One of the top egg producers in Huron county is an avid supporter of the Ontario Egg Producers Marketing Board. Marcel Verlinde, who operates a 100 acre farm along with 9,000 laying hens in Hay township, just north of Hensall says, "At one time I was in favour of free en- terprise, but, I was wrong. You can't do anything without controls. "I have faith in the egg marketing board, "Until the marketing board was formed in 1970 or 19'71, things were bad in the layer business," Verlinde continued. Verlinde who came to Canada in 1949 from his native land in Belgium started his layer barn and business in two stages. He started in 1967 and completed it two years later. The barn which now houses 9,000 layers is 286 feet long and 32 feet wide. It has a capacity of 12,000 birds, but, Verlinde is limited to his present 9,000 layers by the marketing board quota. The layers are housed two birds to a cage with four rows going the entire 286 foot length of the barn. His present hens pur- chased at the age of 20 weeks from McKinley Hatcheries in Zurich are the H and N breed and are in their second term of laying. Verlinde schedules two nine month terms of laying for his hens with about 10 week period of moulting in between. At the moment they are producing about 7,000 eggs per day. The Hensel] area farther says, "I can expect the egg production during the second term of laying to be about 10 percent lower than the first period." The present Verlinde flock of layers will be sold and the • barn cleared out in early December of this year, It will be left empty for six to seven weeks as Marcel Verlinde and his wife Christiane take a well deserved holiday, 4 new flock will be pur- chased from McKinley's in late February or early March. Ail eggs from the Verlinde farm are purchased by L.H. Gray of Ridgetown and go the the Seaf or th Co- Operative. They are picked up each Tuesday and Friday, The current price for grade "A" large eggs at the . farm is 82 cents per dozen. The deduction for the Ontario Egg Producers marketing Board is fivecents a dozen. AU the feed for the Verlinde layers is grown on his own farm with about 50 acres each in corn and mixed grain. • He has his own corn dryer, grinder and mixer, so the feed does not leave the farm. In turn the manure is returned to the fields. Verlinde' added, "I use very little fertilizer. I buy a little nitrate, that's all." , Verlinde says the cage type of layer housing is much better for disease control, He, said, "The cost of medicine for my type of housing is abouthalf of what it would be for floor housing. There is no need for worm control. He Said he is happy with the size of his present operation. "It's just what my wife and I can handle quite nicely." The Verlinde's have two daughters, Dianne and Joanne. Both are ac- complished musicians. Dianne, a grade 12 student at South Huron District High School teaches accordion and will be taking her students to Sarnia in the near future to compete in the Lambton Music Festival. Joanne also plays the accordion. She is in grade 7 at St. Boniface Separate School in Zurich) USED EQUIPMENT USED PLANTERS 8 row 600 series plate planter, fent, attach seed monitor; 4 row 770 air planter, fert. attach, gauge wheels, insect boxes, seed monitor, mech. markers; 4 row 770 air planter, fert. attach, seed monitor, mech row markers; 4 raw 770 plate planter, fert. attach, insect boxes, mech. markers; 4 row 1.H.
