And a single directed spray is all it takes. Because BENLATE moves inside white beans so white mold can't. Because it protects from within, Bataan won't be washed off by rains. What's more, there's no residue problem with 0E06.0E. Its low toxicity makes It harmless to bees, There are enough things that cut into your profits. Among them, the weather and the market.

Whether you are a producer or user, the new policy is designed to meet your needs by: • providing a fair and equitable base price for feed grains across Canada; • encouraging growth of grain and livestock production according to natural potential; • maintaining order and stability throughout the grain and livestock sectors. MAIN FEATURES: • farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada; buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find the best price for their crops; • a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across the country; • the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and seller of feed grain for export market; • prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB or to others on the domestic market; • cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended to growers across the country to encourage feed grain production; • a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes; • steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in grain production.

Zero IS nothing, except when it is in the wrong place. Name Datars plow head Howard Datars of Dashwood was appointed chairman of the local committee for the 1978 Plowing Match to be held in Huron County at the Huron Plowmens Association meeting recently. A committee was formed to look for a site to hold the Inter- national Match scheduled for Huron in 1978. On the committee is Howard Datars, Gordon McGavin, John Clark, James Armstrong, Don Pullen and Russell Bolton. Mr. Datars was named to head the local com- mittee that will be responsible for completing local arrangements for the big Inter- national event. This year, the Huron match will be held on County Warden Bill Elston's farm, Lot B, Con. 2, Morris Township on Saturday, September 14. Coaching day will be Friday, September 13. It was decided to investigate the possibility of holding a Home Plowing competition this year. Contestants would be able to plow a field at home and have it judged. Prizes would be award- ed, Ernie Talbot, RR 3 Kippen, and Robert McCarney, RR 3 Seaforth, were appointed to the FarmandUrbanCommittee to in- vestigate the impact of a nuclear plant in Huron County. The association will sponsor a 4-H plow club with John Clark, FIR 5 Goderich, W. J. Leeming and Sam Bradshaw as club leaders. Ellard Lange, chairman of the 1972 Perth match attended the meeting to answer any questions about the organization of an in- ternational match. When I said that 2 million people could live off the energy produc- ed on 20,000 acres, f did have a ,4eiro too many, It should read that 200,000 people can live on the energy produced on the land where the new city near Nan- ticoke is to be'built. Robert Charter of Blyth was so kind to let me have a couple of magazines to peruse, dated December, 1930 and May, 1936. The Toronto price for dressed hogs was $13.50 to $14.50 cwt. Feed barley, 35-40c. Now, almost' 40 years later the price is three times as high for hogs and six times as high for barley. I could find nothing about wages, but I assume that they are about ten times as high. It shows once more that the producer has every right to de- mand more for his products, as he is lagging behind the rest of society in increasing his standard of living, The name of the magazine is The Canadian Coun- tryman and was published in Toronto. July 24, 1936. Der Reichsfuhrer Hitler will open the Sixth World Poultry Congress in Leipzig Ger- many. I have, as have most people, a friend who lives in the city. Harry is somewhat different than most. He is really interested in the farm scene and would some- day want to farm himself. He is so convinced that farming is the best way to live that he almost always is wrong. The best way to demonstrate what I mean is to give a sample of a conversation I often have with him. When talking about the hydro corridors he said: "Why not? You sell the land under it for good money, which enables you to buy more machinery, •and they let you still use the land as before." "But Harry", I said, "What do I need more machinery for? On the other hand you may be right. I won't be allowed to work under the lines when my combine or dumptruck is more than 13.5 feet high, It may be that I will have to buy a smaller combine just to harvest under the lines. The offered compensation however is not enough to buy this extra machine." Harry: "Well you can always buy some cattle and use it as grazing land." Me; "But my cattle are in a feedlot. Do you want me to dismantle my feedlot, sell my crop machinery, erect new fences and start all over again as Grampa did?" Harry: "You do have a point there." The Ontario Agricultural College marks its 100th birthday in 1974 with special programs, displays, tours of the Elora Research Station and an open house at the University of Guelph campus.

A livestock and machinery parade will take place at 12:30 p.m. each day on the university's front campus green, in front of Johnston Hall. Commentators will discuss the livestock and machinery in the show, including a number of farm machines from the past, all indicating the changes that machinery — and Ontario agriculture — have gone through. Tuesday, July 9, after the parade, the machinery displays in the Engineering Building will be officially opened. The exhibit °will include steam engines and other antique units, both operative and on display, together with modern units, illustrating "changes from then to now". One highlight of the display will be a shingle-making operation.
