EXTENSIVE CALF CLUB — The Exeter 4-H calf club is enjoying one of
its best years with 35 members completing club activities. The 4-H sign
in the background was made by the club with prize money they receiv-
ed from the Western Fair in 1973. Fifteen of the older members have
entered calves in the Queen's Guinea class at the Royal Winter Fair in
Toronto in November. Back, left, leader Robert Hern, Lyle Kinsman,

Plants continue moving sugar
Frost not stopping corn
By Terry Daynard, Department
of Crop Science, O.A.C.
Contrary to common opinion in
North America, the recent frosts
are unlikely to have stopped the
development of immature corn
plants. Any temperature below
32 F will kill the leaves of corn,
but significantly lower
"Producers have been urging
the board to go after export
business," noted Keith Weeded, I
Board Chairman, "However .a
number of details have had to be
worked out such as bow to pay the
producers of the hogs going to fill
an export order. The only fair
way is to pool prices for all
domestic and export sales of
grain fed hogs; thus no portion of
our producers are either
penaliod or advantaged for such
special sales,"
"Weekly teletype sales for the
packers domestic market
requirements will continue from
the boards forty-six market
yards with the actual prices paid
being publicly announced as in
the past," Mr. Weeden explained,
"Sales to export will be exempt
from the teletype regulations but
price will be negotiated oe the
basis of a cost of production
formula with packers who are
prepared to enter a contract for
delivery to a foreign buyer."
Whether for domestic or export
sales, producers will continue to
ship to a sales point showing
lowest cost of delivery. Payment
will be on the basis of 100 index
determined by the average
weighted price of all grain fed
hogs for each week. The in-
dividual producer's settlement
will be according to the grade and
weight of carcasses in the
shipment.
Packing companies have ex-
ported pork products in the past
but have had reservations about
making forward sales due to
uncertainties of price and the ,
quantity marketed by pro-
ducers. The board's major
policy change is to negotiate
export sales at a firm price over a
stated future period. In 1973, the
Japanese bought eight million
dollars worth of Ontario pork.
with complete control of the in-
dustry."
"The day the control of food
falls into the hands of a few large
integrated producers will be a
sorry day for consumers."

Blames structure
for mess in eggs
"Destruction of the principle
of National Marketing agencies
in Canada is the real issue at
stake in the current rotten egg
controversy," Farmers' Union
said today. Beryl Plurnptre's
major achievement through the
Food Prices Review Board has
been to create strained
relationships between farmers
and consumers.
"Mrs. Plumptre, with the aid
of a misinformed Minister of
Consumer Affairs, has been mis-
leading the general public, in-
timating that government funds
cover the egg losses."
Mr. Sanford said the Canadian
Egg Marketing Agency appears
to be in a mess, and no one can
condone mismanagement that
allows eggs to spoil, in a hungry
world, The problem is not the
principle of National Marketing
but rather the structure under
which C.E.M.A. has to operate.
"The power to regulate
production and prices is granted
to the provinces under the
British North America Act and it
is impossible for a national
marketing agency to perform its
necessary functions as long as
provincial governments hang on
to this power and refuse to pass
the necessary legislation to
transfer it to the federal
authorities," he said.
"C.E.M.A, must become the
sole authority to regulate the in-
dustry in all of Canada and not be
hampered by the decisions of
provincial marketing boards."
Mr. Sanford added that failure
to provide national agencies with
necessary powers there will con-
tinue to be problems, for
both consumers and producers.
In the meantime the whole con-
cept for national marketing will
be destroyed and egg production,
along with other commodities
will remain in boom and bust
cycles.
''However,'' Mr. Sanford
warned, "each time the cycle
goes around there will be fewer
farmers left and production will
be concentrated into fewer and
fewer hands, who will move in
temperatures are recaiired to kill
the rest of the plant.
Progressively lower
temperatures (and lengths of ex-
posure to these temperatures)
are required to kill the upper
stalk, lower stalk, and finally
the ear of the plant.
If only the leaves of the plant
are frozen, the plants will con-
tinue to move sugars out of the
stalk and into the grain for
another 2 to 3 weeks. A similar
phenomenon will occur if only
the upper stalk is frozen as most
sugars are stored in the lower
stalk. Ear development can only
be stopped completely if both the
lower stalk and the ear are
frozen.
A check of several fields in the
Guelph area this week has shown
that the frosts of this week were
severe enough to freeze leaves
and upper stalk, but not the rest
of the plant, Temperatures
reached 2 5-2 6 F on both
September 23 and 24 at Guelph
and we would expect the follow-
ing to happen to immature grain
and silage corn over the next 2 to
3 weeks.
Grain Kernels will continue to
develop for much of this period
using stored stalk sugars. I
would expect many fields to put
percent grain moisture;- with
frozen plants.
I would expect the correspon-
ding grain moisture content to be
closer to 50 percent. This cor-
responds to a stage when the
kernels are dented and not juicy
in the upper (outer) part of the
kernel, but are still quite juicy
below, Silage should be
harvested as early as possible to
avoid excessive respiration
losses, but not so early as to
cause seepage. The corn will dry
down more quickly after the
frost, but not instantly.
On a dry matter basis, corn
silage from immature frozen
corn should be just as digestible
and valuable for feeding as "nor-
mal" silage from more mature
corn; provided the immature
corn is ensiled at a moisture con-
tent below 70 percent, animal
dry matter intake will be
satisfactory.
As a result, we would suggest
that farmers with well-advanced
corn, who had planned to ensile
their crop,might consider filling
their silos with immature corn
from a neighbour and keeping
their own crop for grain. Both
parties, and the province, could
gain financially.
on another 10 to 20 bushels per
acre during this period. The
fields will not yield as much as
without the frost, but no one
should panic and harvest them
before all kernels show black
layers sometime in early-to-mid-
October.
Lodging may be severe.
Resistance to stalk rot can be
related to sugar levels in the
lower stalk and, because of
reduced sugar concentrations,
stalk rot damage will be higher
than normal. As a result,
harvesting should not be delayed
unnecessarily.
In general, we would expect a
pattern similar to 1965 when the
first frost came on August 30.
Our plots put on an additional 20 -
40 bu/acre after the frost, but by
mid-October we had over 95 per-
cent lodging.
Silage because of respiration
losses, total plant dry matter
yield will drop steadily with
time. A lot of water was lost
from frozen leaves and upper
stalks during the day immediate-
ly after the frost and, because of
husk-death, the rest of the plant
will dry more rapidly than nor-
mal. With unfrozen plants, 65
percent whole-plant moisture
corresponds approximately to 45
