'Start a TV Farm Forum"; Urges
Federation Fieldman; Lots of Ideas
(By J. Carl
On December 1 and 2 175 Farm
Forums reported in Ontario, of
these there were 40 TV Forums.
This may seem to be a fair num-
ber but is hardly what we had
hoped for. Farm Forum offers a
wonderful opportunity for farm
people to get together and discuss
their problems and arrive at some
of the remedies. By listening to
the broadcast you may get some
information that will give you
some very good ideas in your own
home but unless you report your
ideas little action can result.
From the many comments I
have heard it is quite apparent
that a much larger number, than
indicated by the reports, watched
the TV program on December 9th.

Many of these were urban families.
How about getting four or five of
your neighbours in and forming a
forum? Then we will get the bene-
fits of your good ideas.
The January series on vertical
integration should be particularly
informative and your ideas on this
problem would be most welcome.
Representatives of the County
Hog Producers were called to To-
ronto, December 10 for a special
meeting. The purpose was to find
out if the Hog Producers on the
farms in the counties wanted any
changes made in the method of
selling hogs.
The result of the meeting was
a resolution passed by the meet-
ing stating that there be no basic

Winter Dysentry
Starting Now To
Appear in Cattle
Ontario veterinarians have re-
ported that the common intestinal
disorders in cattle during the win-
ter season have started to occur
this year. The most common of
these is winter dysentery, a dis-
ease affecting cattle as a herd
problem during the winter months.
The disease usually occurs in
part of a county one year, and in
a totally different Iocation the next
year. Fortunately the disease sel-
dom appears in the same herd
more frequently than every three
orfour years, About 20 percent of
the herd may show the first evid-
ence of the disease overnight.
Within a few days about 80 per -
change in the method of selling
hogs in Ontario.
The complaints of the Meat
Packers Council, representing the
larger packers, seemed to be that
they can't bid on all hogs offered
and can't get their share of hogs.
In the first case hogs are now
being offered in smaller lots there-
fore the opportunity to buy has
been considerably increased and
should take care of the first com-
plaint.
In the second case with 160
thousand or more hogs coming to
market each week and with the
Government reportedly buying
hogs in the west it hardly seems
reasonable that any packer should
feel the need for more hogs. It
isn't so long ago that 120 thous-
and a week was an over -supply.
We have been told that Alberta
hogs are shipped live into On-
tario. If any packer wants more
hogs let him raise the price 25 or
50 cents and more will come from
the west. I'm quite sure the
Government won't be offended.
cent of the herd may be affected.
The most constant symptom of the
disease is a severe diarrhea, Milk
production may drop 50 to 90
percent, but most affected ani-
mals continue to eat well...A. few
animals may be affected so severley
that they are weak and unable to
rise.
The disease is similar to several

serious conditions in cattle and it
is important that a veterinarian be
consulted and treatment instituted
immediately. According to the On-
tario Veterinary College, there are
no practical preventative measures
other than keeping people who
have been on infected farms from
the barn unless they adequately
disinfect their boots.
