The price increase that has come about is quite acceptable but there seems to be conflict- ing opinions as to how much credit should go to the new method of sale. The number 1 hogs going to market hardly justifies the. change in price. Perhaps we would do well to wait a little Were forming opinions. One thing that seems to be causing general dissatisfaction is the wide variation in prices from day to clay and even on the same day. The result seems to be requests for the pooling of the price so that over a given period the price would be the same to all pro- ducers. It can be done As has been stated many times by the hog marketing board, it can be done. How- ever in the past the powers that control •the regulations under the act have told us that new regulations would have to be passed and perhaps a vote of producers would be neces- sary to make pooling legal. Now the hog producer's board has received some indication from the Farm Products Mar- keting Board that pooling of price could take place without any particular difficulty. De- finite clarification will have to come from government before' any action can be taken. The second consideration is the period over which. the pool- ing would take place. If on the basis of one week there would be no appreciable increase in costs of operation. Most farm- ers would be several days late in receiving their cheques. If the period were by the quarter interim payments would be necessary and chequing costs would increase by something like $70,000, or almost double present costs per year. Establish areas? The third problem to be con- sidered is the area of pooling. If it is for the whole southern Ontario area there is no prob- lem but there is a difference in quality between a Grade A corn fed hog carcass and a Grade A carcass from a hog fed on a oat -barley ration. This could c a us e dissatisfaction since Grade A hogs from areas of high corn ration have been selling 25 to 50¢ below other areas. If boundaries for areas are to be set up the difficulties are great. Again perhaps we should wait a little before we make a decision. „In regard .to the present in- vestigation into machinery pricing little progress has been According to the Ot- tawa Report only one man- ufacturer has presented a brief and has been quite reluctant to supply details of operation that are needed. However, the committee is planning on visits to the various plants and hope to get a better idea of opera- tions. It is unlikely that the committee will be able to re- port to this session of Parlia- men . drips freely from the sample. • 70 to 75% if the ball holds its shape but only a few drops of free juice, • 60 to 70% when the ball falls apart slowly and there is no free juice. • Less than 60% if the ball falls apart quickly, if the moisture content is above 75%, you can expect spoilage. Wilting and even con- ditioning in ay be necessary with young forages. High le- gume fields will be the hardest to wilt. But don't try the forage below 65% -you may have trouble packing it and molds might occur. 'Young suggests reinforcing a corn silo with extra hoops if you plan to put grass silage in 11. Grass silage, because it packs more, is in the neigh- bourhood of 15% heavier than corn silage. Make your corn silo do extra duty this spring: use it for holding the early flush of spring pasture until it is need- ed for feed in the suinmer, "Any grass left over can be covered with corn silage and used next winter," says Dr. Stan Young of the O.A.C. Field. Husbandry Department. "Cows will like early grass silage just about as well as corn silage. And most weeds will be small lin this type of silage, Watch the moisture content closely when putting up spring !grass silage. It should be be- tween 65 and 70%. Try the 'grab test".

Square -egg -gathering baskets are something you might think about, The OAC Poultry De- partment uses them and Pro- fessor John Walker believes they have quite a few advan• tages. The filler flats that are placed in the basket prevent many cracksand allow the eggs to cool rapidly. Plastic flats are available so the eggs can be washed right in the basket and no double handling will be necessary, Main dis- advantages: clumsy to handle until you get used to them and the baskets won't fit round egg washers. * « Don't wait too long to kill the dandelions in your lawn. C. B. Kelly, TAO botanist, says there are extra benefits if you can spray with •2,4-D during the early warm spells by mid-May. Some of the weeds that are hard to lcill with 2,4-D are more susceptible in early ,spring (weeds such as black medick, knotweed, chickweed, creeping charlie). Al s o there's less chance of hurting ornamentals if you spray before the peren- nials have made much growth and before annuals are trans- planted. If you start early you might be able to get two ap- plications of 2,4-D before the weeds get resistant. Killing the weeds early gives grass a chance to fill in the spaces while growing conditions are good. * * Tractors are now being used to the limit to get the spring seeding done on time. If you have to hurry, don't neglect safety, says Hal Wright, safety specialist with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. He stresses: don't refuel a run- ning tractor; don't let a child take a man's place on a trac- tor; call a neighbour or use your second tractor to help you out of wet spots. * a * Crop rotation will help con- trol storage rots of turnips, OAC botanists suggest a 4- or 5 -year rotation. Pon't include rape, kale or cabbage in it - they are related to turnips and will serve as hosts for the storage rot organisms, Watch too that you don't spread dis- eased turnips, culls, waxing plant refuse, or manure con- taining turnips refuse over fture fui uturnip land, Other ideas that will help prevent the dis- Knots in pine logs are al-, 'nest imperishable, decaying much less rapidly than the log itself.

Prof. Junior chorus - No. 2, 83; By D. G.

This will' provide a one -day supply for 20 to 30 head of beef cattle. The larger size is best if there! issome danger the power, might fail and you'll need a 2 - day supply. • * Bringing untested cattle into a brucellosis -free or "under - test" county -is not only illegal, it is dangerous to •the health of the herds in that area. So cautions Dr. N. H. McAninch of the Health of Animals Divi- sion. All cattle except steers, calves under '8 months of age, and officially vaccinated ani- mals under 36 months of age must be negative to a blood test immediately before being brought into a certified or test- ed area; they must be kept isolated from the herd from which they are taken, and re- tested after 30 days. The Health of Animals Division makes the second test. The purchaser is responsible for the first test. * 1 * Act quickly if you are think- ing of tile drainage this year. Otherwise, says Art Campbell, extension engineer with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, you mightn't be able to get last minute service from the ditching machine operators in your area and will have to wait till next year. If you need drainage, maybe you can't af- ford to put it off another year. Speak to your ditching opera- tors as soon as possible. • * * If you have a father -son ar- rangement on your farm the OAC Economics Department suggests that you set up a MI: - rent account from which all farm operating costs ;..., well as regular and set allowances to each should be paid. Then, each partner should have his own account from which his personal expenses can be paid. This will prevent many of the annoying misunderstandings that can so easily occur. • White Seed Beans MICHELITE and SANILAC VARIETIES Available in All Oracles of Both Michigan and Canadian GrOWn Seed AN EXTRA.
