Weed control in
corn starts here
corn herbicide .
AAtrex is the greatest name in corn herbicides.
More growers depend on AAtrex than on any
other herbicide for the simple reason that it
has more going for it.
• AAtrex is effective against both annual
broadleaf weeds and most grasses
• Control lasts through to Harvest
• AAtrex can be applied pre-plant, at plant-
ing and post-emergence
• A shallow cultivation will activate AAtrex
in dry weather ,
• AAtrex is economical
AAtrex 90W . . for those who prefer a wet-
table powder, less bulk to handle, high quality.
Also available in the familiar 80W formulation.
AAtrex Liquid, easiest to measure, mix and
keep in suspension, gives most uniform ap-
plication, covers more area with every tankful.
For more information talk to your AAtrex
dealer.
Agriculture tidbits
WITH ADRIAN VOS
Huron county pork producers and indeed, all of Hurdn
county can be proud of Ontario's Pork Hostess, our own
Miss Adriana VanRaay. I had the privilege to watch her
with several hundred more of my peers, when she stood
before this large audience and delivered her address about
the role of the Pork Hostess. She received a standing
Ovation, at least as large as Federal Ag. Minister. Whelan
got. ,And when he said later that in his view she is a queen
even if her title is not, it was as if. the audience said:
"Amen" We can only hope that this year enough girls bet-
ween the ages of 18 and 25 will compete too, as long as you,
know about pork nutrition and recipes.
On the cover of our working papers at the pork producers'
.convantion,was a, picture,,of tw.o„porkers/.The one was dated
.4973" with a pride tag _of, VZ3, acerlinpapied„by,A.prosperous . :•,, looking farmer. The second was dated 1974 with the same
$73 price tag. The companion however was dressed in rags.
This very well demonstrated the difference in input prices
the farmer has to shell out. Now the pork producers' income
is doubly jeopardized, because not only the inputs went up
but the outputs went down in price. We remain hopeful
that it will turn for the better though.
If people ever eat the Canadian Redcoat dinner that was
served to us on the first day, we know that they will return
to this fare time and time again. It's gourmet's stuff. It's
better than any meat that I've ever tasted before. It's better
than just finger-licking good. If I sound euphorious, just try
it sometime.
* *
To stay with pork, I may as well mention the Ontario Pork
Congress coming up in Stratford on June 19, 20 and 21.
Every day from 10 'a.m, till 3 p.m, is a consumer program
with all sort of goodies. In the restaurants those days will
be featured the afore mentioned Canadian Redcoat. Mm-
mmrii. That alone is worth the trouble to rent a bus and go
with the whole club.

About 100 Huron County far-
mers stand to lose money this
season because Canadian Can-
ners Ltd., of Exeter will con-
tract only for the high-risk
green pea crop, executive mem-
bers of the Ontario Vegetable
Growers Marketing Board said
Wednesday.
Aubrey Lyons, board director
for Elgin, Middlesex and Ox-
ford counties, told a green pea
and sweet corn growers'
meeting in London last week
that vertical integration allows
processors to put such a
squeeze on farmers.
Vertical integration is the
means by which processors
provide their own supplies by
renting land to grow their own
crops.
In Huron County, the far-
mers were told that the cannery
would grow all its own sweet
corn. The land around Exeter
is the best in the province for
sweet corn, yielding six tons per
acre, while the green pea yield
is only at par with the provin-
cial average, said Mr. Lyons.
"The crop with the lower
dollar potential and much
higher risk will be given to the
farmers. We are powerless to
stop this," he said.
The marketing board does
not have acreage agency powers
by which it can set farm quotas
and limit the increase of ver-
tical integration farming, he
said.
' "I hay es'often read 'about the
mysterious creature in the
mountains of Tibet called the
abominable snowman. You
don't have to go to Tibet to see
them—we've got a real snow
job right here."
Bill Collins, chairman of the
board, said a special committee
has been established to meet
with ministry officials on both
a provincial and federal revel
to push for the equalization of
vertical farming.
"We are going to try to bring
them back down, maybe to 20
per cent," said Mr. Collins.
"We are going to do the best
in our power to eliminate this
insidious method of farming by
multi-national corporations."
He also said the board com-
mittee would push for
equalized prices for vegetables
in Eastern Canada. This year
the Quebec farmers have
promised to hold out for prices
comparable to Ontario's, he
said.
"And I hope these farmers
will not settle for less. We lost
13,000 acres of beans to Quebec
last' year because of their lower
prices," said Mr. Collins.
Clarence Doron, board direc-
tor for Huron, Perth and Lamb-
ton counties, said some farmers
were attempting to hold out on
their contracts.
"Some farmers have told
them they'll grow peas if we
can get corn, but so far we've

aren't taking it very, lightly,"
he said.
"We're very unhappy about
it, but I .don't know whether
we'll be able to do anything
about it. Perhaps the growers
should unite."
Farmers at the meeting said
they would suffer a loss but
could not estimate how much.
Frank Barnes of the Ontario

program told the farmers their
insurance premiums will
