PI LOWER YOUR CORN HARVESTING and STORAGE COSTS OLD-TIME PLOWING — The oldest tractor competing in last week's Huron County plowing match near Carlow was operated by a couple of Grand Bend men, Shown with the 1928 John Deere are Allan Hayter and Allan Walper. T-A photo White bean crop and prices could reach all-time high • Continuous "straight-line" harvesting operation from stalk to storage. No trucking or wasted time. • Store without drying or air sealing using low-cost storage. • Profit from the many benefits of high-moisture feed without a large investment. • Costs about the same per bushel as drying. Cap- ital investment under $700. A The white bean crop in Ontario this year is expected to hit an all- time high in all respects. Charles Broadwell, manager of the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board said Wed- nesday afternoon that records should be hit in total quantity, average yield and average price to the farmer. West oral', act would affect corn District 6, Ontario region of the National Farmers Union has been following closely the efforts of the federal government to pass Bill C-244, Prairie Grain Stabilization Act without the changes necessary to be of some value to farmers. According to Robert King, director of district 6, the bill in this presented form, if thrust upon western farmers would again affect Ontario farmers in the form of lower corn prices and production, increased western livestock. The 1970 L.I.F.T. program on Western Canadian farmers has backlashed the Ontario corn growers into lower corn prices, says Robert King. The resulting increase in western livestock feeding has once again proven that cheap Grain means Cheap Livestock. Further ivory tower decisions were evident in Bill C-244, The NFU have been asking that Otto Lang, Minister in charge of the Wheat Board consult the farmers who will have to live with Government decisions. National Farmers Union had requested a meeting in Saskatoon and the Saskatchewan wheat pool were also prepared to send delegates. The final acceptance of the federal government to live up to previous legal commitments has come about. It is too bad that it took actual legal proceedings by four Saskatchewan farmers to straighten this out. Bill C-244 has now been scrapped. N.F.U. request still stands to meet the farmers on the prairie grain stabilization issue. and crop clean-up totalled 1,197,024 hundred weights. Broadwell said the cheques for final payment of the 1970 crop are expected to be mailed out on November 1 and will bring last year's complete price to $9.52. The estimate yield for the 1971 crop year for the 94,000 acres in the province of Ontario is 1,400,000 hundred weights. The Board manger said he received a revised estimate of the Michigan crop on Tuesday and the yield per acre was up 30 pounds from the original estimate of 1,000 pounds per acre, The Ontario yield is expected to hit 1,500 pounds per acre. Plan course for cattlemen On the basis of 1,114,800 hun- dred weights already sold, the average net return to the producer should be over $10 per hundred. Last year the total crop in- cluding domestic sales, exports Calves sell quickly at top notch prices The eighth annual cattlemen's short course and tour will be held from November 20 to 26 in the Guelph area, The animal science building at the University of Guelph will be the location of most of the short course. There will also be tours of beef production operations in the Guelph area, marketing and processing operations in the Toronto area and an excursion to Ottawa to meet some of the people involved in the agricultural policy-making processes. Huron's Age Rep Don Pullen told the T-A this week that the yields of white beans were above average. "I have heard of yields of up to 40 bushels per acre and many farmers talking in the 30- bushel range. The higher price this year is caused to a degree by a poor crop for the second consecutive year in Michigan, another prime white bean growing area, Dry weather with poor ger- mination and then a lot of wet weather caused the downfall of the Michigan crop again this year. Pullen said the white bean crop was one of the bright spots in agriculture in Huron this year although most crops turned out well. The local Ag Rep said the corn crop in the 'north of the county around Brussels and Wingham was "tremendous" with some farmers harvesting 100 bushels to the acre. 11111111111111111111111111,111 1 llllllll llllllllll sm11111411111t111, ttttttttttt ttttttttttttttttt 11111 tttttttt 1111111111111, ttttt 111111111111111011111111111111 tttttttt 11111111111111111111111111111 iiiiii 1111111111111111 iiiiiii The top price hid for feeders at the Parry Sound District Live Stock Co-Operative Association feeder sale, South River on Friday October 8, was $44,50 per cwt. for a pen of 8 Hereford steer calves, averaging 440 lbs. The Association was pleased to see the regular buyers back as well as many new ones. They came from Ridgetown, Elmira, 'Conn, in the west to Cobourg in the east and Matheson in the north. The 1069 head offered were sold quickly by auctioneer, Vern Shepherdson, New Liskeard, and by 2.30 p.m. the sale was com- pleted. The producers have been and are very conscious of quality and it was rewarding to hear the buyers commend the consignors on the quality of stock offered. The use of performance tested bulls and A.1. is showing its ef- fect. Prices were strong; the second top price, $44.25 for a pen of 21 Hereford steer calves averaging 410 lbs., was paid by Ivan Mielhausan, RR 1, Conn, who SHUR-GAIN beef production also purchased a similar lot of 23 head for $44,00.

Light weight heifers sold for $29, - $30. with a high of $30,75 for a pen of herefords purchased by Wm, Vancise, RR 4, Stayner. Heifer calves ranged from $32.50 to $35.00 with a high of $37.25 for a lot of 19 herefords purchased by Lewis Towns, Burks Falls. The Pen Competition for light and heavy steers and heifers sponsored by the local Beef Improvement Association proved of interest to all concerned. It did demonstrate value of quality uniform cattle. The two remaining Northern Feeder sales are Thursday October , 21st at South River where over 500 head have been consigned. These are mainly calves. The final Sale is at La Sarre (Dupuy) on Friday, October 22 when 1200 head will be offered.

Multiply this problem by the number of heifer in the lot and you will discover that this can be not only disturbing, but costly in terms of lowered rate-of-gain. Shur-Gain Heifer Feeding Trials have established that recommended levels of M.G.A. (Melengestrol Acetate) tested against D.E.S. (Diethylstilbestrol) showed over 5 % improvement in average weight gains and over 7 % in average feed efficiency—and, of course, had still greater advantages when compared with feeds Containing no hormone-type additives. Keep the heat turned oft in your feedlots with M.G.A./100 in your Shur-Gain Supplement. • management skills • growing animal health service 430 Main St, Leslie Vincent.
