EARN MORE: Broadcasting part of the Fer-
tilizer for next year's row crops prior to plowing this
fall is a convenient and efficient means of getting needed
plant food into the soil. For example, when you
fertilize for corn as little as 150 lbs. of mixed fertilizer
need be applied as a starter and the rergainder of the
total requirements can be broadcast.
Maximize Profits — set yield goals and shoot for them.
Fertilizers represent the most effective means of in-
creasing yields and profits.•
SAVE MORE: Use CO-OP bulk spreading serv-
ice and reduce your labour and machinery costs.
CO-OP bulk spreading saves you time and effort and
actually costs very little. Your fertilizer is spread at
approximately bag prices. With Co-op modern equip-
ment you are assured of fast service and uniform dis-
tribution of the fertilizer.

The Veterinary Services
Laboratory at Centralia will
bring a new and important
service to farmers in the
midwestern Ontario area. The
Department already has such
diagnostic facilities at
Ridgetown, Guelph, Kemptville,
Brighton and New Liskeard.
When the former
Commonwealth Air Training
Station at Centralia was closed
several years ago, the
Department of Agriculture and
Food moved in to establish the
Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology there, and this past
year the first class of graduating
students received their diplomas.
Courses are offered in
Agriculture and Home
Economics, and the course of
study for Animal Health
Technicians, formerly conducted
at Ridgetown, under the
direction of Dr. G. R. Doidge,
was transferred to the Centralia
campus this past summer.
The new Veterinary Services
Laboratory at Centralia results
from conversion of the former
Air Force Base Hospital into a
highly satisfactory facility. The

installation of necessary
equipment has been proceeding
on schedule, and it is expected
that the Laboratory will be open
for service to the public late in
October or early November.
Upon graduation from the
Ontario Veterinary College, he
worked for a short time in large
animal practice in St. Marys,
Ontario, as assistant to Dr, G. A.
Schiedel, returning to the O.V.C.
to undertake postgraduate
studies, leading • to a Master's
Degree. During this period he
took charge of the fur-bearing
animal diseases laboratory at the
College, where he conducted
diagnostic services, teaching and
research.
From 1962 to 1964 Dr.
Pridham studied pathology and
virology at the University of
Connecticut, with particular
emphasis on poultry pathology.
He returned to the Ontario
Veterinary College and the
diagnostic service he had
previously been engaged in, until
joining the Pfizer Company
Limited as a field veterinarian,
providing technical services in
the poultry and animal
production areas.
He joined the staff of the
Veterinary Services Branch of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food in October
1968, and has been assistant
head at the Regional Veterinary
Services Laboratory at
Kemptville. He will immediately
assume his new responsibilities
as head of the Regional
Veterinary Services Laboratory
located at the Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology,
Huron Park, Ontario.
Turnip crop
will be lower
According to a recent survey
by the Ontario Turnip Council,
the crop in Ontario will be 35 to
40% below a year ago, based on
present prospects. The 1969
turnip acreage was reduced, due
mostly to low prices on the
previous year's crop, together
with high producer costs for
labor and materials. Weather
conditions to date in many
turnip-growing areas of Ontario
have not favored maximum
yields; however, quality is
excellent.
There were 1,790,813 bushels
of turnips exported to the
United States from the 1968
Ontario crop. This is 169,293
bushels above the previous year.
In the United States, the Ontario
product is widely known as the
Canadian Delectable Rutabaga.
Demands on both the export
and domestic markets in recent
weeks have been considerably
above normal for this time of
year and prices to producers
have reflected this upward trend.
After reviewing the situation,
the Ontario Turnip Council at a
recent meeting concluded that
the coming shipping season will
be a Very active one, with
supplies of good-quality turnips
being cleared away early.

Silo filling is in full swing,
The silage is of good quality
with cobs relatively well filled.
The yield is about average,
running about 15 tons to the
acre.
Some farmers are seeding
their fall wheat. The fields are
still fairly hard and therefore
difficult to plow,
Pastures and hay fields are
coming back slowly. We need
some more warm weather to
insure against winter kill.
The bean harvest is 95%
completed. Last week's rain
increased the moisture and
greatly reduced the amount of
splitting when combining.
