Most spring pasture and first cut hay has been good, BUT with BO' - 90° weather and limited rainfall, forage stands are getting dryer, tougher and less nutritious. They begin to lack not only protein, but also VITAMIN "A" for proper roughage digestion by the rumen. Avoid a drop in production and a loss in your milk cheque during summer months. Switch to SHUR-GAIN Dairy Feed fortified with Vitamin "A." SHU (R•GAIN WINGHAM FEED MILL 441468,40.0 DIAL 357-3060 dairy feeds WINGHAM,ONT. CO-OP* Pasture Ration supplies the missing nutrients in Spring/Summer Feeding The type of feeding program you use in May and June will greatly determine the milk production you get through the summer, Lush spring pastures provide dairy cattle with protein, vitamins and minerals, but lack sufficient energy to keep up milk production and body weight. That's why it pays to plan now for a feeding program that will supply each cow with the nutrients missing in spring pasture. If you have a carry-over of home grown grains, ask for inform- ation on blending these grains with CO-OP Concentrate to make a suitable ration for feeding on pasture. Contact your Co-operative today for complete details on the profitable use of CO-OP Concentrate. BELGRAVE CO-OP ASSOC, WINGHAM 351-2711 BRUSSELS 388-W-10 RESEARCH PROVED BY UNITED CO-OPERATIVES OF ONTARIO A survey completed earlier this week by the Canadian Council on 4-H Clubs revealed that members of 4-H in Can- ada have sold over 16,000 slow moving vehicle signs during the past eighteen months. L. J. Murphy, Hamilton, president of the Canadian Coun- cil on 4-H Clubs stated recent- ly, "The problem of the slow moving vehicle on the highway is mounting. Canada's farm community is becoming in- creasingly concerned about this critical trend and fatalities re- The National Safety League of Canada has issued a proposed schedule of themes and activi- ties for Farm Safety Week, to be observed across Canada be- tween July 24 and 30. Opening Sunday, July 24, the NSL schedule goes like this: Sunday -- Reverence for Life: take time to care. Recog- nize moral responsibility in sav- ing life and preventing suffer- ing through mishaps that could be avoided by a minimum of thought and planning. Monday -- Safety Begins at Home: thorough check-up of the farm home; eliminate hazard- ous situations. Practise safety while doing housework. Check home appliances for danger spots. Clean out rubbish. Re- hearse a family escape routine in case of fire. Tuesday -- Farm and Home Che nicals; read labels and dir- ect ins. Know antidotes. At- t“ clearly-written labels where needed. Dispose of emp- ty containers and unused por- tions. Wednesday -- Prevent Falls: Repair or replace unsafe ladders, steps, stairs; remove tripping hazards. Clean mud, grease where they appear. Check lighting for stairways and steps. Provide handrails where neces- sary. Thursday -- Rural Road Safe- ty: practise courtesy and basic rules of safe driving. Check on railroad crossings and unmarked intersections. Clear obstruc- tions at corners for good visi- bility. Exercise care in turns to driveways and exits. Friday - Machinery: Check all machinery for safe operat- ing condition. Sec that guards and safety devices are where they should be, Stop machines before unclogging, servicing or adjusting. Refuel only cool ery suiting from accidents between slow farm vehicles and faster moving highway traffic." Mr. Murphy lauded 4-H Club mem- bers for their initiative and sub- stantial contribution toward farm safety education through the distribution of the signs. The slow moving vehicle sign has been adopted by pro- vincial farm safety organiza- tions and the National Safety League, of Canada as positive identification of farm vehicles to approaching motorists. It is considered one of the most ef- gines. Practice safe tractor op- eration. Keep fire extinguish- ers and first-aid kits on all self- propelled equipment. Install slow-moving vehicle warnings where required. Saturday -- Recreation Safe- ty: Practise special care in swimming and boating. Teach youngsters how to swim. Safe- guard farm ponds from child- ren. Handle and store guns and ammunition properly. Give special attention to safety on hunting, fishing, picnic, and other trips. Farmers are warned that al- lowing young children to drive a tractor or other large piece of farm equipment can be a dang- erous business. In spite of pic- tures in the press showing young children driving farm machin- ery, this practice is extremely dangerous. Even a sixteen- year-old will find trouble in operating the heavy machinery. When safety procedures be- come a habit, accidents on the farm are decreased. Booming Meat Market in Japan The demand for meat in Ja- pan is growing rapidly. While Japanese people have historical- ly been small meat eaters, there is every indication that this country could become a sizeable market for meat pro- ducts in future years. New Zealand is Japan's big- gest meat supplier and last year provided nearly half of the na- tion's total import requirement. This year's meat sales from New Zealand to Japan are ex- pected to rise by more titan 40%, Most of the meat pres- ently imported by Japan is mut- ton, but there is also a growing demand for beef, Schedule Safety For Farm Week fective means of reducing farm accidents on the highways. Constructed of aluminium, the sign is surfaced with fluor- escent orange for daylight re- cognition and red reflective material for identification at night. It is visible in all wea- ther conditions. The sign is portable and can be moved eas- ily from one implement to an- other. This form of organized ef- fort by groups of 4-H members, in support of farm, home and highway safety education, is planned as a continuing activi- ty, in addition to regular 4-H programs at the local level.
