He made the comment after advising council that one citizen had approached him wondering why the licences were not man- datory. Chief Ted Day agreed it mdy be foolish not to have a penalty for those who fail to buy tags for their bikes, but explained that the main objective in issuing licences was to have a registration • number in cases of theft, He said registrations were dropping each year and suggested the matter be held in abeyance until the fall when the government is announce new ding bicycles. provincial expected to laws regar- Ken and Jim Bearss - Trojan and Warwick Dealers plastic I FARM clay" dr m DRAIN TILE McFARLANE & SONS LIMITED Forest 873-5742 or 873.4682 Manufacturers of drainage systems N.H. 890 HARVESTER, W/2 row narrow corn head & wide pick up, 1000 R.P.M., long tongue, electric controls N.H. 770HARVESTER W/2 row narrow corn head & 770 W. pick up N.H.

All steers are not born equal-some are more ef- ficient than others at con- verting feed to beef and reach market weight faster. But studies at Agriculture Canada's research station at Melfort, Sask., show that equality can be induced by using double the normal growth hormone commonly used to promote fast weight gains in feedlot steers. "It's a case of identifying feedlot animals that are gaining weight slowly," says Stan Beacom, director of the station. "Like all other steers in the feedlot, that animal will normally receive one implant of a growth stimulant, We have found that a second implant will bring the slow animals up to par with the balance of the animals." And the result is more beef produced by the farmer for consumers. ' In spring 1978, 96 feedlot steers were finished using two growth stimulants. Half were given `Ralgro', the rest, 'Synovex S', In the first five weeks, the Synovex- treated steers averaged 1.57 kg per day weight gain. The Ralgro-treated steers averaged 1.24 kg per day. `,`Wet', then'took the 24 IthlgrdYI'VW 24- Synovex- treated stediFs l 'Whieh were the slowest gainers, averaging .2 kg per head per day less, and gave them a second Synovex treatment at six and eight weeks respectively. This second implant increased the rate of gain over a single implant by .24 kg day for Synovex steers and .32 kg day for Ralgro steers," Dr. Beacom says. "One result was that by the end of the test the double- implanted steers averaged .1 kg per head per day more than the single-implanted steers." The double implant also affected grades and carcass weights Steers treated with a single Synovex implant Training pigs to turn on and shut off switches to control the temperature of their living quarters may become a practical way of lowering supplemental heat costs. "Tests done recently in the United States show that pigs like to be able to control their environment, and can be taught to do so," says Victor Pouteaux, 'swine specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture's animal in- dustry branch. Researchers at • the University of Illinois designed a series of ex- periments to find out what temperatures pigs prefer and, whether pigs will try to control their environment. They used four week old pigs providing their pens with switches to regulate the heat frbm heat lamps. The pigs could operate switches with their noses. The 1979 Ontario Federation of Agriculture Convention this year moves from Hamilton to Toronto. .The location will be the Downtown Holiday Inn, Toronto from November 26 through 29. The convention theme is this year is "Challenges in the '80's. Some topics to be discussed at the Convention are; Energy in the 80's; The Politics of Agriculture; Capitalization for the 80's and The Quality of Life.

IT PAYS TO BUY EARLY from PORT FRANKS YAMAHA Port Franks 243.2703 dressed 53.8 percent, with 19 of 24 steers grading Al and A2. Steers treated with a single Ralgro implant dressed at 54.0 percent with Regardless of whether heat lamps were set to stay on for one, three or six minute periods, once star- ted, the pigs operated the switch in an orderly way to get short periods of sup- plemental heat. The cooler the room the more often they activated the switch, Researchers found that demand for heat was greater in afternoon (3.00 p.m.) than it was in the morning (3.00 a.m,). This daily demand cycle remained constant regardless of heat period setting, room temperature or lighting. In another similar ex- periment, pigs learned to shut heat lamps off if the temperature became too hot. The same pattern of heat demand was set with pigs wanting more heat mid- afternoon and less just before dawn. With so many challenges facing agriculture this should be an informative and exciting Convention - a time for farmers to influence decisions which will affect their future. Huron County delegates will be elected at the annual regional meetings on Sep- tember 6 at 8:30 p.m. The meeting for West Central Huron and South Huron will be held at Huron Centennial School, Brucefield, (For all those Townships from Highway 8 south.) The meeting for North East Huron, North West Huron and East Central Huron will be held at East Wawanosh School, Belgrave. (For all those Townships north of Highway 8.) - In addition to the election of convention delegates and regional directors, OFA activities will be discussed, and a speaker will present an update of the corn marketing proposals. EFL 21 of 24 steers grading Al and A2. But steers treated with the two Synovex implants dressed 54.6 percent and the Ralgro Synovex treated steers dressed 54.3 percent. In both categories, 21 of 24 animals graded Al and A2. "More importantly for producers is the resulting increase in revenue from the better dressing per- centages," Dr. Beacom says. The single implanted animals averaged $614.99 for Synovex steers and $619.25 for Ralgro steers. But steers receiving the two Synovex treatments averaged $626.23 and the Ralgro Synovex steers, $625.66. "Who can beef about something that benefits both producer and consumer? For the research, a second implant markedly improves the performance of slow- gaining steers. It helps in- crease beef production and the returns to the producer making the added in- vestment for a second treatment worthwhile," Dr. Beacom says.
