The next northern feeder sale will be held at South River, Thursday, September 13, Due to the excellent pastures the con- signment has been lower than $72.751 Sold! This was the high bid at the first of the 1973 Nor- thern Feeder Sales held at Wiarton on Sept, 6. The sale, under the direction of the Grey- Bruce Livestock Co-Operative Association, brought over $795,000. for the 2,000 head of- fered. The very strong prices received has set a good pattern for the remaining northern sale. Interest in the sale was evident by the brisk bidding and the large number of buyers, the largest ever to be at, the Wiarton sales, Many of these were new buyers and with both of the next two Wiarton sales now completely usual and at this time it would appear that there will be about 250 head offered.

The cost of producing a crop is a major part of every farmer's investment. More farmers are purchasing crop insurance to protect their investment against loss through weather hazards they cannot control. The record sales of 1973 demonstrate that increasingly numbers of Ontario farmers believe that government crop insurance is a sound in- vestment.

Mr, and Mrs. Harold Prance visited at Gillco]m Sunday. Over 60 million dollars worth of crop insurance was purchased by Ontario farmers for the current year. Figures just released by The Crop Insurance Commission, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, indicate increased participation in crop insurance this year. In 1972, the amount of crop insurance purchased was $25,800,000 by 8,200 contracts for 455,000 acres. This year the in- surance amounted to close to 61,000,000 and was under 12,200 contracts covering 623,000 acres. Farmer premiums collected this year were $1,900,000 as compared to $806,000 a year ago. The crop insurance program, sponsored jointly by the federal and provincial governments, was first begun in 1966 with a winter wheat plan. Since that time the program has grown rapidly in both farmer participation and the number of plans being offered. Currently there are 19 different crop insurance plans to cover all By MRS.

F of A rejects price ceilings In a resolution passed early Wednesday, the executive of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture rejects price ceilings on Farm products, in the face of rapidly escalating production costs. The resolution refers to the federal government's proposal to freeze the price of milk for a year, and to place a ceiling on the price of wheat used for human consumption. "The price of dairy ration increased as much as 23 percent during the month of August, alone. We are concerned with the increases in the cost of petroleum products, machinery, fertilizer, labour, building materials, and transportation. The prices of these, and other vital inputs are soaring, " says Brockville dairyman Keith Matthie. Matthie is the Federation's second vice- president. He notes, "The rail strike and the increasing demands of workers in other industries are bound 'to increase the price of goods and services that farmers must buy," "For years, small surpluses on the world market depressed farm income. Now, when world trade is brisk and prices are higher, farmers object to action which denies reasonable returns from the market place. We bitterly resent such moves by the federal government to reduce farm in- come," says Federation president, Gordon Hill. "Since the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board have responsibilities to both farmers and consumers, the OVA trusts they will not be arridadnso.e uvered into accepting this short-sighted proposal," Hill • Giant capacity-104 square feet of separating and crops. 130-bu grain tank unloads fast. • Quality harvesting —Tut clean grain in the tank. 13%-ft straw Walkers remove straw and chaff. • You're in control —Sit high and in complete cam- Mand of the powerful 152-hp gasoline engine (diesel engine optional.)
