Dairymen now have their cows out on pasture and it's time to think about the effect on fat test. Remember the dif- ferential is now 14c per point of butterfat. In this area we usually see a dip in fat tests in late May, June and July. Fat tests usually go down as a cow peaks in milk production. This is normal. But, when a whole herd's fat test is low, especially seasonally; this usually indicates a feeding management problem. To help prevent extreme fat test depression you should: Financial Task force Agriculture and Food Minister William G. Newman recently an- nounced the establishment of a Financial Protection Task Force to review methods of protecting farmers against default of pay- ment for their products. In making the announcement, Mr. Newman said he is concern- ed about a situation where a producer sells his entire crop to one or two buyers and then, because of difficulties experienc- ed by the buyers, may be unable to collect all or part of the pay- ment due him. To determine the best method of extending financial protection to producers, Mr. Newman said the task force will examine ex- isting provincial programs and also look at methods used in other jurisdictions. Among Ontario's existing programs are the dairy fund set up under The Farm Products Payments Act, the bonding arrangements required by The Livestock Community Sales Act, the protection extended to producers who store their grain in commercial elevators, and the licensing provisions of The Farm Products Marketing Act and the Farm Products Marketing Board. The task force will ask in- dividuals and interested organizations to submit briefs and comments. Chairman of the task force is Morris Huff, vice-chairman of the Ontario Food Council. Members from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food are On- tario Livestock Commissioner Hubert McGill, Area Coor- dinator Richard Heard (London) and Dairy Coordinator Joseph Meiser (Toronto). Other members are Marshall Dawson of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations; Norman Harris of the Management Board of Cabinet; Hugh Baird of Saint- field, a dairy farmer, and Sam Piott, chairman of Ontario Tender Fruit Growers' Marketing Board. 1. Prevent massive feeding changes. The most common change is to go from hay and silage to pasture only. The pasture is very succulent and low in dry matter and fibre. Keep feeding hay in the barn when the cows are on pasture. Even a couple of pounds of hay daily will help prevent the fat test drop. 2. Keep the grain mix as coarsely ground as possible. This will prevent too rapid a movement of the grain through the cows digestive system, 3. Be sure the grain mix is correctly balanced to supply all the additional protein, T.D.N., calcium and phosphorus the cow needs beyond what she gets from the pasture or stored roughages. 4, Provide lots of water and either shade or a cool rest area for the cows, High temperatures can lower milk production and fat tests, Keep in mind the effects quick or careless changes have on the milk cheque. This may help keep the cow producing to her capabilities as well as keeping a few dollars from slipping away. Seek spraying information Encephalitis, a disease carried by mosquitoes, sometimes referred to as "sleeping sickness", caused quite a scare late last summer when doctors claimed that it was responsible for five deaths in the Windsor and Sarnia areas. At last week's Exeter Council meeting, Coun. Ted Wright suggested that the town should be looking into precautionary measures against the spread of the deadly disease, He moved that Council write a letter to the Ministry of the Environment asking for information on spraying mosquito-infested areas to keep down the population. Reeve Derry Bo* added that a letter should go to the Huron County Medical officer as well and Council will await word from these two on before embarking on their own program. Several counties in south- western Ontario will undertake mosquito-spraying programs this year, including Kent, Essex, Lambton, and Elgin, however, Huron, Middlesex, and Perth have not committed themselves to county-wide programs, leaving it up to the separate municipalities to make the decision.
