The Hay Federation had folded about two years ago. Under the re-organization Robert Brodie of RR 1, Zurich is the new president assisted by two vice-presidents and six directors, Mr. Bailey said it was also hoped that a levy or grant would be coming from Hay Township now that the Federation is back in operation. * * NEW MILK TESTING . METHOD NOW BEING ll USED WIDELY Dairy laboratory practices formerly dependant upon acids, alkalis or standard solutions are now being replaced by electronic methods involving the measurement of energy beams. Mr. O. Irvine, Head of the Dairy Division, Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology, said electronic techniques of milk analysis are superseding chemical tests, particularly the Babcock test for milk fat, where sulfuric acid used to be the main reagent. Two new electronic instruments are now widely used in Ontario dairy laboratories. The Infra Red Milk Analyser (IRMA), as its name suggests, analyzes milk through a complex system of infra red rays that record their findings on graphs. Less expensive and more accurate than the Babcock test, the TRIVIA is now being used by the Milk Commission of Ontario in its Guelph laboratories. The Foss Milko-Tester, the second electronic analyser, is being used at four central laboratories for examining Dairy Herd Improvement Association (D.H.I.A.) samples. The instrument warms the sample to a constant temperature, mixes it with a protein-dispersing chemical, homogenizes it and prints a read-out showing the milk fat content on a percentage basis. The automated version of the Foss Milko-Tester used in the laboratories can print e read-out once every 20 seconds. An auxiliary unit can give readings for protein content as well as fat. The Foss Milko-Tester was developed in Denmark at about the same time IRMA was introduced here. Now widely accepted in many countries it is used by several state D.H.I.A. laboratories in the United States, replacing the Babcock test. The Dairy Herd Analysis Service of MacDonald College, Quebec, also uses the Foss system for protein and fat testing.

Three years ago, Denis lost both legs in a train accident. Today, despite two artificial legs, he is still a keen skater and last year played as an Atom in the Timmins Moose Team. As a fine example of what your Easter Seal dollars can do, Denis has been chosen to represent Canada's crippled children during next month's campaign which runs from March 11 to April 11. Denis, whose favourite subject is mathematics, is a Grade 7 student at St. Gerrard School in Timmins and he hopes one day to become a teacher. Apart from Hockey and baseball, his other interests include music and reading. The son of Mr. and Mrs.-Orval Lapalme, Denis has two sisters and three brothers. • What is 1 Better at Alp ?

Huron F of A concerned over beef imports The Huron Federation of Agriculture, after a reasonable amount of success tackling the provincial government over school taxes is now spearheading a fight against federal authorities. The Federation has expressed concern over the amount of beef being imported from Australia at a time of rising costs for beef producers here have cut profit margins for farmers. The Huron Federation has drafted a letter to Jean Luc Pepin, Minister of Trade and Commerce asking for a halt to such imports. The local federation is also trying to win the support of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in the drive. The OFA heard the plea for support at its January meeting and will investigate fully before making a decision at the February members meeting later this month. The letter states: Honorable Jean Luc Pepin, Minister of Trade and Commerce, Trade and Commerce Building, Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario Dear Sir: I am concerned about the Importation of beef from Oceania. It is becoming increasingly difficult to farm profitably in Canada because of rising input costs and high interest rates. I cannot produce food profitably in competition with Australian beef producers. Please advise me whether you and your department intend to stop or re,sttiet these imports." Copies of the letter are being circulated throughout the county for farmers to sign and send to Ottawa.

The service helps the farmer keep monthly tabs on his expenses and income by using the Can-Farm computer. Income tax returns are also prepared under the scheme. Cost of the program is $125. More information can be obtained through the Huron Federation of Agriculture office. * * * AUSTIN A TOP SALESMAN Matson Bailey of Blyth, chairman of the membership committee of the Huron Federation of Agriculture gave credit to Vince Austin for a remarkable increase in sales of OFA memberships in Ashfield Township when he spoke to the Huron Federation Thursday night. Membership in Ashfield had climbed to 52. Austin sold 30 memberships in the past month in Ashfield and several others across the township boundary in West Wawanash. It was no faint praise from Bailey who has sold more memberships than anyone else in the province and is most responsible for Huron having the largest membership of any county in the OFA. * * * MORE PROTEIN NEEDED IN CORN SILAGE Additional protein is needed in corn silage, said Dr. D. N. Mowat of the Department of Animal Science, University of Guelph, in his address to the annual convention of the Soil and Crop Improvement Association held January 27-80 in Toronto. Animals that are expected to gain from 1,75 to two pounds per day require 11 to 12 per cent protein in their total ration. The average corn silage contains 8.5 per cent protein. Commonly used protein supplements are expensive, so farmers have no choice but to seek lower-priced alternatives. Dr. Mowat advised farmers not to rule out growing their own protein. High-quality alfalfa can contain 18 to 10 per cent crude protein. When fed with corn silage it provides the necessary supplement, Another way to increase nitrogen or crude protein content is increased by approximately 50 per cent. Urea tee be added when the forage is ensiled, or at feeding time, using shelled corn or inblasSes to ensure better mixing. Dr. Mowat cautioned that adding melt to corn silage does not make a complete ration. The farmer must be prepared to implant stilbestrol and inject or feed vitamin A, both necessary for economic production. Liquid silage additive is a relatively new product. Included in certain commercial mixtures, it is designed to provide a completely balanced ration when applied to corn silage when ensiling. However, it does not contain stilbestrol or vitamin A. The basic product is a mixture of anhydrous ammonia and minerals. Liquids are Mere conveniet and accurate in application and mixing compared to urea, said Dr. Mowat. SNOWMOBILE LEGISLATION URGED 'The Huron Federation of Agriculture passed a resolution Thursday night to ask the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to press for legislation to protect farmers from liability for injuries to seowmobilers using farm property whether with or without permiesion. Farmers at the meeting Were concerned es to just where they stood under the law if a Snowriaobiler was injured while on their property. Some felt that the landowner was liable even if the snowmobiler was trespassing. It was pointed out that the taw is very vague in the area and action should be taken to ensure the rights cif the landowner. A NEW WEED There's a new weed in Canada and it couidbe a menace to winter wheat fields and dairy farate in sotitifErn Ontario. The wild garlic weed was found early this fall on a farm near St. Catharine's, Ontario, says 0, A. Mulligan of the Canada Agriculture Plant Research Institute at Ottawa. The same plant Was also found 35 miles away at FisherVillo, Ontario, Dairy cattle, eating hay contaminated With the Weed, produced garlic-flavoured milk which Was subsequently rejected at 'a local dairy.
