Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1962-11-15, Page 7u rrow a in By FAIT $AIRN The day before the Ontario M i 1 k Producers' Provisional Marketing Board held its final • &pxeeting, the Cheese Producers' Board (who were also repres- ented on the provisional over- all board) presented a brief to the minister of agriculture ask- ing the provincial government to "rescind the legislation which protects whole milk ship - ars and gives them an unfair advantage over other milk pro• ducers in the province." This change would give many other farmers who are presently pro- ducing grade A milk an oppor- tunity to participate in the lucrative bottled °milk• trade, ac- cording to the cheese producers • did would greatly assist in the elimination of dairy surpluses. Cheese producers—and some other milk producers — are afraid the recently announced 19 cent per cwt. price increase to producers (which is not yet in effect) could reduce the con- spption of fluid milk and • thereby increase current sur- pluses. If retail prices went up, it is possible people might drink less milk and the cheese producers brief says Ontario's whole milk producers already "have added greatly to the fed - s erk1 government's butter sur- plus." Whole milk shippers will deny this and there are no figures available to support .either contention. The Ontario Farmers' Union has. criticized the government's moratorium on the formula price/ increase • beceuse production costs are going up and they feel farmers are entitled to a price increase. Feed costs alone have gone up six cents per cwt. of milk. The cheese ,producers also maintain that surplus fluid at WOD Board Reviews Plans For Counties { Thg board of directors of Mid -Western Ontario Develop- ment Association met in Wa- terloo council chambers last Wednesday afternoon. In the , evening a dinner meeting of Zones 3 and 4 of MODA (Wa- terloo and 'Wellington Court - ▪ ties) *as held in the Waterloo Lutheran University auditor- ium. Greetings from Waterloo *ere extended the association by Mayor James Bauer, and from Wellington County by Warden G. H. Whitelaw. The president of MODA, Ross Sav- auge, of Seaforth, outlined the work *program for the coming year, and made a plea for the support of every municipality in the', area. . The address of the evening was given by Dr. Ralph Kreu- ger, Professor of Geography of Waterloo University. His ad- • dress *featured "Planning or Chaos," which referred p. icu larly to the Kitchener, loo, 'Guelph area, with its rap- idly increasing population. Area planning, he said, is a vi- tal necessity. He felt that there should first be an.inven- tory of resources; then defin- ite plans laid; then these plans implemented into action. He told of a piece of land in Huron County that was purchased for $50 an acre, which consisted of stumps and swamp land. The purchaser, a. native of Holland, prlepared the land for the growth*of certain crops of vege- ta les, and the same land ta- d is valued at $1,000 per acre. he Economic Survey and Feasability Study, ' now being conducted by MODA in the Mid -Western Ontario region, consisting of Huron, Perth, Wa- • terloo •nd. Wellington Coun- ties, is laying the groundwork for a planned future, he said, for these areas. Kreuger was very critical of municipalities th't did not co-operate with the M DA, as he felt they were hd playing their part in the fu re dovelopment of their o area. Kreuger was introduced b , C. Goos, of Preston, and th Inked by J. D. Oaks, Guelph. Both are past presidents of MODA, and Mr. Oaks has re- cently been elected as Presi- dent of Ontario Regional De- * velpppmeftt Council. All four Huron directors were present at both meetings: Murray Greene, of Exeter; Rob- ert Squire, of Goderich; Leon- ard Winter, of Clinton, and Ross Savauge, of Seaforth. e Dr. Klieuger's mother, Mrs. Kreuger; his aunt, Mrs. Ings, and his uncle, Albert Horner, are all residents of Seaforth.

They, clam the quota system is not neces- sary today in order to maintain continuity of milk supplies for the fluid trade. Also, since re- presentatives of fluid producers assured the federal government they would devise a marketing plan that "would establish a voluntary system of helping to eliminate surplus dairy pro- ducts" which has not been done, the cheese producers would like to have the Ontario gov- ernment take action. The cheese group also an- nounced support for recom- mendations made in the Mac- Farlane, Wood, Carncross re- port on milk marketing made early in 1961. They would also like to have the four dairy pro- ducer groups presently in ex- istenee retained under any milk marketing plan. Representatives of the east• ern agricultural conference who come from ' the Martime and Ontario Federations of Agricul- ture, the LCC, Co-op Federee and Farmers' Association of Quebec had a meeting with the federal minister of agriculture last week. They pressed for a continuation of the federal feed hssistance policies and their extension to Ontario corn and wheat. The big problem, according to this group, is the inadequate movement of feed grains into eastern Canada be- fore the close of navigation which results in higher prices to farmers during the winter months. They would like the federal government to offer .some assistance on storage charges at the lakehead and on grain stocks still not sold in eastern Canada by the opening of navigation. Agriculture Min- ister Hamilton has announced the government's intention to introduce new policies concern- ing storage of feed grains. The conference also request- ed programs to stimulate beef production in eastern Canada, reinstatement of the three dol. lar hog premium and the full program of lime assistance, stricter control of garbage feed- ing of hogs to prevent hog chol- era, quarterly, rather than an- nual deficiency payments on lambs and reduction in freight rates between western and eastern Canada. They ,,also ask- ed the federal minister for some special help for maritime farmers who had the worst weather in their history this year and suffered disastrous losses in hay and other crops.

BLYTH FAIR REVIEWS YEAR; SUCCESSFUL DESPITE RAIN Directors and committee members of Blyth Agricultural Society held their first meeting since the fair on Wednesday evening at the home of the sec- retary -treasurer, Mrs. Robert Marshall.

They enthusiastically discussed many plans for the 1963 fair, to make it bigger and better than ever. A motion was made to pay all outstanding local accounts, including the 1962 prize money in full.

According to the lat- est publication on agricultural statistics; there are over 40,000 cows kept mainly for milk•'pur- poses in Huron County. Dairy- ing is gaining in importance and there is every indication for such a trend to continue in Huron. The existing milk qual- ity control program for all On- tario, supported by regulations made under the Milk Industry Act, is demanding more exact- ing techniques of milk produc- tion. In order to be successful, the dairyman must make the fullest use of every new or im- proved method applicable to dairying. The dairyman is be- coming more and more a Spe- cialist in his operation. One ,of the attributes of a successful dairyman is that he must • be a good "Cow Man." We often hear that "watchama- callit" is a good "cow man." What •makes a man, this way? Well, here are a few things they have in common: (1) They never hurry, hit or holler at a cow. A scared cow and a scared jack rabbit give appro4,mately the same amount of milk. They treat the cow like an animal—not like a ma- chine in a milk factory. (2) When they milk, they milk. The machine comes off, always, when the cow is milk- ed. It isn't yanked off so that the teats snaps like a rubber band either. (3) They are reasonably reg- ular in their milking times. (4) They find out what they need to put in the front end to get milk out of the bbttom end—and they put it there—if they've got .it. (5) They feed dry cows and heifers as though they were going to milk eventually and don't discount them because— for the time being—they aren't milking. (6) They do all they can to make Bess comfortable — no lice, plenty of bedding, reason - Be Warmly Contented With Texaco Stove Oil or TEXACO FURNACE FUEL OIL Call Us Today I WALDEN & BROADFOOT Phone 686 W Seaforth • EVY Never before has a brand-new car won such im- SPECTACULAII mediate sales acceptance.

(7) They watch for foot rot,,, milk fever, mastitis, scratches, etc., and try to do something for their ailing charges, or get Doc to help out. (8) Most good "cow men" have to dry off old Bess, other- wise old Bess takes care of it herself. Good "cow men" keep cows milking and never take the chance that causes a drop. Chances like: (a) Cows hud- dling up in the winter cold, wind and snow; (b) using a cow dog that cannot be called off; (c) Running out of grain Sun- day morning at 5:45 a.m.; (d) Leaving the barn door unlatch: ed on Jan. 10, at 6:30 p.m. Yes, the big thing that makes a "cow man" a "cow man" is that he can get and hold pro- duction up on each cow. It isn't easy to be a good "cow man," but it is more profitable. From time to time nutrition- ists and economists compare the proportion of the nation's food supply derived from each commodity group with the pro- portion of the consumer's dol- lar spent for each food group. Dairy foods rank at the top of such comparisons because, while only a fifth of the food dollar is spent for dairy foods considerably more than a fifth of the total nutrients in the na- tional food supply is deprived from dairy foods. Consumers in Ontario are very fortunate to be blessed with an ample supply of whole- some safe dairy- foods.
