Milk board seeking
industrial price rise
The Ontario Milk Marketing
Board has moved again to
increase the producer price of
industrial milk to $3.60 per
hundred -weight.
The board had attempted to
bring such an increase into effect
on May 1, but an appeal to the
Milk Commission of Ontario by
the Ontario Dairy Processors'
Council resulted in the Board
receiving instructions not to
increase the price on that
particular date because of a
number of uncertainties •in the
market.
The board believes that these
uncertainties now have been
either eliminated or resolved,
and, therefore, has filed a
regulation which will increase
the price of industrial milk
shipped from July lst by 6 Cents
per cwt.
The board has received notice
that the Ontario Dairy
Processors' Council intends to
appeal again the board's decision
to the Milk Commission of
Ontario.

Garden notes
Y.A. R, BUCKt.gV
'Nils is sl critical time for
those of you: who have good
established gardefis, for there are
many jobs to be done right now
and all of them have much
influence on the future health of
plants and the general
appearance of the garden.
Most of us try to get all these
midsummer chores done during
late June and early July and
trust that these will carry the
garden over until we return from
our annual vacations.
Many gardeners, very wisely,
gear their gardens to midsummer
neglect by planting only those
materials that need a minimum
of care and by choosing a
landscape plan that makes
gardening easier during the
summer months. These gardens
include only early and
late -spring flowers and rely upon
shrubs to give late summer and
fall color, Of course, the glory of
many late -summer and fall
pictures must be sacrificed to
achieve this end.
• Before going on vacation in
August, take care of the
following jobs: Trim the new
growth on evergreen hedges,
such as yew and cedar, for they
have just about completed their
summer's growth. If this task is
left until you get back, the
growth will be so excessive that
cutting will be difficult, 'and
after it is finished you will have
a brownish, uneven hedge.
If the hedge hasn't reached
the height you want, prune it
lightly by cutting off the ends of
the new shoots. If it has reached
the dimensions desired, prune
back to the base of the new
growth.
Your biggest task is the
eradication of weeds in the
garden before you leave. This is
a most necessary operation,
because a good weeding now will
eliminate the seeding that will
occur if the weeds are left to
flower. After a thorough
weeding, you could apply a
mulch such as peat moss or pine
needles, which will prevent other
weeds from growing and also
keep your soil moist until you
return. .For mulching your
vegetables you could use some
black polyethylene plastic
between the rows. This will
prevent the germination of most
weed seeds and will ensure a nice
clean vegetable garden for the
rest of the season.
Just before you leave, put
your house plants in the bath
tub, water them well, and cover
them with polyethylene
sheeting. They will keep moist
this way for three weeks and will
not suffer too much from loss of
light, for most bathrooms are
bright enough.
Snip off all the seed pods
from lilacs, potentilla and other
flowers. This will make the
garden look tidy -when you
return, and also ensure bigger
and better blooms next year.
Old iris flower stems may be cut
FOOD EXPORTS
Twenty-two Ontario food
processers took part in sales
missions sponsored by the
Province in 1968, states the
annual report of the Ontario
Department of Trade and
Development. The companies
gained some $6,000,000 in
initial export orders in Europe,
the U.S., the Caribbean, and
Central and South America.

right back to the leaves from
which they emerge.
You can now make new
sowings of vegetables such as
corn, carrots, leaf lettuce,
radishes and green onions. These
will give you succulent fare for
the salad bowl at a time when
plants from earlier sowings
would be too mature. These
vegetables will all be growing
when you get back from your
holiday.
While in' the sowing mood,
sow fast-growing annuals to
cover bare spots produced by
the removal of tulips or the
dieback of perennials like
oriental poppies. Seeds of sweet
alyssum, marigolds, nicotiana,
calendulas, balsam and zinnias
will germinate fast and help
supply color for your late fall
garden.
Right now, adjust the lawn
mower to give you a two to
two -and -a -half-inch cut. Do this
now so that the boy who will be
cutting your lawn will not shear
it too closely. Leave the mower
at this cutting height until the
end of August when, with cooler
weather about to return, the
grass may be closely clipped
once again.
If you are going to make a
new lawn next month, now is a
good time to grade the area and
get the soil into top condition. If
necessary, bring the top soil in
now and grade the lawn.
If your garden includes roses
and similar high maintenance
plants, other .things, to do this
month, will be the spraying with
an all-purpose fungicide and
pesticide, watering the rose
garden and perennial border,
pruning the flowering wood
from rambler roses, and tying
your staked tomato plants and
perennials.
