$25.72 final wheat a ment Treat
cattle
warbles
Both beef and dairy producers
should treat cattle for warbles this
fall, says Ralph Macartney, beef
specialist for the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food.
The treatment which costs 25
to 50 cents per head, will prevent
large financial losses to beef and
dairy producers.
Warble flies lay their eggs on
the legs of cattle during the
summer months and the larvae
migrate up in the backline of the
animal during the winter.
"The resulting damage in beef
cattle is twofold," says Mr.
Macartney. 'The larvae form
cysts in the fat of the carcass
which must be trimmed off • at
processing plants. This results in
reduced carcass weight."
"The larvae also bore holes
through the hide of the animal.
This devalues the price of the
hide."
The time to treat beef and
growing dairy cattle is from
September to November, while
the larvae are still in the lower
portions of the animal's body.
Since 95 percent of warbles are
found in cattle under two years of
age, Mr. Macartney says dairy
`producers would be wise to treat
their heifers.
"Treated cattle can gain up to
one quarter pounds more per day.
They will also bring higher prices
the following' spring because they
are free of warbles."

The Ontario Wheat Board has
announced a final payment of
$25.72 per tonne, the equivalent
of 70c per bushel will be made to
Ontario wheat producers by the
end of September.
Board chairman Irving
Kleiman, R.R. 1, Simcoe, said the
payment applies to wheat sold by
Ontario producers between July
1, 1976 and June 30, 1977.
Mr. Kleiman, said the final
payment was established at a
'board meeting held September 7,
at which time the board's 1976
audited financial statement was
received,
He said the final payment of
$25.72 per, tonne will bring the
total price received by producers
' for last year's crop to $114.27 per
tonne, the equivalent of $3.11 per
bushel.
Under a pooling system,
producers' received a basic 1976
initial payment of $2.00 per
bushel, plus a 41c per bushel,
interim payment, and the final
payment just announced will
complete payments for last year's
crop.
By comparison, the 1976 crop
total price is about 52c per bushel
less than the previous year's
total, reflecting substantial
decreases in• world wheat prices
during the past two years.
Last year, Ontario producers
sold 617 657 tonne, or 22,6'95,000
bushels, the largest volume since
1958. Approximately one-third of
the 1976 Ontario crop was
consumed domestically with the
remainder being exported.
Mr. Kleiman, said present price
levels are about 93c per bushel
lower than last year at the same
time.
As an example, he cited the
present Chicago September
futures wheat price at $2.26 per
bushel, compared to $3.19 one
