another commission has apparently released its report. This
time it deals with the egg industry by Judge James Ross.
From the announcement Iheardon the radio it seemed to be a
logical program. He recommended a Marketing Agency Board
organization under Bill C-176. However, the important part of
the recommendation is the regulations which are to be as
follows.
The Marketing Agency is to be set up on the order of the
Minister of Agriculture without a vote. This is a principle that I
do not like but, if there was half as much difficulty as there
appeared to be with recent attempt to have a producer vote, it
would seem to be the only way to get any action. After all, the Milk
Marketing Agency was set up without a producer vote and while I
have heard a good deal of complaining, I haven't run across
anyone who wanted to revert to the former system.
There are to be quotas for present producers on the basis of
their present facilities. I suppose the quota will be on eggs rather
than pullets though the producer is required to contract for
pullets at least six months in advance of delivery. I also suppose
that this will apply to chicks for those who grow their own
replacements,
Producers with under 500 layers are not to come under quota
regulations. Minimum prices will be fixed from time to time.
The sales quotas will be assigned to producers only, not to
suppliers of feed. Maximum size of quota will relate to flocks of
30 to 40 thousand hens,
On the whole it appears to be a sensible program but there are
some details, as yet not announced, that are needed.
How can a new producer get into the business should conditions
make it necessary fora beef or hog producer to turn to a lighter
kind of work?
Minimum prices are to be established. This is fine but does it
also mean equal price for equal quality, such as is provided by
the Ontario Hog Marketing Agency? The bonus price paid to tarp
egg producers plus free pick-up at the farm put me out of the egg
production business and I am sure this was the cause of the
disappearance of the "farm flock". I am equally sure that there
would not be any small hog producers today if the Ontario Hog
Producers did not haVe their Marketing Board. There is a
practical place for the small laying flock on many Ontario farms,
even though the small producer did have to pay more to get his
eggs to the grading station and I am also sure, after years of
buying eggs, that the small producer does not produce inferior
quality.
With the policy of "Quota Production" close to implimentation
in the egg industry, it would seem that all major farm products
will soon be produced and sold under this system. This leads me
to wonder if there isn't a better way of arriving at allocation of
quotas.
Since livestock production is so closely related to feed
production would it not be possible to allOcate quotas on the basis
of acres and quality of land? Our assessment notices have the
necessary information.
Under this system the young man would be attracted to milk
production which requires more labour, longer hours and,
apparently, better income. As the years go by and the need for
money lessens and energy grows less he could turn to beef or
hogs or hens and finally cash crop, with no chores. This could
well be my biography.

I have visited a invge number of
Canadian home gardens at
various seasons, and in almost
every case I have been told that
my visit was either too early or
too late to see the glorious display
the owners contended their
garden produced.
This situation arises mainly
from a lack of planning the garden
and the lack of knowledge of plant
materials, or by concentrating on
one or two groups of plants that
are of interest only at specific
times. Correcting this common
error in garden planning' and
organization can become an
exciting challenge and will add
much interest to your gardening
experience.
The most helpful tool in your
search for a garden for all
Spring is here and as the snows
rapidly disappear, it's time to get
your snowmobile ready for
summer storage. The job won't
take too long, and it will help you
get your machine out on the trails
a lot faster next winter.
The following suggested tips
for putting your snowmobile away
for the summer were prepared by
the service engineers at Massey-
Ferguson, a leading snowmobile
manufacturer,
First, check your owner's
manual for specific
recommendations, and, under no
circumstances, should you work
on a machine while the engine is
running. Make all adjustments
With the engine shut down. Then
clean all dirt, grease and oil from
your machine. Use a bucket of
warm water and sponge to wash
down the snowmobile. A mild
detergent will help cut the grease.
After the machine dries, sand
down any rough scratches and
touch them up with paint.
Next, raise and securely block
the rear of the machine off the
ground. Run the engine at a slow
speed to see if the drive track is
properly aligned. This should be
done either outside or in a well
ventilated area. If the track is not
aligned correctly, adjust the
position of the bogey wheels on the
rear idler shaft according .to'the
manufacturer's
recommendations.
Make sure all bogey and idler
wheels are free-turning, clean
and properly lubricated. Bent
bogey wheels and idler shafts will
cause uneven wear and
horsepower loss next season.
Now, securely block the front of
the machine, to take the weight off
the skis, and drain the fuel
system. Fuel left in the system
during the off-season will
seasons would he a garden diary
or notebook. in this you can
systematically make note of your
garden's strong points 'and
weaknesses at particular times of
the year. To assist you in the
beginning I will outlinea basic list
Of plants that are hardy in most of
Canada and are showy at different
seasons of the year.
Getting the garden under way in
early spring is often a problem,
However, with the use of minor
bulbs and a few other interesting
plants, you can expect some
activity as soon as the snow starts
to recede, which in Eastern
Canada may be about the end of
March, and of course much
earlier in milder climates.
The first bulbs to bloom at
Ottawa are the winter aconites,
snowdrops and Siberian squills.
evaporate allowing oil to collect
and gel in the carburetor.
Disconnect the fuel lines and run
the engine until it stops,. Then
remove any remaining fuel from
the tank with a siphon hose. Leave
the gas cap unscrewed but on the
tank to protect it from foreign
matter.
Remove all oil and grease from
the engine and tighten cylinder
head bolts if necessary. Remove
spark plugs, place a few drops of
motor oil in the cylinders and
manually turn the engine one or
two revolutions to keep cylinders
clean. Then replace the spark
plugs.
Wipe off the battery to remove
grease and any acid that may have
collected. Fill the cells and check
the battery a few times during the
summer to be sure it's fully
charged. Disconnect the leads
from each battery terminal so
there is no chance of a slow
electrical drain.
Next, inspect the drive system
for worn or defective parts.
Check sprocket fasteners for
tightness and the sprockets and
the drive chain for wear. Inspect
seals for leaks and replace worn
parts. Then, loosen the tension on
the drive track and drive chain.
Use warm water to clean the
drive track, Never use gas ,or oil
on the rubber. Check for'n-iissing
cleats and inserts and apply
motor oil to the fops and bottoms
of the skis.
Finally, tighten all loose nuts
and bolts, and lubricate according
to your operator's manual. Place
a protective cover over your
machine and store it in a
sheltered area,

Plant these around the base of the
February Daphne (Daphne
inezereutn) or “S white
counterpart (D. mezereum
'Album') to get' a very early
Spring picture. The bulbs, of
course, must be fall planted.
These are followed by the
Christmas rose (Helleborus
niger), the main crocus crop in
Mid-April, grape hyacinths, some
of the early Caucasian primroses
(P. juliae) cultivars, such as
Wanda, Gold Jewel and Mrs. King,
and the Korean and other golden
bells (Forsythias). A few days
later the daffodils and some of the
very early T. kaufmanniana and
T. fosteriana tulips such as
Stresa, Red Emperor, and
Cantata will provide a
spectacular display, Other more
conventional type tulips will
follow in sequence to the first
week in June, starting with the
early singles and doubles, the
Mendels, triumphs and hybrid
Darwins and finishing with the
Darwins, cottage breeder and
peony-flowered classes.
At the same time there is a
great abundance of plants in
bloom in the rock garden and
flower borders, supplemented by
flowering shrubs and an overhead
canopy of flowering crabapples
and in some areas of Canada
flowering cherries, and other
small trees.
The bountiful flowering pageant
continues to early June with the
luminous globes of the tall
bearded irises, the huge masses
of peonies, and soft lilacs and
lavenders of the enchanting
scented French hybrid lilacs. In
mid-June for a brief period we
experience the delight of huge
crepe-textured oriental poppies,
pure white mock-organges, and
the seas of light blue Siberian
irises. At the end of the month the
first flush of hybrid tea and
floribunda roses will appear and
many perennials such as shasta
daisies, erigerons and day-lilies.
During July, the lilies, day-
lilies and coral bells (Heucheras)
help bolster garden displays.
Later the gladiolus and such
summer-flowering bulbs and
tubers as tigridias and begonias,
coupled with a few large flowering
shrubs such as the smoke tree
(Cotinus coggygtia) that starts to
produce its colorful fruiting
stalks, at this time, the bottle-
brush buckeye, with its long
tapering spikes of horse-
chestnut-like blooms and the
spicebush, (Clethra alnifolia)
take us well into August.
During hot humid days of
August the heat-resistant
petunias, salvias, zinnias and
similar annuals help provide a
continuity of bloom. In the flower
border we can easily obtain a
vivid display with summer phlox
and cool plantain lilies, (Hosta),
with the bee balm (Monarda) and
the spiky Princes feather
(Liatris) for good measure.
September is the month for
asters, dahlias and the striking
garden chrysanthemums, with a
few daisy-type perennials such as
Rudbeckia, Heleniurn and
Coreopsis. The striking
monkshood (Aconitum) and
Japanese anemone also provide
spot plants of great beauty.
With October the garden enters
a special season of drama and
climactic beauty as the tints and
hues of autumn are brought from
the countryside to the foliage of
cultivated maples, oaks, and
small trees and shrubs used for
garden ornamentation. This is a
spectacle without equal in most of
Canada that firmly establishes
the garden as one of life's most
rewarding experiences.
In October the frosts are
usually sufficient to destroy the
dahlias and annuals, although
perennial asters may survive and
the new ornamental cabbages will
take on brighter and more vivid
coloring.
Many fruiting shrubs and trees,
such as the viburnums,
winterberry, crabapples,
hawthorns, and snowberries, add
bright areas to the garden through
the months of November,
December and January.
Throughout the winter the
forms and silhouettes of many
trees, particularly the weeping
kinds and vase shaped elms, add
another dimension to the garden
and with the beautiful barks of
many trees such as the London
Plane and cherries, and the bright
hark of the coral dogwood, yellow
dogwood and willows bring to the
garden a charm and interest of its
own.
