Winter wheat board takes look at exports Isalillefl•Iowelaserfelvelleireellivewew Calling of a federal election before the announcement of the government's anticipated sugar beet policy could be a "bad break" for the beet industry in Ontario, says Lloyd Lovell, president of the district beet growers' association. "We were expecting the an- nouncement any time," he told The Times-Advocate thisweek. "We should have had it earlier but the gov't sent the figures back for review." "Now we don't know what to expect, We may even lope all that we have gained in the last two years." Ontario's hog producers came in for some warm praise at the marketing and co-opera- tion conference in Guelph recently. During a discussion on farm-controlled marketing, A. ILK. Musgrave, president of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture, said that the hog mar- keting board was "doing a splendid job" in the field of producer marketing. Mr. Musgrave said hog pro- ducers know where they are going and are making full use of their organization, Earlier in the discussion the OFA pre- sident criticised a lot of On- tario farmers and farm orga- nizations for fighting amongst themselves. However, he made a special point of excluding hog producers from these re- marks. "Unfortunately," Mr. Mus- grave said, "the Ontario hog producers are one of file few farm groups in Ontario who are efficiently and effectively using their organization to the utmost. . . ,to improve con- ditions for the farmers. TELL FROM WALK G.B. Phillips, pork produc- tion specialist at Auburn Uni- versity in the U.S., says you can tell by the way a pig walks whether he is a good pig. A pig's walk tells a lot about his quality, whether he's a Study aid for needy "The industry in Ontario is on its last legs," Lovell ex- plained. "If the sugar price stays up, that may automatically take care of the situatioa. I think it will stay up but there's nothing to protect the farmer if the price suddenly drops. "That's what the sugar beet policy was for—it would have protected the farmer against serious loss and Would have permitted growers to make plans for 1963 crops and al- lowed them to invest in equip- ment with some security. With- out the guarantee, it's doubtful if many will risk the invest- meat-type or a lard-type. If a pig just meanders or lazes around, the farmer had better look elsewhere for qua- lity, Mr. Phillips advises. If a pig shakes when he walks, like a bowl full of jelly, it isn't just because he's jolly. He's soft, wasty, and flabby -- a lard-type rather than ameat- type. Mr. Phillips goes on to say that a good quality hog is alert and walks as if he is proud of himself. The desirable meat hog doesn't waggle him hams. He picks up his feet and puts them down with care. Can't use ARDA here, says forum In discussing ARDA (the Ag- ricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act) farm forum members in this area felt they did not qualify for assistance from ARDA because "we live in a fertile area and have little or no waste land." Fairfield forum members no- ted in this district that the Ausable River Conservation Authority is organized for re- forestation, conservation and recreation. In the case of tile drainage some help may be secured from the to wn ship council. The forum met at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Elliott with 21 present. Mr. and Mrs. William Schroeder will be hosts next Monday night. ment," MEETS WEST GROWERS Lovell, who recently return- ed from the annual meeting of the Canadian Sugar Beet Grow- ers' Association in Winnipeg, reports western growers aren't as advanced in some phases of production as their Ontario counterparts. "We in this area areas much up-to-date as anyone, both from the standpoint of mechanization and chemical weed control." He said growers there were quite interested in the herbi- cides being used here and in the harvesting machinery now being used. Their yield is lower too, In Manitoba, the average was 10 tons to the acre; in Alberta, with irrigation. its's 12 to 13 tons. Ontario's record croplast year averaged 18.1 tons. "They are ahead of us, though, in size of operation," the Kipper; area farmer report- ed, "They have crops as big as 400 acres and they're using larger equipment. Where we use a four-row planter, they use a 12-row machine." Growers attended from both Quebec and Ontario, as well as the two Western provinces. Lo- vell was an alternate delegate from Ontario. "We sat in on the annual meeting of the Manitoba Sugar Beet Growers' Association, which was quite lively and at- tracted a crowd of between 400 and 500. The highlight was the after dinner speaker who had covered the European Common Market for the past six months. "Before leaving, we were taken on a tour of the plant buildings which are new, and the administrative building s modern in every respect. "Manitoba has recently been given an award for its most outstanding planning and de- velopment program,"' L ov ell reported. "This is the first time the award has left the "Our stay in Winnipeg was made most enjoyable by the hospitality of the Manitoba sugar beet growers." Mr. Lovell noted that Wed., Mar. 6, has been set aside as sugar beet day during farmers' week in Chatham, He urged area growers to attend, An extensive probe into pro- blem areas of markets for On- tario winter wheat will be made during the next few months by the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board. Apparent lack of interest on the part of overseas millers in recent month s has brought mounting concern among direc- tors of the marketing board. This is due to the fact that the board's stabilization pro- gram has been dependent upon export sales for disposal of about one and one half million bushels each year. Marketing board chairman, Roy Coulter of Campbellville, said following a board meeting held in Toronto February '7that in addition to studies being conducted to determine the fu- ture possibilities of continued exports to markets such as Great Britain and expansion into other overseas markets, work is also being aimed at increased consumption within the domestic market, Mr. Coulter said that the board's secretary-manager, K.

It is also hoped, the board chairman said, that through such studies, information may be obtained as to the actual requirements of overseas mil- lers regarding quality, charac- teristics, protein levels and whether present Ontario wheat varieties meet With the require- ments. Mr. Coulter advised that in line with the quality and variety aspect, Peter MacKinnon, board director from Bath, reported at the board meeting that at the recent winter wheat improve- ment annual meeting it was learned that OAC, Guelph, will now be doing all plant breeding research for the province. He pointed out that emphasis is on new varieties having short, strong straw. The report also advised that a new variety, Talbot, a soft white winter wheat having straw shorter than the present popular Genesee variety, has shown promise and that about 4,000 bushels of seed will be avail- able for 1963 planting.
