RADIO FORUMS DECIDE The following is 'a,steurnary of the findings sant to the Ontario Perm' Radio Forum Office .following the broadcast of January 6 The subject of the meeting was "Agriculture is a Risky Business!' Fifteen :Forums in Huron C'ounky repeated meetings for that date. Farming is a risky business. There was • no disagrees ent about that among Ontario Famine on January 6. The first question asked was "What are tate emit risks you face in lyour farming operations?" After reading the repaies one wonders why farmers don't give up and find a nice safe job Iike testing atomic bombs. Risks include: "The problem Of getting repairs for broken maehin ery," mentioned by Omagh in Halton; "horses going through had ice and drowning" cohnes from Ufford in Muskoka; and "Power failures have created azarcls" in the Cranston area in Halidimand. However the really serious risks, in ender of Me' portance are: fluctuating markets,, disease, weather, ,posts. To these can be added the dangers of fire, short- age of labour, flood, theft (noted Particularly by chicken raisers). Sickness in the home, remarks a few groups, can be even more serious than disease in the barn. The replies reveal that no one could be more conscious of the perils of weather, disease, and insects, than Forum members and yet they place the risk of not getting a fair price for their products above all these. Bromley rn Renfrew harks' back to the depres- sion years and reckons it was worse than weather, disease of-livetock, weed or fire. Moreover there's a feeling prices and markets are cone trobable. Floor prices, government regulations, cost of production fig- ures, contracts, are ,the answer, they claire. 'C'ontrary to the old saying, forum members think something could . be done `about the 'weather" .. It could be more accurately predicted and for longer periods ahead, Given a reliable forecast for four or five clays, weather ,risks - could be partly avoided. Is government regulation desir- able in the risks mentioned? Forum members are quite in favour of regulation if such regulation will les- sen the risks of agriculture. Indeed their think more assistance is needed. Forums are clamouring for more help in the control of insects. Sprayers should be more readily available. It's claimed more stringent regulations would help to wipe out Mastitis, Bang's disease, and Warble Flies. Would insurance schemes help in a region subject to crop failures? A slight majority (54 per cent) answer- ed this one in the affirmative. 19 per cent wer against the .idea while the ethers were undecided, offered important qualifins tu the question didcation't applyor tohotheghtir area. URGED TO SECURE CHICKS' SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER r Britain demands more fall eggs, according to Dr. F. N. Mareellus, head of the Department of Poultry, Ontario A,griculttnal 'College, Guelph. J. A. Peacock, director of egg sup - supplies for the B•idtish Ministry of Food, on his recent visit to Canada, emphasized that a larger proportion of oue eggs must be supplied an the fall season for the British market. The problem is not as great, per- haps as it may at.first appear. It simply means that if each purchaser of chicks will take delivery four to six weeks cannier than in the past, sufficient pullets would be fully de- veloped, ready to start laying early in September to supply the 1,000;000 cases called for and possibly an ad ditional, 500,000 as well. This idea of early chicks is not new, 05 more and snore people have been getting theirchicks earlier each. year, from April or May to March, February, of even Januatiy. It is possibly true that a January chick may cost slightly more to rear than a May bird with respect to feed, fuel and housing. It is also true that winter -hatched birds develop into bet- ter birds thanthose of late hatebos; the pullets lay from one to three dozen more eggs in their first year; -tality ,in the growing birds will of be over half that common in late ay and .June -hatched birds. There also a premium of at least six its a dozen on all eggs supplied m .September to January under the esent contract. 13 ALIT V - CALL Clinton 114 Chick Starter To get the most out of 'Those Critical First Seven Weeks, Feed a Fresh Well Balanced Chick : Starter.
