The Act has been amended to provide for a maximum loan of $140,000 to any farmer alone or jointly with others in a single farming operatien. The amount of loan will still be governed by the size and repayment capability of the individual farm. At the same time, a farmer need no longer be 21 years of age to receive a Farm Credit Cor- poration loan, The Act has been amended to make the minimum age at which a farmer can have not progresjed well -doe to cold, wet weather — unless we have a frost free late season, returns will be very poor.

T-A photo Sponsored by NFU The pea pack in this area at the Exeter plant of Canadian Can- ners is much better than in some districts of Western Ontario. A recent edition of the Can Crop Newsletter reports green peas in Kent, Essex, Elgin and Norfolk were hurt by the June 11 frost and yields will be reduced. Also, a side effect of cold weather has caused peas to split during processing ^ creating further problems. Exeter plant manager Jack Urquhart says there has been no sign of splitting in the Exeter area and although the early yields were a bit lower than usual exceptional prospects for the late crop should produce at least an over-all average yield. The report from the four southern counties said chairman W. Collins of the Ontario Vegetable Growers Marketing Board was disheartened by the frost damage, especially to corn. Collins said, "The damage to sweet corn is impossible to assess, even crops replanted • Agriculture. Minister H.A. (Bud) Olson announced recently that Bill C-5, to amend the Farm Credit Corporation Act, has received Royal Assent. The changes will make it easier for certain farmers to borrow money from the corporation. The amendment will also enable the corporation to carry out duties or functions that may be assigned to it under ether agricultural programs such as the Small Farms Development Program, The most significant changes for individual borrowers are: — an increase in the loan ceiling for individual operators. —removal of the minimum age of gi years as qualification for a loan. — restrictions of loans to Canadian citizens or landed immigrants. The loan limits for individual farmers, set in 1964, had created a problem for some farmers, particularly those attempting to improve their buildings, machinery and other facilities. These limits were related to the receive a corporation loan consistent with provincial legislation governing the age at which persona may contract for mortgage loans. This change will give greater flexibility to a farmer who wants to transfer a farm to his son or other relative, or where they are setting up joint ownership. Another amendment allows the corporation to borrow an ad- ditional $250,000,000 to provide for future lending operations. Farm Credit Corporation loans may now be made only to Canadian citizens or those in- tending to make their permanent home in Canada. In the past, the corporation was not restricted by legislation in making loans to aliens. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 1972, the corporation ap- proved 4,035 loans totalling $114,715,849. This was similar to the number and amount of loans made in 1970-71. The corporation now has about 69,000 borrowers. The principal outstanding in loans totals about $1.2 billion, LISTINGS IN YOUR AREA URGENTLY NEEDED W estern youth visit including the Honourable H. A.

Ninety degree temperatures did not wilt the enthusiasm of the twenty young men and women who arrived to spend 10 days in District 5. Local 317 is presently hosting five of the N.F.U. youth front Alberta and British Columbia. With the assistance of a $100,000 grant from the Secretary of State, 300 young people from across Canada are involved in the program. "Only by gaining such in- valuable knowledge can farmers solve the many problems which face them today. Better un- derstanding of what is happening across our nation will help us propose viable solutions benefiting all agricultural groups," suggested Mary Klatt, N,F,U. member from the Peace River district, Alberta. On the return trip home, all the participants will meet in Win- nipeg, for a three day seminar during which they will share their views with each other and several ministers of agriculture, Beef grading system gets good comments Our records show that our listings in your area sell quickly.

The strike by Ontario Hydro workers is costing farmers thousands of dollars. Some rural areas have suffered power cuts of up to 48 hours. Hundreds of chickens suffocated when electric fans failed. Dairy cows stood unmilked for hours as farmers awaited power. Ontario Hydro, sole supplier of electricity in Ontario, is coming under increasing criticism from farmers as the strike continues. Gordon Hill, president, of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture calls the situation "A disgrace," "Ontario Hydro has no right to treat farmers like pawns," he said in Toronto recently. "We must be guaranteed a dependable supply of power. This respon- sibility must take priority over labour squabbles," manager of C,C,A, "But more than that it represents what can be ac- complished when producers, packers, retailers, consumers, research scientists, and the federal grading service work together to devise a grading system which will be a benefit to all." W. J. Hyman Realtor 544 Dundas St. London of A reaches member targ et The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has reached its target membership for 1972. Federation president, Gordon Hill reported that his farm organization now has just over 11,000 members. There were 7,500 members in June 1971. "We were very optimistic when we set our 1972 goal at 11,000 members," Mr. Hill said in Toronto Wednesday. "We weren't entirely sure we could reach it,' But response to our program has been fantastic. Ontario farmers more than ever before, feel they must get organized. Credit must also go to those workers whose effort and enthusiasm have brought this about." Mr. Hill said the federation had proved its abilities as a far- mers' organization. "We have won significant victories for farmers — cheaper truck licences, expanded capital grants, reduced property tax burden — and more farmers are recognizing this." "But we still have a way to go," Mr. Hill admitted. The federation needs more members, We cannot claim to represent all Ontario farmers until all farmers have joined the federation." Miiii*MEMMERAMSNaligen `DEMAND' ONE WAY OR THE OTHER* FOR lir BITER INHEIIIT Reaction to the new beef- grading system introduced recently has been favorable in Canada to date. The ' Canadian Cattlemen's Association welcomed the new system. "Our long-sought goal of a more accurate and modern grading system is about to be realized," said George Morris of Merlin, Ontario, the vice-1- president of the Association and a long-time advocate of an im- proved grading system. "This is a tremendous ac- complishment for the C.C.A." said Eion Chisholm of Okotoks, Alberta. "For revised grading standards have been one of the most important projects yet undertaken by the C.C.A." Basically the system in- troduces a more precise system of measurement for quality and quantity of beef in a carcass. The quality grading will be more precise because the car- casses will be knife-ribbed to permit the grader to appraise a cross-section of lean meat. The quantity measurements will improve because research has indicated a close correlation between the thickness of fat at the 11th rib and the percentage of lean meat content in the entire carcass. Graders will measure the fat thickness to one tenth on an inch and classify the carcass into the appropriate fat level within the quality grade. The new grade standards are primarily the result of efforts of the C.C.A. and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture that I" asp in September of 1966 with a jointly sponsored beef industry conference held in Winnipeg. Since that time, a joint corn- mitteee of the C.C.A. C.F.A. has held innumerable meetings with various industry groups with the result that in October 1971, a joint proposal supported as well by the Meat Packers Council of Canada was presented to the Canada Department of Agriculture for implementation. "This is the producers' grade standard," said Charles Gracey, The only systemic seed treatment for • Smut control • Seedling emergence vitaclo MiriTizes crop loss by building stronger plants Obtain better snow cover for winter protection Vitac10 is safe to handle intan 0 treated seed is the best cropinsurance you can get Cliff Russell MINIM UNIROYAL Helping Nature Work tor you UNIROYAL CHEMICAL DIVISION OF UNIROYAL LTD. tUmeA, ONTArtio, CANADA *you can take your own seed to be treated cot buy seed already treated R.R. 2 DASHWOOD, ONT.
