Montgomery, will return to open this year's Hensall Spring Fair and Implement Show on Friday. Mr. Montgomery, who left the department post last year to join the Canadian National Rail- way staff, will be ,guest speaker at the Hensell exhibition and he'll probably have some pertin- ent :facts to present to farmers. Officials of the fair, who have gambled for a bigger crowd by postponing the event two weeks, believe the change will pay off. They're looking for an increased gate. The show's attractions are sim- ilar to previous year's -all prov en crowd pleasers. The event will open with a school children's parade led by RCAF Centralia Band. After the official opening, judging of horses and cattle classes will get under way, along with the popular competitions for the Hensall Feeder Calf Club. Other highlights include a baby show, display of farm imple- ments and midway. There'll also be cash prizes' for the kids and a draw for a York sow bred to the new Landrace breed, iiiit i ig i 111 IIIIIl,l,iulIlI,pIItIIIlIIlPlIIllIIIIIlIIJII IIIllUtIIIUI1111111111111i UIUllllJI l($lItIIllI)ilIlIIIIIIlIlII Earth Down To By D.'I. HOOPER Strike One On May 27, 1958, the first Co-- operative (Copaco) Packers of Ontario discontinued payment of a 40 cent deduction per hog paid by the co-op to the Ontario Hog Producers' Aesociation, Copaeo, as this co-op is known in trade circles, is a 1,500 -mem- ber co-op. Participating and apparently sucessfully competing in a very competitive trade, this organization , has never • com- pletely been in accord with the compulsory marketing scheme as proposed by Ontario Hog Pro- ducers' Association, which has been backed by the Ontario Legislatiure and by many people, who, come July 25, 1958, are go- ing to be aware of the farmers' opieion. This column has, in principle, at all times been against "com- pulsory marketing." We are firm believers in free miterprise. Hav- ing knocked around this old world for some years we always are skeptical of these decisions which are' usually made by a shrewd, fluent operator, who, if the masses accept his elocitience,! ends up as the top dog on a very lucrative gravy train. Lately we have avoided this business of "hese marketing" not because it was no longer a pa- tinent point in our business.

Officials expect the calf club competition will be keen this year because many of the animals have made excellent gains. They also expect the boys and girls to pocket bigger profits than ever before. Poultry Course Clarence Lorne Malslaughton, who is with Cann's Mill, Ltd., Exeter, is one salesman among 28 students attending a four-day Short Course in chicken diseases and management at Dr. Sals- bury's Laboratories, Charles City, Iowa, He will receive a certificate at the conclusion of the course signifying his satis- factory completion of the chick- en short course.

Ouocafe ...ggot HitsArea; Kil i. Tu !mP'Cr*. s. Fieldnian Comments Will New Egg Support Provide Stabilization? The Ontario poultry producers executive held a meeting in To- ronto, June 3. At this meeting we were asked to consider the na satisl factoc ege acos mtilniegr e siosona. As you know the stabilization price for Grade A large is 44e delivered, oiled and in new wood- en cases at Montreal. Without going into details this seems to mean 34e to the producer in this area. Question: Is this a satisfactory price? About a year ago at poul- try producer meetings there was a definite feeling among large operators that the floor price which returned to 30c to the producer was too high. Many of these large producers stated that at this price vertical inte- gration*. would over -run the in- dustry as the 50,000 flock owners could make "scads of money" and force the small producer out of business, At the June 3 meeting, a large operator stated that this 340 floor price would be very close Lo a year round ceiling and would be quite unsatisfactory. He suggested that under this condition the support price shoulki be higher to provide a reasonable chance of profit for the producer, When the floor price was 380 in 1956, the price to the producer varied from 29r to 57e for Grade A large, In 1957, whea produc- tion was quite high, price varied from 280 to 530. These figures are from one local grading sta- tion and might vary a cent or two. Also under this floor the spread between Grade A large and Grade A medium reached a maximum of 25e, quite •uneea- sonable. With the higher floor price ap- parently we can expect little fluctuation of price throughout the year. I 'think this would be desirable. When producers get 570 consumers will pay up to 800, Producers who sell direct to Showers Boost District Growth BY ARTHUR S. BOLTON Showers during the past Week have done a great deal to boost all crops including bay, pasture and cultivated crops such as corn and beans. .A few farmers who have early hay mixtures have started hay making operations. The cold dry period during May has allowed some of the hardy weeds to get a head start on crops and weeds appear to be more of a problem in all cul- tivated crops than is the average, Many reports have reached our office that a great. deal of damage has beert done to early turnip crops by the maggot. All of the white beans have now been planted and some early fields are up. Thinning and blocking opera- tions continue in the sugar beet fields. iimmommenee. kstessesess • s• •sse • seeSszW: sti:s,sfilseese4:;.1" 6ife seesae•SeeaSISSeese.:;Wii:Rses...sesteSeSs.s.lis "••• ••• White Bean Seed Michelite, Robust, Clipper, Early Pea Bean, Registered and Commercial.

I would appreciate it very much if you could supply me with, costs which would deter- mine a comparatively uniform price for the year round that would return to the producer a reasonable income,. When your organization makes a recom- mendation to government it is important that they have some facts from the producers. Is the 340 to the producer too high, too low, or just right? White Bean Club Elects Officers Hensall 4-H white bean club got off to a strong start last week when 20 members enrolled at the initial meeting'held in Hensall town. hall.

J, J. Johnson, of the Canada Department of Agriculture, Lon, don, said this week that growers may replant field safely, .since the maggots disappear along with the destroyed plants. Control program recommended by Ontario Department of Agri, culture was outlined Wednesday by Huron ag rep. Douglas Miles. Warned he: `Turnipmaggot . is so prevalent that it adviss able that even on late -planted turnips spraying should com- mence at once." After seeding, use two sprays of heptachlor or aldrin, the first as soon as the seedlings are int and the second about a month later or up to the time the plants cover the rows. Apply "2E" heptachlor emu's sion or "20" aldrin emulsion 1i to 2 gallons in at least 100 gal- lons of water per acre for each spray. Apply at a pressure of not over 75 pounds with nozzles set as low as precticable. A home made spray rig can do 'an ef- fective job since high pressures are not required. Caution: Leaf burning may oe- cur under some conditions, pos- sible high temperature and dry soil. For those who are seeding now for late turnips, the following program is recommended: Drill into the soil one inch deep 5s's aldrin granulated 100 Ib. or 2is's heptachlor granulated 200 lb. per acre in a 10 -inch band. Sow down the centre of the band. Special equipment is required - for this method. Suspect Youths In Stack Fires Two hay staekstnear the Dash- wood road burned down over the weekend.
