WATCH OUT FOR CASES
WATER HEMLOCK POISON
Water hemlock poisoning is
fatal to livestock in nearly all
cases, says Dr. D. C. Blood, of
the OVC Farm Service. The
animal may live only 2 or 3
hours but if it lives beyond a
day or two you can expect
complete recovery. The symp-
toms are frothing at the mouth
and pain; the pupils of the eye
dilate and the animal groans
and grates its teeth. There may
be rapid kicking and rigid ex-
tension of the legs. Bloating
frequently occurs. There is no
effective treatment. But you
can prevent it by fencing off
wet areas containing water
hemlock.

We also have a rather baf-
fling tendency to lower the liv-
ing standard as a deliberate
policy. That is, we take some
lovely natural resource and
ruin it so that no one can
enjoy it any longer. •I cite you
the case of the Bayfield. River.
Readers in other areas can all
supply the name of their par-
ticular ruined river,
Twenty years, ago, that was
a lovely little river. It had no
economic value, except for
watering farmers' - cattle; but
in entertainment and aesthetic
values it was inexhaustible. We
caught fish in it, swam in it,
picnicked beside it, skated on
it. We rafted dawn it, feeling
like Huck Finn. When, the ice
broke up, we ,assisted by push-
ing the big cakes off into the
current, patriotically decorated
with flags.. No matter what
the season, the river had some-
thing lovely and exciting to
after,
Well, you can't get away
with that kind of thing! So
when the enlightened burghers
of the nearby towns installed
sewage systems, they incon-
tinently dumped the sewage in-
to the river.
Now it isn't a river, it's a
sewer. It smells. The high
fertility of the sewage has
caused enormous growth, and
the banks are choked with rank
weeds. No one will ever picnic
on its grassy edge again; no
child will learn to swim in it;
no one 'in his right mind would
eat a fish caught in it.
In the name of decency, can't ,
we find some better way to
dispose of sewerage? Here in
Ontario we have the most mar-
vellous system of fresh-water
lakes and rivers in the world,
and they're all so full of sew-
age that we have nowhere to
swim. If this is an instance of
our high standard of living, it's
time we stopped patting our-
selves on the back, and got our
heads examined instead.
Miles downstream from the
last town, the river flows
;through a farm; I asked the
'farmer if it was clean enough
to swim in, by the time it
had travelled all those miles.
Eloquently, he held his nose,
"You couldn't even drown in
it," he said, "You'd be poisoned
first."
personally, I don't want to
hear 'another word' about the
high standard of living in this
country until a great batch of
scholarships have been endow,
ed to set large crews of stud-
ents at work to find some sane
method of sewage disposal.
Every time I have to cross
that river (no one goes near it
deliberately any 'longer) I get
a whiff of a stench proclaiming
that this country still needs a
lot of educating before it has
enough sense of values to dis-
tinguish a high standard of liv-
ing from a shocking one,

Recently a fluid milk pro-
ducer came to the Federation
of Agriculture Office to obtain
some information on the mark-
eting agency plan for fluid
milk. Unfortunately informa-
tion is not available.
At present a petition is be-
ing circulated among the fluid
milk shippers requesting a vote
on a marketing agency plan.
Since they are given no indica-
tion as 'to how their milk will
be marketed, this petition can
only indicate the degree of dis-
satisfaction with their present
marketing methods.
If sufficient farmers sign a
petition the Whole Milk Pro-
ducers League will draw up a
detailed plan for the marketing
of fluid milk,
Since the producer of fluid
milk is only receiving 12%
cents . per quart for his milk
that retails from 22 cents up
and since custom pasturiziog
and bottling has been recently
done for 3 cents per quart for
one of our smaller villages it
would seem that producers are
well justified in trying to im-
prove the marketing of their
product.
Further there is a great deal
of over-lapping in the transpor-
tation of milk. Here again
producers could effect real sav-
ings through co-ordination of
trucking services.
Also, the producers of milk
for cheese, butter and all other
manufactured milk products
are working on marketing ag-
ency plans. If these two efforts
can be united I can see the
opportunity for great benefits.
If they can not be united I
fear that a division will take
place that will be detrimental
to the whole industry.
The basic problem in the milk
industry apparently, is the
unavoidable . small -surplus pro-
duction.-The cheese producers
for many years have been con-
tributing 'to an export fund to
remove their surplus to main-
:Gain a reasonable price at home
only to find surpluses from
other 'producers and even from
Quebec reap equal benefits
without contributing to the ex-
REAR THE .LABELS

Read and heed the warning
label on barn spray containers,
cautions Dr, Howard Neely, ex-
tension veterinarian at OW,
Barn sprays .aren't meant to
be. applied directly to cattle;
it will make them sick and
they could die, An affected
animal will usually slobber and
the eyes become swollen, Fre-
quently the tongue hangs out
of the mouth and the animal
may shiver. .(101.1 -your veter-

rendered the Ontario Cheese
producers' efforts almost use-
less.,
An aver-all milk marketing
plan could take care of this
average 2 percent surplus,
Whether two separate Market-
ing agencies can succeed re-
mains to be seen,
In closing just a few com-
ments:
I have been hearing rather
too many complaints about Ca
Ops. I don't mind discussing
these problems but I feel that
the place for discussion of these
complaints is at the annual

Beautiful But Is Bayfield River Smelly?
Beautiful Bayfield River has provided drainage for much of Huron County's
richest farm lands for many years. Also, the amount of fun which the youth
of Clinton and Bayfield, and vacationing families by the hundreds over the
years cannot be measured. The accompanying article by Vi Fremlin, native
of Clinton, in the Farmer's Advocate, should make us ponder how much
will be gotten from the Bayfield River in the future.

One of the things we're in-
elbed to go on about, in this
country, is our high standard of
:living. When it comes to cars,
television sets, and overeating,
we rate with the best. In other
respects, we're downright un-
derprivileged.
Consider education; in Rus-
sia, 20 people out of every 1;000
attend a ,university, In, the US,
it's 15 out of 1,000. But in the
land of the free and the home,
of the brave? Five per thou-
sand.
