including
mechanization, new planting and
production systems, and storage
problems.
Agricultural engineering will
concentrate on the selection and
cost of farm tractors, and will
feature news and information
about imported tractors.
Agricultural economics, in
addition to dealing with taxation
problems, will offer computer
analysis on the. cost of owning
and operating machinery,
provided farmers bring cost and
use figures from their own
farms.
From "9 to 11 a.m. on each of
the three days, certain
departments will provide
opportunities for consultation
on agricultural and educational
programs and problems. Talks
and discussions will run through
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Further
opportunity to visit departments
will be available after the end Of
the formal program each day.
For further 'information on
Farm Week, those interested
should contact either the
Department of Information,
University of Guelph, or Dr. W.
S. Young, extension
co-ordinator, Ontario
Agricultural College. The college
and the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food are
Co-sponsors of Farm Week.
potatoes report little trouble
with choking when feeding
whole cull potatoes. However, it
is probably wise to feed the
potatoes early in the day while
someone is around to observe
the cattle and give assistance if
choking should occur."
Dr. Nichblson says that most
farmers will not likely wish to
feed potatoes at the high levels
attempted in the experiments.'
"But our results show that
there are no harmful effects,
everiat thesempho high,leyels of
feeding. The cows should be
gradually shifted to a potato
diet. It's the same with any
change • in diet. A gradual shift
will prevent upsets in milk
production or rates of gain," Dr.
Nicholson adds.

A grand prize of a week's
vacation in Florida for two will

ever planned for co-operatives in

The recent ban on DDT
should not Cause field 'crop
growers much of a problem in
Ontario, except possibly where
the control of cutworm in corn
is concerned.
So says Professor Harold
Goble, Department of Zoology,
University of Guelph, who notes
that even for cutworm DDT was
not recommended here in 1969.
NEELESEIMMIS1211110,
4 Avoid overdrying of the
family wash. Remove clothing
while there is still a hint of
dampness. All fibres have a
normal moisture content, and if
overdried will wrinkle and
shrink.
prize
Pittsburgh Paints, the Daymond
Company, the Ontario Water
Resources Commission, and
Co-operator's Insurance
Association of Guelph, will be
on hand that day conducting
sessions for co-operative
members and patrons.
On the 6th, some 500
co-operative voting delegates will
participate in UCO's 22nd
annual meeting at London's
Centennial Hall. They will
review 1969 operations and elect
four members to the 12-man
UCO board.
Among the replacements for
DDT are a group of insecticides
known as the organophosphates.
This group contains some very
effective, yet very dangerous to
handle, materials. Two that are
still being widely used and are
unaffected by the recent ban are
parathion and Phosdrin.
M e thoxychl or, endbsulfan
(Thiodan) and carbaryl (Sevin)
will also be more widely used.
These last three are relati41y
safe to use as. far as the operator
is concerned, and none should
pollute the atmosphere if
properly applied.
Professor Goble points out
that growers should be as well
informed as possible on the
hazards of using organ-
ophosphates. Rubber gloves,
respirators, and protective
clothing are required before
some applications can be made.
Growers should .0 be sure to
enquire about the need for such
protective clothing when they
purchase hazardous chemicals.
The 1970 fruit, vegetable and
field crop recommendations of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food will be
available early in January.
The members meeting of the
Ontario federation of
Agriculture last week.
OverwheiminglY accepted
executive proposals action aimed
at broadening membership and
involvement at the provincial,
commodity, county and
individual levels. •
The executive of the OFA has
called on county organizations
to enroll at least 10 percent of
their farmers in the individual
service membership program by
March. The priinary proposal is
to' have at least 5 percent in
membership by January.
In addition to this, county
groups will be expected to
maintain their federation group
membership fees.
Only farmers who have
purchased an OFA individual
service membership will receive
personal service after the first of
next year.

Letter to the, Editor
:To the editor:
Regarding the town of
Clinton's snow removal notice in
last week's paper, there is a
point or two I would like made
more definite.
If, as the ad says, persons will
be towed away at owner's
expense, how will they be towed
away? Will a rope be attached
around the neck or waist or will
they be towed in a prone
position?
Who determines who is the
owner of the person. If the
owner of the person refuses to
pay or disclaims ownership, will
such person be impounded or
sold by public auction?
Please let me know when the
town is going to tow an
offender, as it would make a
good photo.

fee be raised to $25 frein $20
with $5 of that amount being
made available to a county or

would be made available upon

the county or local organization
become "an information and
