"Had this been the second increase it would still be quite nominal, compared to the cost of production burden the producer has had to bear." He said he believed the time has come when returns to producers must be based on regular pre-arranged increases according to cost of production and net profit ratio, without interrerence of the government commissions. Mr. Miller said the OFU, in a letter to Premier Robarts, had strongly protested the interference of the Ontario Milk Commission with the OMMB attempts, May 1st. At that time the Commission ruled in favour of processors who appealed the 6 cent per cwt. raise. The Ontario Milk Commission is a government body responsible for policing the Milk Act. N "Farmers should not be expected to subsidize inefficient processing plants just so they Can stay in business," he said. Corn pushed in Britain An old Canadian standby is moving into the swinging British scene. Sweet corn, long a favorite on this side of the Atlantic, is being given an enthusiastic promotional push in Britain. The Information Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food has produced a 14-minute full-color film "Color Me Golden", which tells the story of corn from seeding to harvest, processing to serving. The film was featured at the June 26 opening of the Ontario Food Centre, Ontario House, London, England, headquarters for a market development project for promotion of Ontario sweet corn products. In 1968, British consumption of frozen and canned Ontario corn reached a high of nearly 15,000,000 pounds. "Color Me Golden" was produced by Bill Connell of the Information Branch, and is available from the Film Library, Information Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, Guelph. By MRS. FRANK SQUIRE Rob Morley had the misfortune to break his left arm last Monday due to a fall from a High yields for canning crops Despite the recent surge of dry weather, Jack Urquhart, manager of the Exeter plant of Canadian Canners reports on above average yield on the pea pack to date. Urquhart added, "Although the dry weather has not done any damage to date we need rain badly within the next week. During the past week you could almost see the corn "jumping" but it also needs some additional moisture." The local manager also said there has been no problem to date with any plant diseases in canning crops but spraying was commencing for corn borer, a usual practice. The pea pack now about one-third completed is expected to continue until August 20. All canning crops are about one week behind in growth due to the dry weather. Urquhart said a few fields in the outlying areas had received rain in the past week and were showing exceptional growth. Howard Scane, manager of the W. G. Thompson and Sons mill in Hensall said Wednesday morning said the stand of beans in the district is excellent. "Mind you, we need some rain within the next week or so, but I don't think I have ever seen a better overall picture for beans in Huron County," added Scane. Should check hay mows Did your hay go into the barn a little tough this year? If so, it would be wise to check it at least twice a week for the next month, to ensure that it is not heating. Fire from spontaneous combustion usually occurs during the first two months after storage. Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, says that an easy way to check the temperature is to make a hay probe from a ten foot length of half inch electrical conduit or tubing. You can then rivet a sharpened hardwood point to the bottom end of this tube and drill six holes of three-eights inch diameter within the bottom six inches. Now lower a veterinarian's rectal thermometer on a twelve foot cord to the bottom of the completed hay probe, and you are ready to take the temperature of your hay. A piece of sponge rubber should be used at the bottom of the tube to act as a cushion and prevent the thermometer from breaking. Push the probe well down into the hay and leave for ten minutes. Pull out the thermometer and note the temperature. Watch for the following temperature sign posts: 150 degrees F entering the danger zone. Make temperature observations daily. 160 degrees F. Danger! Inspect every four hours to see if temperature is rising. 175 degrees F. Fire pockets may be anticipated. Call the fire department pumper and wet down hay, 185 degrees F. Remove the hay. The pumper should be available since flames will develop when air comes in contact with the hay. 210 degrees F. Critical! Hay is almost sure to ignite. CAUTION: Workmen should not enter alone, or without ropes tied to their waists, since fire pockets may have developed and there is danger of the men falling into them. Long planks may be placed across the top of the hay for workmen to stand ofi while making observations or removing the hay.
