FURROW AND FALLOW By FAIRBAIRN News on the farm front has been popping, recently with FAME announcing the appoint-' ment of a firm of US packing house consultants to settle on the site for its first plant and erect it by the spring of 1963, The Farm Products Marketing Board- moving into the tobacco situation (incidentally, there will 'not be another vote on the levy this year aS we pre- dicted last week) and the but- ter subsidy announced by the federal government. Early re- ports on this, new dairy policy are confusing but it looks as though it will allow a reduc- tion in the retail price of but- ter of 12 cents a pound and perhaps about 6 cents on cheese and even some on concentrated milk products using butterfat. This is the first we've heard about the latter two being in- cluded in this kind of scheme and until we see more complete reports hesitate to Comment_ However, we would like ,to comment on another matter of great importance to all milk producers. Ontario's Minister Of Agriculture, W. A. Stewart, has announced a pilot project in a program to eliminate mastitis' from. dairy ,herds in this province. This disease has been costing farmers millions of dollars annually and there has been much talk, but little action—on any large scale. Sen- ior veterinarian atthe regional laboratory in Ridgetown, Dr. Doidge, has been doing some work locally with the volun- tary assistance of some produc- ers and we have heard of simi- lar operations in northern On- tario. Now, the, Department of Ag- riculture plans to enroll 150 herds in a pilot project in sputh- western Ontario around the Ridgetown lab. Dairy herds in Essex, Kent and Lambton will be asked to participate first with others in Middlesex and Elgin joining if there is room in this pilot project. Through the veterinary lab, the ODA will supply the staff to organ- ize the program, 'collect and - test samples (one from each quarter of each cow in milk at six week intervals during the first nine months and at three month intervals after that) and report results to both the pro- ducer and his own veterinarian. Producers must agree to ob- tain the samples, to have affect- ed quarters treated under the direction of their own vets and Sell that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Ex- positor Classified Ad.

Per- haps I am slightly biased, but I did find it most interesting to note two resolutions which originated in Huron getting ap- proval of the Ontario Wheat Producers.

Write today, A Division of DAIRY PrAffiltAKR8 OF CANADA 141 Davenport Road, Totonto t# The first was the old one that has been on the go for the past four or five years, namely, Re- solved that the fright subsidy on Western feed grain into On- tario be discontinued. The question can be reauced to whether or not farmers are benefitted by low priced grain. Unless you purchase more than half of your feed grain supply, there will be no ad- vantage in having the - freight subsidy. • I think you are familiar with all the old arguments, but I ran across a new angle after hours. I was told by a- municipal assessor that regulations under the Municipal Act...state that a person who produces less than 10 per cent, or the equivalent, of his feed rilquirements, can be subject to business tax. I wonder how many people who call themselves farmers would, be affected by this? A few of us did some rather wild guess- ing on the .beef feeding opera- tion of Seagrams at Waterloo and concluded that_ they could be subject to a business tax- of between six and seven thous- and dollars on this -.,.operation. If this were applied, in rural municipalities it might act as a deterrent to vertical integra- tion. The second resolution was approved to give the Ontario Wheat .Board power to obtain a percentage of wheat delivered at harvest time. If ' your Wheat Board could get this ' wheat • for September and October export it could • be moved out much more cheaply. Under present conditions the Board can only get wheat when the trade is willing to assign it. This might be in tittle to use the full -navigation season, but it is . usually during Feb- ruary that the Board is asked Co remove -the surplus. This Board" has to pay top storage charges and has to move the grain by rail rather' than boat, Since it was necessary for me to shuffle back and forth between the Wheat Producers and the Hog Producers annual, only one resolution of the Hog Producers caught illy attention: Resolved that all market hogs must continue to be marketed through the Marketing Agency. eeting•Ree eci s! RuSsei T. $OItoin To W,he ..t BQard Russell T. Belton, BR 1, Sea - forth, was/re-elected ,to, the. On- tario Wheat Producer sr Market- ing Board at the anntlailn Fleeting last week.

Coulter, Campbellville, District 6; R. T. Bolton, Sea - forth, District 7; Harry Fergu- son, Keswick, District 8; R. R. Stewart, Peterborough a n d Peter MacKinnon, Bath, Dis- trict 9. Some 90” wheat committee delegates were present for the twe-day meet which, in addi- tion to the election, received resolutions from various coun- ties across the province, and re- ports on activity- of the board during the past year. The delegates, no doubt, re- alize that this is of .most vital importance, but I question if the average producer knows this fact. I am thoroughly con- vinced that it is this clause in your marketing . plan that has prevented corporation control of hog production. Yet there are a couple of flies in the soup; First, the resolution implies that ALL market hogs are pre- sently being sold through the agency. Enough evidence was produced at the . meeting to cause some doubt of this. Sec- ond,if the law is being ibroken, who is to "bell the cat?" To my mind, these two faults can only be removed by ex- tremely strong support on the part of hog producers. You did strengthen your position at the March 6th vote. But it is nec- essary that you continue. Give expression to your determina- tion in this matter, "loud- and dear " ' to eliminate cows that fail to respond. Part of the cost of this program will be borne ,by the producers by means of $1 per cow fee paid to the ODA, and, of course, producers dill have to bear their own veterin- arian costs. The veterinary staff at Ridge - town will be available to act as advisors on sanitation- and milk- ing practices which can be con- tributing factors in the devel- opment and spread of mastitis. An educational program will al- so be carried on in order to get more information ,on mas- titis to individual milk produc- ers by keeping all extension workers (bHIA . and Dairy Branch fieldmen). up-to-date on the latest developments. if this pilot project accomplishes its purpose of establishing mastitis,,-„ free herds, it will be extended throughout the entire province.

It'n1akes good sense then to play safe and field calibrate your seeding equipment . this Spring. grain seeding rates can be checked in the field by filling the seed box level full and then seeding for a measured -off dis- tance, If you know the width of 'your drill, the distance trav- elled, the amount of seed used and the area covered -you can figure the seeding rate with this formula: Miles travelled multiplied by width in inches, divided by 100, equals acres seeded. Bushels of seed used, divided by acres seeded, equals rate per acre. For greatest accuracy cali- brate each feed run individual- ly by tying a bag around each spout. Then operate the given distance. With forage seeds, start with setting of one bushel on the wheat scale, then try the drill out 'on a hard surface. Count the number of seeds that drop per foot of row and adjust the setting to seed 30 to 35 seeds per foot of row for 6 to 7 -inch row spacings. For large seeded crops like bromegrass, open the drill` slightly more. Sell that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Ex- pesitor Classified Ad. Phone 141.
