Again this month the Eastern Simply Region__ showed the greatest decrease, being down by more than 11 per cent compared to August 1977. On a diary year to 'date basis, total _ milk marketed to the Board is 5.5 per cent below that which was marketed in the same five month period a year ago. Estimates of Sep- tember milk marketings to the Board are showing a decrease of about seven per cent compared to September 1977. MSQ utdlization by Ontario milk producers in August was about 17 per cent lower in August 1978 compared to the year earlier figure. During the first five months of the current quota period, MSQ utilization on ra cumulative basis is close to 10 per cent less than in the same ' five month period in the last dairy year. Number of producers who sold milk to the Board in August was 12,544. This compares with 14,152 producers in August of last year. The breakdown between the Pools now shows 10,125 Group I Pool producers and 2,419 Group I1 producers. The payment per- centage in the Southern Ontario Group I Pool was 77.12 per cent, which compares to 77.59 per cent in August 1977 and 73.23 per cent in July 1978. The marginal decrease from that of a year ago is due to the ' increase in Group I Pool Quota shipments being slightly higher than the increase in Class 1 and 2 sales. Sales of fluid milk in Ontario for the month of August, on an adjusted for sales days basis, were up by 4.1 per cent over August a year earlier. Cumulative sales for the calendar year to August 31 show EC 0.9 per cent improvement compared with the same period in 1977. The Board has ap- pointed McKim Adver- tising and F.H. Hayhurst is handle its advertising accounts. McKim has been assigned responsibility for the beverage portion of the business, while Hayhurst will assume responsibility for special projects including several development projects, and the ingredient campaign. The Board has in- creased the price of Class 1 and 2 milk effective October 1, 1978. The in- crease amounts to $1.75 per hectolitre and represents a 5.9 per cent increasein zthe price of Class 1 milk to producers in the Southern Ontario Group I Pool. The new prices are as fojlows: Class 1 Southern Ontario 31.33 per hi; Class 1 Northern Ontario 32.62 per hl; and Class 2,30.33 per hi. ._....._.. _... The. three sitting Board Members, Messrs.

Those that did come out to the open house took advantage of their Weeds costly in Huron Poor weed control has cost Huron County far- mers at least $1.5 million during the past year. Weed control in 1978 was probably the poorest in the seventies. Part of this is due to weather but the main part is due to management. In other words', most of these weeds can be controlled .and they are identified, if the right herbicide is used at the proper'rate and time. The 1978 crop is history, but we can start now on the 1979 crop„ by iden- tifying weed problems now and RECORDING these problems. One thing is certain, many fields have weeds going to seed this year. • These seeds are capable of costing more money next year. In fact, it will take two or three years of ex- cellent weed control to effectively, reduce the number of vyeed seeds that are returned to the land in 1978. Next year's corn rootwor,tn control can start now by recording fields that have a high adult count. Adult corn rootworm lay their eggs in August and September. Any fields that have high adult counts now should have a rootworm control next year. Adults of this insect eat corn silks so that it is easy to identify fields that have high adult numbers.
