This year's Presi- dent of the Royal, Mr. Trumbull Warren, in opening the Presenta- tion of Awards Ceremonies, emphasized the importance of the Seeds Exhibit and Competi- tion by stating, "Agriculture is Canada's largest and most im- portant industry. All food for man, or animal, starts with seed, and the better the quality of the seed, the more likelihood of better grain produced. Good seed value cannot be over-estimated in a world greatly in need of ad- ditional grain supplies as world populations continue to expand." Canada's new Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Denis Hudon, complimented the Royal on at- tracting the best seed from all over the world. Mr. R. G. Bennett, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food for On- tario, stressed the importance of the continuing use of high quality seed, using illustrations of im- proved and expanded production that has taken place in Ontario's grain production over the last few years. If this increased production, so necessary to meet world food requirements, is to continue as it should many farmers share the belief that grain stabilization prices must be put in effect so farmers would know that, if world supplies were to suddenly increase, they, as producers, would not be again left "holding the bag" as was the case in previous periods of over-supply. It is hard to understand why the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Whelan, has not announced the grain stabilization program that he promised during the last federal election, and which was provided in the Federal legisla- tion passed by the House of Com- mons in July 1975. More grain handling facilities for drying and storage are going to have to be put in place either on farms, or by Agri-business, if long lineups of vehicles waiting to unload are to be avoided in the future. Many farmers have sav- ed themselves the cost of ar- tificial drying of corn by either putting their undried grain corn in silos or putting, the cobs in cribs for natural drying, With current high energy costs, and likely to go higher, it would be a good idea to explore every possi- ble means of not only avoiding the frustrations of waiting in endless lineups, causing expen- sive harvesting machinery to sit Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.

The flax World Cham- pionship was won by Mr, Chas. McCullough, Carman, Manitoba, also for the sixth consecutive year. The County of Huron won the World Hay Championship for the 12th time, with an entry by Russell Bolton, Seaforth, his fourth consecutive win. Huron County has won this award more often than any other individual county in Ontario. Robert Allan, Brucefield, Huron County, won the Canadian Seed Growers' Association trophy for Pedigreed Seeds with his entry of white beans, His win was all the more significant because his prize- winning entry was drawn by Federal seed inspectors from sealed bags of several hundreds of bushels of pedigreed white beans already treated and ready for planting next year. With the fiasco, still fresh in most farmers' minds, over the refusal by Canada's Prime Minister to open the World Plow- Zion UCW read letter on violence By MRS. THOMAS HERN ZION Zion United Church Women held their Christmas meeting Wednesday evening with the president Mrs. Ray Jaques in charge of business. Roll call was answered with an exchange of cookie recipes. Messenger leaders for 1976 are Mrs. Fred Miller and Mrs. Bob Hem. Treasurer's report showed a nice balance from 1975. A letter was read about violence on TV and tabled until the January meeting. Program conveners, Mrs. Cliff Jaques and Mrs. Thomas Hem, gave the worship service and two Christmas readings. An activity period followed when all members made Christmas bows. Officers for next term are past president, Mrs, Ray Jaques, president, Mrs. Lorne Hem; 1st vice president, Mrs. Earl Miller; secretary, Mrs. Harry Hern; ass. secretary, Mrs, Cliff Jaques, treasurer, Mrs. Gordon Johnson. Stewardship and finance, Mrs. Wm. Morley; friendship and welfare, Mrs. Keith Hern and Mrs. Mac Mills; Christian education, Mrs. Morris Hern. Persona Is Mrs. & Mrs. Bob Hern, Mrs. Harold Hern attended the Youth Symphony orchestra and University choir, concert at Centennial Hall, London, Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Ephriam Hern returned home from St. Joseph's hospital last week. Her daughter Mrs. Orville Snell, Grimsby, has been r staying with her while she is recuperating. ing Match last September because two plowmen from Rhodesia were among the en- trants from 21 countries of the world, it was particularly in- teresting to note that the World Trophy for ear corn was won by John Hawksley, a Rhodesian farmer. His entry captivated the attention of most grain producers with the great size and length of the corn cobs and the enormous size of the kernels themselves. The rows of kernels on the cob were not as straight and even as on most of the North American entries but the obvious quality and volume of kernels earned this entry of white- coloured corn from Rhodesia the World Championship, The World Championship award in oats, presented by the Quaker Oats Co. of Peter- borough, went to G. W. Unger, of N.S.W., Australia. The award was accepted by Mr. Loveday, Australian Trade Commissioner, in the absence of Mr. Unger. The seed potatoes award went to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hockley, Clare- mont, Ont., who have been show- ing potatoes at the Royal over the last 25 years. Mr. Jas. Richardson, Walkerton, won the Dominion Stores Trophy for rutabagas. Mr. Richardson has been a consistent exhibitor and winner in previous Royals with his high quality rutabagas, a cash crop of great importance to many Western Ontario farmers. With some 750 entries in the seed section alone one can get some idea of the enormous size and competitiveness of the seeds competition at the 1975 Royal. With entries from several provinces in Canada, the United States and several other coun- tries winning awards, it was tru- ly a world wide international competition, In meeting and chatting with farmers from all over the world who come to the Royal to either exhibit or to see for themselves what other countries have to offer in breeding livestock or seeds, I have come to the in- escapable conclusion most farmers want to meet the demands for increasing food production but all share the com- mon concern of how to meet in- creasing input costs. Lice build up may be problem Lice may be more of a problem this fall and winter. Warm weather contributes to reproduction and lice infestations may have built up. Systemic insecticides for warble control gives only tem- porary control of lice, Inspect your cattle for lice every two weeks between mid December and March. Look for lice by parting the hair over the tail head, along the back, between the shoulders and around the neck and ears. Cattle heavily infested with lice should be sprayed or dusted to eliminate the pest. The use of back rubbers should prevent further buildup. Precautions should be taken: (1) Use only recommended materials and follow directions closely. (2) Wear protective clothing, gloves and a respirator if in a closed area. Recommended materials such as Sevin, Ciodrin, Lindane and Malathion sprays and Sevin, Ciodrin, Malathion and Rotenone dusts are available at your local feed dealers and farm supply centres, Good louse control will result in better gains and lower feed conversion. South America has a greater area of productive forests than Canada.
