NORTH EXETER, ONTARIO (519) 235.1380 .Centrcilla girls enter tournament Watch out for chickens on the roads. This is the time of year when there is lots there for them to, eat. Loads of grain roll by on their way to the elevators and sortie of this grain finds its way onto, the road. On Highway 4 north of Hensall, the shoulders of the road turn a lush green at this time of year. How does the grain get there? Well, one research proj6ct looked at an un- covered 3 ton truck hauling a load of wheat. Travelling at 30 m,p.h. for eight miles the truck lost as much as 17 bushels of grain. Oats are even worse than wheat. The same truck travelling at 50 m.p.h. for 6 miles in a 5 m.p.h. wind can lose 24 bushels of oats. This grain is simply blown off or sucked off by the air passing over it. A cover such as a tar- paulin, eliminates the problem. Never mind the rain water that the tarp will keep out. If you are hauling grain in a truck you should be able to justify the cost of a tarp and effort to use it. Roo Fleming, Agricultural Engineer. One man feeds 550 By DAN SHUTE Wow! One man can feed 550 cattle in just 45 minutes! Charlie O'Shea told the Kirkton 4-H Beef Club this as he showed 'us around and explained his feedlot setup. His slatted floor barn is fed by an automatic feeder. It is divided into eight separate pens, and needs to be cleaned only twice each year. After the completion of the tour the club judged a class of market steers. Then we retired to the house for a short lesson on common health problems in the cow- calf herd. Tickets for the club's fund- raising draw to be held September 13 at KirktonFair were then distributed to each member. It was decided that the club would construct a display to be entered in the Mitchell, Kirkton I and Stratford fairs. The Kirkton Beef Club was proud to send three of its members; Bruce Ross, Tim Shute and Tim Walker to the 4-H Regional Conference at Centralia College on August 5, 6 and 7. • It is the highest form of self respect to admit mis- takes and to make amends for them. Income stabilization for corn, soybeans, whtteheanS winter wheat 1980 In 1979 plans were es- tablished to help farmers stabilize their income from Corn, soybeans. whitebeens, and winter wheat. The plans have a definite term of 3 years to cover the crop years 1979. 1980 and 1981. 'The year 1980 is the second year of these three year plans. Farmers who did not apply in 1979 for any of the four crops may now enroll for the two years remaining. Farmers who did enroll in 1979 but wish to increase the production enrolled may do so now. The final date for new or increased enrolments is September 1st, 1980. For further details and enrol- ment forms, please contact the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Don Pullen, Agricultural Representative. Ontario to Manitoba hay program Keith Watson. Hay Co- Ordinator for Manitoba, reports that over 1500 Railway cars have been shipped from Ontario to Manitoba since early July. In addition to the railway, approximately 100 trucks have taken loads West, Effective August 1st further movement will be terminated to reassess the conditions and requirements in Manitoba and set tip to transport under the con- ditions of the Quarantine for the Cereal Leaf Beetle, During the past couple of weeks there have been some rains which have brought along the annual forages in Manitoba. Farmers now wish to see what kinds of yields they are going to have before making further com- mitments for purchases. Under the Cereal Leaf Beetle Quarantine, hay that has been cut and stored un- der cover prior to'August 1st can be shipped upon inspec- tion. This inspection is under the supervision of Agriculture Canada - Plant Products and Quarantine Division. Hay cut after August 1st could move if the forage was sprayed with insectidide prior to cutting or if the loads of hay were fumigated. Cost may be prohibitive. All hay can move freely after January. If someone is interested, e.g, trucker, in shipping hay they would require the Plant Quarantine Certificate number as well as the Province of Manitoba EHP number to allow the buyer or shipper the benefit of the ,subsidy: The inspection would in- volve contacting Agriculture Canada to inspect the various barns of hay a shipper would like to ship. A Certificate of Movement would be issued for the number of bales or tons in the barn. The shipper would then be free to load from those lecAtions indicating the movement certifiCate number location, In the Juture shipping will be based on demand in Manitoba. As Mr. Watson receives orders, he will forward them to reliable agents in Ontario to be fill- ed. He expects these agents will be set up in a few weeks. An attempt has been made to get most hay shippers to contact the local farmers who have offered hay for sale on various lists drawn up at County Agricultural of- fices. Don Pullen. Agricultural Representative. Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan has an- nounced thit Canadian weaner pig producers will receive a support payment of $1.00 per weaner pig sold between, April 1, 1979 and March 31, 1980. The program will cost about $6.5 million. Weaner pigs are generally sold when they weigh 30 to 50 pounds, Some, pork producers raise their own weaners, and keep them through to the finished market weight. But about 60 per cent of the 11 million hogs marketed in 1979-80 came from specialized weaner pig producers, and were sold to hog finishers. "Market hogs are named for mandatory support under the Agricultural Stabilization Act," Mr.. Whelan said. "And because the market jute during 1979- 80 was below the five-year average, announced a deficiency payment of $2.46 per hundredweight in May. "While that payment helped the producers who raise their own weaners, it did not help specialized weaner producers. Losses in that segment of industry were at least as bad as in the market hog sector," Mr. Whelan said. He explained that weaner pigs are usually sold ac- cording to a formula based on the current market hog price. As a result of sharply lower market hog prices, the weaner price dropped from more than $40 per piglet in the first quarter of 1979 to the $27 range in the last quarter. The average return for market hogs in 1979-80 was $513.59. Given the relationship between market returns and cash costs of production for market hogs and weaner Staffa bride is honored By MRS. J.

"Weaner pig producers provide the basis for Canada's pork industry, which had total farm sales of $1.1 billion,' and which grossed more than $250 million in exports last year. Given the importance of the pork industry, it is necessary that weaner pig producers receive assistance during this difficult period in the hog cycle," Mr. Whelan said. Weaner pig producers pan apply for assistance on up to 5,000 pigs, Application forms will be available shortly from the terminal stockyard offices and the federal regional livestock offices.
