CONCRETING,
BY RON FLEMING,
AG. ENGINEER
Fresh concrete and
cold weather don't mix.
Although Most building.
projects are well un-
derway . for this year,
some will likely begin .in
the coming, weeks. This
will likely mean pouring
concrete during, periods.
of cold weather"
Concrete may be safely
poured throughout the
winter as long as certain
precautions are taken,
Most of the. damage done
will be' during,placing and
. early curing. Concrete
that is, allowed to freeze
soon after placing gains
very .little strength ' and
some permanent damage
is likely to occur, Even if
the concrete is thawed
out immediately and
cured - at . higher tem-
peratures, the- concrete
-TIikeTy-' wont be as
resistant to weathering.
Also it won't be as
watertight as concrete
that has not been frozen.
The concrete should have
at least seven days to
cure when the minimum
air temperature in
contact with the concrete
is 10 degrees C.
You should not pour
concrete on .frozen
ground. The groundmay
not settle' evenly when it
thaws. This can cause
cracks, 'Also heat :is lost
from the concrete,
slowing down its rate of
hardening.
: There is no such thing
as an anti -freeze for
concrete, so don't depend
on chemicals to' prevent
freezing. High early
strength concrete can be
used as well as chemical
accelerators .. such as
calcium chloride to speed
up the setting of concrete.
• If proper care is taken,
the concrete will achieve
its potential strength no
matter what time of year
it is poured.

Murray Cardiff has
announced that ap-
plication forms for the
Federal Government's
Weaner Pig Program are
now available through his
Brussels Constituency
Office.
The Weaner Pig
Stabilization Payment
was first announced in
August bur according to
Mr, Cardiff, -it has not -so
far come to the attention
of very' many of the
eligible producers.
The Weaner
Stabilization Payment is
intended to provide
compensation to weaner
producers similar to that
paid for . finished hogs
marketed between April
1, 1979 and March 31,
1980. When the
stabilization payment for
finished hogs was an-
nounced in May, weaner
producers were excluded.
Mr. Cardiff questioned
this . exclusion in the
House of Commons,

Agriculture to include

Weaner prices dropped
from more than $40 per
piglet in the first quarter
of 1979 to about $27 in the
last quarter. Based on
five-year average prices,
weaner producers will be
paid a stabilization
payment of $1. per
weaner pig.
Weaner producers can
apply for payment on up
to_ 5,000 pigs. Application
forms have been
available for some weeks
at terminal stockyard
offices -ani-- federal

producers, however, Mr.
Cardiff has placed ad-
ditional forms. in his
office on the Main Street
in, Brussels, where they
can be picked up.
Alternatively, upon
request by phone to the
constituency office, they
will be mailed out to
producers directly.

Cardiff said. "Sixty per

Local gal takes top award in 4-H
Karen Whitmore is the
recipient this year of the
24 -project award from
the Huron County
Women's Institute. She is
the daughter of Kathleen
and Erlin Whitmore, RR4
Seaforth.
Karen began 4-H in 1970
in the Brucefield I Club
sponsored by Seaforth
W.I. Her leaders were
Audrey Coleman and
Doris Cantelon and in
Karen's 2.4 clubs, she has
only had three other club
leaders - Isabel Gibson,
Doris Carnochan and
Carolyn Van Dorp. These
dedicated ladies and
Karen's fellow club
members have been most
supportive and helpful.
Their encouragement has
given Karen the con-
fidence to attempt

OFA concerned
about food industries
The Royal Commission
on Discounts and
Allowances released its
reporty recently. The
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) and
the commission have
been working on it for
several months.
The OF A's main
concern is the growing
concentration in the food
industry. Two chains
already control nearly
half of the retail food
industry in Ontario. The
Commission recom-
mended no further
inquiries into- the food
Industry. Gerry Fortene,
first vice president of the
Huron County Federation
of Agriculture, sees this
as an invitation for the
_chains -to -grew even
larger.. This, she says,
leads to a monopoly and
could control prices.
The farmer would only
be offered one price and
the consumer would only
be offered one price. Two
or three groups would
control the selling price.
And if the farmersare not
offered a fair price, they
will discontinue
producing the product, 4
which leads to imports
and higher prices.
The larger food chain
stores can demand
discounts on bulk, which
the smaller stores cannot
get. This helps the chain
get --bigger-and-the-small-
stores
igger Lh -srn H -stores get smaller.
Ms. Fortune explains,
"We have gone through_
the exercise of appealing
to the government and
have achieved very little
by it. We did not get the
appropriate concern ,
from the government
officials."
Holsteins
are tops
A Huron County
Holstein breeder was one
of .the top exhibitors at
the Tri -County Holstein
Show held in Walkerton
on_October 16.
Cliff and Glen McNeil
of RR. 6, Goderich were
judged premier breeders
at the show that featured
135 animals shown by 30
exhibitors from Bruce,
Huron, and Grey
Counties.
As well, the McNeils
had the -breeders herd,
the best dry cow and the
best two-year-old female.
Wilbert Freeman was
the only other Huron
entry to win at the show,
bringing home the
reserve championship
male award.
Robert ` Flett of
Oshawa, who judged the
show, praised the quality
and depth of the classes,
saying that many would
win in much stronger
competition at cham-
pionship shows.
