Sixty speakers„ in- cluding several in- ternationally renowned authorities, will discuss forage production and handling. "This conference will interest all types of farmers and agribusiness representatives," says Mr. Wright. "The program is divided into general sessions about - forage production, and specific sessions about the use of forages will be aimed at hog, dairy, sheep, beef cow -calf, stocker and feedlot operators." Sponsored by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the University of Guelph, the conference is expected to attract 500 people. Commercial and educational exhibits will be on display. "One of the most in- teresting aspects of the conference is the com- bination of practical and research experience," says Mr. Wright. "Thirty of the speakers are Ontario farmers," The conference has attracted a great deal of attention outside the province, with delegates Buy Connor centre United Co-operatives of Ontario has purchased Connor Home Centre on Highway 30 n Camp- bellford.

About 45 percent of the nation's gobblers are grown in Ontario. Although turkeys are available all year, the turkey business is still a seasonal one, says Henry Orr, poultry scientist at the Ontario Agriculturral College. Thirty-five percent of the province's annual production , is geared to the Christmas season. 'However, con- sumer patterns i ;are beginning to change. The Ontario farmers protest harassment BY ADRIAN VOS In a rare display of angry emotion, 450 Ontario farmers got to their feet in support of Peter Hannam, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture president, when a newspaper article was read that said that Mr. Hannam's neigh- bours want him to shut down his corn dryer because they object to the noise of the drying fans. He emphatically declared that he was not going to let a value of $3,500 spoil and if the Ontario Provincial Police try to shut it off "woe betide them." He was not the only farmer with problems of, this nature. Russel Yungblut of Niagara said that urbanites who moved into his area have effectively stopped viable hog operations. The Fort Erie area can only ac- commodate operations of a maximum 50 hogs and Mr. Yungblut said that "no one can make a living feeding 100 hogs but politicians don't seem to know or care". Earlier a .resolution from Durham Region dealt also with the problem by asking legal protection from rural residents so they wouldn't have the right to "obstruct farmers pursuing their normal operations." average Ontario risident consumes ° about 10 pounds of turkey each year. Through promotion and advertising, growers hope to increase that figure to about 15 pounds per year by 1981. "We have noticed a shift in consumer demand from the heavy turkeys which have been the traditionalfavourite for Christmas to the smaller bird," says Prof. Orr. The smaller birds are under 10 pounds and 13 to 14 weeks of age. But when you choose your Christmas turkey, the most important consideration should be the grade, not the size of the bird, he says. Turkeys are usually sold as Grade A, Grade B, or -Canada Utility The grading is based on the conformation of the bird and the amount of flesh and fat covering. "If you are looking for a good buy, don't overlook the utility turkey," says Prof: Orr. "These birds must meet at least the Brade B requirements, but a part such as a 'leg or wing is missing." Although there is no difference in ;flavour between fresh and frozen turkey, more people seem to be shopping for fresh'birds this year than in previous years. "If the, fresh bird is tightly: wrapped, it is a good idea to open the wrap slightly," says Prof. Orr. "Both fresh and frozen turkeys should be refrigerated until you are ready to cook them.". Most of the 75 million pounds of Ontario turkey destined for Christmaq dinner has been processed. However, processing will continue the week before Christmas to meet the demand. five -acre site. "There is a growing need to expand the ser- vices available to The present 420 CO-OP members in the Camp- bellford area. This acquisition not only meets that need, but -furthermore provides an opportunity to the current Connor 1iateens to become members and share in the ownership of their lumber and building supply and fuel oil ser- vice," Keith McCleary, UCO's Central Region manager stated.

The OFA also wants to know the farmland holdings of "non-farm Canadian corporations". Without dissent it was agreed that it may be necessary to regulate non-resident ownership. Farmers also wanted to be sure when they trade in their old implement, that in case of break- dovvn, a spare implement will be available to continue operations. • The new tubeless tire on tractors and self- propelled machinery sometimes causes problems. When a sharp turn is necessary the tire ' tends to be pushed away from the rim, resulting in a flat tire. The farmers want the option of a tire with or without tube. - 5er,leg industrial, Commercial, Residential Needs 546:031:: Corporation of the TOWN OF GODERICH NOTICE RE: OVERNIGHT PARKING Please take notice that parking is prohibited on all public streets in the Town of Goderich between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. during the winter season for snow plowing purposes.
