THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER. ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1956
Corn Price Remains $25.00
Despite Canners Demands
"Where Better Bulls Are Used'irr
We received a news release from the
Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada stating
that Lochinvar Bonheur Rocharm made a re
cord of 33108 lbs. of milk containing 1326 lbs.
of fat, 3.98% Argentina.
This is a new South American record. This cow
was exported as a calf coming from the herd of Lome
B. Reid of Ripley, Ont, She is sired by Keendale Lochin
var and her mother by College View Governor, making
her a % sister to Maple Lea L. G. Rosine, Ex & All- Can.,
who is the dam of our young bull, Maple Lea Skokie,
and has 5 records on 2X that average over 20,000 lbs.
of 3.8% milk.
Then we remembered that another close relative
of thtf Rosine cow had made a high record and on
checking back found that her 100% sister had pro
duced as.a two year old, 22765 lbs. of milk, test 3.64%,
828 lbs. of fat: This record was also made in South
America.

Wonderful production for any country.
This is the type of family from which we are choos
ing our young bulls to carry dn the high production
established by the bulls that we- ,are using now and
have used previously.
A board of arbitration has
awarded canning crop growers
•the same price for sweet corn as
last year despite demands by
processors for a substantial re
duction.
The board, under -the chair
manship of Judge Harold E.
Fuller, Hamilton, maintained the
195,5. price Of ?25 per ton. The
board ruled against submissions
by the .Ontario Food Processors’
Association urging a reduction of
14 B percent.
Negotiations foi’ sweet corn
began January 31 in Toronto.
After a series of meetings,
negotiations were broken off on
February id, and the matters in
dispute submitted tp arbitration,
In a final effort to avoid arbitra
tion, growers and processors met
again March 8, but were unable
to reach agreement.
The processors reduced their
final negotiation offers substan
tially in arbitration. Growers,
however) held to their same
position, submitting there was no justification for the price of
sweet corn being reduced below
the 1955 price.
The growers asked for a uni
form form of contract containing
the terms of the negotiated
agreement. In its award, the
Board stated: “In the opinion of
the Board, the form of contract
is definitely a matter for arbitra
tion dn any year”, but added that
“In view of that fact that these
contracts are being entered Into
shortly . . . jt is1 not feasible,
this year, to attempt to enter a
uniform contract,”

forms comes what is known as
‘‘seeding”. In the vernacular of
farming two decodes ago this was
the main planting. Today many
farmers are reducing their acti
vities at this time of year due
to increased acreage of hybrid
corn as a feed crop. Just whether
■this change is completely justi
fied is perhaps up to each indi
vidual farmer and is 'hotly de
bated.
(Some factors that are used" in
favour of corn are higher yields
per acre and. higher value per
ton. According to many farmers
who have made the change, they
are growing 100 bus. of corn to
the acre, >but according to the
grain companies, who -are re
ceiving the corn from growing
contracts, -the average yield of
this area is approximately only
half of this -figure.' Conclusions
in this case were made at 14-1,5 %
moisture on shelled basis deliver
ed to the elevator. The estimates
of the farmer's who . think they
grow 100 bus. to the acre are
not made on an accurate weight,
nor on a shelled basis at a .moist
ure level for safe storage.
If thp elevator men are cor
rect then the farmers of this area
are simply fooling themselves,
50 bus, of corn at 14-1:5-% moist
ure is >2800 lbs. of feed. The
average moisture content of this
area is almost 30% although
some pf the earlier hybrids do
harvest at lower levels. This also
means substantially lower yields,
as much as a 25-35 bus. degrease.
The chap who still believes the
old - fashioned cereal grains
(wheat, mixed grain etc.) are
their 'best bet have good reasons
for continuing to put forth a
moderate effort every spring at
seeding .time. They have behind
them generations of plant breed
ing which* have produced var
ieties suited to their needs. If
they are growing .a feed crop they
can' quite possibly grow a crop
within a few hundred weight of
the corn farmer, and .perhaps
their net profit per acre on a ten-
year average will be equal to or
more than other chaps’.
. In any discussion of this sort
we must be fair. First we must
assess our soil type and whether
it is more suitable for one than
the other. Next we must 'look at
the equipment on hand and the
availability of any that must be
hired at custom rates. Available
suitable storage must be consider
ed and then comes production
costs per. acre in relation to
yield. After this comes manage
ment of the whole project upon
which will he 'based the final
■net profit per aci'e.
Management, we 'believe, is the
whole secret. The cereal grain
farmer must be on his toes at the
seeding time to obtain good yields
in July and August. The corn
grower must be alert also at
planting time. Soil temperature
must be correct for germination
but if a delay is made in the
spring he runs into a late- harvest
Which can mean spring plowing
will lower yields of the next crop.
This was the case of 1954-55,
If finances are short it has
been suggested that a cereal crop
can be grown with less capital
investments in fertilizer’ and spe
cialized equipment. Also you get
quicker returns on your invest
ment-up to 90 days sooner. In
other words you harvest the
cereal dn July—'the corn in Octo
ber. That means you can reinvest
the crop in livestock during this
period and perhaps be able to
obtain that extra profit the corn
grower says he makes—while
the corn is still not even harvest
ed;
To be candid about it, corn is
making acreage gains as the plant
breeders bring out new hybrids
that meet our own requirements
and with this gradual change
will come new ideas of soil mana
gement, new machines, and -per
haps within the next decade this
area will become .‘‘corn belt
land”.

port is considered significant -by
the Ontario Vegetable Growers’
Marketing Board since processors
declined to discuss or even con
sider’ negotiating a uniform form
of contract during the lengthy
series of negotiations this year.
Another point in the Board’s
report on sweet corn which could
have an effect on the conduct
of negotiations in future is the
suggestion ‘'That it would ap
pear, therefore, that it would be
desirable that there should he
some specific date for the nego
tiations to commence and a
specific date for the termination
of negotiations.”
Growers 'through their can
ning crop marketing board have
been pressing strongly for the
Farm Products Marketing 'Board
to change the regulations provid
ing for a definite date for start
ing and completing negotiations.
Processors have been equally
strong in their opposition to
specific date for the beginning
and end of negotiations after
which all matters in dispute
would automatically be settled
by arbitration. To date, the
Farm .Products Marketing Board
has refused to grant the growers’
■request which the Board of
Arbitration recommends in its
report.

and here's the Reason why ..
We used to think we were feeding a balanced ration to poultry
* when we mixed in some soybean meal jrnd a little meat, meal and
milk powder to “balance” the carbohydrates of the grain. But
modern research libs shown there is .much more to it thanxjjiat.
BCSOarch has shown that the carbohydrate ingredients. in a poultry
ration must’ be carefully selected in order to provide enough
energy. and the protein ingredients must be selected to provide
. the right 1‘p'rotein-cnergy” balance. Research has shown, too, that
feeding efficiency is greatly improved by mixing in minute
quantities of several “additives”. * ■
• Cafeteria poultry feeds are formulated according to this latest
scientific information. And you don’t have to take our word for it*
The formulas are “opejV’ for anyone who cares to look . » . they
are printed in full detail oh every bag or tag. showing the pounds*
-ounces or “units” of each and every ingredient. Come in and let
us show1 you . . and let us tell you about the results that
Cafeteria feeders in this -area are getting. Wo think you, too, will
want to get the same kind of results from your Own cbiclcS,

to Como in and talk it over.
