The Huron Expositor, 1962-10-11, Page 10` Q,4it Q15 EXPOSrTQR, $ 'ORTfL, QNT., OCT. 11. 1962 Furrow anci Fallow By . 7A1RBAIRN Ontario will be the iiext prov- ince in Canada to appoint a full time directory for ARRA when 1-1. F. `Herb' Crown assumes those duties October 15. Agri- culture Minister Stewart an- nounced at a testimonial din- ner for retiring Haldimand County agriculture representa- tive, Gord Skinner, last week that his department was estab- lishing an Agricultural Rehab- ilitation and Development Branch with Herb Crown as di- rector. The ODA recently as- sumed full responsibility for the ARDA' program in the prov- ince after representations from the Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Crown appears to be a `natural' for this job. First, he is a graduate of the OAC and second, he has had wide ex- perience in the conservation field, both with the river valley authorities in Ontario and with the Department of Lands and Forests. He was also secretary of the Select Committee on Con- servation. Mr. Stewart said the ARDB will be responsible for co-ordin- ating and promoting a program leading to the best utilization of the province's natural re- sources under the provisions of the federal ARDA program. The program will naturally vary considerably from area to area but the ODA will work closely with local organizations to de- velop the best type of program for their particular district.

"The broad concept of ARDA can be an extremely ef- fective instrument for good in rural Ontario," Mr. Stewart concluded. Another development just an- nounced is a Quality Meat Sire Policy for Ontario beef produc- ers. This policy, which starts immediately, is designed to identify sires capable of pro- ducing top quality offspring— that means, percentage of lean meat, relationship of fat to lean, and marbling. The ideal carcass possesses a high percentage of well marbled, lean meat and has an even covering of fat, Scientific tests have shown that there is a direct correla- tion between the area of lean meat in the ribeye and the to- tal amount of lean meat in the carcass. A test has been devis- ed to measure meatiness by the area of the ribeye. In a really meaty carcass there should be at least two square inches of rib - eye for every hundred pounds of carcass weight when the cross section cut is made be- tween the twelfth and thirteenth ribs. So a 500:pound carcass should have at least 1O square inches of ribeye. Fat covering is obtained by measuring at three points over the ribeye and averaging the three. In a choice 500•pdund carcass the fat thickness should' not exceed two-thirds of an inch. Also important in beef pro- duction is weight for age—the fastest growing animal makes the most economical gains. So rate of gain is considered in this quality meat sire program. Agriculture Minister Stewart says, "This policy complements performance testing policies al- ready in operation, and will be administered by the Advanced Registry Board." Continuing the trend toward greater emphasis on marketing within the department, R. E. `Dick' Goodin has been appoint- ed Marketing Development Offi- cer for Special Crops. In making the announcement, Mr. Stewart said that tremen- dous progress has been made through the years in . the effici- ent production of farm - crops but, he added, "We have now reached the stage when more concentrated attention to mar- keting development is essen- tial." • Dick Goodin has had long ex- perience in field crop work and -the" marketing of agricultural products, especially turnips and potatoes, and he will expand this type of work.

FARM NEWS OF HURON The many light rains of the past few weeks have helped fall plowing, but has hindered har- vest of late beans. Husking corn is maturing slowly. Silage corn. is still quite green and there 'are many silos yet to fill. Fall pasture .has been quite good. There has not been a heavy killing frost as yet. HURON FEDERATION NEWS By Mrs. J. W. (Florence) Elliott, Secretary Poultry market report, from Canada Department of Agricul- ture 'Poultry Division Weekly Report No. 39: Most major Canadian poultry markets continued steady, ex- cept for the odd minor price revision for certain kinds and weights at widely scattered points. On the live market, some Toronto dealers lowered their paying pdice one cent for broilers and light weight chick- ens and advanced their prices for medium weight fowl by a like amount. At Winnipeg, med- ium and heavy young turkeys. declined one to two cents. On the dressed market, heavy chickens advanced one cent at Montreal. The number of chickens, two months and older, not intended for laying, show a decline of over 20 per cent. All provinces, except Ontario, report a consid- erable decline in this category. Ontario is the most important producer of broiler chicken in Canada and therefore it is not surprising that over 30 per cent of these chicks which are being grown out for meat are found on Ontario farms. Quebec is second only to Ontario in broil- er chicken output and first in the production of roasting chick- en. This is reflected in Table 3, where Quebec is shown to have about 23 per cent of the chicks Kippenettes Meei The fourth meeting of the Thrifty Kippenettes washeld at the home of Carol Varley. The roll call, "A dinner menu we planned," was answered by many different menus. "Vege- tables For Supper and Lunch" was the topic for this meeting. Mrs. Vivan. Cooper attended the meeting and demonstrated a tomato soup and a cabbage cas- serole. Mrs. Harry Caldwell demonstrated a vegetable cen- trepiece. The, fifth meeting of the ThriftKippenettes was held at the home of Susan Lostell with 17 members present. The roll call was "A vegetable supper dish I planned." The topic for this meeting was "The Carried Lunch." Some . of the girls brought samples of sandwiches which they might take for lunch. The next meetting will be held at the home of Lois Jackson on October 15. James Drummond and while she read the address, Mrs. Ken MacKay and Mrs, Robert Kins- man presented Rena with a step ladder, kitchen stool and jack, and a smoker on behalf of SS No. 10, Tuckersmith, on their leaving the • section for town.

The decline in numbers would indicate that during the latter half of 1962 the marketing of chicken meat would decrease. During the period, July 7 to September 15, this was the case as the weekly volume of both broilers and heavy chickens slaughtered in registered plants declined two per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, compar- ed with 1961. Not a Substitute — "Canada's support of the World Food Pro- gram will not be at the expense of our other assistance activi- ties. We look upon the World Food Program as another step forward n helping to raise the levels of living of .our friends in the developing countries." James Marchall, of the Can- ada Department of Agriculture Research Station at Summer - land, BrC,, says much is heard about the dangers caused by the misuse of insecticides, but few fully realize the benefits derived from these chemicals. He says the war against insects is never ending. Without the advantage of chemicals, Okan- agan fruit growers would go out of business and the problems of raising food everywhere would increase tremendously. A greater problem than control of the dangers to humans and beneficial organisrhs, according to Mr. Marshall, is the rapid development of immunity by in- sects to each new insecticide.
