The formula, taking into account _producer costs and consumer abil- Ity to pay, is somewhat similar to the formula method currently employed to establish the price of whole milk in Ontario. Some 275 delegates and guests attended the annual meeting. Butter oil currently being im- ported into Canada and bypassing the Export -Import Permits Act is a serious threat to the dairy in- dustry, Toma Byrns, president of the Ontario Cream Producers Mar- keting Board, told the annual meeting. S. J. Chagnon, assistant deputy minister of agriculture for Canada, told the annual meeting that Can-• ada will have to increase its pro- duction of milk in 1958 in order to meet domestic demand for milk and milk products. The expected butter production in Canada in 1957, Mr. Chagnon said, will be 296 million pounds, which will fall short of expected consumption by 34 million pounds. This 34 million pound deficit will be reflected in a likely drop in butter stocks held in storage by the Canadian GoVern- ment from 88 million pounds at the end of 1956, to 54 million pounds at the end of this year. Farmers are not willing to re- main the "poor relatives" in the Canadian economy until 1980, when, as predicted by the Gordon Commission, farmers will finally enjoy a standard of living equival- ent to other segments of our economy, Gordon Greer, president of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture,, told the annual meeting. Charles McInnis, president of the Ontario Hog Producers Association, urged those attending the annual meeting to support all marketing groups who have to hold a vote in the coming year. so 0-0 Preparing Farm Machinery For Winter Storage Since the average farmer today has more money invested in farm machinery than ever before, it is important that it be given proper care. Because of the seasonal use of many machines, most farm ma- chines /list out rather than wear out, states P. H. Southwell, Depart- ment of Engineering Science, On- tario Agricultural College. Most of the rust on machines collects during etorage. Any machine with bare metal parts that polish in use—such as plows, discs, and other tillgge ma- chines—should be specially treated before storage. The most effective way to prevent rust during storage is to spread a thin layer of rust - preventative on the wearing sur- faces. Such a product is sold, by most of the reputable oil com- panies, and is more effective for its 1111111•11MINW '<MN, competition scores for you There'elcompetition when more than10,000 men representing more than 300 companies match their skills in the -search for new oil fields.

Gasoline engines which are not, used for several months at a time --such as those on combines and forage harvesters—can deteriorate rapidly if not protected from in- ternal corrosion. Engine corrosion due to acids in the oil usually causes more damage than does normal use. Before being put into storage, the engine should be run until the engine oil is hot, the oil then drained, and rust , inhibitor added to the crankcase according to the manufacturer's directions. The engine should then be turned over a few revolutions, if possible by hand. and rust inhibitor sprayed into each spark plug hole. to help prevent rusting of rings and cylind- er Walls. Then the engine should be sealed by replacing the spark plugs and pluggingthe air intake, exhaust pipe, and crankcase breath- er in oily rags. WateNin the radiator and engine block should of course be drained. With gasoline engines, drain the gasoline out of the fuel tank, fuel connections, and carburetor to pre- vent the formation of gm. Such gum, if allowed to form, can plug a carburetor or cause sticking valves when the engine is re -start- ed after a period of idleness. With diesel engines, drain the diesel fuel from the engine and put rust in- hibitor into the fuel system. Although following such steps may appear to be troublesome when putting the machine away into storage, it will mean much better service -and longer fife from it when it is taken out next spring. 0 0 0 FEDERAL ELECTION COSTS IAN HURON CAMPAIGN The campaign of A.

Leaving a few grains in the rice bowl indicates you •would like more. It's a reflection on the hostess if you limit yourself to one bowl. Two or three bowls are preferable. At the end of the meal, be sure that not a grain of. rice remains, as that is considered poor form. 0 0 0 ENGLISH EMBLEM.
