The old canes are best remov- ed right after harvest. Cut them off close to the ground, remove them from the rows, and burn them. These old canes usually are diseased, and will infect the young developing canes with Anthracnose and Spur Blight, unless they are removed. After pruning, spray with Ferbam or Bordeaux to help control Anthracnose or Spur Blight. ALL KINDS of INSURANCE W.E.

The federation expanded its repres- entations of last fall and winter, but basically it is still "asking for legislation that will provide for licensing of dealers as well as manufacturers and wholesale outlets, independent testing and publication of results of tests of all farm machines and a thor- ough overhauling of the present system of parts distribution. The OFA claims there is dis- satisfaction with the service .on repair parts and- backed up its claims by presenting a long list of examples of delay in supply, ing repair parts to farmers and the results of such delay in loss of time and inconvenience as well as. actual loss of income.

Grazing days, milk yields, and extra hay production were carefully' recorded and evaluated. The results show that on the -average the Aero Urea Pasture Program will return over $3.50 for every $1.00 invested in fertilizer. You get your cattle out earlier, keep them on pasture longer with proper nitrogen fertilization.

It asks that each farm machinery manufacturer main- tain at least one •complete parts depot in Ontario which would stock parts for a minimum of ten years from date of sale of new implements, and that these depots be manned by at least a skeleton staff on Saturdays and holidays during the farm production season. The OFA recognized that the entry of a number of "short. line" companies, especially for- eign companies, into the mar- ket adds anothek dimension to the problem. "In many cases," says the Federation, "these com- panies have failed to provide adequate parts depots . within ready reach of dealers or pur- chasers." A Farm Machinery Act, providing for licencing of all dealers would, in consider- able measure, solve this prob- lem, as well as bring to an end the "fence -corner" dealership which provides service of a very inferior order. Another suggestion put forth by the Federation of Agricul- ture was for a requirement that minimum standards for the pro- per servicing of farm machinery be set, both in respect to the qualification of mechanics and facilities required. The OFA also claims there is dissatisfaction with the quality and performance of agricultural machinery and a desire for un- biased, authoritative 'testing. There is no doubt that some farm machinery is inferior, but there is also much good equip- ment available and many com- panies maintain extensive and intensive testing programs. Per- haps those companies would not object to some method of inde- pendent testing, especially if it might lead to the elimination of some of the cheap competi- tion. The federation was quite busy last week with a Members' meeting making plans for the annual .meeting November 12- 14 in Toronto and spending con- siderable time • on resolutions dealing with hogs. The federa- tion would like to eliminate garbage -feeding and. is asking for immediate stiffening of the penalties for feeding uncooked garbage and more rigid en- force'ment.. Also, the OFA re- quests close co-operation be- tween the Canada Department of Agriculture and the USDA to control and eventually elim- inate hog cholera. It would like to have the $3.00 premium on Grade A hogs restored as soon. as possible. There have been 4% more Grade A hogs mar- keted in Ontario in the year that the increased premium has been paid. • * * * Today's Tidbit: Dairy farm- ers can now buy a Cowculator— a portable, electronic .device which accurately determines the most efficient method of feeding dairy cows: Sow pasture becomes more mature and less palatable in the fall, but as long as you clip and keep the legume, sows "can be pastured well into the fall.

Set: Progrum For -Farm Forum Radio Series Nations] Farm Radio Forum, Canada's twenty-two year bid adult educatinn program, will begin this year en October. 22. The program, to be presented on the new Consolidated Net- work, will open with a review of Farm Forum's accomplish- ments and its future—not only in Canada, but around the world. The first discussion grodps— called Farm Forums in Canada —will be organized on October 29, in conjunction with a broad- cast on the subject of "Proper- ty Taxation." In November, the topics will range froth "Vertical Integra- tion" to "Farm Organization"' and "Dairy Policy." "The Com- mon Market" will be featured during the month of December. Through the winter months, 4-H members will join the Farm Forums for a discussion on career opportunities, entit- led, "A World of Opportunity." Women's Institutes will take part in a discussion of women's role in world affairs. Church members will study the role of the rural church, via Farm For- um. Cooperative members and leaders will examine their re- sponsibilities. In short, National Farm Ra- dio Forum will have something for every rural person, from the teen-ager to the retired farmer. Subjects will range ov- er the social and economic pre- occupations of every farmer and will include many issues which involve farmer and urban dweller alike. Time of the broadcast has changed to 9:00 p.m. Monday night continues to be Forum Night. Better coverage may be expected in most homes, since more radio stations will carry Farm Forum this year.

So far, this has not seem- ed to hurt employment much (see below), but it is expected to, later in the fall and win- ter. In Ottawa, the biggest prob- lem is the cut in staff that is now in process. Departments like Agriculture, DBS, etc, with big staffs but an increas- ingly bigger job to do, are al- ready finding difficulties in get- ting their work done. With the rule now fixed that stiffs must be cut by 15 per cent before any new .jobs can be filled, un- finished` work is piling up and new projects are being side- tracked. Slower action on re- ports and statistics is in the off- ing. Ottawa civil servants are. dismayed, but not critical.
