HEMINGWAY Little by little and very slowly, we are getting information on the Nixon ten per cent surcharge. The first word was that it would have little, if any, affect on the Canadian farmer except a possible slight increase in the Canadian dollar which would mean slightly lower price for onr farm exports to the United States. This didn't seem too serious, but an item in the Free Press Weekly is more disturbing. It states that the import duty surcharge will be applied to slaughter cattle. The duty increases from 1,5 cents per pound to 3 cents per pound, This isn't a ten,. per cent surcharge! It is one hundred per cent increase. On a 1,000 lb. steer it is $30.00 instead of $15.00. On cattle under 700 lbs. the duty increases one cent per pound. This, I suppose, makes sense to the American government, The United States doesn't produce enough beef to satisfy her needs, so it is logical for them to favour the importation of feeder cattle rather than slaughter cattle since this will give the United States' farmer an incentive to import feeder cattle. However, the. news article makes a statement that has me baffled. It states that fresh, chilled or frozen beef are exempt from any surcharge. Is this a simple protection for the United States' consumer? This Hon. Wm. A. 'Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food for Ontario announced this morning that His Honour Judge James F. W. Ross, District Court Judge of Thunder Bay, will act as Commissioner in the "Inquiry into Egg Marketing" announced several days ago. Acting under authority of the Public Inquiries Act, Judge Ross will be given a wide scope of investigation, and he will make recommendations with special reference to: 1, the marketing and distribution of shell and processed eggs; 2, the proposed plan for marketing eggs in Ontario, including policies relating to quotas; the negotiability and attachment of those ouotas to facilities; distribution through grading stations and pricing and pooling policies; 3, the relationship of the marketing of Ontario eggs to the proposed National Plan; 4. the influence of vertical integration on the development and growth of the industry in terms of increased production, processing and grading facilities, producer credit and producer income. The Commissioner is also expected to make: (a) such recommendations in respect to the marketing of eggs as in his opinion would be applicable to conditions in Ontario; (b) such recommendations as in his opinion will promote the stabilization of the marketing and distribution of eggs in Ontario, and in concert with other provinces, the marketing of eggs in Canada; and (c) recommendations on such other matters as may be deemed appropriate. The judicial inquiry into egg marketing in Ontario will begin as quickly as possible following the appointment of a counselor to assist Judge Ross in the conduct of the inquiry. Public hearings will be held, witnesses will be called, and a comprehensive report has been requested by the Minister as quickly as possible, The monthly meeting of the South Huron Rabbit Breeders Association was held on Tuesday evening, Sept. 14, in Elimville Hall with a capacity crowd in attendance. The meeting was called to order by President David Stanley. The main business of the evening was finalizing of plans for the Club's booth at Exeter Fair which will be similar to last year's operation. The members of the 4-H Rabbit Club will be handling the information portion of the booth. Guests for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Wardsville. Mr, Smith spoke on the importance of maintaining a summer and winter balance of production. He encouraged members to strive for better winter production to help equal summer production in order to fill the demand for their product, The name of Doug Fenton was drawn on the accumulated prize but as he was absent, the prize was held over for next month's draw. 13111 Dickey was auctioneer for the Dutch Auction and winner of the prize was Earl Dow. Members will be notified when and where the next meeting will be held. Canada's productive forest land is growing about 21/2 times the amount of wood annually consumed, but the gap is quickly narrowing, New use for old Old rubber tires mild become a farmer's best friend. Professor )3. J. Teskey of the University of Guelph, has found that one of the components of rubber tires makes an excellent mulch, Professor Teskey, a fruit tree specialist with the Department of Horticultural Science, began a co-operative program with a tire company two years ago. The company wanted a satisfactory Means of disposal for mountains of old, bare, and apparently useless tires. Professor Teskey was interested in providing for the needs of fruit trees. Professor Teskey has discovered that shredded nylon cord from rubber tires makes an excellent mulch for fruit trees. Mulches are important. Besides conserving moisture and eliminating unwanted weed competition, they improve soil structure, texture, aeration, and tilth. They also help maintain the microorganism balance in the soil, prevent , evaporation, erosion and runoff, insulate the roots against damaging 'fluctuations in soil temperatures, and improve fertility. "For a tree, mulch can mean the difference between life and death," says Professor Teskey. Any inexpensive material which could provide all these benefits would be welcomed by gardeners and farmers alike. Nylori cording could be such a material. • For the tire company, this discovery solves a difficult disposal problem, The pollution-conscious public objects to the burning or burying of old tires. Leaving the tires to disintegrate naturally is a long, slow process requiring a great deal of space. Now, by separating the rubber from the nylon, the rubber can be recycled into the tire industry and the nylon shredded for use as mulch. found tires Professor Teskey has been testing the mulch for two years in a sour cherry orchard near Norval, Ontario. The dark, wool-like material is placed to differing depths around young cherry trees, some of the most delicate of fruit trees. The mulch has a desirable slow disintegration rate and does not pack down, Chemical analysis has revealed that the mulch contains small amounts of various nutrients such as magnesium and potassium, However, according to Professor Teskey, these will neither harm nor benefit the trees. The cost 'to the grower is expected to be reasonable; the financial return to the tire company minimal. It is not essentially a moneymaking venture. However, the program could set an example for co-operation in checking pollution.

HEMINGWAY would hardly seem reasonable because Canadian exports of beef to the United States are such a small percentage of the total need. On a news report on radio today, September 10, it was suggested that this increase of $15.00 in the duty could result in a drop of $1.50 per hundredweight on choice steers, but no decrease in the carcass price, If I were in the meat packing business I think I could make an extra $15,00 or so not only on the carcasses l ship to the United States, but also on what I sell in Canada. A pretty juicy bonus! Canada exported approximately 35,000 cattle for slaughter last year. At $15.00 per head, this would mean an added profit of $425,000 to the t Canadian meat packing industry on exports alone at the expense of the Canadian farmer, Just how much more will be made on Canadian sales I have no idea, Certainly it is an amount that Canadian beef farmers can't afford to lose. It doesn't need to happen. Canada doesn't produce enough beef to supply our consumers. Let's just stop importing a surplus and use our own beef and only import what we need, It seems to me that Canadian governments have abused farmers for the benefit of many corporations which is bad enough, but when foreign governments feel free to do the same thing, it's just too much! Commissioner named for egg inquiry With the chance of frost at any time during September, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food horticulturists recommend bringing houseplants indoors very soon. Potted plants can be dug up directly, But, those planted directly in the garden soil may need to be divided and cuttings taken. See that all plants are in good condition before bringing them in the house, Remove any insects and gently hose down the foliage. For plants that are too large, take three or four-inch cuttings of the youngest and strongest shoots. Root them in sand or in a glass of water. Obtain these cuttings now for successful overwintering of your garden plants.
