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.

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.

Herk was never a fellow to shirk
Safety habits while he was at wog ai
But he didn't survive
His Labour Day drive ...
For he drove without care,
With a nonchalant air,
Unaware that safe driving is work!
Careful drivers know
driving safely is
:a full time job!.
They don't speed; they obey traffic signs;
they leave a safe distance between cars;
they signal their intentions well in advance.
If you're going out on the highways
this holiday weekend
don't forget ....
