MONTEITH EXETER LTD. 235-2121 "The best 7n service tvheu you need it mast/" A loss of approximately $32,000 has accrued to the average egg producer with a 10,000 hen unit according to the recently elected president of the Ontario Started Pullet Producers Association, William Ducklow, Tavistock. Mr. Ducklow, who is also reeve of Tavistock and a former county warden, says that 95 per cent of all egg producers in Ontario are facing bankruptcy. The cost of producing a dozen eggs, he claims, is higher than the price the producer receives when he sells them. He says the only reason he's managed to continue operating without showing a loss is his 'firadlite' of processing his own eggs and eliminating the mid- dlemen. To pay horse owners for swamp fever loss The federal government will pay compensation to horse owners who have their animals destroyed under a program to rid the Canadian horse population of Equine Infectious Anemia (Swamp Fever), Agriculture Minister H. A. (Bud) Olson an- nounced today. As a service to horse owners, in February 1971, federal veterinarians started using the Coggins test and since then more than 50,000 Canadian horses have been tested through the Health of Animals Branch laboratories at Hull, Quebec. When the testing began, about seven per cent of the horses reacted positively. That was considered to be a significant rate of infection, Since then, the rate of positive reactors has dropped to about one per cent and continues to decline. Last year the federal gayer- nement also introduced requirements whereby imported horses had to react negatively to the Coggins test before they would be allowed entry to Canada. "With this lower level of in- fection, we have decided to move to the second stage of the program to eradicate the disease," Mr. Olson said. "We will pay compensation for horses that react positively to the Coggins test and are slaughtered. "There will be provision in special cases for owners to keep horses which have reacted positively under strict quarantine supervised by Health of Animals Branch veterinarians. "We have in mind cases where the horse has special value to the owner, such as valuable breeding animals and pets," he said. "These animals will be marked to identify them as positive to EIA," Details of payment of com- pensation will be announced soon. One of the functions of in- telligence is to take account of the dangers that come from trusting solely to the intelligence. , Attention Farmers Come in and check with us when buying SPRING FERTILIZERS (Bulk or Bags and) ANHYDROUS AMMONIA • Weed Control for White Beans EPTAM PATORAN TREFLAN • Control for Corn ilootetorm CHLORDANE — Di-SYS TON • Insect & Worm Control for Turnips BIPLANE —DANSANIT FURADAN BASUDiN PHOSDRIN SEWN ALSO: 2.46's M.C.P.A. w Brushkill AATREX Atruzirte) a BILADEX BANVEL 3 Quaiiity Produce (Exeter) LTD.

I would also guess there would not be more than 12,000 family farm dairy producing businesses in Ontario, all producing grade A milk, with total production ap- proximating current levels and that most of them will belong to a herd health scheme or schemes of some kind. I would guess that most of the administrative work in the in- dustry will be done by the prodocers themselves through their organizations with some government financial assistance in the transition. Of course, I will not be the Chairman or a Member of the 0111MB in 1950, but if I am still among you, I invite you to invite me back to explain why I was so far out in my predictions of 1972. D, L. MacLachlan, a provincial Aerators to keep heads The cost of running a farm rose on the average 3.1 per cent from the last quarter of 1970 to the last quarter of 1971, Statistics Canada reports. While eastern farmers faced a 2.7 per cent increase for buildings, machinery, labor and financing, western farmers faced increases of 3.5 per cent. The average cost of mortgage credit rose 9.3 per cent in the east and 7.9 per cent in the west. Total land and building costs rose 5.3 per cent in the east and 2.9 per cent in the west. Machinery and motor vehicle costs were up 3.6 per cent in the east and 3 per cent in the west. Labor costs rose 5.6 per cent in the east and 6.6 per cent in the west. farm management specialist spoke on father-Son agreements for dairy farmers. Following is the summary of his address: "Each family has to decide how they will deal with their own particular case. No two families have the same resources to work with, nor the same goals in mind. Although the new tax regulations change some of the rules, a reasonable amount of flexibility still exists, This flexibility is available td those farm families who wish to use it, The real hardship hits those families who fail to do any planning, It is where many people can offer advice, but action required can only be done by the farmer and his family, It is your responsibility." During a panel discussion on financing to-days dairy farm, Prof. G. Hutchison of the University of Guelph suggested a new credit structure' for farmers must emerge in the next 10 years in order to keep the industry viable and competitive. He added "This doesn't mean another government agency. However it will 'mean a co- ordinated effort on behalf of government, farmers' bankers, There is no point in farmers demanding such from banks on their own, Banks are doing too well now to change," Farm operation costs increase Vehicle operators must keep their heads when travelling on the road, says Hal Wright, farm safety specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, The increase in custom work and use of acreage away from the home farm has in- creased the number of farm vehicles on the road and the frequency of accidents. The Slow Moving Vehicle warning sign, a red and fluoresecent orange triangle, must be attached at the rear of the vehicle. This is required by law. If road travel is extensive, install side mirrors on the tractor. When traffic builds up behind, be courteous. Pull over to the side of the road to allow cars and trucks to go by. If it is not possible to drive on the shoulder, stop. Never drive the tractor half on and half off the road. Motorists are then forced into an ap- proaching lane of traffic to pass. When operating farm equip- ment at night, make sure that headlights and taillights are in working order. Replace burned- out bulbs and broken lenses. Wagons and other hitched vehicles should carry reflectors as well as the SMV sign to give adequate warning to oncoming traffic. When making turns across a lane of traffic, check behind to make sure that no vehicle is overtaking or pulling out to pass. Rules of the road appling to motor vehicles, also apply to farm vehicles when they are on the road, Anniversary is celebrated By MRS, RENA CALDWELL KIPPEN Mr. & Mrs. Arie Binnendyk entertained their family to dinner at the Curling Club, Seaforth, to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

"That takes our whole produc- tion." Figures released by the provincial ministry of agriculture and food this month, in their monthly crops and livestock report, claim the average price received by egg producers for a dozen eggs in April was 29.7 cents, However, Mr. Ducklow says the April price for eggs has been one of the highest. According to the same figures, the price of 29.7 cents per dozen is also close to 10 cents per dozen below the average price of 39.2 cents per dozen in April of 1970. Mr. Ducklow says the problems of the egg industry began three- to-four years ago when many producers started to over- expand. At that time, he says, egg prices were sufficiently high to induce producers to expand their operations. Since then, a combination of too many eggs produced and the dumping practices of other provinces have combined to create the lower egg prices. Mr. Ducklow is critical of W. A. Stewart, provincial agriculture minister, for his lack of attention to the growing egg crisis.
