Atrazine, says the crop products department manager of United Co,-operatives of Ontario, Don Moffatt. tip shop early for these items," he warns Ontario farm- et a• Last year's late Spring forced Eastern Canadian seed oat pro- ducers to switch from Rodney to Garry oats. Since Eastern canada is pow the chief source of seed pats for Ontario, and seed oats shrunk as much as 40 percent in processing this year, certified Rodney oats will be in short supply. There is, an ade- quate supply of other seeds. The poor corn harvesting seas- on is responsible for the likely pressure on fertilizer supplies. With almost no Fall plowing — and little fertilizer plowdown — in Ontario and much of the U.S. cornbelt, Don foresees an un- precendental Spring demand. The closings of three Ontario plants, unexpected low produc- tion from the Valleyfield phos- phate plant in Quebec, and the adverse effect of poor returns on bulk warehouse expansion, have cut into plant capacity. On- tario plants, committed to supply the early U.S. market to spread out business, will be taxed to the limit. Subsequently, the Ontario fer- tilizer industry will be facing local demand (which peaks four weeks after U.S. demand) with reduced inventories. The use of Atrazine for elimin- ating weeds in the corn field has increased along with the know- ledge that it does an effective job. Unfortunately, it is a Swiss developed proprietary chemical Sugar beets are uncertain. "Whatever is done, must be done in a hurry!" That was the comment of Lloyd Lovell, Exeter, who r eturned from Ottawa Monday evening after being involved in discus- sions regarding the closing of the Chatham plant of the Canada & Dominion Sugar Refinery. Mr. Lovell is vice-president of the Ontario Sugar Beet Mark- eting Board and sat in on discus- sions with other board members along with federal agriculture minister J. J. Greene, Ontario agriculture minister W. A. Stew- art, Sid Williams of the Stabiliz- ation Board and C & D Sugar Co. representatives. At the Monday meeting, the company announced they would not change their decision to close the Chatham plant. Sever al alternative sugges- tions were presented to the meet- ing and it was recommended that the Ontario government put the refinery under trusteeship and operate it. This proposal is presently be- fore the Ontario government, but no decision has been reached as yet. Mr. Lovell pointed out time is running out on negotiations as farmers will have to know within two weeks — or three at the most whether they will be able to grow sugar beets this year.
