don, on Feb. 9th.
OTHER CROPS: There will be no
interim payment for 1982 crop winter
wheat, thanks to vomitoxin problems
and restrictions. The 1982 white bean
initial payment of $11.96 may be all
that's coming, because prices are so
bad. Quaker oats contracts for milling
oats could be harder to find and '83
prices around $160 mt. delivery Peter-
borough, according to Bob Hutton, a
feed dealer who spoke at a recent
seminar about the oats outlook.
POULTRY PRODUCTION INCREASING:
374 million broiler -type chicks were
hatched in December, 1982, in the U.S..
according to the Dept. of Agriculture in
Washington. The figure represents a
2% increase from the previous Decem-
ber. Another 31 million egg -type chicks
also were hatched, marking a 6% drop
from the previous December. 121/2 mil-
lion turkeys were hatched in December,
up 4% from the previous year. 1983
poultry production should be up 2 or
3% from 1982. 1982 was up 1% over
'81.
CITY SHOPPERS PAID MORE FOR
BEEF AND PORK IN JANUARY, but
farmers got paid less. Retail beef prices
in Ontario rose 4 cents in January,
compared to February, while the farm
gate price fell 2 cents a pound, accord-
ing to the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture's latest food basket figures.
Pork prices at retail, rose 5 cents, while
farm levels dropped 2 cents. Chicken
was steady at retail but down 4 cents a
pound on the farm. Turkey was steady
on the shelf but down 2 cents on the
farm. Dairy products rose 17 cents in
January, while farmers got just 3 cents
of that. The spread however did not
work against the farmer on eggs or
fruit. Eggs fell at retail and at farm.
Processed fruits dropped a penny at
retail while January farm levels held
steady.11

SURFACE INLETS
APPLICATIONS:
• PARALLEL TERRACE OUTLETS
As s bright orange. free standing inlet it .4 durable,
easy to sae and easily maintained.
• LOW SPOT SURFACE INLETS.
The need for gravel fill over ole is eliminated. silt
lays on Inc surface and does not seal up es with
ravel inlets.
CATCH BASINS
A silt trap is not needed. first the water ponds to
deposit silt, then runs into the inlet. The vertical
inlet area exceeds outlet area eliminating suction and
preventing trash plug sept.
• INFILTRATION INLET RISER:
A special inner user can be inserted to maintain
ponding at a certain level to improve water inldoa'
tion in semiarid regions.
ADVANTAGES:
• HIGH OUALITY MATERIAL.
Intakes are made of high density polyethylene which is resis-
tant tc attack by all widely used agei chemicals. High density
polyethylene also gives excellent endurance.
• LARGE OR SMALL:
6. 10 or 20 inch diameter inlets with 1 inch holes or 1 inch
wide slots suit all inlet requirements. A plastic orifice plate
can quickly be cut to size to provide the required inlet capacity.

All parts, Tees. Offsets, Risers and Inlets snap together for in.
stallatlon ease. Risers and Inlets can be cut off to suitable
lengths.
