Clinton News-Record, 1981-08-26, Page 12J DESCRIPTION PAGE 12 -THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1981 After days of bard work and anxious waiting, the Vanastra children were out to greet crowds from their nursery rhyme float. The float wound its way through the streets of Vanastra during Saturday's fair parade. (Shelley McPhee photo) , news farm news Retail pork and beef prices up In July, the retail price of pork increased to $1.91 per pound, 19 cents more than the June price of $1.72 per pound. The farm -gate price of pork continued to strengthen - up 21 cents from last month to $1.15 per pound. The price of beef at the retail level increased to $2.88 per pound, three cents more than the June price of $2.85 per pound. The farm -gate price also increased, up five cents to $1.93 per pound. The retail price of chicken remained the same as last month while the farm -gate price increased one cent per pound. A nine cent per pound decrease in retail price of turkey was due to `specialing'. The farm -gate price increased less than two cents per pound. The retail price of extra larte eggs increased one cent per dozen. No corresponding price increase occurred at the farm -gate level. A five -cent increase in retail dairy products was due to small increases in a variety of cheeses. Farm - gate price .of milk remained unchanged. A decrease of 24 cents in the retail price of grain pro- ducts was due mainly to `specials' on bread and to a' lesser extent on corn flakes. Somewhat lower prices for spring and - durum wheat resulted in a seven cent iii- crease in farm -gate prices of grain products. For the month of July, the retail value of the OFA Food Basket was $42.18, up 50 cents from June and $5.95 from a year ago. The farm - gate price was $22.98, an in- crease of 79 cents from June and an increase of $3.11 from July 1980. The farm retail spread has risen from $16.36 last July to $19.20 this month, an increase of 17.4 percent.

If they can get at it, the little critter will invariably chew up the insulation. Bare electrical wiring represents a major fire hazard. A short circuit could quickly reduce a lifetime's effort to a smouldering pile of rubble. When deciding on placement of electrical cables, think like a rat! If wiring is attached to smooth wall surfaces and the under- side of ceiling or beams, it is virtually impossible for rodents to get at it.

The Huron County Farm Safety Association strongly urges farmers to replace outmoded electrical systems. While a costly pro- position, revamping of barn wiring could prevent the hor- rendous financial loss of a barn fire. More recent electrical in- stallations may also pose hazardsif wires are buried behind wall panels or placed . on top of horizontal surfaces. Best bet is to check the con- dition of such wiring, and give serious consideration to relocating it on surfaces that Tractors Equipment CLINTON FORD TRACTOR SALES/SERVICE *Ford Tractors and Farm Equipment *Ford Lawn Equipment Riding Mowers, Tillers Snowblowers *Arlene Lawn and Gar- den Equlment *Pressure Washers *Portable Heaters *Scorpion Snowmobiles HIGHWAY NO. • WEST 482-3903 DRYSDALE MAJOR APPLIANCE CENTRE LTD.

And at harvest time you can see exactly where you're losing the battle. Those patches of quackgrass are rob- bing you of your yield. Plus they make combining very difficult: Worst of all, wnen you plow the quackgrass under ...it's just waiting to reappear next spring. This fall, try something different. Use Roundup®... and get a long-term control program for quackgrass. It's sure a ld easy. After your crop comes off, let quackgrass regrow the proper stage and spray with Roundup. Wait five days and then continue normal fall plowing. (You can treat even after a mild frost if quackgrass is actively growing.) If harvest is late and you don't get good regrowth this fall ...don't plow. Leave the quackgrass alone so you can treat it next spring before planting. mien usedln corilucfion withyour nor- mal seedling weed control program, you can control quackgrass for up to three years. So this fall win the war against quack - grass. For effective control of quackgrass .. nothing works like Roundup. Monsanto Monsanto Canaria her Winnipeg. Montreal, Toronto. Regina. Saskatoon.
