FFE•UERATION NEWS This is an Alberta Wheat Pool 'Crop Report of April 28, 1962: w Early season conditions are almost a mirror image of those of last year—good moisture re- serves in the north and very dry in southeastern and east - central Alberta. But now that the drought has built up over a ,longer time period in the • south, the extremes are much more pronounced Sub soil moisture reserves around Medi - eine Hat have dwindled to al- most nothing and the surface is dry enough to cause some con- cern over germination. On the other hand, reserves in the Ed- • - monton district and in ,the Peace River region are aor near levels which produced ex- cellent erops last year. Gen- erally speaking, this has . not been enough to balance the de- clining moisture supplies in the south, with the . result that the provincial average has de- • • ,Arnold STINNISSEN Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R.

Returning to regional condi- tions, the dryness in the south persists as far west as .4th - bridge where summer fallow sub -soil moisture is rated at, only 40 per cent of capacity - It .is also very dry north to Hanna, in eastern Alberta. As was the case last year, howev- er, the extreme southwest cor- ner of the province stands in marked contrast to the grim situation of the surrounding area. Moisture reserves are ex- cellent in the Cardston-Clares- holm• area. Although dry conditions are most severe in the south, mois- ture reserves in 'central Alberta are once again decidedly below normal. Surface moisture is adequate for germination in the Calgary -Red River districts, but sub -soil reserves have not yet been restored by adequate pre- cipitation. In general, timely seasonal rainfall will be an im- portant requirement for crop development over most of. the province south of Wetaskiwin' and Wainwright. Seeding progress so far is similar to that of last year with noticeable amounts completed only in crop districts 1 and 2 in the southeast corner of the province. About 46 per cent of the wheat in district 1 has been planted and about 21 per cent in crop district 2. Many farm- ers in this area are now hold- ing up seeding operations in the hope that future .rainfall will improve conditions for germination. In addition, con- siderable wind erosion has oc- curred across the southern part of the province. Preliminary agents' estimates indicate a prospective six per cent increase in wheat acreage in the province this year. Sharp declines are slated for barley and flax which will be about seven and 12 per cent below last year's acreage. Other grains will see small declines. Al- though the bulk of the winter wheat in the traditional grow- ing area of the southwest cor-• ner of the province came through the winter fairly well, there was considerable winter - kill qn expanded acreages out- side of this area - WR BETTER fill HEALTH).* ammismo� By C. A. DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: The condition. emphysema is an ever increas- ing medical problem for reasons not entirely clear. Many theor ies have been proposed to ex- plain this, but none are entire- ly satisfactory. However, most researchers in this field consid- er cigarettes to be at least a parial factor in the development of emphysema. Emphysema is a chronic lung disease which produces loss of elasticity. The inability of the lungs to contract and expand properly causes them to remain in an overinflated position. Since itf is a slow process, no symptoms are noted at first. As it . progresses, coughing and shortness of breath appear. Their severity depends on the degree of advancement of the emphysema. These symptoms are a result of the loss of effici- ent oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Although I stated above that the exact cause is unkown, there are a few conditions which predispose a person to emphysema. These are asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic lung infections and cigarette smok- ing. Uncontrolled asthma, in particular, is liable to lead to emphysema. Prevention of this complication is one good rea- son for treating asthma. Chron- ic lung infections should also be treated quickly in order to prevent trouble. Since smoking is felt to be a factor, it should be limited or stopped by everyone, especial- ly those with asthma or chronic lung infections. Various drugs and breathing exercises are usually effective in relieving symptoms of em- physema. Progression of the disease can often be checked by treating any ossicated con- dition (e.g., asthma,lung infec- tions).

SOUTHGATE Phone 334 Seaforth � NRRow AND FALLOW By FAIRBAI8N The first swine herd in On- tario—or Canada—to be certi- fied under any S.F.F. herd .po1- icy received recognition last week when the swine herd of Herb Arkell and Bruce Warns - ley, at Teeswater, in Bruce County, was certified under the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture Certified Herd Policy This policy was established by the provincial government t w o years ago to assist pure-bred hog breeders to establish herds that are free of Infectious Atrophic Rhinitis and Virus Pneumonia. These two, diseas- es are prevalent in Ontario pigs, according to Livestock Commissioner, Dick . Graham, and can cause substantial loss- es. Pigs cannot be immunized against either, nor can they be treated effectively, so that Cer- tified Herd Policy was develop- ed to provide farmers with a supply of pigs free from these specific diseases, Hence, the name S.P.F. was derived from the words Specific Pathogen Free, which means the pigs da not have specific diseases but are not necessarily free from all diseases. Since the policy was estab- lished, research indicates that it will probably be impossible to certify herds that contain anynon-S.P.F, pigs—these dis- eases cannot be eliminated by careful sanitation and breeding alone. You must start with primary S.P.F. pigs taken from their dams surgically by ,caesa- rian or hysterectbmy operations in an aseptic manner so that the diseases cannot be trans- mitted from the sow to the newborn pigs. The little pigs are kept in a disease-free lab- oratory for four weeks before being transferred to a farm that has not had anyigs on it for at least six week's. AH equip- ment and facilities for handling the pigs must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before they arrive, and special precau- tions taken by the farmer after their arrival to prevent diseas- es from getting into the herd. Under the Ontario Policy, the farmer agrees to permit regu- lar inspection by a provincial veterinarian and post mortem examination, of all pigs sold for slaughter. In the year follow- ing enrolment, one-third of the pigs raised to market weight must be slaughtered and exam- ined and must include at least two pigs from each litter, Any pig suspected of being •infected with either disease must also be slaughtered and examined. After one year, if no trace of disease has been found by clini- cal and p'e'st mortem examina- tions, the swine herd can be certified. Fifteen Ontario:. herds are now enrolled under the Certified Herd Policy. Ontario milk producers ship- ping to manufacturing plants (powder, evaporated, cheese and condensed) can expect stricter enforcement of quality regulations soon. We hear the ODA is planning to extend the same quality standards to these shippers as those producers ap- plying the . fluid market have. Milk can berejected for objec- tionable flavour, excessive sedi- ment and high bacterial count. Monthly samples of all manu- facturing milk will go to re- gional laboratories starting im- mediately in some areas, and eventually the entire province will be covered. Three consecutive tests show- ing milk of grade 4 quality will result in a producer being shut NES FOS £ 1, TRAINING. GRANDDAUGHTER SHOWS ABILITY The Hamilton Spectator in a, recent issue suggests the grand- daughter of a Seaforth •couple, Mr. and Mrs. Orville •Dale, soon may be recognized as a top art- ist. In a story by staff writer Vicky Innes, the Spectator says: "A high school student who has, never had an art lesson may become 'one -of the best scull): tors in our country.' "After winning a gold medal for her sculpture of a horse in the Kiwanis Music Festival, Linda Dale, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Dale, 820 Shade - land Avenue, was told In a let- ter fromthe adjudietor, Violet Depey: " We are 'proud to have in our district a girl who can do such a beautiful piece of sculp- ture. I'm sure we can look for your name amongst the best sculptors of our country some day.' "The adjudicator added she had no criticism to offer Linda on her work. "Linda entered a horse, en- titled The Chinese Stylist, in the sculpture section of the Ki- wanis Festival to win 08 points and a gold medal for best in the class. "An oil painting of a ship won Linda third prize in its section. "About one and a half feet High, the horse was formed from a coat hanger, covered with chicken wire and then pa- per mache. A final coat of as- bestos produced a finish simi- lar to polished grey stone. "Linda used materials from the art room at Aldershot,High School where she is in , Grade 10. Although not an art stu- dent, the horse was displayed in the school for the past two months. "Shea has been interested in art since Grade 6 when she did sports picture for a school dis- play. "Since then, she has done water color pictures and re- cently tried oil painting by off for 15 days and we under: stands that steps will also be taken to prevent a producer changing plants after the first or • second warning. This could be done by plants requiring a quality certificate before tak- ing on new shippers.,..It looks as though the department is embarking on- a concentrated program to improve the overall quality of milk which should benefit everybody. Milk going to labs for testing will be sub- ject to tests other than bacter- ial, such as the Gel test for Mastitis. This would indicate that close attention by milk Producers to feed or anything else that might cause off -flavours, careful cleaning of all equipment and udders, and, generally good sanitation procedures would pay off.

Their research covers manyfields, from gasolines to household detergents. Another 130 scientists and technicians are work- ing at Imperial's Calgary laboratories on ways to find and. produce more Canadian crude oil . and natural gas. Imperial does more research than all other oil companies in Canada combined. • • 1 FAMItY; Every barrel of crude oil contains some of the sun's heat. Imperial research works to unlock more of this energy. After five years' intensive research, Imperial found a chemical additive which makes more heating oil available from Canadian crude oil.
