In order to encourage and maintain adequate supplies to meet the future needs of our country and of the world,” The members were told that Canada i s still hopeful of a United Kingdom cheese export this fall, because a surplus does exist. This, said the commission­ er, would benefit all the dairy industry as well as open the ex­ port doox- to the United Kingdom. He told the men that at the present time 97 million pounds of butter is in storage, an in­ crease of 17 million over that of last year, and that there is a 10-million-pound cheese surplus this year. .However, 19 53 has brought a decreased stock of con­ centrated milk.

SOUTHCOTT It was not what we advertised but the fact that we ran a Classi­ fied Section in The Times-Advo- cate that caused one lady with ecstatic joy to embrace another lady, a complete stranger, in our office Monday morning. , It was this way. The wife of an airforce officer, recently arrived in Exeter from Dawson Creek, Rukon, came into the office to insert a classified. She had lost her hand bag that contained a $100 money order, besides a fair amount of cash. After writing out the advertise­ ment we stood talking when I saw Mrs. Wilbur Martin approach the front door with two hand­ bags. I remarked “Here comes your bag.” The lady turned and as Mrs. Martin entered the door she was met with a very warm embrace expressive of the other lady's delight at seeing the lost article. Three people were made happy; the lady who lost purse, Mrs.' Martin who was lighted to meet the owner of purse and ourselves because were able to bring two people together on such an occasion. But that is not all th© Classi­ fieds do. The other day a sub­ scriber, while paying for his paper, stated that he had saved $15 through a classified adver­ tisement. That one ad, he said, paid for his subscription to the paper for the next five years. her de- the we a small screw loosens in spectacles and you can not it tightened, apply a drop if your keep of nail polish to the screw head.

Bv D. I. HOOPER Chemical Age? We’ll be and will this col- pays off in and whether Chemical research has added more and more profits to farm­ ing. The first really great dis­ covery in the past decade or so was 2-4-D. From this outstand­ ing beginning, private research laboratories have produced more and more selective, weed-killers. Next came the ‘‘defoliants”. The three main chemicals in this field—endothol, pentachlorophen­ ol and sodium cyanamid—kills the foliage and speeds up matur­ ity. Ontario Crop and Soils Im­ provement Associations have done much to demonstrate this new type of harvest on a practical basis throughout the province. The first large scale demonstra­ tion we witnessed was at the “Cash Crop Day” at Granton in, 1952. To the casual observer there, last year, this project was easily overlooked. This year it is different. Two custom operators of “Hi-Boy Sprayers” are working in this district. Vic Hogarth, Exeter, was the contacting agent. Vic, in spite of his physical disability, is perhaps th© most knowledge­ able spray man of the area. Being curious as to costs and benefits of this operation we took a half an houx’ to sit down and investigate it. One of the operators, W. McLellan, London, Ontario, gave it a very clear picture. He said they were using “Aero” Cyanamid Soluble” — active ingredient — “Monosod­ ium Cyanamide”. The cost of spraying was $9 per acre, applied. This just about floored us until he explained this included between $2 and $3 worth of nitrogen, which is in the spray, in urea form. This is a great saving in time and money as it does not necessitate cover­ ing the ground with "aero pills” oi’ high nitrogen fertilizer to rot the cornstalks. Mr. McLellan also thought that the corn in this area should have been sprayed approximately 10 to 14 days earlier. He felt that, as it takes that much time for the spray to take full affect farmers rail less risk of weather during harvest, and also stood a better chance of being able to get the land ploughed this fall, especially where large acreages are involved. We also asked him if he 1 thought $6 an acre for defoliant was good business. He was very definite on this point. The cost of hauling to and from a drier plus drying costs, the hard work and time involved and the corn loss were equal to three times the cost of spraying defoliant, in his opinion. While not exactly a confirmed “defoliant enthusiast”, this col­ umn can see a great future in this method of harvest. Picking corn varities suitable for the growing season of this area do not give the highest yields. Many longer maturity hybrids have substantially higher yield scores but up to now have been very risky propositions as to harvest and storage. The two large acreages that we know of sprayed in this area with defoliant are located at Tuckey Bros, farm, lot 30, con. 5, Usborne, and at Jim Fairbairn’s farm, lot 25, con. 2, Usborne. We trust that they left a check strip in these fields in order to ob­ serve whether ' it moisture content the liquid nitrogen applied shows up in next year’s crop, seeing them some time let you know through umn.
