Page 'Nine Fieldman comments Those 'garden paths not always beautiful By J. CARL HEMINGWAY HFA Fieldman At this time of year, "Gar- den Paths" are a dung of beauty. Those of you Who have visited Niagara, Ottawa, .or the gardens at Hamilton will real- ize the thrill of "Garden Paths", Many farm lawns and flower gardens as well as ur- ban homes are worthy of sub speed-liinit driving. Yet I doubt that any of these can compare with the beautiful "Garden Paths" down which farmers have been led period- ically over the past several years. Vertical integration was one of these, Broiler • growers per- haps accepted this advice more readily - than any other group. But 13, 14 or 15 cent broilers has shown that this path can lead to a dead end, Then we were :told that farms were .too small and production too low and inefficient. We must correct all of these. Hog producers took the bait and: suffered accordingly but they did smarten up quite quickly and their industry is again comparatively s eta s f a ctory. Perhaps their organization can. be given credit for this since they can and do give detailed andaccurate information on markets end marketings of their product. Again, how often have we been told that if only farmers would accept production con- trols their prices would in- crease andall would he well? Of course the experts all agreed that this was impossible with. farmers. But the Almighty has very effectively controlled production. With what. results? According to the London Free Press of July 19, the OFA. called a •meeting of experts to consider what it termed - "as looming crisis" of increased prices farm products.

Differential in hog price ay.. erages between the Ontario• and Chicago markets has been the; highest in recent months than it's been oyer a long period of years, revealed Emerson E. ' Crocker, RR 1, Mossley, district director of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers Marketing Board. Mr. Crocker said this was one of the factors indicating the success of the new teletype selling program in Ontario. "I'm more than pleased with. the results of the new method of sale up to now," he told The; Times -Advocate this week. "The difference over Chicago: has been well above the aver- age for the past 15 years," he. stated. He also indicated that surveys showed that the prices received - by Ontario producers were as. good as, or better than, those received by producers any- where else in the wo Wiwi to other.farm commod-_ ties. Mr. Mossley said he had also been impressed with the num..: of . delegations fr countries and other provinces" who have inspected the new teletype sales method. "With-' out a: doubt, this system is at- oftracting the attention ers everywhere." He noted, too, that other pro.- daucer groups in Ont. been looking at the system. He confirmed: that the most frequent complaint about the: new system resultsfrom the fluctuating prices, even during' a single day, However, he main- tained this was: an integral part of auction •selling w not be avoided. The district director praisedry Huron hog producers' associa-: tion for organizing bus trips: of producers to Toronto to show them the mechanical operation: of the system. "I am' more than pleased. with the way. Huron is taking ,advantage of this opportunity to let their, people see' how this new method. works" ' He also lauded the new qual- ity programwhich is being; launched by Huron producers. "Huron is more or less pion-.• eering in this field and its ex nerience will be a great help.. to the zone," he ,commented. Huron county crop report By DOUGLAS H. MILES Huron Ag Rep Thundershowers and heavy rains are severely hampering farm operations. Some haying still remains to be done. A large number of wheat and spring grain fields are fiat and will have to be combined direct one way. The flattening of grain' will !likely reduce yields. Some wheat will be -cut at the end of this week or .early next week. ' Plan to fumigate the grain l left in your granary if it's .in- fested. Professor Harold Goble, Provincial. Entomologist, sug- gests making the bin as .gas- tight as possible and following manufacturer's recommenda- tions when using fumigants. Some cautions; work in pairs. and do the job as quickly as possible. Open the doors and !windows and wear .a recom- mended gas mask. Remove livestock from the stable im- mediately below the bin before applying fumigants.
