petition
on milk marketing
By J. CARL. HEMINGWAY
HFA Fieldman
On October 10 Huron County
Federation of Agriculture di-
rectors li el d their regular
monthly meeting.
President Warren Zurbrigg
reported on the meeting with
CKNX to plan the point of view
program for the coming Farm
Forum season. A committee of
the president, the two vice-
presidents and the secretary
was appointed to attend future
pianning meetings.
Voting delegates to the pro-
vincial annual were elected. as
/Cows — Warren Zurbrigg,
Gordon Greig, Elmer Ireland,
lady delegate, Mrs. Warren
Zurbrigg; alternates, Alex Mc-
Gregor, Alf Warner, Mrs. Alex
McGregor, A delegate from the
Junior Farmers and Junior In-
stitute and alternate was left
to them to elect.
The county annual is set for
November 29 at the Londes-
boro Hall with the usual dinner
for township ditectors and the
meeting following, This year
the ladies of the county federa-
tion are setting up a meeting
of their own after they have
heard the guest speaker, It is
hoped that there will be a
good representation of the
ladies out to take part,
Warren Zurbrigg reported for
the concentrated, milk produc-
ers stating that a petition re-
questing a vote on a milk mar-
keting plan is presently being
circulated. This has been al-
most completed by the other
dairy groups and the concen-
trate hope to get their's done
by October 31.
Oppose auction selling
Bob McGregor reported on
the Ontario beef producers di-
rectors' meeting in Toronto,
stating that the chairman of
the Farm Products Marketing
Board strongly recommended
that farmers should send a
much larger number of their
cattle to the public stock yards
at Toronto to make it more
competitive in establishing
prices.
However, Dr. Patterson of
the Ontario Dep't of Agricul-
ture economics branch reported
that in a survey his dep't had
conducted throughout the prov-
ince and contacted 400 beef
producers it was found that
70% were opposed to the pres-
ent auction method of selling
now being used at the Toronto
stockyards.
The question of bonding com-
munity sales was discussed
when it was learned that one
of these had gone broke and
was currently paying off at
62# on the dollar.
There had been some ques-
tion on bonding of cattle buy-
ers generally and it was sug-
gested that they too should be
required to obtain a license at
a nominal fee which would also
require bonding,
Official grading of beef car-
casses to the producer with
government Iveighing as well
was requested but so far has
had no support from the Dep't
of Agriculture.
Several resolutions were ap-
proved for presentation at the
OFA annual and no doubt you
will hear about these at that
time.

KONGSKILDE GRAIN SILOS—Sketch shows the Kongs-
kilde grain silo erected, with a cemented pit to handle
loose grain by the wagon -load. In this application, the
grain -blower is placed under the pit and blows the
grain from the pit into the silo before the next grain -
load arrives from the field.
TRIPLE "K" HARROW—This is the Triple "K" harrow
with trailer harrow in working position, which the Kongs-
kilde Manufacturing Co. will distribute from the as-
sembly plant it is establishing in Exeter. Over 1,000
units are expected to arrive here from Denmark before
the end of the year.
More rabies found,
urge precautions
Reasonable pr ecautions said the gov't veterinarian.
"Persons should avoid hand-
ling wild life without taking
proper precautions, and steps
should be taken to control
dogs."
After receiving this warning
Monday night, Exeter council
agreed to request citizens to
continue to tie their dogs.
Mayor F'oaley suggested that
anyone who hasn't had his dog
vaccinated within the past 30
months should do so imme-
diately.
Should be continued against
rabies in view of the increased
incidence in Huron county this
summer, it was indicated this
week by J. C. MacLennan,
Seaforth, sub -district veterina-
rian for the health of animals
division, Canada Dep't of Agri-
culture.
MacLennan reported nine
cases have been found in Hu-
ron county in the four-month
period from June to September
this year. They involved seven
cattle, three foxes, one dog and
one wolf.
"In view of this recent la -
crease in the number of cases
of rabies in wild life, it is
most important that reason-
able precautions be taken,"

bargains,
The Kongskilde Manufactur-
ing Co,, which is establishing
its Canadian assembly plant
and distributing centre in Exe-
ter this fall, has won an outstanding reputation in Europe
for the quality of its farm pro-
ducts.
Its rapidly - expanding sales
throughout western European
countries have won feature at-
tention from some of the top
farm publications on that con-
tinent.
The firm's Triple X cultiva-
tor and blow -through grain silo
share leadership in sales among
the firm's products, which also
include gram blowers, crew -
type grain cultivators and
spark -arresting inufflers.
All-purpose cultivator
Kongskilde's Triple K imple-
ment—described as an all-pur-
pose cultivator — combines a
spring tine cultivator, spring
tine harrow and drag harrow
which prepares a seed bed
quickly with a minimum of
tractive power.
The eonmany claims that the
extreme resilience of the nar-
row- shaped 'tines, manufac-
timed of specially hardened
spring steel, ensures that the
soil is finely pulverized. The
high ground clearance of the
frame allows the implement to
keep clear of. loose weeds and
consequently it does not drab'
weeds even on unclean ground.'
Features of the implement
include a patensed self -level-
ling device which keeps it in-
dependent of the movements of
the tractor to ensure an even -
working depth. It prepares an
even seedbed, a special ad-
vantage to crops harvested by
a combine.
The implement is cleaned in
aeid twice to remove oxide
scales and rust and is then
treated with a double coating
of point with modern stoving
treatment to provide rust pro-
tection.
The Triple K comes in two
models, on one of which the
working depth of the tines in
adjusted by mean$ of two
spindles, m the other by a
handwheel which can be ope-
rated from the tractor eat.
The Kongskilde trailer her,
row has specially -shaped tines
which overcome clogging of
rated and a swinging link sus-
pension which allows it to ooe-
rate at a constant depth re-
gardless of the working depth
of the implement to which it
is attached, "
Blow -through silo
The company's silo is made
of air-dried wood to make it
equally well suited for drying,
as welt as storing of grain.
The wood, it claims, is supe-
rior to cement and metal be-
cause it does not retain con-
densation on the silo walls.
Air is blown through a per-
forated ventilation pipe in the
middle of the silo from where
it seeks its way out through
the grain. The wooden boards
of the silo wall have openings
which are large enough to let
the air pass out without any
difficulties but which, are small
enough to prevent grain from
getting stuck in them,
One of the sections in the de-
sign provides for a manhole
at suitable height for eaky ac-
cess. A number of plexiglass
windows are provided from
which grain samples can be
extracted and temperature con-
trolled,
A grain -outlet, incorporated
at sack -height, is standard
equipment on the silo.
The grain -blower, used for
both transporting and drying
the grain, heats the air ap-
proximately 9.5 degrees E.
The Kongskilde silos come in,
16 different sizes, ranging from
6'7" to 13'2" in diameter and
from 9' 10" to 19' 8" in height,
