THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO
THURSDAY, JUNE 17th, 1943 -
URGED TO, ORDER
FEED GRASN ,NOW ..
"3• aced; with theprobability of a
light (crop of feed grain, in On-
tario as a result of the backward
spring season, and this coupled
with an '.exceptional demand from
the United' States for 'Canadian
grain,, Ontario farmers are urged
to .'bit now all the Western .feed•
grain t1iey will requirefor; stock
• feeding during the next season,
so that the production of. hogs
and other livestock can :be rriain-
tained at'th;e high level.required
• by Britisla q. iotas.
Hon. P. 1g. Dewah, Ontario
minister of .Agriculture; after ex-
tensive •consultation with the
Feed, Controller at Ottawa, stated
that he lead received from that
official an assurance that suffic-
i: hrq an itres--of feed",w heat;Sarz
ley and oats can be made avail-
able to Ontario farmers, if orders
are ;immediately forthcoming.
This grain will be shipped under
the federal freight subsidy. ,plan,
so that there will be no freight
charges-ta•be paid by the farmers.
• Last ' Mr. Dewan;
many disappointrrients were :ex-
perienced by farmers • who were
• unable .to secure the additional
.feed they required. Feed grain
can be .moved'by rail at the pre-
sent .,tin..e. Ontario, .farmers can
estimate very closely, the amount
they .will require from now until
the 1944 crop andto make cer=
• rain of securing delivery, they
should place their .orders immed-
iately, in order. ' that shipments
can be initiated at once:
Mr. Dewan further'emphasized
that it ,would be ' most` unfortun-
ate if Ontario fanners, because
of a light crop; should' liquidate
livestock, especially, .. sows •or
dairy cattle, since there is an
ample supply of feed grains a-
vailable in Western Canada. He
again, urged, however, that orders
be placed now> with their. dealers
but warned . that under the best
of arrangements some delays • in
delivery would occur. Between
now and winter it is possible to
move sufficient to _meet the East-
ern situation, but to do this grain
must move freely during' June,
July and August. ,.,1_ • • ° •

, The'°Dairy Branch of 'the On-
'tario Department of Agriculture
is issuing • notices. to all cream
producers shoring low tests of
butterfat, -pointing out that ]ow
testing' cream is not economical,
and that they should strive to
raise their tests to a' figure be-
tween 83 . and 38 , per cent butter-
fat. ,It ,is' pointed out -that cream-
eries can. be operated to much
better advantage if, the test aver-
ages around ;35' per cent, and .that
cream testing around the 35 per
cent figure also' keeps better,,,
which °is a decided `advantage in
