MARCH 8, 1962 ocafe Page Nine Semi0 $0cflor og board supporters chalk up decisive win Vote winner wants stud The man who headed the pools in Huron's hog vote Tues- day aaYs, he'd like to see some steps taken to prevent the fluctuation of prices. "1 think there should be a study of it," said George R. Campbell, RR 1 Seaforth.:;"Ei- thee we should pool the returns or do something to make the prices more even, We have to look into this prices pread. Campbell led the pools with 937 votes, over 100 more than the runner-up, Robert P. Al- lan, Campbell has switched his al- legiance since his election as a committeemen on the free en- terprise ticket in 1961. He says he definitely favors compulsion, now, "but I think we should try to improve the selling". As a result of his unusual po- sition, Campbell appeared on the lists of both the board sup- porters and the free enterprise group, which probably accounts for his high total, Campbell, 53, produces about 200 hogs a year, He and his sons, Arnold and Leslie, farm about 700 acres in McKillop. Mr. Campbell divides hi, sails). port in connection with the two farm organizations too, He says he supports the federation and he's also a member of the far- mers' union. Need tariffs forums feel Tariff rates on world markets are being reduced which poses a problem for Canada in her trade policy, in discussing this aL the farm forums Monday night members were agreed that Canada must have trade in order to exist but that tariffs should be arranged. to fit the season and the quantity of goods for export, Freer trade cannot help Fairfield forum members meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Lamport felt freer trade could do nothing to help Canada economically because it would allow cheaper agricul- tural products to flood the country and in most cases, there is already a surplus. Elimville members felt, too, that some restrictions were ne- cessary in trade policies else "certain products would get out control," All members were agreed that each industry needs pro- tection as does each country. As one member expressed it "We in agriculture need pro- tection the same as the munu- facturers of textiles or of elec- trical supplies," Elimville Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Elford and next week will meet with Mr. and Mrs. William El- ford, Fairfield Forum had 20 mem- bers present and will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Haist, Crediton, next Monday night.

Con. Milk Producers, stated that it must be clearly understood that the marketing plan for milk must be for the benefit of all dairy farmers. Milk prices are too low and farmers need .to develop a plan to improve their position. Mr. Carey, fieldman for the Dept. of Agriculture, and Mr. Clelan, cheese - maker at the Blyth plant both stressed the need for the production of the best possible quality om milk. Equipment helps to achieve this but care must be taken at all times or low quality milk results. Zone representative Martin — Please turn to page 10 ssisea, !. tails .

Report '61 deficit Auditor's report filed by A. Ms Harper and Co. shows the township had a deficit in 1961 operations of $1,126.99. The school area board had a surplus of $2,460 and SS No, 2 a deficit of $14.52 on the year's business, Council postponed approval of the report pending a claris tication of estimates on the amount of road subsidy due from the province, which could change the picture Following a request. from Fred Walker, owner of the Oakwood Inn and Golf Course, Stephen Township decided Tues- day to send a resolution to the department of highways re- questing a reduced speed limit on No. 21 highway for one-half mile north of the Grand. Bend village limits, In a letter to council, Walker stated he had not asked other residents in the area to sign a petition but he had contacted them all and they were in agreement with the move, He pointed out that such a request had to come from a municipal body rather than in- dividuals before it would be considered by the department.

This is an increase of nearly 15 bushels per acre over the previous ten year average. In spite of the high yields in 1961 some field. crops special- ists with the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture feel it is possible that farmers can raise their corn yield. They say these may help: • Corn requires good, well- drained soil. Shallow, poorly- drained soil should be kept in sod. • Plow under a good sod for corn. A heavy alfalfa sod will supply up to 100 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre for corn. A grass sod with little or no legumes present will supply very little nitrogen. Plowing under corn stalks will rob- the soil of nitrogen. This means adding extra nitrogen if you grow corn on corn. • Prepare a good seedbed, but don't work the field any more than necessary. A pow- dery seedbed may cement over with heavy rains. This forms a crust over the roots, and prevents penetration of air and soil and reduces yields. • Select a d as) t e. el. hybrid varieties. Don't stretch the season, but choose a variety that will. mature every year. Pick hybrids suited to your area. from "1961 Ontario Hybrid C o 1' n, Performance Trials", available at your Agricultural Representative's Office. • Fertilizer requirements are best determined by soil testing, A band. application of 200 pounds of 8.16-16 or the equiva- tent is always needed. Take precautions to place the fer- tilizer two inches below and two incites to the side of the seed, Additional fertilizer, to bring the total applied up to about 500 pounds of 8-16-16 per acres Should be bulk spread in the spring or plowed down in the falls Extra nitrogen may be required for top yields on some (arms, but you get the best recommendation front a soil teat.

Decided to hold their coun- cil meetings from April to Oc- tober on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. • Plant the corn thick, To produce high. yields and use up all the fertilizer you apply, a. corn plant population of 14,000 to 18,000 plants per acre is necessary. For 40-inch rows, adjust the planter to drop ker- nels every 91/2 inches (14,000 plants) to 71/2 inches (18,000 plants). • Plant corn slowly. The optimum tractor speed is three m.p,h. and the maximum is four m.p.h. It takes time for the kernel to go through the planting mechanism. At high planting speeds the kernels may hit the soil below the shoe and bounce back. This causes uneven stands and poorer yields. • Control weeds. Chemical sprays like atrazine can re- place cultivation, if you use the ov er a 11 application, Band spraying with atrazine or 2,4-D Temptation may be strong, but it seldom overtakes the man who runs from it, Huron hog Preducers, reflect- ing the trend evident at their meeting two weeks ago, showed clearly in Tuesday's vote they want to retain their compulsory marketing program. Marketing board supporters scored a clean sweep, winning every one of the 19 committee- men seats in Huron's election. The decisive nature of the verdict is indicated by the fact that the winner of the 19th seat, Harry Mulvey, polled over 50Sr, more votes than the. leader of the free enterprise men, Charles Coultes. All of the board supporters received 725 votes or more. The highest, free enterprise man, Mr. Coultes, polled 460, McKillop man tops At the top of the polls was George R, Campbell, McKillop, a former free enterprise man who now supports compulsory marketing, Actually, Mr. Camp- bell's name appeared on both the marketing board support- ers' list and the free enter- prise list but he confirmed Wednesday he is a supporter of the compulsory program. Mr, Campbell was one of the leer free enterprise men who were elected last y g4r, None of the other three, one of which was Mr. Coulter, was returned this year, Campbell led the polls with a- head .49s.17 of the rnsegcrOendTlance1Wwiti-- nsmerahRobert P.

The 12 free enterprise candi- dates received between 200 and .300 votes, while the board sup- porters won 330 to 391 votes. A total of 707 producers voted at four polls, a big increase over the 1961 election when the free enterprise producers did not: challenge the board men.
