In ad- dition to a higher price per pound for the carcass, he must trim some of the external fat in order 'to make the cuts more saleable. His customers want to buy lean cuts of palatable beef. The meat packing plant, in turn, will pay the livestock pro- ducer more for moderately well finished cattle that will grade Good or Choice. However, nei- ther the packer nor the re- tailer want very fat cattle be- cause more fat must be trim. mad, and this excess does not contribute to the eating quality of the meat. It costs the cattle producer much more to feed for fatten- ing than for production of lean. Some cattle, particularly those of dairy breeding, do not depo- sit fat as readily as others. It doesn't pay the producer to try to finish this type of cattle. The beef breeds have been devel- oped over the years to deposit fat most efficiently. To produce the best eating beef most eco- nomically, the feeder of beef cattle must judge the time for marketing accurately to insure enough fat covering, but not too much. Overfat, wasty cattle are not worth as much to the pack- ing plant or the retailer, re- minds Dr. Ingram. Some fat is needed on beef cattle in order to supply con- sumers with palatable meat. Consumers like tender, juicy, and flavorful beef, and there is no substitute for fat, in moder- ate amounts, to produce this kind of product. The most dangerous spot or the highway is where you take your eyes off the road.

This award is made to the person having the highest complete score in the Huron County Seed and Live Stock judging competitions. Mr. Fotheringham has always been active in 4-H programs serving a§ a 4-H leader this year. He also is president of the Sea- forth Junior 'Partners, Most farm implements are in use for only a few weeks each year, but rust and corrosion are at work the year round. A large portion of the cost of repairing farm implements and machines can be attributed to rusting. For example, unpro- tected moldboard plow bottoms can incur more wear from a year of rusting than from an entire season of use, says Dr. K, Bilanski of the Engineer- ing department at the Ontario Agricultural C o 11 e g e. Rust- proofing them for even short pe- riods of storage pays. Therefore, after each period of use, and before the implement is put away for storage, be sure that all mud, grass and other dirt is removed, since rust is likely to form under such a layer. After you have cleaned the implement, touch up paint wherever necessary and spray each part likely to be affected by rust with a light waxy coat- ing, using one of the modern rust-preventatives now avail- able. Then store the implement in a Weather-proof shelter that is also dry and well ventilated. Protecting your farm imple- ments from moisture is impdt- ant because corrosion or "rust- ing" is a chemical reaction which takes place between me- tal and oxygen in water, and re- stilts in the formation of a met- allic oxide commonly known as rust, :Rust-preventatives operate by sealing the metal from con- tact with the atmosphere._ A film that can be readily ap- plied with either a fly spray, hand gun, or low pressure air- 4-H club tours youths' farms By JEFF DIETRICH Last meeting of the year for the Zurich 4-H Tractor Main- tenance Club was in the form of a tour, under the direction of Don Grieves, assistant ag rep, and Torn Brown, engineer- ing specialist from Stratford, who provided transportation for the group. The club assembled at the Township Hall at 7 o'clock on Tuesday, August 21, then pro- ceeded to each member's home farm, where the boys were re- quired to demonstrate their tractors and explain the type of work they did with them. Achievement Day will be held Sept. 24 at the Zurich Fair Grounds. line type gun, will keep rust from forming even while the machine is left out-doors for pro- longed periods of time. Also when you apply the rust-preven- tative over non-flaky, thin coats of rust, it penetrates and loos- ens the rust, thereby assisting in its removal as well as pre- venting further rusting. So it's a good idea to keep spray gun, or whatever device you choose to use always full of the com- pound and in a convenient place. This will facilitate fre- quent re-applications of the rust-preventative to any area on the implement where the protective film may have been broken through use or weather- ing. Although you may use several different substances such as paint, oil, and grease as rust- preventatives, the modern pet- rochemical wax-base rust-pre- ventatives are far superior in their ability to prevent rust for- mation, and also to, stop any rusting action already in pro- gress. These compounds may be purchased from any reputable oil company dealer. The small amount of time and effort required for rust preven- tion can save you money in lon- ger service, easier operation, and greater resale value for your farm machinery reminds, Dr, Bilanski. Since 1919 federal spending through the Department of National Health and Welfare has increased Irani $360 Mil- lion to $1.8 billion, The question is often raised by both consumer and livestock producers, do we need fat on our beef? The answer is "Yes, we do need some fat but not a lot of fat on our beef", according to Dr. .R. H. Ingram of the Onta- rio Agricultural. College's meat laboratory. The amount of fat necessary for greatest palatability of beef depends to some extent on the cooking method, In cooking pot roasts, swiss steak, or stew, only a small amount of fat is desir- able. But when cooking a roast in an open pan in a dry oven, or broiling steaks, a moderate amount of fat is necesary for a juicy and flavorful product, It has been proven by con- trolled research that a moder- ate amount of fat is necessary to preserve and protect the meat while it hangs in the cooler to tenderize for about ten days. During this process, called "aging", some flavor develop- ment occurs, as well as the tenderizing, It has also been demonstrated by taste panels that beef with some fat mixed through the lean, called "marbling" is juicier than umnarblecl beef. Also, a moderate amount of this fat mixed through the lean tends to improve the flavor of the lean. So, even if we trim the visible fat from the lean on our plate, the contribution made by the fat is still there, in the lean for us to enjoy. The meat manager at the re- tail store knows this, that is why he prefers to buy for his customers the moderately fat- ter carcasses in the Canada Seed Wheat Fertilizer By DAN FAIRBAIRN It's over a month since there has been any news from the On- tario Provisional Milk Produc. ers Marketing Board, and then we beard only that it had held a meeting. We suggested in the column some time ago that the board 'lay it on the line' but they have not even uttered an official sound. We know this is the busy season on the farm but there is some urgency about getting on with the development of a plan since producers in this province were only given. till. next May to 'tidy their house' before the "ecleral government takes some fairly drastic action to reduce nu-pluses. This may be news to some iroducers, but it certainly is nothing new to their leaders who rushed down to Ottawa By MRS. FLORENCE ELLIOTT Federation Secretary Feed grain freight assistance is a very controversial subject with many farmers in favor of the continuance of the freight assistance in Western feed grain, and others opposed to it. At a recent meeting of the Huron County Federation of Ag- riculture Directors a vote was taken on this subject and the result was a tie, At a recent meeting of the members of the Federation of Agriculture held in Toronto, Herbert Arbuckle, secretary of the Ontario Federation, ex- plained and gave reasons for having the freight assistance. The purpose of having it was to equalize feeding costs between eastern and western Canada. Ontario farmers benefit to the amount of $5,000,000 as a result of the $5,00 a ton freight assist- ance. Ontario farmers produce about 80% of their feed grain requirements. Quebec farmers benefit to the amount of $7,800,000. They pro- duce only 50% of their feed grain requirements and since they are a greater distance from. the west they are subsidized $7,50 per ton. New Brunswick farmers are subsidized to the amount of $1,000,000. Nova Scotia farmers are sub- sidized to the amount of $2,000,000. Prince Edward Island Farm- ers receive S15.00 per ton freight assistance for a total of $235,000. British Columbia farmers are ...absidized to the amount of $2,000,000.

Since then the producers' provisional board has announced a proposed overall milk marketing plan, but apparently little has been done to acquaint producers with it. We have had an opportunity to talk to a lot of milk produc- ers at the CNE, both at the dairy shows and the Dairy Prin- cess competition where your columnist acts as host. There is an obvious and general lack of knowledge about the proposed plan, but also a genuine inter- est in it. The provisional board shmild take advantage of this interest — they should take immediate Huron county crop report By D. G. GRIEVE Associate Ag Rep Grain harvest progressed very well during the past week tin- der favorable weather condi- tions. However, there is still considerable grain to be har- vested in the north end of the county. A few early fields of white beans have been pulled. Harvest of the sweet corn club will likely commence this week, Will Blue Boy win at State Fair? steps to instigate a complete inn formation program. In fart, since we are being critical, let's be frank and say they should have done it long ago. The board has not met since the last week of July, and at this writing there is no date de- cided for their next meeting, ex- cept that 3 may be the end of the first week of September, There lend been talk of a vote this fall, but the board surely knows it would require at least three months to put together the machinery for such a vote and much longer to organize and execute any plan to assure that every milk producer in the province knew what he was vot- ing on. Spring would appear to be the earliest possible time for a vote which will give the board very little opportunity to ac- complish anything before the next federal dairy year, which begins May 1st, 1963, This is a producer plan—they have made this very plain — and the government has also made it clear that agricultural department officials have had no hand in its formation, other than providing technical and le- al advice and assistance when requested. It will be up to the producer organizations to tell their members about it and to come out. strongly in favor of it if they want any vote to approve it, What are the alternatives to this marketing plan? Without an overall plan, most producer leaders see chaos. Certainly, current surpluses will either have to be curbed or the econo- mic structure of the dairy in- dustry will collapse, It's doubt- ful that any federal government will continue assistance to pro- ducers at present levels unless the producers show some signs of helping themelves. So, on the one hand there is chaos and/or drastic federal action as one alternative. The other is pro- vincial legislation without pro- ducer participation. Is there much choice? Today's tidbit: In the Toronto milkshed in the last eight years, milk production has increased 405 (over 200 million lbs. per year), while the number of pro- ducers has declined 28% (from 3995 to 2838).
