Many will be transplanted into small family vegetable plots, but many more are destined for the larger market gardens. As well, the large processing establishments contract for large acreages of tomatoes in many parts of Canada. In. Ontario alone nearly 20,000 acres will be planted to tomatoes for processing this year. Ontario and other eastern tomato growers will begin transplanting later this month. In British Columbia, gardeners are already setting out plants, For tomato growers on the prairies, mid-June is planting time.

This is one of nine recommendations concerning pollution which the Ontario Federation of Agriculture will take to the Robarts Cabinet for quick action. The capital grants programme now allows up to $2,500, assistance to farmers for certain projects. The recommendation calls for the purchase of pollution abatement equipment to be included now in the grants programme. Because of the high cost involved in the purchase of such equipment, and because the fight to control pollution benefits all of society, the OFA also wants the government to make an additional $2,000. per farmer available for the purchase of the pollution abatement equipment. The OFA wants the Ontario government's "Suggested Code of Practice" to be amended to include a certificate of approval for non-rural interests so farmers will be protected from pollution produced by industries or cities developed in generally farming areas. Gordon Hill, OFA President, says that the code does not protect the farmer's rights in the pollution control matter. He explains that the code must be changed before it receives approval from farmers. The Federation also calls for compensation to be paid to farmers when income is lost through restrictions imposed via the Energy and Resources Management Branch of the government. This would apply to zoning changes and loss of market ability. Triple-trailer trucks coming? No relief seen for farmers from heavy school tax Farmers received little assurance of relief from the heavy and unequal school tax burden they carry on their land, when the Ontario brief of the National Farmers Union was presented to the Cabinet of the Ontario Government May 19. Otto Prues, Ontario NFU Regional Coordinator, said the only small hope expressed was when Premier Robarts stated that they "intend to do something about taxes as soon as possible." The NFU brief to the Cabinet, and opposition parties reiterated demands made by farm union members through their locals, the past several months, to township and county councils in most areas across the province, that education tax be removed from farm land. Premise for school taxing reform is based on the fact that education is a service to people and not property, and that ownership of land for food production does not imply ability to pay. Mr Prues said that since the county school system has come into operation the education tax on farm land has become too great a burden on farmers with their present income. "Such a system may provide a more equal opportunity of education, but the cost to farmers in proportion to income can not be tolerated." He said that during the NFU presentation, Education Minister Wm. Davis vehemently defended the present school system, stating it is keeping costs down wherever possible, and denied that the system had been arbitrarily forced upon people. Mr. Prues said that members will be asked to reassess the situation in the near future, and determine what action may be necessary. Truckers throughout Canada and the U.S. are eyeing Alberta for the result of an experiment with triple-trailer trains, Edward Romaine reports in The Financial Post. Triple trailers aren't allowed anywhere in Canada. Alberta completed a six-month test of the units on its highways and the report on this is expected in about three weeks. A favorable report could allow truckers to use the very much larger units on some Alberta highways and would give truckers a basis for arguing with other provinces and U.S. states to be allowed to run the trailer trains. OVER $5,000.00 IN CASH PRIZES r. The Economics 14;401 af ,the 4 nada PeliartMent of griculture has updated the utlook for wheat following ecent World ,delrelOPMen0, WO ding the recently- rinotinced sale of 75 million ushels ,of Canadian wheat to U.S.S.R,.he The updating follows the nnual Canadian Agricultural utlook Conference held in awa, November 24 and 25, The main features of the iodated outlook include; — no substantial change in the ndicated acreage for the 970-71 crop year. The .original utlook indicated that plantings f a maximum of 20 million cres would only make a start in educing stocks.- - world exports will be oinewhat higher than in 968-.69 with relative stability in — no reduction in stocks in he hands of major world xporters and no sharp ovement in the world .ituation. slightly lower world roduction than originally orecast with the major changes ince the Outlook Conference ccurring in the Argentine and ustralian crops, The following is the text of he updated outlook: The preliminary estimate of 9 69 -70 world wheat roduction confirms the ndication given at the Canadian gricultural Outlook Conference that the world wheat crop would be down, but in spite of this supplies available for export would be higher. The Soviet Union is expected to be down 17 per cent, the United States down 7 per cent and Western Europe down. 5 per cent although Eastern Europe would be higher. The Argentine crop forecast previously at 250 to 275 million bushels could be closer to last ear's 217 million due to poor weather. Australian wheat crops appear to have deteriorated sharply in some areas and could be as much as 100 million bushels below the • H. P. WETTLAUF04 Oetti Phone 482-092 Conference estimate of 5201 million. The Canadian prOduvtion estimate for November, at 664.3 million, bushels is virtually unchanged from the Previqua estimate. This is 35 millicfn bushels higher than last year. World trade in wheat and flour in 196970 is now expected to increase over last year's 1,8 billion bushels with greater sales to Communist areas, the near East and a number of low producing countries. Canadian trade will be bolstered by sale to the I,J,S.S.R. under the long term agreement entered into in June 1966, of 2 million long tons of wheat (75 million bushels) for shipment prior to December 31, 1970. Some 260,000 tons will be as flour to Cuba. The majority of the two million tons would be within the 1969.70 crop year. The contract also provides that the U.S.S.R. would endeavor to buy the remaining quantity of 1.43 million long tons as soon as possible. Grades are mainly Nos. 3 and 4 Manitoba Northern. With the probability that world exports may be somewhat higher in 1969-70, and with relative stability in prices for two or three months, there is reason to expect that prices may not go lower than at present. Even if world trade should exceed last year's by 200 million bushels, and with allowance for lower production in Australia and Argentina, there would not be a reduction in stocks in the hands of major world exporters and no sharp improvement in the world situation could be expected. In Canada, if we assume 50 million bushels of the newly announced sale to U.S.S.R. is delivered in the 1969.70 crop year, total disposal, including exports and domestic use, could be expected to be about 515 million bushels, Production for the year was 685 million. Carry-over would still slightly exceed 1 billion bushels at the end of the year compared with 850 million to start the year. If we tentatively assume another 50 million bushels under the U.S.S.R. contract for delivery in the year 1970-71, the possibility exists of Canadian disposal of another 515 million bushels, or production from just over 22 million acres under ordinary yields. However, the problems and costs of carrying over a billion bushels makes it imperative that further increase of stocks be avoided. At the suggested acreage of 20 million for 1970, indicated at the Canadian Outlook Conference in November, average yields would still provide a large production. At this production level, supplies would be maintained and there would be very little reduction, of the heavy stocks by the end of July, 1970.. With present expectations, any increase above 20 million acres in 1971 would further add to the surplus problem. Know your weed problem to avoid useless spraying By H. lc, bang Soils and Drops Specialist Ontario Pepartment of AfiricUlture and Food Stratford, Ontario "I applied four pounds of Atrazine and look at tr!y corn field; it's full of twitch graPa" This comment was made by a farmer who sprayed his corn field to control a weed he thought was twitch grass, This was a mistake a costly mistake, On careful observation, the problem grass was identified as crabgrass, not twitch grass. Twitch grass (also known as couch grass or quack grass) is controlled' in corn by Atrazine, but crabgrass is not controlled easily and escaped the Atrazine treatment. To control crabgrass, use either a specific annual grass herbicide such as Eptam, Sutan or Lasso or Atrazine plus one to two gallons of oil as an early postemergent spray, Twitch grass is an upright perennial grass, which spreads by underground rootstalks and seeds, The undergtound rootstalks are white to yellow in color and are tough with numerous scaly joints. The leaves are green with rough margins and the base of the leaves have a pair of claw-like appendages. Crabgrass is an annual grass, which spreads by seeds. The stems are branching, with nodes at ground level. The leaves are broad, smooth and green to purple in color. The fruiting body consists of 8 to 12 branches on top of the stem. Don't make the same mistake. Know your weed problem before spraying.
