ADVICE
NORTHERN PROGRAMS
GET EXTENSION
Two programs to improve the
competitiveness of the livestock in-
dustry in northern Ontario are to
be extended for another three
years, says Minister of Agriculture
and Food Jack Riddell.
The Northern Ontario Livestock
Transportation Assistance Policy
provides grants to defray the high
transportation costs northern pro-
ducers must pay for breeding
stock.
With the renewed program, the
level of assistance increases from
331/ to 60 per cent of the transpor-
tation cost for animals purchased
outside of Ontario. Dairy bulls and
beef females are no longer eligible
for the program.
The second program, the
Livestock Improvement Program,
is designed to redress the im-
balance caused by the high prices
northern producers must pay for
breeding stock.
Grants of 20 per cent of the pur-
chase price are paid for
performance -tested beef bulls,
rams and boars, and breed -class
dairy cows or heifers. The total
amount a farmer can receive over a
three-year period increases to a
maximum of $2,500 from $1,500.
The new program covers
livestock purchased outside On-
tario and eliminates the maximum
grant on individual animals.❑
EGG -LAYING
CONTESTS
In 1919, egg -laying contests were
introduced at the federal agricul-
ture department's experimental
farms across the country. The goal
was to promote better flock
management and produce more
eggs per hen. In that first year, the
average was 122 eggs per hen. Six
years later, it was 172 eggs, an in-
crease of 40 per cent. But the
record came in 1926 at the Agassiz
Experimental Farm in British Col-
umbia. That year, a bird owned by
the University of British Columbia
set a world record when it shelled
out 351 eggs in 365 days. The cur-
rent annual average, nation-wide,
is 247 eggs. ❑
