The Ontarib "Department of
Agriculture is taking over su-
pervision of the grading of the
$100 million annual tobacco
crop when auctions reopen in
1963. The producers' marketing
board will continue to employ
the graders as they did when
the Canada Department of Ag-
riculture supervised the work,
but responsibility for grading
will be in the hands of Doug
Williams, Director of the On-
tario Farm Products Inspection
Service. He will be responsible
to a grading committee appoint-
ed eby the ODA and the pro-
ducers' board. Producers have
appointed three representatives
to this committee.
This change was announced
by E. M. Biggs, deputy minister
of agriculture after a meeting
last week between members, of
the producer board, George Mc-
Cague, chairman of the Ontario
Farm Products Marketing Board
and Mr. Biggs. At the time of
writing it had not been ratified
by a full meeting of the pro-
ducers' board but since a ma-
jority attended the Toronto
BACKACHE
May be Warning
Backache is often caused by lazy
kidney action. When kidneys get out of
order, excess acids and wastes remain
in the system. Then backache, dis-
turbed rest or that tired -out and heavy -
headed feeling may soon follow. That's
the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal
action. Then you feel better -sleep
better -work better. Get Dodd's
Kidney Pills now. 59

meeting, it is anticipated that
it will be accepted before auc-
tions open -on January 3rd.
Improper grading has been
one of the causes of the difficul-
ties encountered by the board
since sales began on the 1962
crop -at least, it was claimed
by buyers to be a major fac-
tor. They said most of the to-
bacco they refused to buy was
carrying a grade that priced too
high. When the sales operation
was resumed just before Christ-
mas -after the producer board
was assured of funds to pur-
chase the 'no sale' tobacco -lots
bought by the board- were
checked after purchase. We un-
derstand that a very high per-
centage of this tobacco was im-
properly graded and was com-
manding a better price than it
should have.
The board employs about 60
graders who were under the su-
pervision of 17 Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture graders.
Obviously, there has been some
laxity in the supervision or
some misunderstanding or mis-
interpretation of the official de-
scription of the grades. What-
ever the cause of the improper
grading, Mr. Biggs says the
Ontario Inspection Service will
now develop a close cohesive
unit for grading the tobacco.
It will not be subject to any
pressures from producers, buy-
ers or the producers' board.
The committee appointed by the
ODA and the board .will be the
only party to whom the grad-
ing unit is responsible.
It would appear the tobacco
producers and their board must
accept much of the responsibil-
ity for their recent troubles.
And speaking of producers'
troubles, the Ontario Federation1
of Agriculture was suddenly
left without a secretary -man-
ager when H. M. 'Herb' Ar-
buckle resigned to accept the
post of Associate Marketing
Commissioner for the Ontario
Department of Agriculture. Mr.
Arbuckle had been with the
OFA since 1954 and for the last
six years was secretary -manag-
er. The OFA is currently adver-
tising for applicants for the
post which it is hoped will be
filled by mid-February. Mean-
while, president A. H. K. Mus-
grave is acting secretary -man-
ager.
In his new post, Mr. Arbuckle
will be responsible for the ad-
ministrative detail of the On-
tario Farm Products Marketing
Board, thus relieving chairman
George McCague, of some of
the heavy burden he has been
carrying. While ' Agriculture
Minister Stewart, in making the
announcement, did not specify
that Mr. Arbuckle would also be
'an understudy' for McCague,
his appointment does fill 'a gap
which existed previously in the
marketing board. The Ontario
Federation of Agriculture would
no-t_he_ faced with its current
problem of finding a successor
for Mr. Arbuckle had he had
'an understudy' while he was
secretary -manager.

CARMEN THROUGH SIX DECADES -Operatic' divas of the past have often been as ..col-
orful as the operas they performed in, as evidenced by these photographs of famous Car -
mens throughout the years. They are (left to right) Gladys Swarthout, who sang the role
from 1939 to 1945; Minnie Hauk, the first American Carmen, who performed the role in
1878; Geraldine Farrar and Emma Calve, who sang it at the 'Met' in the early 1900s; and
Rosa Ponselle, whose Carmen was the last broadcast role she sang at the Met' prior to
her retirement in 1937. This year's Metropolitan Opera series, heard Saturday after-
noons on the CBC radio network, promises to be the most colorful in years with such fa-
miliar operas as Don Gipvanni, Boris Godunov and Otello, along with works such as Adriana
Lecouvreur, and Ariadne Auf Naxos, never before broadcast on this series.

TIPS
ON BROOD
SOW CARE
The ration you feed your brood sow
during gestation will help decide the
size, strength and condition of the
litter she'll farrow. Don't try to cheat
your brood sow, it can't be done.
In fact, in an effort to maintain her
own body, a sow will resorb some of
the tiny embryos. In this way you
might be losing pigs you never even
see because your sow'si.nutritional re-
quirements are not met. If you don't
feed her properly, through the gesta-
tion period you'll get smaller litters.
Watch your sow's weight and condi-
tion carefully. The average sow should
gain from 100 to 115 pounds during
gestation. Provide plenty of water.
We rec mmend hand feeding each
sow 4% 6 lbs. per day of Purina Sow
Chow Concentrate and grain, mixed
1 to 4, or of Purina Sow Chow Com-
plete. In addition your sow will make
good use of high quality, leafy hay
if you have it avail.ible, Tests at
Purina's Research Farm have shown
that feeding is even more important
than breeding if, you want to farrow
those big, healthy litters. Give me a
call, or drop in. I'd like to tell you
about Purina's Hog Feeding Program
for baby pigs too!
