The chairman of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board, Fergus Young, RR 1, Ennismore announced Friday the board will make an interim payment to Ontario wheat producers of fifty cents per bushel. Under the new agency marketing system inaugurated for the 1973 crop of Ontario wheat, producers receive an initial payment of $1.51 per bushel basis grade No. 2 14 percent moisture. The only marketing board deduction is a one cent bushel licence fee making the actual' initial price to the producer $1.50 per bushel. In keeping with provisions of the new agency system, and as the result of sufficient sales of wheat made to date by the marketing board well in excess of $2,00 per bushel, the marketing board established an iterim- payment of fifty cents per bushel. There will also be a final payment when the crop is all sold following crop year end June 30th, 1974. All wheat sold by producers under the agency system is, in turn, pooled and sold by the marketing board with monies received distributed to producers through interim and final payments made by the marketing Board. The announcement states that "the interim payment of fifty cents per bushel will be paid to all Ontario wheat producers ' who received initial payments on 1973 new crop deliveries up to the end of September 1973," "Producers selling wheat after September 30th will receive the set $1.51 per bushel initial payment plus the .50 interim payment for a total of $2.01 per bushel, They will also receive at year end, the final payment." Board officials advised the interim payment will be made to producers as soon after Sep- tember 30thas is possible, taking into account time required' for processing producer records.Itis expected the payment will be made not later than December 1, 1973.

A ESTI Ontario dairy farmers who produce milk for table use are to receive an additional 90 cents per hundredweight for their milk, effective October 1. In announcing the increase in returns to the Province's 8,070 fluid milk producers, the Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, George R. McLaughlin, stated that the Board is very concerned with the maintenance of an -adequate supply of milk for the consuming public. "This concern was evident," he said, "in a recent press release by the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Eugene Whelan, when he announced measures to effect an increase in returns of THE CO-OrBULK SPREADING WAY $1.00 per hundredweight for producers of industrial milk," In the Fall of 1972, total milk production in Ontario began to fall off from year earlier levels. "Since the beginning of 1973," Mr, McLaughlin said, "the ra te of decrease has accelerated front 1 percent to a level of 6.9 percent for the month of July. The Board has taken action previously in an attempt to offset this trend. It is obvious now that the previous price increases were insufficient to accomplish the objective of maintaining adequate milk supplies, The only responsible action for the Board to take now is to increase the price sub- stantially." Both continued rapid increases in farm costs and increasingly Fertilizing Pays 6 Ways on Hay and Pasture 1. STRONGER, MORE VIGOROUS STANDS Fertilization helps establish big vigorous plants, improves first year yields, and "winterizes" legumes. 2. HIGHER YIELDS OF DRY MATTER & TON Fertilizing every year boosts per acre yields and the production of Total Digestible Nutrients. 3. BETTER PRODUCTION, YEAR AFTER YEAR Annual fertilization improves per- sistence, reduces need for fre- quent costly reseeding. 4. LOWER COST FEED NUTRIENTS Productive hay and pasture crops are the lowest cost source of feed nutrients. High yields will further reduce costs, and lessen the need for purchased feeds, 5. INCREASED MILK & BEEF PER ACRE Milk and beef production on well- managed, well-fertilized pastures show that per acre output can often be doubled or tripled, 6. EXTRA CASH INCOME PER ACRE Forage fertilization can return as much as $5 for every $1 spent on fertilizers, i;anai:6'.4,to-OP" Service Ontario Farmer. CO-OP Ref: PLANT FOOD COUNCIL ONTARIO, INC. Bulk Fertiliier Spreading' to the attractive alternatives to milk production contribute to the need for higher returns to milk producers. "From the first to the second quarter of this year," Mr. McLaughlin said, "feed costs have increased another 10.5 percent and labor is reported at 6,6 percent higher. Many producers are faced with the circumstance where it is more attractive to sell the feed supply they would normally use to feed their dairy cattle, rather than to convert it to milk. They face equally attractive alternative uses for their cattle and their own labor," Normally, the combination of production costs and alternative opportunities is used through a complex economic formula to guide the Board in making pricing decisions. "With the rapidly changing conditions in the past two years," he said, "the Board has been unable to maintain the price at the levels indicated by this economic formula." The Board feels that the diminishing milk supply is directly related to the cir- cumstances of the recent past where the milk price failed to equal or exceed the level in- dicated by the formula. Mr. McLaughlin said that the increase in the producer price is between 11 and 12 percent. The increase to the consumer is not known, because this is deter- mined by the individual dairies and stores in response to com- petitive forces. The Board calculates that the producer increase itself will amount to an additional $9,20 per year for a family of four consuming an average of 100 quarts per capita per year, This amounts to an increase of 2.5 cents per day. The 90-cent increase per hundredweight raises the farm price for raw milk in Southern Ontario from $7,90 to $8.80 per hundredweight, and in Northern Ontario from $8.47 to $9.37 per hundredweight.
