The presentation of the World
Championship Awards in field
crops is always a highlight of the
annual Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair. 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

The World Championship in
barley was won for the sixth
time by Mr. Alex Blackhall, of
Hillhead, Aberdeenshire,
Scotland. 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.
