Another Hidden Cost!
It may cost you over $20.00 a year to keep one rat well-fed.
This may not seem like much, but multiply it at the same rate
rats multiply and soon you're into big money.
Cut these costs with a trio of CO.OP cost cutters! Effective CO-OP
rodenticides will help keep these rodents under control. Choose
ready-to-use CO-OP Rat Killer, in meal
or pellet form complete with plastic
bait stations, or CO-OP Water Soluble
Rat and Mouse Killer, to get rats and
mice through their water supply.
The "secret Weapon" in all CO-OP
rodenticides is either Of two proven
chernleals pindone (Pival) or War-
farin. Both are anti-coagulants, and

"The President of Dominion
Stores is just searching for a
scapegoat," Gordon H111,
President of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture said
today. He was replying to
criticisms made by Mr. T. G.
McCormack, President of
Dominion Stores Limited.
Mr. McCorinack reportedly
wants producer marketing boards
abolished because he says, they
act against the interests of the
consumer.
"I am not at all convinced by
Mr. McCormack's apparent
concern for the welfare of
consumers," Mr. Hill said in an
interview." Past epxerience leads
me to believe that he is not really
concerned about providing
consumers with cheap food,
except to increase his volume.
He's more concerned about his
profit margin, and probably
realizes that marketing boards
prevent food chains from gouging
farmers.
"I say that with some
justification," continued Mr. Hill.
"Two years ago at a marketing
conference at Geneva Park, chain
store officials said that they
considered it important that
farmers use their marketing
boards to regulate the flow of
farm produce. They said that
farmers should adopt supply
management to maintain a steady
supply of quality products. They
said that price was not the main
consideration.
"Now, at a time when chain
stores are waging war on each
other, Mr. McCormack attempts
to take the heat off them, and put
it on farmers. He is trying to make
farmers and their marketing
boards the scape-goat.
"It won't work, and it won't
work for two reasons. Firstly, Mr.
McCormack can't seriously
believe that consumers believe in
a free-market system. Consumers
must notice interference with the
production and distribution of
practically all other products
gasoline, hydro, automobiles and
other manufactured goods. The
manufacturers of these products
apparently don't intend to drop
their marketing plans; nor do
farmers.
"Secondly, there's the matter
Warble fly treatment of beef
and dairy cattle systemic
insecticides should be
undertaken before November
30, says R.W. Murray, Beef
Cattle Specialist with the Live
Stock Branch, Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food. Treatment after
November 30 must be done
under the supervision of a
veterinarian since there are
specific limitations pertaining to
the use of systemics on dairy
cattle in production or about to
freshen, and in respect to cattle
before slaughter.
Systemic insecticides are
absorbed through the skin and
into the animal's system. At the
recommended levels, these
products do not cause any harm,
but kill the warble grubs while
they are small and before serious
damage has occurred. The
proper time for application is
after the activity of the warble
fly has ceased, but before the
warble grub has reached the
back.
Systemic insecticides are
available both as a pour-on and a
spray. Level of treatment
depends on body size, and care
should be taken in estimating
the body weight. Estimating on
the light side rather than the
heavy side is advisable.
Treatment with systemic
insecticides must be done with
cattle squeezed into a small area,
preferably a chute, so that very
little movement is possible
during application, When applied
of income 'for farmers, Mr.
McCormack completely ignores
the need of farmers for a decent
standard of living. He apparently
believes that farmers should
sacrifice themselves and their
capital for consumers. I don't
think consumers expect farmers
to sell food at less than cost.
Farmers want adequate returns,
as does Dominion Stores."
as a spray, care must be taken to
avoid contact with the face of
the animal, as damage to the
eyes may result. When applied as
a pour-on, gloves should be
worn,
Before starting treatment
with a systemic insecticide, be
sure to read the label carefully,
and follow the manufacturer's
directions.
Because the rate of
application varies according to
the size of cattle, the cost per
head for the systemic material
will vary. In general the cost will
be between 25c and 50c per
animal.
'Possible side effects are the
general reactions to systemic
insecticides, such as rapid
breathing, slight bloat or
muscular stiffness, In severe
cases cattle will go down.
Treatment of these reactions
should be done by a
veterinarian. If treatment is prop-
erly applied reactions will be
few and of a minor nature.
Warble fly control pays real
dividends. Money spent on grub
control must be viewed as an in-
vestment. Use of a systemic
insecticide should give a,
minimum return of about $5 for
every $1 invested where warble
flies are a problem.
While complete elimination
of the warble fly is improbable,
almost complete elimination of
the economic loss can be quite
easily attained through the use
of systemic insecticides.
Local 317 Of the National
Farmers Union held an
informative meeting on the Task
Force Plan, Monday afternoon at
the Dash wood Community
Centre with acrowd of interested
farmers in. attendance,.
Mr. Blake Sanford, Regional
Director for Ontario in the
was the guest speaker, Mr,
Sanford explained bow the Task
Force Plan was prepared by
people who were not for the
interest of farmers, Many
suggestions in this plan are to take
away the freedom from all
farmere, and to them it is
desirable to eliminate 2/3 of the
farmers from their farms.
They plan to cut down food
production while an unbelievable
percentage of the population are
starving, Mr, Sanford stated,
"Does this make sense?"
"Farmers need not look for
high prices for their products if
the Task Force Plan suggestions
go into effect," added the guest
speaker.
Farmers must be informed
