Size and Location of Fame Plants Have Not Been Decided By Officials (By J. Carl Hemingway) With harvest coming along with the usual rush, I can only hope that the weather is as fav- ourable when you read this as when I am writing it. Recently a group of interes- ted Co -Operators from the US sat in on a meeting with the "Fame" board of directors. These men have been operating a Co-op hog killing plant for a few years. They reported that they have had success but re- turns in patronage refunds have been quite low. In further study they have found that only 10 percent of the profit in the meat processing trade is in the slaughtering part of the enter- prise while 90 percent is in further processing. As a result they were visiting Canada to learn of the progress already made in Quebec and the Maritimes in complete process- ing of all livestock and what was being planned in Ontario. The Fame board was interest- ed in hearing that killing plants with only a capacity of 1,500 hogs a week could reach maxi- mum efficiency. With the share - sales mounting up the board has decided to have all available in- formation on size and types of plants most suitable to Ontario presented at the September meeting. In the light of what we were told by the US delegation we are wondering about an increas- ed number of smaller killing plants and perhaps fewer lar- ger complete processing plants. This system would make deliv- ery of livestock to plants more convenient for the producers and in the case of fresh meats it might make a real saving in transportation costs. The board is quite interested in getting this study underway as early as possible so that de- finite steps may be taken by mid-November when we are quite hopeful that sufficient share capital will be available to purchase locations and call for building tenders. This, of course, will call for more canvassing to be done but already some counties are close to their objectives and it is just a case of the rest of us pulling our share of the load. In the latest report of the dairy farmers we are still in some difficulty in the sale of milk products. In spite of all the adverse propaganda regard- ing animal fats it is still a de- finite- fact that the countries showing the highest consump- tion of milk have the healthiest people. We would do well to keep this in mind for the sake of our children even if we are tempted to save a few cents on our own diet. I am glad to say that recently I had been finding more agree- ment among the various dairy groups in the matter of market- ing. I feel quite sure. that the worst they can do together will be better than the best they can do divided.

KALBFLEISCH, Clerk -Treasurer, Village of Zurich Plenty of Market For Milkweed Florists and home decorators use dry stalks and warty pods of milkweed in forming striking floral arrangements. In such a setting milkweed may be said to be useful. Not enough people use these arrangements to take care of the annual crop produc- ced in Ontario. So each year the surplus becomes larger and larger and many farmers now consider this weed a bad one. This group, says Charles Kingsbury of the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, realize that any plant that lives several years, and spreads both underground by rootstalks and through the air by thousands of parachuting seeds, is a menace to crop pro- duction. Herbicides such as 2,4-D or brushkill appied early in the season help in control. Later on, a waxy coat forms on top of the leaves and the spray must be directed upwards from near the ground to hit the un- protected surface of the leaf. To learn about these other weed controls, read the 1961 Guide to Chemical Weed Control, avail- able from the County Agricul- tural Representative. Milkweed is most commonly found in old pastures and along roadsides. It does invade cul tivated crop land and can be a serious hindrance in harvesting these crops. Like so many other weeds it helps to hit them Keep them from growing and keep them from seeding; you can always get enough from a neighbour for your desired flor when they are few and small. al arrangement.
