Perhaps the first week in August. Armyworm populations are usually kept at a low level by parasites and predators, but every so many years, when conditions are particularly favourable for their develop- ment, they exceed their natural enemies and become an economic problem. The last major outbreak occurred in 1964 and a minor one developed in 1972. As of the week ending July 13, 1973 there have been two fields reported in the area where the level of armyworm has warranted spraying for control, There has been at least a dozen more grain fields where ar- myworm has been located. • The mature larva is about 11/2 inches long, nearly hairless, dark green or brown in colour. They feed mostly at night or on cool days. They feed on oats, corn, Farmers looking for ad- vantages under the Income Tax Act may have overlooked one important benefit, the revenue department says. The department said in a news release that many farmers have not taken advantage of a Asks for milk hike Blake Sanford, Co-ordinator, Region 3 of the National Farmers Union has requested an im- mediate increase of 95 cents per cwt, for producers of industrial milk. Copies of Mr. Sanford's request to the Hon. Eugene F. Whelan, federal Minister of Agriculture has also been sent to Ontario's Minister of Agriculture and Food, Hon. Wm. A. Stewart; Ellard Powers, Chairman of the Canadian Dairy Commission and George McLaughlin, Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, Mr. Sanford said that 70 cents of the increase could be ac- complished by "increasing the subsidy payment by 70 cents or a combination of increased subsidy and increased floor prices for various dairy products. He said he believes the 30 cent holdback levy now paid by in- dustrial milk producers should be reduced to 5 cents per cwt. Mr, Sanford said the present "shortage of feed grains and protein supplements on the world market indicate that short world supplies of dairy products can be expected, and therefore no need for the present producer levy of 30 cents for export purposes." "Production in Canada already is falling short of expectations, and it is apparent that if the in- dustrial milk producer is going to stay in business he must have greater financial returns im- mediately," Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Grain a Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 228-6638 barley, quack grass and foxtail, in that order. In this area they have been located in barley fields. They feed on the awns and then remove the heads. In barley fields they can be detected by awnless heads and or barley heads lying on the ground. In the daytime they remain on the ground. As the grain crop matures, they will migrate to the cornfield. Generally they do not feed on beans or alfalfa. At the present time there is no reason for alarm and we can hope that heavy infestations do not occur; however, grain and corn fields should be watched. If they are located in a field, it does not mean that spraying is warranted; however, if there are 5 or 6 per square foot, action should be taken. Sevin and malathion are recommended as insecticides. Two other in- provision which allows those computing their cash income to add the market value of livestock inventory on hand at the end of the taxation year. The value of the inventory does not include basic 'herds. Revenue officials say there are several ways in which the provision can help farmers. If inventory values are added to income in one taxation year, they may be deducted in the following year. If this is followed from year to year, ultimate benefit is gained when a final disposal is made, when it is needed most, the department said. Also, if a farmer suffers a loss in one taxation year, he can use the inventory value to offset the loss and give himself a nil taxable income. Farmers can use an equivalent amount as a deduction to reduce liability for tax in future years. The provision also allows farmers to use the value of their closing inventory to increase income in a taxation year the department said. This permits them to absorb losses from prior years. The legislation is retroactive to Jan., 1972 and farmers who may have benefitted from the provision but did not apply it last year may amend their returns to show livestock inventories. Requests for the changes may be made up to Sept. 30 or until 90 days after the issuing of assessment notices, whichever is la ter.
