Teletype hog selling
similar to Dutch clock
Technical problems still
plague introduction of the tele-
type hog selling system, ex-
pected to start Monday.
Inauguration is now slated to
Friday at 9 a.m.
The equipment, installed in
the offices of the board on
Dundas St. W., Toronto, was
put through a trial run Friday.
No hogs were sold in this man-
ner.
The main machine in the
marketing board headquarters,
with some 12,000 soldered con-
nections, is linked to buyers'
teletypes in packing plants and
another for smaller packing
firms in the marketing board
offices. Bids are started at :a
level seleeted by the board
and proceed to drop by de-
grees.
Buyers have a button be-
side their teletype machine
which, when pushed,registers
the bid for any specific lot of
hogs in the main office in To-
ronto.
The system operates in a
manner similar to the Dutch
clock used by the Ontario
Flue Cured Tobacco Growers
Msrketing Board except that
buyers are not in the same
room and do not know where
the bids are being made.
The electronic equipment re-
cords all bids which are kept
for future reference as well as
for a record of each day's
sales.
Friday, announcing the sys-
stem would be starting, the
marketing board commented
that "this system will be get-
ting close scrutiny from the
Ontario Hog Producers Mar-
keting Board, the Farm Prod-
ucts Marketing Board and
from producer organizations
and commodity groups across
the country."
Further, said the board, if
all persons• involved worked as
a team they should be able to
obtain the highest prices for
the producers' hogs and "the
processor will also have the
opportunity. of purchasing his
requirements under competi-
tive bidding and with an auto-
matic record of all sales for
present and future reference.".
The system. replaces thei
former bid- and - ask system,'
whereby the producer organ-
ization decided on an asking
price for the day's receipts of
hogs and asked for telephone
bids from various packing
firms.

column of last week was as
usual a masterpiece of inco-
herence and confusion. Try as
I might, 1 could not break the
code used by its author. An
ancient and long -dead Chinese
dialect might have been easier
to decipher.
The writer of this article, a
fieldman for the Federation of
Agriculture, begins by saying
that down through the years,
the ever-increasing sanitary
regulations imposed by our
gov't on the various plants that pre
process food products, make
such a large capital expendi-
ture necessary that the smaller
plants are being forced out of
business or to amalgamate,
thus eliminating competition.

visits Huron

By D. 11, GRIEVE
Assoc, Ag Rep.
An interesting visitor will be
arriving in Huron County on
Thursday, May 4, as guest of
the Huron County Junior Farm-
ers for a one week period. The
visitor is Mr. John Caldwell,
Moorfield, Kolmarnock, Ayr-
shire Scotland, and is repre-
senting the Scottish Young Far-
mers Association on an ex-
change visit to Ontario.
Mr. Caldwell is married and
has a family consisting of a
boy and a girl. He farms Moor -
field and a dairy farm with a
herd of Ayrshire cows, He is
active, however, in exploring
other sources of income from
his farm and has recently in-
troduced Dorset Horn sheep. At
'the same time poultry and
other remunerative side -lines
are followed,
He has also made and as-
sisted with arrangements for
several of the Ontario Junior
Farmer delegations when they
visited Great Britain.
, During the week Mr. Cald-
well will be staying at the
homes of George Wheatley,
Dublin and Robt. P. Allan,
Bru cell elcl.
Scuffling can cut corn yield
Scuffling corn too much or too deeply can hurt its
yield.
At least that's the inference you might draw from
1959-60 tests by the OAC. They were carried out on Guelph
,loam and Brampton heavy clay.
Stan Young of the OAC Field Husbandry Department
gives this outline of the experiment:
"We compared no cultivation to shallow and deep ,i
cultivations and varied the number of shallow and deep
cultivations. Weeds on all plots were controlled 100 percent
by the use of herbicides. This mean that any difference
between plots would be caused by the kind of cultivation.
These were the observations:
11
EFFECT OF CULTIVATION
3 shallow 3 deep
cultiva- cultiva-
. None Shallow Deep tions tions
Silage dry yields (tons) 3.2 2.9 2.7 2.8 2,3
Grain yield (bus.) 77.8 71.5 67.9 66.9 61,7
Height of plant (in.) 82.7 78.3 75.7 76.1 69,7
Note that shallow cultivation caused a smaller drop
than deep cultivation. Notice too that one cultivation caused
less damage than two. All cultivations reduced yield.
Part of the explanation of these results is the way
the corn root grows. Young says that when corn is 6 inches
high, its roots are 6 inches on each side of the corn plant.
He has dug up corn plants to show this. When the corn is
18 inches high, the roots are meeting in a 36 inch row
planting. This means that any cultivation will disturb roots
ulness it is kept further than 18 inches from the plants.
He also says that corn roots -are so close to the surface
of the soil that even shallow cultivations will disturb them.

Does the author mean that
the gov't will relinquish its
sanitary regulations if FAME
builds its own packing houses,
thereby taking the pressure off
the trade? This, of course, is
absurd since no gov't would
lessen its sanitary regulations
in the case of a FAME packing
house whether other private
packing companies were sim-
ilarly treated or not.
IT he meant that by building
FAME packing houses, the
former status quo of competi-
tion would be maintained then
he is equally as obscure and
baffling in his meaning, since
the author is part of a group
that wants the hog producers
to build their own abattoirs
and therein process their own
meat, which means that there
would be (if the author's pipe
dream comes true) only one

The Ontario Wheat Produ-
cers' Marketing Board, at a
regular meeting held in Toron-
to Thursday, approved recom-
mendation for the disposal of
present stocks of wheat owned
1 by the board.
The wheat, which is the ac-
' cumulation of surplus offer-
ings of the 1960 crop from deal-
ers, is in storage at such
;points as Kingston, Toronto
and Sarnia.
Board purchases to date
amount to approximately
1,200,000 bushels, of which the
board presently owns 570,000
bushels.
Following a review, the
board agreed that the execu-
tive committee take neces-
sary action for the movement
of all stocks from present lo-
cations into Montreal,
Once in store at Montreal,
the wheat would then be in
position for disposal into the
export market.
Total Ontario soft winter
wheat production for the 1960
crop amounted to slightly more
than 17,500,000 bushels.
