The new deduc- tion rate is 6,:" per bushel more than the rate of 10x' which has been in effect since establish- ment of the board in 1958. In announcing the new rate, R. T. Bolton, R. R. 1, Seaford), chairman of the marketing board, said that the 16 cent de- duction will come into effect July 1st and continue through to the end of the marketing year June 30th, 1965. Mr. Bolton explained that although there is an increase in the total amount deducted from the sale of wheat the same system will apply as in the past regarding the use of the funds. One cent will be used to cover administration costs of operating the board, and 150 covering the cost of purchasing, handling and ex- porting surplus wheat, In official terms, the total deductions of 160 per bushel re- presents a one cent licence fee and a 150 stabilization fund levy. Any unused portion of the stabilization fund will be refunded to producers as in the past. :sir. Bolton said the board's decision to increase the levy follows approval by producers through a vote conducted in March at County annual wheat meetings across the province and full authority by all gov- ernment departments concern- ed. The chairman said that as stipulated at the time of the vote, the new deduction is based on 1K0 of the negotiated price of 1. 65 per bushel which was set on May :38th, As in the past, the board will purchase surplus wheat again this year, Mr. Bolton said, and nearly all of the nec- essary detail has been worked out including arrangements with the trade to buy and ex- port all surplus wheat and pro- vide flour mills with price adjustments to offset disadvan- tages in export flour markets due to the board absorbing some of the export cost on wheat. Mr. Bolton also announced that the board has again ap- pointed United Co-operatives of Ontario as agent for the coming year. With the plans set for hand- ling the new crop and with an increase in funds which will provide the necessary collater- al for hank loans, Mr. Bolton said the board will be in a May I handle your personal insurance needs — FIRE, AUTO, LIABILITY?

TIFFIN, Wingham much better position financial- ly than was the case last year when heavy surplus purchases threatened the complete struc- ture of the stabilization pro- gram. He pointed out that the board has bought over 3, 500, 000 bushels of last year's crop and that it has nearly all been sold for export. Thos repre- sents a near record for the board topped only in 1958 when a total of 3, 592, 000 bushels were handled by the board. A record volume of total wheat rnarketings has also been set with 11, 800, 000 bush- els of last year's crop being marketed to date. Total pro- duction;last year is estimated at about 18 million bushels, Mr. Bolton said, and it is ex- pected that this year's crop will exceed that of last year, and the board is gearing its program in accordance with another heavy volume year as indicated by all present con- ditions. Four Meat Sires Win P.R.I. Awards Central Ontario Cattle Breed- ing Association, Maple, was honoured this month at the an- nual Performance Registry In- ternational convention held at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Awards were presented to the associa- tion for qualifying four Golden Certified Meat Sires in less than one year. This feat is not only unequalled in P.R. I, but is es- pecially noteworthy because there are only seventeen certi- fied meat sires in all of North America. Two of the qualify- ing bulls are Charolais, two Hereford. All four are owned in partnership with Waterloo Cattle Breeding .ssociation. The bulls qualified as certi- fied meat sires by producing ten or more offspring with high av- erage beef production. Calves they had sired were fed out on a feedlot, slaughtered and car- cass scored against a rigid set of standards. Scoring was done by government graders under the Ontario Quality Meat Sire pol- icy which parallels Perform- ance Registry International standards. The scoring for carcass weight per day of age was as follows (figures used conform with American meat cutting standards): - steers sired by M. L. Chieftain, a Charolais, led with an average carcass weight of 1.51 lbs. per day of age, fol- lowed by Domino Mathew 4P (Polled Hereford) with 1.48 lbs., Silver Prince 7P (Hereford) with 1.48 lbs., and Carlos (Charol- ais) with 1,43 lbs. Other factors considered in- cluded minimum fat covering, maximum area of lean meat in the loin eye, and maximum marbling of the lean meat, Since beef cattle perform- ance is to a large extent inher- ited, sire testing is becoming more and more popular through- out the world. Beef breeders hope by using tested sires to in- crease efficiency, with an ac- companying increase in profit margin. Don McKercher Is Delegate From Huron Donald McKercher, 20, of R.

Undoubt- edly, it would have been over- looked for this honor if we had not been reminded by the Ca- nadian Co-operative Wool Growers' Association thatbur- ry fleeces are responsible for the degrading of thousands of pounds of wool. The burdock is convicted on this charge though we.should mention two accomplices, blue bur and hound's tongue, Never a serious concern in crop production, burdock, sel- dom rates the attention of weed inspectors. In fact, it is not a member of that group of 27 noxious weeds under the Ontario Weed Control Act. But, as a nuisance weed to all live- stock, and a serious loss to our annual wool clip, burdock can- not be tolerated on livestock farms. Burdock does not compete with regular crops and is sel- dom a problem in well man- aged pastures. Its occurrence is usually restricted to yards, fence lines, and margins of bush. First year plants can readily be controlled with 2, 4-D sprays, but large plants in the second year usually require the more direct treatment. This consists of cutting the plant below the crown with a sharp spade. In appearance as well as di- rect profits, livestock men will be well repaid for their efforts in cleaning up the burdock.
