Urges more
wheat crops
By ADRIAN VOS
Minister Otto Lang of the
Canadian Wheat Board has been
urging the western farmer to
grow more wheat. His American
counterpa'rt has been doing the
same thing. Some farmers
haven't forgotten lessons from
the past, when overproduction
caused prices to slump to such an
extent that the farmer was stuck
with a loss for every bushel he
grew.
This resulted in cheap food for
the Canadian consumer and for
the consumer in the buying
countries, while the countries
that needed the food still went
hungry because they couldn't
even pay for the transporation of
the grain, let alone the grain
itself. Nothing has changed. Food
aid is given in dollars, not in
bushels, so with inflation the poor
gets less.
One bumper crop in North
America and we will have
trouble storing the wheat while
the Indians and Bangladeshians
still starve. Everyone agrees that
a buffer of grain should be
created, but nobody is willing to
pay for it. As a result the North
American farmer will have to
pay for the storage and at
the same time his storage will be
used against him to depress his
price.
And if there is a market, the
docks will be idle for two months
every year because of strikes, not
to mention slow work actions in
between. The, western
longshoremen want an increase
in annual wages from $17,200 to
$22,000 by the end of 1976. And
this for mainly unskilled labourer
work.
How long are we going to stand
for this? Because it is in my view
an essential industry to feed the
world, strikes should be banned
and any unlawful strike
prosecuted, with the army
moving in when necessary to
keep the grain moving. No skills
needed except for maintenance.
Most sit on their backsides
watching the augers and suction-
hoses anyway.
Air beefs
about beef
The Huron Federation of
Agriculture will hold a special
meeting for beef producers in the
Londesboro Hall on Wednesday,
March 26.
Doug Fortune of Wingham, the
president said that beefmen have
been asking the Federation to do
something about the low prices
they receive for their product. In
this meeting the beefmen will be
asked what they want the
organization to do.
If the cattlemen can agree on
some action that should be taken,
the OFA directors will take the
'proposals to the monthly
directors meeting in Toronto for
action. Cattlemen are urged to
attend so that no action will be
taken with which they do not
agree.
Running into debt isn't nearly
as bad as running into your
creditors.

AAtret means less weeds,
AAtrex Liquid means less work.
When you put AAtrex Liquid to
work on your weeds, you get more
than just AAtrex-clean cornfields.
YoU also get a new ease of
handling, convenience and even
greater efficiency, That's because
AAtrex Liquid is a liquid suspension
with no dust.
AAtrex Liquid gives you the un-
equalled AAtrex flexibility of applica-
tion: pre-plant, pre-emergent,
post-emergent. And AAtrex Liquid
requires only 10 gal/acre for pre-
emergent control and 15 gal/acre
for post-emergent control. So you
can spray more acres per tankful
and take less trips to your
water source,
Plus, you can substitute liquid
fertilizer for water during pre-
emergent spraying and feed while
you weed.
Some carry-over may be found
where spraying has overlapped,
but most crop rotation is unaffected
when AAtrex Liquid is used
according to label rates for most
weeds.
This is what makes AAtrex
Liquid your best choice for
controlling most annual
broadleaf weeds and
grasses. AAtrex Liquid. The easiest
way yet to grow maximum yield corn
in the cleanest fields.

Times-Advocate, March 20, 1975 Can crop prices set,
pea seed costs rise
Prices have been: set for the
1975 canning pea crop to Ontario
and growers can expect about a
seven and one-half percent in-
crease in returns from a year
ago.
The 1975 contract prices were
revealed Friday night at the
annual banquet of the Huron
Perth Can Crop Growers
Association by Ed Mayhew,
chairman of the Ontario
Vegetable Growers Marketing
Board.
The increase for the 1975 carrot
crop will range from seven and a
half to 101 2 percent depending on
the time of 'year of purchase by
processing plants.
Negotiations for the sweet corn
contract have broken down and
arbitration is taking place in
Chatham today, Thursday,
During his brief remarks Ed
Mayhew, an Essex County
vegetable grower said, "we seem
to be approaching the 1975 season
with cautious optimism. This has
been a difficult yeas' for
negotiations."
Mayhew cited huge increases
in input costs as causing the most
problems The cost of seed peas
has risen to 261 2 cents per pound
or $59.36 per acre. Mayhew
commented on seed prices, "seed
costs are more for 1975 than we
received from the crop about 10
years ago."
Cost of harvesting has also
risen from $45 to $47.50 per acre.
Jack Urquhart, manager of the
Exeter plant of Canadian Can-
ners paid tribute to growers in
the Huron-Perth area saying,
"we have the best group of
growers in the province. It's an
important asset of any company
to have excellent relations with
the people you work with and
for."
