Dr. J. W: G. Nicholson of the Canada Agriculture Research • '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 d i gestive upsets or other problems due to feeding potato products at this high level," says Dr. Nicholson.

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. Co-ops offer A grand prize of a week's vacation in Florida for two will be drawn at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 7 to climax two, of the biggest days ever planned for co-operatives in Ontario. Up to 8,000 people are expected to attend the event, Co-Op Showcase '70, being held in London, Jan. 6 and 7. Most of them will be visiting Showcase, at London's Western Fairground, on the 7th. Representatives from UCO, Ontario Hydro, Dairy Foods Service Bureau, Canadian 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.

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. Starting on Monday, the 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.

This money would be made available upon presentation of an acceptable, active program and a budget. The federation executive proposal strongly suggests that the county or local organization become "an information and listening centre for farmers." In mid-February a review of Service Membership sales achievements will be made. Counties or areas selected at that time as not having produced satisfactory results will be the target areas of a membership campaign directed from the OFA provincial office.
