Want feed.
samples early
The Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food is urging
farmers who are planning to
submit samples to its Feed
Advisory Program to do so as
early as possible, IL J. Clapp, a
dairy cattle specialist with the
Ministry's Livestock Branch,
says hay crop samples should be
Sent in by the end of August and
corn silage samples should be
submitted in September.
Mr. Clapp says the reason for
the urgency is that there is
usually a glut of samples in the
fall. Last year, for example, over
20 percent of the year's samples
came in November. Under
normal circumstances, farmers
can expect the results of their
analyses within two weeks, but
with such a large number of
samples at one time the results
could take four weeks.
The dairy cattle specialist says
the best time to take a sample of
corn or hay crop silage is during
the ensiling process. In the case
of grain rations, take the sample
from various spots in the bag or
pile. A coring tool is available
from county agricultural offices
for sampling hay. Mr. Clapp
recommends that at least 25
samples be taken and then a
composite made from those
samples in order to get a
representative quantity.
Feed sampling kits are
available from county
agricultural offices. These kits
contain a small envelope for the
feed sample, a self-addressed
envelope and an information
sheet. Mr, Clapp advises farmers
to fill out the information sheet
carefully and clearly identify the
type of samples sent in.
The Ontario Government has
announced the introduction of the
Ontario fleet Calf Income
Stabilization Program as the first
such program to which reference
was made in the budget speech
last April,
The voluntary program is
based on the insurance principle
whereby a stabilization fund will
be established from the producer
and Government premiums with
the Ontario government adding
V.00 to the fund for each $1.09 of
producer premiums.
The program provides for the
establiMmentof an annual sup-
port level for weaned calves and
if the average price of weaned
calves for that year falls below
the support level a payment will
be calculated back to a per cow
basis and paid from the fund. As
mentioned above, the program
follows the insurance principle
and consequently is not designed
to cover the full costs of
production.
The support level is established
on the basis of covering 100
percent of the cash operating
eostslinla cow-calfjoperation and a
partial percentage of the costs
associated with labour,
management and return on in-
vestment. Ontario cow-calf
producers who opt to enrol in the
program must join the program
during the enrolment period in
any year. Over a five year period
payment into and out of the
stabilization fund should balance.
The program assumes that a
450 pound weaned calf will be sold
from 85 percent of the cow herd
and payment made regardless of
whether the enrolled producer
keeps or sells his calves, Cows
enrolled with the Canadian Dairy
Commission (and hence shipping
fluid or industrial milk )are not
eligible for the program

with the chemical
diethylstilbestrol (DES) a syn-
thetic growth hormone that some
experts believe causes cancer.
Canada originally had said
imports could continue if the US
would certify that cattle and beef
were free of DES. After a long
series of negotiations, trade
resumed last fall under an
agreement for procedures to
certify freedom from con-
tamination.
But Canada then imposed
world quotas on beef imports and
the United States retaliated with
a ban that went beyond cattle and
beef to include hogs and pork.
The sources here were
reluctant to discuss specific
details of the new package but
one of them said: "My un-
derstanding is that for the most
part we are lifting the quotas on
live animals."
Canada has set annual quotas
for livestock and meat imports of
which the US share is roughly
80,835 head of cattle and about 18
million pounds of beef and veal.
United States authorities have
agreed to remove quotas limiting
the import of Canadian cattle,
hogs and pork in return for a
lifting of Canadian barriers
against the import of US cattle,
high-level US government/
sources said late last week.
The agreement the sources
said now needs only the formal
signature of President Ford to
take effect. They said the
Canadians are agreeable to the
arrangement.
There was no immediate
comment from Canadian em-
bassy officials hut US sources
said they are confident that
further quotas on the import of
Canadian meat and veal can be
gradually removed beginning
early next year.
No agreement was in sight on
the issue of stringent Canadian
quotas against US egg imports,
which took effect July 5 the
sources said, and one high-
ranking government official
added: "We are under great
pressure to take some form of
retaliatory pressure although we
still hope this can be avoided."
Some US sources say getting
rid of quotas on live animals has
been one of the easier issues to
solve in a tangle of interrelated
problems arising from barriers
to agricultural trade.
Several sources interviewed
confirmed the accord on
livestock quotas but all insisted
on anonymity.
The quota problem goes back to
April, 1974, when Canada banned
the import of US beef fattened

Wind to be used
for generators
A study of the application of
wind generators for local elec-
trical power supply in Ontario
will be undertaken by the Ontario
Research Foundation, Ontario
Energy Minister, Dennis Tim-
brell, announced Monday.
The study, a joint venture of
Ontario Hydro and the Ministry
of Energy, will look at all
current technology and compare
wind generation systems with
other power sources. In addition,
the study will indicate how and
where wind generation might be
used practically in Ontario with
emphasis on the remote north.
"Wind energy offers the
potential for energy production
on a local scale with minimal
environmental impact and
freedom from the price
escalation of fossil fuels", Mr.
• Timbrell said.
"The research will be of
particular importance to the
remote communities in northern
Ontario where the Government is
interested in increasing the
availability of electrical power.
Technically, it should be possible
to supply remote northern
communities with medium
capacity wind generator
systems", he said.
"A demonstration project may
be undertaken in 1976 if the
results of the study warrant a
field test", the Minister added.
The Electrical Research
Association of the United
Kingdom which has considerable
experience with wind generation
will be working in conjunction
with the Ontario Research
Foundation on the study.
Work on the project will
commence on August 11, 1975 and
a final report will be made to the
Minister of Energy in early
November.
New program
for lambs
US cattle up
by one percent
Cattle and calves on U.S. farms
at July 1, 1975 totalled 140.1
million head, up just 1 percent
from a year ago.
Beef cow numbers recorded a 3
percent gain over last year, while
milk cow numbers were down
slightly. The number of beef
replacement heifers was down 7
percent.
Stockers and feeders, 500 lbs.
and over totalled 24.9 million
head at July 1, down 3 percent
from last year.
A new program guaranteeing a
price of $47.70 per cwt, for good
lambs was recently announced
by Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan. The program,
retroactive to January 1, 1975
runs through to December 31,
1975.
As with other recent programs,
for example, the slaughter cow
support program, the support
price is based on a national
average not on individual sales.
Consequently producers are
advised to seek out the highest
price currently offered in the
marketplace.
Whelan, hopes the program
will give sheep farmers an added
degree of confidence, leading to
expanded production and the
meeting of a larger percentage of
the Canadian demand. Data from
Statistics Canada for 1974 in-
dicates Canadian mutton and
lamb output of 18.3 million
pounds represented only 32
percent of the disappearance,
