Seek new agreement
on hydro payment
By J. CARL HEMINGWAY
An interesting meeting between
farmers affected by hydro lines
and representatives of hydro

quisition Committee of the Fed-

in Woodstock.
Farmers currently affected by
new lines are 'not happy with

tips on calves
Check these calf management
tips from livestock specialists of
the Ontario Department, of Agri-
culture. If you've been having
trouble growing calves, maybe
one of them will answer your
needs.
Start with t b e freshening
cow. When you judge ,her to be
within 24 hours of calving, move
her into a box stall or some
other area away from other
cows. R. might pay to make sure
the stall is draftfree, well bed-
ded - an clean,
Thoroughly scrub and disin
fect the stall. If you're using a
1% lye solution, dissolve. a 13
ounce can in about a quart of
cold water and add 8 gallons of
hof water to the mixture. A cre-
solof chlorine disinfectant and
wathiing powder Will do a good
job too.
Try tq be 'around the stable
when the calf arrives in ease
you're needed to help deliver it,
Wipe off any mucus from the
calf's nose and mouth hi pre-
vent soffocation, and alternately
compress and relax the chest
walls if •the calf doesn't start
breathing immediatply. Itub the
calf dry with buelap if it ie horn
during cold' weather. Squeeze
the material out of. the attached
navel cord and paint. the cord
end with a tincture of iodine to
prevent infection.
Be sure to remove all the ex-
pelled membranes and. soiled
bedding from the stall imme-
diately. And wash the cow's ud-
der and teats with a chlorine so-
lution before the calf begins to
nurse.

this more in line with the think-
ing of farmers two resolutions
were approved:
Whereas land values and con-
ditions change over a period of
years, therefore be it resolved
that hydro easements be for a
period of 20 years rather than
for all time.
Whereas the payment now of-
fered per pole setting is only
compensation :for the inconveni-
ence for having these obstruc-
tions and;
Whereas the present offer for
right of way is very low;
Therefore be it resolved that
payment for right of way be
based on the actual land value
of the land so taken.
It was learned at the meeting
that hydro is reviewing its offer
of $100.00 per acre for bush,
Froin this we •wcre led to be-
lieve that there would be an in-
crease in this.
It is a policy of Canadian law
that the land owner shall not
he enriched by the expropriation
of land for the common good but
this also implies though it does
not state that the land owner
shall be no worse off as a result
of this loss of rights.
When a new factory is to be.
built the land is valued on an
industrial basis which is often
$1,000.00 per acre. Is there any
reason to believe that tbe land
required to bring power to make
the ,factory possible is any less
valuable than the land that pro-
vides the foundation?

Dr. Burgess has set up a list
of suggestions for implanting and

"For steers that are going on

Two main factors make the

Mr. Oughtred. While apple pro-

must campaign to increase con-

Farmers - Attention.
Wanted; A number of progressive farmers in Western
districts who would like to set out a commercial block of
Red Raspberiies, either for your local trade or for shipping
to recommended city dealers. Recent Ontario -Quebec pro-
duction figures, prices at 40-600 per quart and dealer re-
ports would indicate short supplies everywhere.
To encourage a limited planting of new high yielding
patches, a well. known nursery is sending a special repre-
sentative of many years experience in commercial production
to personally interview and, educate interested farmers in
raspberry culture. This should result in higher unit yields,
longer patch life, Jess hand labor and when translated into
dollars at 'normal prices a relatively high ratio of profit
is assured.
Because of the present shortage of good planting ma-
terial, bookings can only be made for FALL PLANTING,
1959, limited to one acre. 100% Plant Guarantee. Continuous
cultural and marketing service, This is a rare opportunity
to increase your income.
If genuinely interested in berry growing as a sideline
to farming, write Box 400, Campbellford, Ontario, on or be-
fore August 38th, giving location of your farm. Our special-
ist will call later and completely analyze the business, soil
requirements and preparation, up-to-date cultural practices,
home markets and surplus shipping cost of planting, esti-
mated yields and profits per acre. Late replies cannot be
covered.
