Fieldman comments
Greater production
lessens the returns
By J. CARL, HEMINGWAY
Federation Fieldman
Huron County Soil and Crop
Improvement Association held
a well -attended dinner and an -
p ual meeting at Belgave, No -
tither 28,
resident Clarence Shaw
Pointed out the advantages that
have been provided by im-
proved plant breeding that has
done much to increase our
yields of cereal grains and for-
age crops. However, he added,
that if farmers are •to gain full
advantage of the built-in poten-
tial of these new seeds we must
provide a correspondingly im-
proved environment.
Through the next year the
efforts of the organization will
be directed toward soil and cul-
tivation methods in order that
the efforts of the plant breed-
ers may be. fully utilized.
It was a real pleasure for
me to attend this meeting in
which I had no definite re:
sponsibility and 1 wish to ex-
press my appreciation to the
organization for their kind in-
vitation.
However it has become a
habit with ane to try to some-
how reach some evaluation of
all organizations. While it, is
readily apparent that a farmer
cannot make a living unless
he has products to sell by the
same token he has no income
unless there is margin of selling
price over cost of production.
While improved production
does increase returns to certain
individual producers it has re-
sulted in decreased returns to
agriculture, This statement i
supported by Dr, Ralph Camp.
bell of the OAC,
In recent years Ontario farm•
ers have enjoyed prosperity in
the late forties and early fifties
and improved production play-
ed its part but the basic reason
was due to the losses suffered
by European •countries in a
disastrous war.
It appears that 1962 may also
be a prosperous year for On-
tario farmers but again it
seems to me that this prosper-
ity will be due to a drought,
that was disastrous to many
Western farmers, Can Ontario
farmers then only expect to
improve their position at the
expense of some one else?
One might take this cynical
attitude except for the most
important "crop” that this and
other farm organizations is
producing, namely an abundant
supply of capable, experienced
and talented leaders. Never
was there a tine in agricul-
tural history when need was
greater for outstanding farm
leadership. We owe a debt of
gratitude to these various or-
ganizations for providing the
opportunity and training for
these men.
In closing I would extend ap-
preciation to all those respon-
sible for a successful federa-'
tion annual meeting on No-
vember 29; to the ladies of
Londesboro for the dinner, to
the officers of the Federation,
the guest speaker and to Miss
Gilchrist and finally to those
who have accepted responsibil-
ity for the coming years.
Soil and crop ass'n

Farmers are swinging from
grain to pasture for feed, Hu-
ron Soil and Crop Improvement
Ass'n was told at its annual
meeting last week in Belgrave,
Kenneth Bragg, representing
a fertilizer manufacturer, said
that while grain has been the
traditional feed, the trend is to
pasture because it is the cheap-
est food to produce.
11 also leaves the land in bet-
ter condition than most cash
crops, he pointed out.
Mr. Bragg emphasized the
savings that can be made on
fertilizer costs with the use of
soil tests to indicate the proper
analyses required.

ROP ration
found best
•
Agricultural scientists, in
their search for better methods
of feeding farm animals (meth-
ods which eventually benefit
Ontario people in all walks of
life) are questioning the belief
that meat or fish tankage plus
grain .and a little salt make a
good pig feed.
According to latest results of
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture scientist J, G. Norrish,
extra c a l c i u m, phosphorus,
vitamins, and antibiotics are
needed to make a balanced pig
feed. A properly supplemented
ROP ration 'appears to do an
excellent job. The ROP ration
is so named because it is used
as a feed record of perform-
ance studies with purebred
pigs.
Mr. Norrish, who is employed
with the animal husbandry de-
partment at OAC, divided 30
weanling pigs into 5 groups.
Each group got a different ra-
tion — all -oats, all -barley, all -
