Saturday, Aug. 19

The controversial drug DES,
widely used to promote growth in
cattle was suspended Monday by
the federal government.
The health and agriculture
departments said DES would be
suspended effectiveJanuaryl,
The United States recently
banned use of the drug because it
had caused cancer in rats,
Canada did not immediately
follow suit. Growers had ex-
pressed fear a ban would raise
meat costs,
The Canadian action came
after a non-governmental group
made the rather confusing
conclusion that there is no danger
health but there are some im-
portant reasons in conjunction
with our international trading
partners in meat products why
we have to stay in line with the
U.S. decision,"
"Those countries who have
suspended or banned the use of
DES in their own beef production
prohibit the importation of meat
from countries where use of the
chemicals is allowed", he said.
He said, "that situation is
unfortunate in a way but
Canadian cattle producers will be
able to compete, provided our
neighbours are not allowed to use
growth stimulants denied to our
producers."
Locally, Clarence Hardy,
president of the Middlesex Beef
Producers said, "This govern-
ment reaction comes from a
public outcry and now it's back to
slow growth again,
Behaviour of the weatherfnan
in the next couple of weeks will
decide whether most farm crops
are successful or well below
normal this year.
Huron's Associate Ag Rep Mike
Miller said this week a lot of good
warm weather is needed to bring
New tractor
on preview
"They're just amazing," stated
Jack VanBussel this week after
his return from Waterloo, Iowa,
where he was given a preview of
the new line of John Deere
tractors to be unveiled this
weekend.
The Huron Tractor (Exeter)
Ltd. head was accompanied on
the three-day jaunt by two other
members of the firm, Herb
Cunningham and Harry Winters.
VanBussel said the four new
tractors to be unveiled at open
houses at dealers this Saturday
are completely new and feature
space-age technology.
The three were most impressed
with the sound' guard body ;;vhibh

crops along successfully.
The barley and corn crops
seem to have been hit the hardest
by the wet and cool weather,
Miller said the barley crop is one
of the poorest in years with some
weighing in at 35-39 pounds per
bushel. Minimum weight for
commercial purposes is 48
pounds per bushel,
The excessively hot weather of
a couple of weeks ago caused the
barley to ripen too fast and the
kernels never filled out properly,
said Miller. "As well the fast
growing conditions caused the
crop to grow too much straw and
much of it fell over."
Harvesting of all grains is
reported about ten days behind
normal schedule. Miller reported
most corn was coming along
quite well despite the killer frost
of June 10.
A lot of corn fields including the
ones replanted the week of June
15 are very uneven and will need
good late fall weather to mature
properly.
The white bean crops are also a
little spotty but are listed by
Miller to be "fair to'good."
At the Canadian Canners plant
in Exeter, manager Jack
Urquhart reports a similar
harvesting situation with both
pea and corn packs running a
little late. The pea crop will
continue for another two weeks
because of slow ripening process
Increase in
milk quotas
The Ontario Milk Marketing
Board is advising all milk
producers that there will be a
general increase in their Market-
Sharing quotas effective Sep-
tember 1, 1972.
This increase is in accordance
with the views of the Canadian
Dairy Commission and the dairy
industry representatives from
various provinces on the milk
supply management committee,
that there is a need for a greater
production of milk for
manufacturing into dairy
products in the current dairy
year.
Market-Sharing quotas are a
means of aligning the amount of
milk produced with market
demand.
Repeated defoliation by insects
or anything else will result in

percent of the world's surface

-Urquhart listed the pea crop as
yielding "slightly above
average," First of the canning
corn is expected to be ready the
first week in September. Added
Urquhart, "If we get a lot of hot
weather that date could be moved
up to August 28."
The local manager also said the
corn crop is a bit uneven, but,
"the yield looks to be there,"

In addition to the canning of
peas a mixture of peas and
carrots are also being processed
at the local plant. The carrots are
being trucked in from the Erieau
Marsh and Jeanette's Creek.
The local factory has been
running single shifts most of the
time due mainly to the fact the
pea harvest has been well
stretched out.
