T -A photo Optimistic for high yields By ADRIAN VOS Ton upon ton of seed grain is going into the soil at this time and every right thinking farmer is optimistic that this will be the year of high yeilds and at the same time high prices. He has to think that way or he will get discouraged and give up. It doesn't work that way very often, for if the yield in our country is high, it usually is the same in other grain producing countries and we are faced with an oversupply, which in turn depresses prices. Despite the cries of those that are really concerned about feeding the unfortunates of this world, high yields and high supplies do not avert starvation. The price of one ton of wheat for instance, even if it is way below our production cost, is in many cases more than the breadwinnersiin some countries earn In a whole year. So if they could buy it, it would still leave their families starving on an insufficient amount of low protein rations with nothing left for clothing and housing and birth - control devices. An answer would in many cases be to supply them with know-how, quality seed and fertilizer as well as simple hand - operated machinery and irrigation systems. In thaFcase they could often feed their families and sell surpluses to their own country men for clothing and housing. If at the same time we give their countrymen grain at no or little cost, it ruins their internal market and our well-intentioned gesture will do more harm than good. This type of help should be Farmers don't want city teens Ontario's agriculture ministry is unable to expand its program to sand city teen-agers to farms for summer visits because there are not enough farmers willing to take them, Agriculture Minister William Stewart said. Two of every three young persons applying for the program this summer will be refused admission to the ministry's junior agriculturist program, he said. There were more than 600 applicants but only 200 farmers were willing to participate. Mr. Stewart was responding to a question from Murray Gaunt (L—Huron-Bruce) during debate on 1975-76 budget estimates of the ministry. The junior agriculturalist program accepts applications from teen-agers aged 16 and 17 years. Once accepted, the city dwellers spend nine weeks from the third week of June to the end of August on farms throughout Ontario. given, but only in emergencies arising out of natural disasters. The cry of some vegetarian organizations to condemn the eating of meat because that it takes away grain from the starving in the world is therefore completely irresponsible. Even if no more grain was fed to beef and hogs and poultry, it wouldn't put an ounce of bread on a table in the Sahely or in Bangladesh. Dr. Bruce Taylor, an animal scientist at the University of Arizona has come up with some interesting figures on beef. A ton of corn contains 160 pouns of cereal protein. This ton fed to cattle produces 112 pounds of animal protein. If you convert this in protein utilized by the Ready for Pork Congress Last year in its first year of operation, the Ontario Pork Congress reported an attendance of over 6,000 from all areas of the pork industry. This year, with only minor modifications, the Ontario Pork Congress. to be held June 17, 18 and 19 at the Stratford Coliseum, anticipates an at- tendance of over 10,000. The three-day event brings together representatives of every sector of the pork industry; from producers, both commercial and purebred, to equipment dealers and pharmaceutical companies, enabling them to share ideas, information and technical ad- vancements. An expansion of an excellent educational program and several improvements in services available throughout the three days have been planned for the 1975 event. More than 75 exhibitors will be displaying products and services in over 14,000 square feet of exhibit space. On June 17, the show and sale of purebred gilts and boars will be held. Station -tested boars and home -tested purebred stock will be evaluated and sold. In the evening, a junior barrow show will take place. The feeder pig show and sale, June 18, is the only show of its kind in Canada, and feeder pigs weighing from 40 to 60 pounds will be judged and sold. For Market pig day, June 19, nominated barrows that have been weighed on test at the end of April will be weighed off test and judged and sold. An educational program will be held each morning from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Congress organizers have planned some excellent topics and speakers for these sessions, including Dr. W. P. Switzer, of Iowa State University, one of the world's leading authorities on rhinitis and pneumonia.

I would rather eat meat than corn. How about you? New control for eggs The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency is establishing a national system of production and marketing controls, CEMA Manager Max Roytenberg ' of Ottawa said recently. Mr. Roytenberg said the main stumbling block is distrust some provinces have for others. "What they're not sure about is that everyone else is playing by the same rules," he said. Federal and provincial agriculture ministers have signed an agreement giving the CEMA more power in relation to provincial marketing boards, but some of the provincial boards have not yet signed, he said. The agreement would provide for an expansion of CEMA's inspection and monitoring system to ensure that farmers keep the hen population within established quotas. CEMA also would achieve 1 Hill says 'no fears' Provincial government fears that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture Income Protection Plan will result in a deluge of farm products and a too -high pay -out from the proposed in- demnity fund, are unfounded, Gordon Hill, OFA President announced in Toronto Friday. (The Ontario Minister of Agriculture has expressed concern that our plan could only work on the basis of total supply management with all the onerous rules and regulations that might entail. The OFA has considered the problems of possible over- production and has advanced specific proposals to take care of that situation, Hill pointed out. "It is not our intention to en- courage overproduction that would prove a millstone around farmers' neck," Hill says. "Neither is it our intention to short the market and hike prices to consumers. "The OFA believes that the best way to forestall over- production is to insure the profitability of all farm products and thus avoid the switching that takes place in response to market prices and market demand. The in-and-outers, who try to catch the price peaks, swell production and upset production and marketing patterns. The plans must provide equitable profit to producers of all farm products." The OFA's proposed Income Protection Plan pFlovides for a number of ways to avoid disastrous market upsets: There can be a limit on the amount of product supported; The amount of product sup- ported can be increased annually to meet market demand; The amount of indemnity payment can be increased or decreased to stimulate or dampen production; The market price can decline without interference to increase product use; The short -fall in cost of production will be made up by indemnities from the protection plan; The product of vertical in- tegrators can be excluded from the plan. "The OFA considers that these measures will work for most products to avoid either over- supplying or undersupplying the market, Hill says. "If these measures don't work for a particular product then quotas could be considered. Producers would have to be consulted. Producers would have to decide whether to produce an greater accuracy in being able to report on all production and movement through the licensing of producers, dealers, graders and vendors. Mr. Roytenberg would not estimate when CEMA and the provinces would be operating under the new plan. unlimited quantity and lose money or produce what the market can abosorb and make a profit. "The objective of OFA's in- come protection proposals is to supply market requirements with quality products at all times." 1 STEWART SEED CORN It may be later than you think ... we've got the corn" STEWART'S EARLY HYBRIDS Phone Today 236-4784 RALPH GEIGER RR 2 ZURICH USED SWATHERS Owatonna No. 29 with conditioner IHC 201 10 -foot with conditioner IHC 201 12 -foot with conditioner New Holland 905 with conditioner Owatonna with 8 -foot header N.
