MORE PASTURE PAY-OFF WITH NEW CO-OP PASTURE CATION Lush spring and summer pastures provide adequate bulk and protein but are low in energy. On pasture alone, a cow can produce only 30 pounds of milk per day because of her limited capacity to consume a sufficient quantity of grass. Additional energy is required to maintain body weight and to attain maximum milk production. The new CO-OP Pasture Ration provides this all-important extra- energy that is required to supplement spring and summer pastures. Feed CO-OP Pasture Ration and you will get more from your pasture ... more from your herd. IMPORTANCE OF FEEDING CO-OP MINERAL IN SUMMER Mineral Consumed by cattle is utilized three times more efficiently In the summer than is that consumed in winter, Much of the mineral required for winter milk production must come from the cow's system. Consequently, mineral build-up in the animal's body must occur while she is on pasture. For a healthy, profit-making herd, feed Co-op Cattle Mineral, free- choice, throughout the entire year.

After introducing legislation to provide for minimum stand- ards he urged the Ontario Gov- ernment not to ignore this situ- ation wherein the lives of peo- ple are laid on the line and of- ten sacrificed for the profit of the motor car industry. This week I introduced a resolution which would have the effect of amending the Farm Products Marketing Act to provide that before a local board is dissolved, public hear- ings be held by a judge in or- der to determine the facts in issue and where the hearings justify dissolution of the local board, that an election be held within 60 days of the dissolu- tion to elect the producer- members of a new local board. This resolution was born be- cause of the government's ac- tion in respect to placing the bean board in trusteeship. In Ontario, we are utilizing the system of marketing boards in selling agricultural products to a much greater degree than any other province in Canada; 36 farm products are being marketed through 18 marketing plans operating under The Farm Products Marketing Act. Ap- proximately 75c,'," of producers are organized under the various marketing plans through which more than 60c) of the total val- ue of agricultural production is sold within the province.

IRVINE Dairy Division, Kemptville Agricultural School The methods now used on many dairy farms for cooling and storing milk differ greatly from those of a few years ago, in that bulk tanks have replaced milk cans. This change has been highly beneficial insofar as milk quality is concerned. Bacteria counts are lower and flavor quality as a rule is often better than was formerly the case. One aspect of these changing methods has an undesirable ef- fect on milk quality, and re- sults from the fact that bulk tank milk is picked up every other day. Thus half of each lot is 24 hours older than would be the case if the milk were be- ing handled in cans. This tendency for milk to be held in storage for longer periods also occurs in present-day sys- tems of distributing milk. What this all adds up to is that if mil is to retain its fresh, appealing characteristics, special pre- cautions must be taken to pro- duce milk with the best possibl keeping quality. Flavor defects which, if pre- sent in a more intense form, could be described as stale, oxidized or rancid, occasional- ly develop in milk after it is BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. Huron-Bruce Minimum government stan- dards for automobile tires were urged in the Legislature by Fred Young, M.P.P. Yorkview. Mr. Young stated there are abso- lutely no legal standards for tires in Ontario. "There is no ing for several years over a number of points which the Farm Products Marketing Board insisted should be done in re- spect to the Bean Growers Mar- keting Board. These points were: 1. The bean board had fail- ed to get the best possible pric- es for beans. 2. It had no intention of ev- er separating the board and the company which had been sub- sidized by monies collected through the check-off system. 3. It had been losing out on a very lucrative market in Great Britain. The purpose of the resolu- tion was to provide a check on government power in dealing with the growers' marketing board where disagreements have arisen. The intent was to build appeal procedures into the Farm Products Marketing Board Act where the Farm Products Mar- keting Board and a local board are in dispute and the local board is in danger of being placed in trusteeship. This me- thod of appeal would apply on- ly in a dispute between the Farm Products Board and the local board and this method of appeal should not be extended beyond this. A grower who feels he has had an injustice done to him by a local board has already clear- ly defined methods of appeal. It has been suggested that a standing committee of all the chairmen of the various mar- keting boards be appointed to hear and resolve disputes aris- ing between the Farm Products Marketing Board and the local board. held cold for a few days. These defects become evident spon- taneously and are not related to the growth of bacteria or lack of cleanliness. They are like- ly to become more serious in the future as our methods of handling milk involve longer periods of storage. Such de- fects are more of a problem in late winter and early spring. Factors known to hasten the development of these defective flavors include rations lacking in carotene, exposure of the milk to even minute amounts of copper, iron, or brass, and exposure to light. Foaming of warm milk in pipelines and ex- cessive agitation are causes of rancid flavor development. Milk from certain individual cows in the herd is often worse than from others in displaying these defects; old cows or those in advanced lactation are usual- ly at fault. Guarding milk against such defects is part of the job of the. conscientious milk producer. Good flavor is the big value factor which milk producers must promote in order to ex- pand markets. The best place to start guarding quality is right in the cow stable and the milk house. Austin L. Parnall, award-winning corn grower of Drumloo, says ATRAZINE 65W "the best thing that has happened to the corn business!" "Atrazine is a good product to work with because it is so safe," according to Austin Parnall, who plants 600 acres of corn. "We've never had any damage with it. In '65, we used Atrazine with oil and sprayed around the middle of June when the weeds were up about an inch. It burned off the weeds pretty fast and gave good control through to harvest with no culti- vations." Stressing the safety of Atrazine. Mr. Parnall reports: "We've never had any problem from residues when following treated corn with soybeans on my farm." Mr. Parnall goes on to say "In the future we will not use oil with the Atrazine because for the best results I believe Atrazine should be used as soon after planting as possible (early May) for more moisture."
