He said interest rates were never higher and suggested prime rate could drop to 12 per cent by October of this year, but, would likely rise again. A year ago, Youlton said he thought rates would be down by the end of 1979. On this he said, "I guess I told you a pack of lies last year."

EXETER 235-2200 One of the most successful years in some time was enjoyed by the Kirkton- Woodham 'Farmers Club. Secretary-treasurer Rea Stephen told 26 members at Thursday's annual meeting that a profit of $16,347.98 was realized after' business was completed as of 1979. Stephen said in addition to the more than $16,000 added to the Club's surplus ac- count, $70,000 had been paid back to members as dividends on purchases. Club members agreed that no interest would be charged A symposium entitled "Profitable Pork Production for 1980" will be held on Thursday, February 28 at the Howick Community Centre. The program is sponsored by Huron County Pork Producers in co- ope r atibtr ,Vithirthe,mOntar io . Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Registration is from 9:30-10:00 a.m. Bob Fraser,, who operates a 110-sow farrowing operation near llderton, and Joe Schaefer, Canfarm representative, Guelph, will present information about swine production and • economic records. John Arts, Seaforth, will have an illustrated com- mentary about "Produc- tivity of the Sow Herd -How We Do It." Following a hot pork . dinner at noon, Jack Hagarty, Farm Management Specialist, O.M.A.F., has taken on the challenge of discussing how to make your operation pay with 16 per cent interest. Dr. Tom Sanderson, Listowel Veterinary Clinic, will emphasize the topic on 1980 purchases until July 1. The same procedure was used in 1979. Secretary Stephen said this system provided for a big saving in office work. He added. "It now costs 25 cents for each billing and mailing." Increases of eight percent were granted to secretary- treasurer Rea Stephen and his assistant Ron Denham. Half of this amount com- prises holiday pay. Stephen will now receive $7,128 , annually and Denham's salary will be $4,428. . Incoming president Harry Weersink added, "Neither man asked for a raise, but, we felt they deserved it, especially with the extra work involved with the prepaying of fertilizer." In order to buy at a lower price, the club purchased a prepaid $400,000 worth of fertilizer f rom W.G. Thompson and Sons last fall. Rea Stephen listed the prices of fertilizer which are in effect until March 1. He said prices were continuing to rise. Stephen said" chemical prices would be up about 10 percent. He continued, "We have been told all chemicals should be worked into the ground and ground tem- perature should be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit." Gordon Youlton, manager Sam Bradshaw Engineering Assistant Removing Broken Bolts In most cases, a bolt breaks off at the edge of the hole and is very difficult to remove. Penetrating oil applied around the broken bolt will help in freeing the threads. Heat applied to the metal around the bolt will also help free the threads. To remove a broken bolt, use the following procedures in the order given. If the first procedure is not successful, try the next one. Screw-Driver or Punch Method 1. Cut a narrow slot across the center of the broken bolt with a cold chisel. 2, Place the tip of a screw driver in the slot and try to back the bolt out of the hole. If the screw driver fails to turn the bolt, use a punch and hammer in an effort to loosen the bolt. Screw-Extractor Method Bolts that are too tight to be removed with a screw driver or punch can usually be removed with a screw extractor. Screw extractors have spiraled, tapered flutes, which have a left- hand twist. They are sized by numbers ranging from Number 1 to number 12, A set with sizes from number 1 to number 6 will remove all bolts from 3h6"to 1" and will be satisfactory for most farmshop jobs. Refer to Table 5 for the proper-sized drill and extractor to use for removing different sizes of bolts and screws. Screw extractors can also be used for removing broken ends of small pipe from pipe fittings. The screw extractor has a square end on the shank and is turned with a regular tap wrench. Use the following procedure to remove a broken bolt with a screw extractor: Screw or Bolt (In.) 3/16-1/4 1/4-5/16 5/16-7/16 77'16-9/16 9/16-3/4 3/4-1 1-13/8 1 3/8-1 3/4 1 3/4-2 1/8 2 1/8-2 1/2 21/2-3 3-31/2 1. Make a center-punch mark at the exact center of the broken bolt. 2. Select the proper-sized drill, as given in the table. Drill a hole in the end of the bolt deep enough so that the small end of the screw ex- tractor will touch the bottom when the bolt is removed. 3. Select the proper-sized screw extractor, as shown in the table. Then insert the square in a tap wrench, 4. Place the fluted end into the drilled hole in the bolt. 5. Apply firm, downward pressure on the tap wrench, and turn it counterclockwise. The fluted edges of the screw extractor will grip the side of the hole and cause the bolt to back out of the hole. Note: Screw extractors are brittle because they are made of extremely hard steel, and will break if too much force is applied. If the extractor is broken, it can usually be removed if it is broken into small pieces with narrow chisel or punch. Drilling Method Broken bolts that cannot be removed by the above procedures may be removed in the following manner. 1. Drill a hold completely through the bolt, using a drill slightly smaller than the root diameter of the bolt threads. This will leave a thin shell inside the threads. 2. Drive a sharp punch between the bolt threads and the bolt hole to pry the shell loose from the sides. 3. Remove the shell and other loose particles from the hole. 4. Select the proper size tap, and screw it into the hole to straighten the marred threads, Note: A broken bolt may also be removed by drilling with the proper 'sized twist drill so that the threads can be tapped one size larger than the original bolt.

Jim Stoner, Goderich, will start the discussion rolling with an illustrated commentary, questioning stocking rates, fencing systems, various species in relation to certain programs, emergency pastures and related topics.

Dr. Jack Winch, Crop Science Department, University of Guelph, will have all the latest in- formation about the best kind of forages for dry lot and pasture operations. Of special interest are some of the new promising legumes and grasses. A number of these offer significant ad- vantages in productivity and palatability. There will be an op- portunity for discussion and sharing of each others' experiences concerning pasture, "semi-confinement or confinement management.
