Two -price system ends For the wheat crop beginning Aug. 1, 1988, wheat will be sold at North American market prices for domes- tic use. This will end the two -price wheat system that has been in place for 21 years. The effect of, two -price wheat sys- tem has varied over the years. Most frequently it has been a subsidy to consumers and occasionally, as in the last two years, a subsidy to farmers. The two -price system caused wheat for domestic purposes to be sold below or above world price and the difference was variously borne by producers, consumers or govern- ment. The difference between world and domestic price will be met through government funds for the 1 789 crop year afterwhia ,the benefits will terminate. Thereafter, much of the benefit will be taken up by the Agricultural Stabilization Act. Possible amend- ments to that act could also increase payments. Consumers should note each dol- lar increase or decrease in wheat prices should translate into a 3:15 to 4.5 cent decrease or .increase in bread prices. 4 ra IR* tit COI 14.4 Lorne Lambkin is finally getting some time to travel but after he comes back, anyone needing an experienced hand at trucking or guitar strumming is encouraged to give him a call. At 65, Mr. Lambkin is retiring from his job with the Howick Town- ship road department but the life- longarea resident says . he'll be darned if the retirement will slow him down. First on the agenda is a trip via airplane to British Columbia where he and Mrs. (Gertrude) Lambkin along with one of their daughters will rent a vehicle and tour Canada's Western provinces. • Though looking forward to visiting that part of the country, Mr. Lambkin isn't too keen on flying. Having been employed as an airplane mechanic back on the old Hudson bombers in the 1940s, he has first hand knowledge of how those vessels worked and as he explains, it wasn't impressive. "Orange crates with motors in them," is how he describes one of the ancient air vessels. Back in 1976, after having lived on various parcels of land around the milk plant outside .of Fordwich, the Lambkins moved into the village where. Mr-, Lambkin took a job with the road department. While his specialty was welding,` his work with the department eluded operating the grader, driving. trucks, snowplowing and general maintenance. Mr. Lambkin says his co-workers were "a heck of a bunch of good guys to work with. Iran certainly going hi miss them." For 20 years before joining the road department crew Mr. Larie kin was owner of a fleet of gravel and milk delivery trucks. • Driving again part-time is some- thing omething he doesn't discount as part of hisfuture plans. The avid Country and Western guitar player may also speed more time freelancing those But for now, all talk of getting • back into the labor market is pre- mature and Mr. Lambkin's Work will be restricted to working for honeydew". "I'm afraid it'll be honey do this and honey do that now that I'm at home." It seems Mrs. Lambkin, a for- midable bowler,retired from the lapes last year but is now itching to get back. Seeing that her husband will have all this time on his hands, maybe she figures to increase his workload at home and take a bit of .a breather herself. Testing available ,for forage crops Because of the success of last year's forage crop testing program, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will again be placing eight summer students throughout On- tario from June 30 to Sept. 2 . The program is designed to assist producers in getting their 'feed analyzed for nutrient content. Be- '- cause forages such as hay, haylage and corn silage tend to be most vari- able in composition, it is these feeds which need to be tested most Feedscan be anlyzed for dry mat- ter, crude protein, calcium, phos- phorus, magnesiwn and potassium content. In addition, hay ha Mage and corn silage +nubs°will test- ed for their acid') tergent'fi eeon•- tent and an estimate of their -energy. content. - To arrange for a forage crop tester to visit your farm in Huron or Perth counties) contact JiM.;Wright at the Huron County OMAF Office at 482- 3428 or I -80046541M In Waterloo County, call Arnold Humph at the Wellington County OMAF Office at talents. 84e-0941 or 1-800.265. rat young B p e wh� litera� :the night % ay Oa t last Ya of Awl {p[� menci g: at 7 p.m. a *hour dance -a-. thuh, + r ,anized by loyal dung people. get underway at the HWick .
