If the majority of producers are not involved in representing a collective point of view either at the provincial or the federal level, it is possible that a loud voice of dissent is raised after a supposedly official viewpoint from the producers is stated. Then, it's quite likely that the powers that be will ignore the producers altogether because of public disagreement among pro- flucers. .

AU of 18 Master Breeders honored are from Ontario A Master Breeder shield is the highesthonor that a Canadian Holstein breeder can win. Eighteen of these shields were presented this year by the Holstein -Friesian Association of Canada. •Assoc. approves \ova transplants for Holsteins Approval for the registration of animals born as the result of ova transplants Was given at the annual meeting of the Holstein - Friesian Association of Canada held in Toronto. The Association will require that all animals registered as a result of ova transplants be blood typed, also the sire and dam, in order to confirm the par- entage. The technique of ova trans- plants is still in the experimental stages, but enough work has been done to indicate that it is possible, although surgery is required and it is expensive. A valuable animal may be induced to produce a number of ferti1i2ed ova which are then transplanted to cows of lesser value where they are carried' till birth. While the re- cipient mother carries the calf, the actual inheritance is that Of the donor mother and the sire to which she is bred. Thus the valuable donor becomes the mother of many more calves than would otherwise be possible. While there would appear to be, no indication that use of oVa transplants will be practised on a laile scale in the near future, it is well to remember that in 1940 the. Association passed a similar by. law to permit the registration Of calves born as a result of artl- fieiro itelerei-Itionand not 71 cent of All calves registered Were artificially conceived. Amongst this group of re- cipients was M. D. Wingrove, Campbellville, who at 31 years 'of • age is the youngest person ever to receive a Master Breeder shield. \ Ile took over the foundation of his present herd from his father at the age of 21. A recurring theme in the suc- cess stories of these men is the development of their herds through the descendants of one or two foundafion cows. Geneticists may agree that the sire and dam contribute equally to an animal's inheritance, but the experience of these Master Breeders would seem to confirm the belief of most veteran cattlemen that the mother is much more important than the sire. The Master Breeder herds are almost invariably family farms in the truest sense, with many members of the. family involved in running the operation. In some cases the farm and herd has been in the family for several genera- tions.,M. D. Wingrove, for in- stance, is the fifth generation of his family on the same farm. In two cases members of suc- cessive generations of the same family have each qualified for a Master Breeder shield. These are '1'. Ray Clarkson, Brampton, and' Kelvin McIntosh, Embro, of the firm of Alex McIntosh & Son, both of whose fathers had previously received shields. °tilers qualifying for the Master Breeder shield were Murdoch Arkinstall, Dunvegan ; Albert E. Cornwell, Norwich; Frank Coveney, Hastings; Dennis Bros., St. Thomas; Earl Doris, Peterborough; Clarence Eby, Ayr; Cordon Galloway, Wiarton; Gerald G. Hunt, New- burgh; Gordon W.

Each variety has • its _strengths „and weaknesses which should be matched to growing conditions, harvesting techniques, and feed requirements. - The tower than normal certi- fied seed supply for 1973 is due to poor harvesting conditions and, higher returns on the feed grain Market. Some of the potential 'seed failed to meet the extensive test requirements of the Cana- dian Seed Growers' Association and the Canada Department of Agriculture.

Chicago grain prices are up TORONTO (TIPS) — The re- cent U.S. dollar devaluation may be a help to growers of feed grains. In Chicago futures on soy- beans, soybean oil and soybean meal rose sharply with the news of the devaluation on the dollar and March futures hit an all time high of $5.73 a bushel for soy- beans. March futures on meal went up to $201.30 a ton, the re- port said. Wheat prices were down, how- ever, as speculation mounted concerning lower prices of wheat the government is expected to sell at a later time. But the ad- vantage is somewhat in question as the 10 per cent devaluation of the U.S. dollar is expected, to be followed loosely by the Canadian WELLINGTON BEEF ASSOCIATION RE-ELECTS R ALPH PARKINSON Ralph Parkinson was re-elect- ed president of the Wellington County Beef Improvement Association for a one-year term of office.

More Perth County farmers re- ceived more Farm Credit Cor- poration loan money in 1972 than in any year since- 1967, S. P. ,Bryans, credit advisor for FCC says. During the past year, 103 loans were approved totalling $3,315,200, or an average of $32,186 per loan. The average age of the borrower was 37.7, lower than last year,. Age ranges and number of loans in percentages: 35 and under, 42 per cent, 35-44,27 per cent, 45 and over, 31 per cent. Changes.made in the Farm Credit Act during. 1972 will see the raising of the maximum to one farmer to 4100,000 from the previous $40,000 under part 2 of the act; and $55,000 under part 3. However, a maximum of 75 per cent of appraised farm value still applies for part 2 loans. The maximum for one farming operation at $100,000." ments, 11.4 per cent; equipinent and livestock, 3 plecent; re- financing existing FCC mort- gages of borrowers who atained increased loans for variots pur- poses, 13 per cent; payment of other mortgages and liabilities, 21.6 per cent; and other purposes, 1 per cent. The 'interest rate for new loans is reviewed on April 1 and Oct, 1 each year. The current rate is 7 per cent, Mr. Bryans says. When - a mortgage is signed, the interest rate in that mortgage renews constant until the mortgage is paid off and does not fluctuate with the current rate. Qualify at 18 The age requirement of 2r years has been dropped from the act to allow young farmers of 18 , years and over to enter into a mortgage with FCC. Mr. Bryans says this change should facilitate family farm arrangements by joint mortgages with their fathers or other mortgages. Supervised part 3 loans of up to 75 per cent of the appraised value of farm and chattels may be, made to farmers under 45 years of age. Special provision is made under this part for loans in excess of 75 per cent of farm Assets where the farmer is under- 35 years of age and management is 'considered well above average. FCC in Perth has two offices. The north office in Listowel takes care of Wallace, Elma and Mor- nington townships, and -Mr. Bryans' office in the Federal Building in Stratford handles the remainder of the county. Loan Purposes The purposes of loans approved hype Stratford office were: land purchases including repayment of vendors' FCC mortgages, 50 per cent; buildings and improve- Composite Rate When a new loan is approved for a borrower, who has an exist- ing FCC mortgage, the interest rate in the new loan is a compo- site rate based on the rate, amount and remaining term of the existing loan being repaid by the new loan, and the current rate, amount and term of the new loan. Not all farmers are aware of this, Mr. Bryans says, and some still think they will lose the ad- vantage of their present 5 per cent funds if they apply for an in- creased loan for expansion or other purposes.
