SUMMER CARE OF LAWNS
How much are lawn grasses.
damaged by heat and drought
during the hot dry weather of
summer?
Not seriously, states' J. C. Taylor,
Department of Horticulture, On-
tario Agricultural College. A lawn
may look brown for awhile, but it
recovers quickly when the weather
becomes cool and- rain falls. Dur-
ing the hot summer period, a sound
watering program will help great-
ly in maintaining a green lawn.
It doesn't make much difference
at what time of day the watering
is carried out, says the OAC auth-
ority, However, on lawns in which
there is a lot of bentgrass it is
not, wise to water the lawn in the
evening, because this practice en-
courages diseases like brown -
patch, which attacks bentgrass. In
such cases, watering should be
done early in the day so that the
water can dry off before night-
fall.
But it is important .to remem-
ber that when a lawn is watered,
it should get a thorough soaking,
rather than a light sprinkling. A
light application of water soon ev-
aporates, but its worst fault is
that it tends to encourage shallow
rooting of the grass,- and at the
same time, confers its greatest
benefit on surface -rooting weeds,
such as crab grass.
To gauge the correct amount of
water to apply to a lawn at one
time, place a pan in the area cov-
ered by the lawn sprinkler. When
there is an inch to an inch and
a half of water in the pan, that
area of the lawn has received en-
ough water and the sprinkler may
be moved to another location.
Many lawns are mown too close-
ly, advises the OAC authority. It
is best for a bluegrass lawn to be
mowed not closer than. 11/2 inches.
Cutting a lawn at a height of an
inch or less contributes to poor
growth, and a weak lawn is the
result.
It is not necessary to remove
clippings, unless they are unusual-
ly heavy and their presence on the
lawn might be unsightly and tend
to smother the grass. Clippings
wither up quickly and as they de-
cay they add a .small amount of
humus to help feed the roots of
the grass.

in Marketing Far
In the belief that the problem of
the marketing of farm products is
a national one, and of concern. to
all segments of the Canadian econ-
omy, the • Canadian Chamber et
Commerce has obtained comment
from interested areaswithin the
economy.
In .an effort to present various
' s articles
include among
,
others those by a busines'S, one
from the farmer's angle, a treat-
ment of the Federal Government
role and finally the Ontario view-
point.
Businessman's Viewpoint
(J. S, Whyte, President Whyte
Packing Co. Ltd., Stratford. Ont )
There is a common tendency to-
day to appraise the marketing of
food . products mainly from the
standpoint of the "farmers' share."
This may be,due to the fact that
agricultural groups have become
well organized and vocal and are
in a strategic position politically.
But the result is that the co-ordin-
ated teamwork which is a "must"
in modern marketing is often over-
looked.
Farming, transportation, process-
ing, wholesaling and retailing are
all part and parcel of a continu-
ous chain of operations which
transforms feed oh the farm into
food on the table. The fact is that
marketing agencies are equally as
interested as the producer in see-
ing that food moves to the con-
sumer with the greatest efficiency
and economy and in the largest
possible volume. All are members
of the same production -marketing
team.

It is, of course, Natural that the
farmer should be interested in ob-
taining the highest net return for
his produce, but at the same time,
processors and retailers add fur-
ther value and utility to the prim-
ary product by catering to the
needs and desires of consumers.
Through efficient and economical
operations they endeavour to re-
tain some part of the value added
as earnings, to expand and decelop
the services they provide. Finally,
there is the housewife, who shops
assiduously to obtain the utmost
in quality and value for her food
dollar and by her actions at the
counter calls the marketing tune.
The marketing agencies. which
jointly serve both producer and
consumer, can function most effici-
ently and demonstrate greatest in-
itiative and enterprise under a
freely competitive marketing sys-
tem. Our time -tested economic
framework has given North Am-
erica its ascendancy over the rest
of the world in high living stan-
dards and gross national product
per capita.
History has shown that a socie-
ty which encourages the inefficient,
wasteful, weak or incompetent
generally penalizes efficiency and
initiative. The eventual result is
not the anticipated security, but
a gradual decay of economic free-
dom and the stifling of construc-
tive ideas . by the removal in in-
centives to progress. This is worth
thinking about in any approach to
food marketing problems.
Farmers Views Marketing
(H.H. Hannam, President, The
Canadian Federation of Agricul-
ture)
Farming today is a business. It
can no longer be regarded solely
as a way of life. In today's high-
ly commercialized business world,
the farmer who chooses not to or
who fails to put his operations on
a business basis soon finds him-
self, his family and his farm,
crowded into the marginal and sub-
marginal category.
Marketing is one of the major
aspects of the business side of
farming. A market situation more
highly competitive than ever be-
fore makes it imperative that mar-
keting be done in a thoroughly
businesslike and orderly manner.
In order to maintain quality, uni-
formity of grade and attractive-
ness of product; governments es-
tablish and administer grading
regulations.
In production operations on his
own farm the individual farmer
can do much by producing a uni-
form product of high quality. Be-
yond that the farmer, in his indi-
vidual capacity, is seriously handi-
capped when he attempts to mar-
ket his own products in a modern
economy dominated by large scale
business organizations. And it is
universally agreed that the trend
toward consolidation of business
and industry into larger and larg-
er units las been accelerated in
recent decades.
In Canada we have 470,000 com-
mercial farms largely owner-op-
erated—something which we are
proud of in this country. But
these 470,000 individual free enter-
prise producing units have as yet
found no Workable method to co-
Irdinate their total output. As in-
dividuals , their bargaining power
is nil. They are unable to plan or
regulate the overall volume of pro-
oduction in order to conferee in
,some measure to the needs of
lknown Markets. This means that
an efficient rob of production en
their farms may . mean over sup-
plying a Market or adding fur-
ther to accumulated surpluses
which contribute all too frequently
to demoralize markets and 'dee-
pressed tlriees" Under such eondi-
tions farmers ere supposed to
swing theft iiroduction into other
produ'ete for which there is a bet-
ter demand, Unfortunately Some
are not in a position to change to
another major crop and wh'eYi a
large? numiier; of farmers do swing

world prestige, has said editorjal-
ly:
"The position of the food Widen-
er has been intolerably and ..un-
necessarily unstable. No mann-
facturer is left in complete ignor-
ance of the price he will ultimate-
ly receive for his product. Such
conditions are in truth unbusiness-
like as well as unfair."
It is' not surprising then that
farmers v buld turn, as a business
man would under the circumstanc-
es, to programs of orderly mar-
keting. And since conditions of
supply and demand vary so wide:
ly for different commodities these
orderly marketing programs have
likewise varied as well. For the
most part, however, these programs
have been self help programs.
Where it has been possible the
farmer has preferred to put forth
the necessary effort and to organ-
ize his marketing program on. his
own responsibility. Sometimes it
has been a program that does not
handle the product but does con-
trol the marketing. Sometimes it
has been a program which estab-
lishes marketing facilities and" ser-
vices and takes over complete re-
sponsibility for placing his pro-
duct on markets at home and
abroad. Sometimes it has been a
program of processing, packaging
and wholesaling. In some cases 'it
has been a program that carries
the product right to the consumer's
door.
There is one notable exception
and that is the program of the
Canadian Wheat Board. The Wheat
Board — a government appointed
board—controls and regulates the
sale of all wheat, oats and barley
in the prairie provinces. The great
majority of grain growers support
this government board program for
two important reasons: one, be-
cause of the magnitude of the tasks
of marketing two-thirds or more
•of the Canadian wheat crop over
most of the world; and two, be-
cause of the magnitude of the task
of financing an operation of that
scale.
Producers in Canada, however,
as in some other agricultural coun-
tries, namely the United Kingdom,
Australia and Norway. have turn-
ed to a marketing technique which
would give them greater control
over the total product to be mar-
keted than voluntary co-operatives
can provide. This other technique,
referred to as producer board mar-
keting, employs marketing legisla-
tion to give .legal status to their
regulation.
The objective of regulated mar-
keting is firstly by control over
the total product within a speci-
fied area to do an efficient job of
orderly marketing --Abet is feeding
markets, holding reserves, deliver-
ing when and where customers
want the product and being in a
position to guarantee regularity of
supply and uniformity of quality
and grade. A second objective
which producers hope to achieve,
through the larger measure df bar-.
gaining power which regulation 'of.
the product affords them, is that
of being able to exert some infu-
ence on price levels. This may
mean only levelling out too wide
and too frequent price fluctuations
and in this way achieving a mea-
sure of stability of marketing
price not possible under unregu-
lated and . unorganized competitive
marketing.
Producer board marketing com-
bines ,three essential ideas; one,.
democratic procedure; two, co-op-
erative efforts; and three, regula-
tions carried out under enabling
legislation. Under this type of
marketing the following democra-
tise safeguards are provided:
1. Producer members of mark-
eting boards are elected democra-
tically.
2. Usually a vote of producers
concerned is provided for and tak-
en to establish the program in the
first place and often to decide on
its continuance.
3. In Canada, marketing legisla-
tion must be enacted by the legis-
lature of the province which holds
the authority todepeal the legisla-
tion at any time and/or to cancel
any particular marketing pian.
4. The powers conferrd by the
Federal Government must be
made possible by enactment 'of the
Federal parliament and t h o s e
powers are extended to particular
board programs only by order -in -
council.
if orderly marketing (a) levels
out price fluctuations, (b) tends to
keep'iirod{fcers producing, Cc) adds
stability to market supply and (d)
contributes to uniformity of qual-
ity and grade, it undoubtedly does
provide benefits to consumers as
well as producers. Whether that
results in a direct price advant-
age to consumers is of course a
controversial point and perhaps
impossible.•to prove. I believe in
the long run it 'does.
Do producers under a regulated
marketing program gain benefits
for themselves at the expense of
consuiners Of their products, is of-
ten asked. My own• opinion is that
market conditions are such—
through abundant production on
the part of agricultural producers,
th'roh' a large measure of free
,cohipetition applying between pro -
dithers 'iii' all enuritries .and on
world nierkets, and through the
competition of alternative products
—that"' there is slight possibility, if
any at all; of producers being able
to charge eonetirer's prices which
are eco comically unfair to them
(consuitners).
Federal government fn Marketing
for export. Six years after Con-
federation federal Iegislation was
passed providing for the inspection
of grain and meal, flour, meats,
hides and leather.
Most government grading 'and
inspection iu the earlier days was
designed to improve quality and
establish confidence in Canadian
agriceltural products to foreign
markets, and applied chiefly to
products entering the export trade.
Growth of• domestic" markets
brought a demand for federal grad-
ing of products entering interpro-
vincial trade. Trade within a pro-
vince is under provincial jurisdic-
tion, and as grading for sale on
the domestic market developed
most of the provinces have passed
legislation dealing with ' grading
and inspection using federal stan-
dards , and authorizing federal of-
ficers to carry out the work. As
a result, most Canadian farm pro-
ducts are sold today, through com-
mercial channels, on grades estab-
lished by the government and ad-
ministered (except grains) by offi-
cials of the federal Marketing -Ser-
vice.
Grading prevents poor quality
products trading on the reputation
of good. i It establishes consumer
confidence. It also facilitates trad-
ing at long distance, a necessity
for both export and domestic mar-
kets in a country the size of Can-
ada, • But grading can do little to
improde the quality -of products.
after they reach the market.
Methods of production, process-
ing, storage and transportation all
influence the successful marketing
of farm products. As Dr'- G. S. H.
Barton, former Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, frequently stated: "A
product properly produced is al-
ready half marketed".
Insistent public demand from
consumers and producers alike,
has Made it necessary for the.gov-
ernment to impose regulations to
prevent the spread of insects and
diseases of plants and animals and
to undertake a broad system of
research into methods of limiting
or controlling damage to farm pro-
ducts from these sources. A good
illustration ise •the work of the
Health of Animals Division in con-
trolling . outbreaks of contagious
diseases in animals, research into
the cause of such outbreaks, and
after -slaughter inspection to pre-
vent meat from damaged or dis-
eased animals reaching the con-
sumer.
All these agencies and the regu-
lations they administer, even those
governing the grading of seed, play
a vital if indirect part in the suc-
cesful marketing of agricultural
products. -
Another important feature of
Marketing Service activities is
making market information avail-
able to producers, consumers and
traders. Records of prices, grades
and volume of sales in each mapor
trading centre are provided for on
a daily, weekly and monthly basis,
and distributed through radio and
press outlets. At the end of the
year this information and similar
reports from other countries, is
analyzed by representatives of the
Federal Department of Agricul-
tue and reviewed at the annual
conference of federal, provincial
and farm organization representa-
tives, to determineprobable mar-
ket trends for the coming year.
This review is then made available
to producers of the various pro-
ducts as a guide in planning their
next season's production.
Market research at retail levels
is done by the Consumer Section
to determine changes in consumer
buying habits and their preferenc-
es as .to quality. On the basis of
this 'information, changes can be
made in grade standards.
Where such changes involve al-
terations in the type of animal pro-
duced, as in bacon hogs, or in'
methods of processing as a cheese,
premiums have been paid for top
grade products to encourage pro-
ducers or processors to invest the
additional capital required to make
the necessary alterations in their
production program. Such prem-
iums might be compared with the
changes ,made... by the government
front, time to time in .protective
tariffs to encourage manufacturers
to invest money in plant and equip-
ment for the. `manufacture of new
types of: precincts.
Federalgrants are made to as-
sist WO -maintaining the quality of
agricultural products during the
marketing process. Grants or
loans are made to small groups of
producers' to aid in financing cold
storages and central plants for.
grading ann,d packing. In these
plant's perishable products can be
assegmbled, packed. and pre -cooled,
penfding shipment to central mar-
kets, 'es in the handling of fruits
and vegetables. At central mar-
kets• grahts are made to aid in the
construction of large public cold
storages for the preservation of
perishable products. Similar grants
help to provide 'improved proceek
ing faeilit1'es incheese factories.
Canada like .most agricultural
countries, has measures designed
to give price stability in market-
iing. Under the Agricultural Pric
.es Support Act, the Federal Gov-
ernment may Stabilize the price

Fish That Got Away
•An ardent angler, C. F. Chapman
has caught many a fish in his day.
On Saturday, however, he caught
his first "now you see 'em and
now you don't" bass. Along with
two brother anglers, "Chappy
landed his boat at the mouth of
the Maitland River. From the boat
he took outhis catch of five love-
ly bass, his tackle box, net and
bait. Looking around for a safe
place to put them while he finish-
ed unloading the boat, he rioted a
parked truck with no driver in it.
Placing the fish and fishing equip-
ment on the platform of the iruck,
he then returned -to the boat. When
he went to get his fish later on,
the truck had been driven away.
After making numerous inquiries,
he eventually found the truck park-

ber of provincial governments have
established boards to control and
regulate agricultural products pro-
duced and marketed within the
province. This ,Act enables such
provincial marketing Legislation to
apply in the same way to market-
ing of agricultural products out-
side the province and in export
trade.
Legislation has also been enact-
ed to prefect producers and ship-
pers of farm products from fraud
by requiring the bonding and lic-
ensing of dealers and commission
agents, as in the Stockyards Ad-
ministration Act. Another mea-
sure provides for arbitration of
disputes that may arise in the ship-
ment of fruits and vegetables.
Wheat and feed grains are the
only agricultural commodities for
which a federal- government ag-
ency is responsible for the actual
marketing of a Major share of the
product. The. Canadian Wheat
Board was incorporated under the
Canadian Wheat Board Act to
market in an orderly manner, in
the inter -provincial and eXport
trade; grain grown in ,the three
prarie provinces and in part of
British Columbia and Ontario.
The Board accepts delivery of
grain on a quota basis, aecording•
to the anroitrlt of,storage and ship-
ping spade' available,`pays 'the pro -
dither a fixed initial payment on
