nen -stop field shelling
with big capacity Superpicker
Want to field shell corn? Avco New Idea's
cage-type sheller interchanges with husking
unit (or field grinder). . . .delivers clean,
whole kernels with a minimum of fines, and
discharges completely shelled cobs.
With a Superpicker, you bring your corn in
the way you want it -- ear corn, shelled corn
or ground ear corn. Only Superpicker gives
you big capacity, non-stop picking and ver-
satility. . . .three big reasons why Superpicker
is the No. 1 name in corn harvesting.

Changes in crop insurance
announced for winter wheat
yield figure, so that after five
years of participation the amount
of coverage for which he can
insure will reflect his actual
average farm yield.
Henry Ediger, general manager
of the commission, said: "Since
the unusual incidence of
sprouting in winter wheat last
Year, we. felt it would be desirable
to include a grade loss or quality
factor in the plan if the farmer
wanted it.
The increase in the amount of
indemnity for early losses will
also help make the plan much
more attractive to the wheat
producers.
"The new method of setting
the insurable value of the crop
will permit our agents in the field
to underwrite each individual risk
within the guidelines laid down
and, at the same time, allow the
better farmers to purchase more
adequate coverage," he added.

NFU promised help
The National Farmers Union
has been advised by the Ontario
Hydro Employees Union that
they are prepared to send out
emergency crews, in the event of
power failures during the current
dispute with Ontario Hydro.
Walter Miller, NFU Vice
Presdient, said over the weekend,
he had been in contact with the
Canadian Union of Public
Employees, local 1000
representing the workers, and was
assured that the crews on standby
are available around the clock to
take care of any emergency that
The Crop Insurance
Commission of Ontario Saturday
announced several important
changes in its winter wheat plan
which will become effective with
the 1970-71 crop year.
Present regulations under the,
Crop Insurance Act only permit
indemnity based on a bushel
volume of guaranteed production
with no allowance for loss of
grade caused by one or more of
the perils insured against. The
commission has now amended
the regulations to permit a
farmer, at his own option, to
insure for any grade loss so
incurred below Grade 3 C.E.
In event of a claim involving
such loss of grade, the insured's
actual production will be
discounted by 15 percent to
compensate for his additional
loss.
In addition, the indemnity for
losses occurring before June 15
has been increased from 30
percent of the production
guarantee to 50 percent.
Formerly, optional coverage
was available to a level of 50, 601,
70, or 80 percent of a farmer's
average yield. The 60 percent
level is being discontinued.
The 80 percent level of
coverage will only be available to
present contract holders, or new
contract holders after they have
established two crop years'
experience in the plan.
New applicants will no longer
be required to submit their yield
records for the past five years.
The Commission is
establishing "bench mark" yield
figures for each county with an
upper limit which will permit its
underwriters to give some
consideration to the productivity
of the farm and to the
management ability of the
operator.
Each year a new contract
holder completes harvesting, his
actual yield will be substituted
for one year of his bench mark

Entries in the livestock,
poultry and pet competitions at
the Western Fair are up over
1969, the Western Fair
Association reported today.
The greatest increase is shown
in poultry and pet stock with
1,952 entries, up 147 from last
year. Dairy cattle is the next

awarded during the 1970 show,
Sept. 11 to 19, will go to
livestock, poultry and pet
exhibitors.
The number of entries in the

Tom Clapp, the associate
agricultural representative for
Huron County passes along the
following information regarding
the dangers involved with gases
while working with silage.
Once again it is silo filling time
in Huron County. I urge you, to:
— 1. Watch out for yellow brown
fumes in or near the silo. 2. Be
alert to bleach-like odors at the
silo. 3. Clear out of the area if
your throat gets irritated, or
coughing begins, or if you feel
sick.
Any of these could mean there
is deadly silo gas present. The gas
comes from fermentation of
crops high in nitrogen. Crops may
have a high nitrogen content
because of stunting due to
drought, hail or other causes as
well as excess nitrogen fertilizer
being used. Silo gas consists of
nitrogen oxides and carbon
dioxide and is dangerous to all
kinds of animals.
Not only can it kill quickly
and unexpectedly, but also it can
cause permanent damage to lungs.
Relapses may occur in people
who have apparently recovered
from exposure to the gas. In every
case of exposure to the gas, check
with your doctor immediately.
The greatest danger period
from silo gas is during silo filling
and for a considerable period
afterward — like 10 days. The gas
is heavier than air and will stay
close to the silage surface in the
silo or flow down chutes into the
silage room or into the stable.
Watch out for it when you go
back to refill the silo.
If you must go into the silo or
work in the chute, feed room or
stable, make sure there is plenty
of ventilation before you enter
the area. It may mean more work
to start up the silo blower and
operate i tfor a few minutes before
you enter the silo, but the
alternative of health problems is
even more unpleasant.
in case • of emergency
might arise from electric power
failure.
However, Ontario Hydro
management must call the union
stewards before the emergency
crews will act. "Instead of doing
this it appears that Ontario Hydro
has a policy of using'management
personnel but don't have enough
qualified people to have such
power failure restored quickly,"
Mr. Miller said.
He said that farmers who have
power failures should first
contact their local hydro office
and if service is not restored in a
reasonable time they should then
call the C.U.P.E. local at Toronto,
(phone 416-481-4491) and ask
for the name of the union steward
in their area.
Mr. Miller said according to
the information he received,
there was no reason for long
delays, as were experienced
September 4th, by Port Burwell
area farmers when a power
failure. lasting about five hours,
caused extensive damage to
tobacco crops in the kiln-drying
stages dependent upon
electricity.
He said Ontario Hydro will be
expected to cover the losses when
they are tabulated. Plans set
for plowing
Plans are going aheau for the
43rd annual Huron County
plowing match and Farm
Machinery demonstration to be
held October 10 on the Joe Ryan
farm Lot 32, Concession 14 in
McKillop Township.
A new class has been added
this year, in which plowing will be
done around the field with each
contestant required toplow three
rounds around the field.
A special prize will be donated
by Gordon McGavin for' best
corner. There will be a Queen of
the furrow contest and Horse
shoe pitching contest.
Corn and bean
days planned
The Ridgetown College of
Agricultural Technology will
hold Corn and Soybean Days
featuring research progress made
at the College.
The event will be held Friday
and Saturday, September 11 and
12, at the Agricultural College.
Guided tours from 1:30 p.m.
until 3:30 p.m. will highlight
field presentations of past results
of plots by research personnel of
the College.
The corn section displays will
include: control tests with
herbicides applied at various
stages of plant growth, plant
population and variety for corn
silage production, tillage
practices, and maintenance of
phosphorus and potassium in
corn.
The soybean section will
display varieties and variety
blends, row and seeding rates
and extensive weed control
plots, plot machinery, and a
number of displays by the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food.
Lamb premiums
being closed out
The quality premium for
lambs will be phased out at the
end of this year, completing a
process which began in April,
1968.
The $1 premium currently
paid by the Canada Department
of Agriculture applies to Choice
carcasses in the 36 to 56 pound
weight range.
The premium will continue on
lambs delivered up to and
including December 31, 1970.
The Lamb Premium Policy
was introduced in 1961 to
encourage farmers to produce the
type of lamb consumers prefer.
Since then two major changes
in market conditions have made
the premium less significant.
First, prices have risen. Second,
more lambs are being marketed
through channels where the
premium does not apply; the
premium applies only to Choice
carcasses marketed through
federally-inspected meat packing
plants.
The Department began to
phase out the premium on April
1, 1968, by dropping the $1
payment for Good carcasses and
by reducing the premium on
Choice carcasses to $1.

The Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Board recently
approved amendments to the
Ontario Broiler Chicken
Producers' Marketing Plan, which
will enable the Broiler Chicken
Producers' Marketing Board to
control and regulate the
marketing of broiler chickens in
Ontario, including the eviscerated
product originating outside the
province.
This action was necessary
because of the chaotic condition
of the market for broiler chicken
due to overproduction outside
the province. The result has been
an undermining of the Ontario
market at distress prices, which
has placed the whole industry in
jeopardy.
In making the announcement,
C.E. Mighton, Chairman,
indicated that this action will
assist the Broiler Board in
restoring stability in the market,
not only for producers but for the
industry as a whole. At the same
time, the program will assure
adequate supplies of broiler
chickens for all Ontario
markets. Sales of eviscerated
and cut-up broiler chicken from
live chickens produced outside of
Ontario will require a marketing
permit from the Ontario Broiler
Chicken Producers' Marketing
Board.
