As a junior agriculturalist,
young people 16 and 17 years of

commercial farms for a 9-week
ivraxi during the summer. They
live eAith and participate in the
regular activities of the farm
families on their farms and in
their communities.
This year, the on-farm
assignment lasts from June 23 to
August 23. Each junior
agriculturalist will receive a
training allowance of $16 per day,
based on a 6-day week, Half of
this is provided by the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food; the host farmer provides
$3 in cash per day, as well as
room and board worth $5 per day.
The junior agriculturalist will
be under the direct supervision of
the farm operator, taking part in
the day-to-day activities on the
farm, Hours on a farm can be
irregular and sometimes long,
depending on the current activity
and weather.
Those persons interested in the
junior agriculturalist program

IDENTIFYING COYOTES — Township livestock valuators from three counties attended a seminar on iden-
tification of coyotes at the Hullett wildlife management area, Monday. From the left are Fred Parkinson,

Bellinger.
He said coyotes usually weigh
from 35 to 50 pounds while wolves
weigh as much as 90 pounds.
Coyotes may be identified by a
hourglass black markon the tail.
Bellinger told the group that
rabies are not as prevalent in
coyotes as in foxes,
marked improvements in the
carcass index and growthiness of
the market hogs by selecting
replacement gilts on the basis of
test results and by using superior
performance tested boars.
Herd owners making use of the
expanded program will be
required to provide an accurate
scale, identify gilts, individually
before weaning and record their
birth dates as well as the iden-
tification of both sire and dam.
"'t'his expanded Swine Testing
Program is another step towards
further improving the quality of
Ontario hogs which presently
enjoy a growing international
reputation," Mr. Stewart con-
cluded.
Farmers interested in having
gilts weighed and probed under
the swine performance testing
program should write for further
details to the Live Stock Branch,

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: pi-e-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.
Township livestock evaluators
from three counties were told
Monday how to tell whether
sheep have been killed by coyotes
or dogs.
The more than 40 evalutors
from Huron, Bruce and Perth
were told by Roy Bellinger, game
and fish enforcement officer for
the Wingham district of Natural
Resources that coyotes attack
sheep around the neck while dogs
assault from behind.
Bellinger added, "dogs usually
chase animals for fun by biting at
their heels and are not looking for
a meal while a coyote is looking
for fresh meat and usually strikes
in the throat area of sheep,
Bellinger showed slides of
sheep which had been attacked
by dogs and coyotes.
Under new provincial
legislation which took effect
March 1, farmers with a loss of
livestock or poultry by animals of
any kind will be reimbursed by
the township.
If a dog is responsible for
killing, compensation is made to
the farmer from township funds
received through dog taxes. If a
coyote is responsible, the farmer
still receives his money from the
township, but the municipality in
return is compensated by the
Ontario MiniStry of Agriculture.
In the past if valuators decided
a coyote was respo)2sible for
damages, the farmer contacted
the Ministry of Natural
Resources.
Bellinger said the town0.ip
valuator still decides on the value
of the livestock or poultry
destroyed with the maximum
being $100 in the case of sheep.
The. Resources official said it
was reasonably easy to tell if
animals were killed by dogs or
coyotes by looking at the herds or
flocks.
If a coyote was responsible
likely only one animal would be
' killed and the balance not
disturbed, If dogs were the
culprits the balance of the flock
would be worried and probably
well spread around.
While wolves are not known to
be in the Wingham district
Bellinger said the coyote
population was reasonably high.
When asked about any programs
to cut down on the coyote
population he said "No, the
markets usually take care of this.
The price for a coyote pelt is $20
and they are hunted pretty
hard."

The Ontario swine per-
formance testing program under
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food is being
expanded to include commercial
herds. When the program was
initiated in 1967 only purebred
breeders were eligible to par-
ticipate. In making the an-
nouncement, the Honourable
William A. Stewart, Minister of
Agriculture and Food said: "The
expanded program will provide
Ontario commercial hog
producers enrolled in the
program with the necessary
accurate performance in-
formation to make the selection
of superior animals."
Gilts in herds enrolled in the
program will be weighed and
ultrasonically backfat probed on

technicians of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.

Farm credit
on increase
The use of credit in the farm
operation is growing at a fan-
tastic rate and a major concern
of farmers is how to use credit in
this time of inflation, Dr. Dick
Trimble, an agricultural
economist from Ontario
Agricultural College in Guelph
will discuss the topic of "Inflation
and Financing the Family
Farm" at a meeting on farm
credit to be held Thursday,
March 27 in London.
At the same meeting Linsey
Barfoot, Agricultural
Representative with the Bank of
Montreal will speak on the banks'
role in farm financing. Several
banks are offering various forms
of assistance in money
management including CAN-
CHER and Mr. Barfoot will cover
this area as well.
The third speaker at the
meeting is Marty Albers, area
supervisor for Farm Credit
Corporation. At present second
reading has been given by the
federal government to a bill that
will change amounts and some
conditions of a Farm Credit
Corporation Loan. If the bill is
passed shortly, Mr. Albers will
include these changes in his talk
on "Farm Credit Corporation and
the Young Farmer."
The meeting takes place on
Thursday March 27 at 8:00 p.m.
in the W. K. Riddell Room,
