Fieldman Comments Predicts Limited Benefits In Gov't Price Supports .1, CAr.1- HEMINGWAY On May 15 the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture held a mem- bers' meeting in Toronto. In the president's address, Gordon Creer called attention to the fact t'lat conflict could develop be- tween diff erent commodity groups. For example grain grow- ers would like higher prices vhile livestock feeders like cheap fed. The Federation of Agri- culture must make every effort ti unite the aims of these dif- lerentgroups for the benefit of farmer. The stabilized prices of the. dif- ferent commodities was discus- sed at length. The cream pro-- c'ucers felt that the 640 for but- u•r was realistic and was the price arrived at by their formu- la. The concentrated producers felt. that the drop of 2e. in powder c•as unjustified and would prob- ably cause too great a trend away from powder and flood some other branch ef the dairy industry. The floor price on eggs was gratifiyng to the poultry pro- Gucers though there was soine fear expressed that this might be an incentive price which might cause surplus produgtion. The wool growers felt that the 600 price with deficiency payment on only the top grade was of very little benefit since only a small percentage of this grade was produced in Ontario and the price of the lower grades • would not be increased. Wheat producers . have little hope of getting more than 805, HENSALL SALE PRICES Prices at Henson Community Sale Thursday, May 15 were as follows: Weanling pigs $14.75 to $18.70 Cltunks 2000,to 24.80 Feeders 26.00 to 32,00 Sows 118.00 to 131.00 • Holstein cows 1.65.00 to 190.00 ' Durham cows 180.00 to 200,00 Holstein. calves .... 15.50 to 22.00 Durham calves 28.00' to 62.00 There were 640 pigs and 250 head of cattle and calves- sold. Elect Officers For Calf Club First meeting of the Exeter 4-11 Beef Club was held at the farm of Whitney Coates, on St. Marys road, The following offic- ers were elected: President, Bill Etherington; vice-president, Don Hend eri ek; secretary -treasurer, Gerald Wal- lis; , press reporter, Doris Cornish, A class of senior heifers and a class of market calves were judged. Arthur Bolton gave out pamphlets on judging, feeding and cart of 'calves, Lunch was served by Keith and his parents, Live Poultry Wanted! of the last ten year aveiage ficiently. which is considered unsatis- factory. This could result in a switch to livestock thus demor- alizing the livestock industry in western Ontario, in commenting on support prices it seems to me their pur- ' pose is limited to giving the . farmer some protection against being forced into bankruptcy while discouraging the produc- tion of huge surpluses. It also seems to me that farmers are spending too much time and ef- fort on support prices and might do better by devoting a large portion of this energy to mar- keting their produce more ef- In both hogs and tobacco, where a real effort is put into selling, the producers are re- ceiving very favorable returns. It's worth serious consideration. At a 'meeting of the Huron Dairy Co-Ordinating Board it was decided to hold the Dairy Princess contest in conjunction with the Soil and Crop Improve- ment Ass'n twilight meeting. This proved very successful last year and we are hoping for a repeat performance. Information for prospective contestants is available at the Federation of Agriculture office, Box 310, Clinton. Report From Parliament Speech From Throne Reveals Huge Projects By W. H. A. THOMAS, MP The op eni ri g of Canada's twenty-fourth parliament w a s quiet compared with the. glo- rious ceremonies of last autumn when Her Majesty was in attend- ance, but it was nonetheless an interesting and important occa- sion. We had tulips this time in- stead of autumn colours but the weather was just as kind and the sun was bright. The speech from' the throne mentions several important visi- tors who are 'expected in Can- ada within the next few months. Princess Margaret is expected to take part in the centennial celebrations in British Colum- bia and to visit the Shake- spearian Festival in' Stratford. The prime ministers from all parts of the Commonwealth or other representatives will he here for the Commonwealth Economic Conference. President • Eisen hower of the U.S.A. and Presi- dent Adenaur of Germany are also expected to visit Canada this year. The throne speech notes that the peoples of the world aro in- dicatihg an ever-increasing de- sire to moke use of our scientific knowledge for peaceful purposes rather than for the development of nuclear devices, .for war. It indicates that our government will whole heartedly support this trend. It promises, however, that our national defences will be maintain ed. We are to have a. statutory bill of rights, more housing money, a railway branch to Great Slave Lake, progress on the south Saskatchewan Dam, and a vigorous program in the far north, it is proposed that the CAC. ninon* in broadcast- ing be. modified and that a study of the problems of small busi- ness establishments be under- taken with a View to protecting their interests as well as the TOP CASH PRICES FOR YOUR ENTIRE FLOCK Regular Weakly ,Pickups Public arrangements have been made to handle live poultry, GET t)UR PRICES BEFORE YOU sew LLOYD CUSHMAN PHONE 9s4 EXETER 004044,40,"aiae.S•-• public interest in these days of big business and big labour. It is also proposed to amend several pieces of legislation in- cluding the Farm Loan Act and to instal a system of simultane- ous translation in the House of Commons similar to that at the United Nations so that when a speech. is made in English, those who wish can plug in their ear- phones and hear it in French or vice versa. This should save much time in the 'proceedings of the house and also make some of the speeches more interesting to those who are not bilingual. 'Usually the work of the house on the first day is limited to the formalities of the opening, including the reading of the Speech. from the Throne. After that is completed the custom. has been to adjourn and attend a reception given ,by the speaker for the members and their guests. This tirnei however, the government went right to work. The prime minister introduced a number of bills and the mover and seconder of the address in reply to the speech from the throne finished their 40 minute speeches. To the members of parliament personally and those of their wives who are able to be pres- ent, the social functions con- nected with the opening are a pleasant diverSioe.

The other day, 'Putting away in the freezer a lamb we had butchered, 1 came to wonder just how much of an animal was actually thrown away as not of much use to anybody or anything —the inedible parts, I mean—and suddenly remembered that about two or three years ago I had read an article in a paper about just such thoughts, Then, of course, I got to wondering if I had saved the piece of paper or let it slip my mind, So I went hunting — and incidentally got a little extra cleaning done, too — and found, to my delight, what I was looking for. • This was by the UWO on how every inch of animals is used in medical research, and after per- using the following you will see that the only part of a butchered hog that's thrown away these days is the grunt. Could be, since this is a little old, they've found a way to use that, too. Medical science has found a use for every part of a food animal — except the grunt, moo and baa. Man has always realized the importance of red .meat for good general health, but until about 70 years ago, all. other parts were thrown away or used in making fertilizer. Today, how- ever, hooves, brain, glands, even hair, are already used in medicine or are playing a big part in medical research. Take the pituitary gland of a hog, from which doctors get ACTH, the arthritis aid. A hog pituitary weighs a fraction of a gram — some 1,360 are required to make up a pound. But it takes 400,000 hog pituitaries to make up a pound of ACTH. Every organ or gland has its medical by-product, many of them still in the experimental stage, Doctors and pharmacists at the University of Western On- tario medical. school suggested these medical uses for them: Adrenal glands: From beef, they are used to extract cortex for. treatment of Addison's dis- ease and attempts are now being made to extract cortisone from beef adrenals. Adrenalin from all animals is used to stop capillary haemorrhage, raise blood pres- sure, and as a stimulant for the sympathetic nervous system. Blood: Fibrin foam from beef blood is used to control bleeding during surgery. Haemoglobin in tablet form is used as a tonic for anemia and neurasthenia and highly purified bovine albumin is the reagent in testing for Rh factor ,in human blood. Bone marrow: Used for treat- ing various blood disorders. Brain: Sheep brain fractions are being tried in various mental conditions and as nerve seda- tives. Duodenum: Enterogastrone, an experimental treatment for ue- lers, is developed from the small intestine. Fat: Benzoinated lard,: mostly from beef, is used as an ointment base. Hoof: Gelatin from hooves has many clinical and medicinal applications. Liver: Beef and hog liver ex- tracts are used for pernicious anemia, and bile salts from liver secretions are Used to treat gall bladders and abnormalities in fat digestion. Cortisone. is derived from beef and sheep bile after more than 30 complex chemical reactions, Lungs: Herapin, an anti -coagu- lant, comes from beef lungs. Ovaries: Froin beef, they pro- vide estrogen, a common treat- ment in certain menopause all- ments, and progesterone, for treatment of abortion. Pancreas: Beef and pork pancreas are the only source of therapeutic insulin. They also produce starcli and protein diges- tive enzymes, one of which is being tried experimentally to dis- solve blood clots. Spinal cord: The cords provide a culture medium for manufac- turing rabies vaccine. and also provide the starting material for preparing many hormones. Stomach: Gastric juices from hog stomachs are commonly used to treat peptic Ulcer and some pepsin is extracted for medicinal use. These are only a few of the organs and glands and there are many more, all used medicinally in one way or another. A London physician points out that even the least likely animal products finds some markets. Gall stones, for instance, are sold in some Japanese markets to cure boils, reduce fever and as a good luck charm against evil spirits. Seek More For Poultry Number of young people at- tending the organization meet- ing of the new 44-1 poultry club in Seaforth Tuesday night was disappointing, officials reported, but they plan to continue the project. The new club will specialize in egg production, rather than meat production, and flocks will be scored by yield, manage- ment. feed conversion, cost of production and percent mortal- ity. The club program was worked, out recently at a meeting of agricultural office officials and! farmers in the county. The or- ganization is open to all boys and girls in Huron and applica- tions can .still be accepted. Earl Hunt, of the OAC poultry extension department, was guest speaker at Tuesday's meeting. One of the helpful hints he pro- vided was that a blue light, makes catching chickens easy for individual treatments such as debeaking etc. Chickens are blind to blue light, CROP REPORT By D. H.
