Sales of Ontario grown food
in Great Britainincreased
sharply during the first .half of
September mainly as a result
of a trade drive spearheaded
by the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Five Ontario girls
flew over to lead a contingent
Of 32 food demonstrators who
manned the ODA booth at the
British Fgod Fair. These Iadies
personally sold over $10,900
worth of Ontario produce to
visitors such items as fresh
peaches brought 15 cents each,
while fresh carrots and cheese,
honey and a long list of can-
ned fruits and vegetables sold
readily.
This is the first time the
ODA has had its own display
at the Food Fair, but it is on-
ly part of the trade drive. Hon.
Charles Maelliaughton, minister
without portfolio in the Ontario
government, is leading a dele-
gation of producers and proces-
sors of farm produce, and ODA
officials into the U.K. and Eur-
ope. Several Ontario processors
reported they were deluged
with orders at the Food Fair,
but no official estimate of the
amount of produce sold is avail-
able yet. Cherry pie fill, apple
and tomato juice and peaches
appear the most popular, in the
processed division.

made this tour.. The objective is
to promote a better understand-
ing between farmers in Canada
and Britain, and to afford ,oth-
ers with an opportunity to gain
valuable practical experience
through actual on-farm study of
Britxah farming conditions.
Applicants in Ontario should
be between the ages of 30 and
35, and they should be active
farmers with every intention of
continuing in the industry. The
two whiners of the 1963 awards
will travel to Britain, all ex-
penses paid, probably about
February, and will spend , six
months visiting practical farm
operations, touring research cen-
tres, and generally gathering a
broad knowledge of British
farming techniques.
Ontario winners of the Nuf-
field Travelling Scholarships are
Donald Small, of Elgin County,
in 1952; Mac Sprowl, of Halton
County in 1954; Ken Ferguson,
of Lambton County in 1956; J.
E. Brubacher, of Lincoln Coun-
ty in 1957, and Harvey Homan,
of Hastings County in 1959.
This is an excellent oppor-
tunity for some deserving young
farm people to gain valuable
experience. Deadline for appli-
cations is November 1, 1962.
An announcement on Friday
by the Ontario Milk Producers
Provisional Marketing Board in-
dicates that there will be no
vote on the proposed market-
ing plan this year. The Board
has set a 'deadline of November.
1st for interested groups to
suggest revisions in the Ontario
Milk and Cream Marketing Plan.
Revisions containing construc-
tive suggestions from responsi-
ble_ producer groups and others
apparently will be consideree
by the Provisional Board be-
fore the plan is •submitted to
producers for a vote. Previous-
ly the Board had indicated that
it would not consider any sug-
gestions for revisions in its pro-
posed plan, but after the 38 -
man Ontario Milk and Cream
Producers Advisory Board met
last week and recommended a
change in this policy, the Pro-
visional Board accepted the re-
commendation. This change in
policy obviously means that no
vote on a proposed plan will
be possible before the spring
of 1963.

Why Fanners Leave
In the past two decades there
has been a heavy migration of
.farmers from the land all across
the 'Worth' -American continent.
In Alberta the number of farms
has _dropped from close to 100,-
000 in 1941, to a little over 13,-
000
3;000 at the time of the last cen-
sus in 1961. In view of this big
reduction in farm numbers, a
survey as to why farmers leave
the land conducted in Illinois
is of particular interest. ,
In 1960 and 1961, researchers
questioned 200 farmers who
were quitting ' farming. One -
Huron Wheat
Producers Will
Receive Rebates
Huron wheat producers -851
of them -will receive rebate
cheques totalling $24,679.25 this
year. The rebate covers 338,068
bushels of wheat.
A total rebate of $857,107,00
has been made to 26,348 Ontario
wheat producers who sold wheat
during the 1961 crop period,
the Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing Board district direc-
tor, Russell T. Bolton, announc-
ed this week.
K. A. Standing, - secretary
manager of t h e marketing
board, said individual cheques
to producers have all been dis-
tributed throughout the thirty-
six counties across the province
in which wheat was marketed
from July 1; 1961; to June 30,
1962.
Mr. Standing said the board
rebate is nearly twice the total
rebate of one year ago and re-
presents 7.3 cents per bushel
on a total of 11,741,000 bushels
of Ontario winter wheat mar-
keted.
He pointed out that the total
amount marketed was 2,687,000
bushels more than that market-
ed the previous year. Also, that
the rebate is not a subsidy, but
is the producers' own money
which was left over from the
total 9 cent per bushel deduc-
tion made on all wheat market-
ed which is pooled as a stab-
ilization fund.
Mr. Standing, further explain-
ed that the remainder of the 9
cents or 1.7 cents per bushel
was the amount required by the
Ontario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Board in purchasing,
handling and exporting 1,600,-
000 bushels of Ontario wheat
which was in excess of domes-
tic _requirements. •
The board's purchase and ex-
port operation last year, Mr,
Standing said, proved most suc-
cessful and economical as re -
fleeted by the 7.3 cent per bush-
el rebate, the highest yet made
since establishment of t h e
board in 1958. Last year pro-
ducers received 5 cents per
bushel on their 1960 market-
ings.
Perth farmers -226 -will re
ceive rebates totalling $6,007.69,
on 82,296 bushels.

ON HOW TO
FRESHEN CALVES
AT 20 TO 24 MONTHS!
The sooner your calves are bred,
calve, freshen and start to pay their
oven way, the sooner you'll start to
make a profit on them. o
Over 2,000 average calves, born and
raised on Purina's Dairy Research
Farm have helped us develop a
Purina Calf Starting Program that
has given us hundreds of calves that
havereshened before they were two
years old.
The most important step is to feed
them properly when they're young;
a properly, balanced ration that capi-
talizes on their early urge -to -grow.
Purina Nursing Chow and Purina
Calf Startena do supply this proper
feeding program.
We can't guarantee that your calves
will start right in freshening at 2
years, but we'd like to tell you; how
dozens of your neighbours have had,
strong, healthy calves that freshen
early and start producing young on
Purina's Calf Feeding Program.
Why not stop in sometime and let's
talk it over? -
