Marketing Board
Approves Grant
For OAC Study
The Ontario Bigg and Fowl
Producers' Marketing Board has
approved a request fur a grant
from the Department of Agri-
cultural Economies of the On-
tario Agricultural College,
Guelph,
The research project for
which the funds will be used
consists of a study of egg mar-
keting channels through which
eggs reach the consumer, It will
also indicate the volume of eggs
sold through the various distri-
bution systems,.
Professor S, H. Lane, Head
of the Department of Agricul-
tural Economics will direct the
program which will be handled
by members of his staff.
The grant for Marketing
Channel research is in addition
to the three studies which the
Board is currently conducting.
These are large scale studies of
consumer attitudes, manage-
ment methods, and contract
egg production practices. It is
expected that the data for these
three programs will be obtained
by late September, and the
Secretary of the Board, C. A.
Loomis, indicates that the re-
sults will be published before
the year end.
While the information from
these researches will greatly
assist the Board in its promo-
tional efforts, it is also evident
that the results are eagerly
awaited by many companies
engaged in supplying products
to this multi-million dollar in-
dustry.
Breeding Gilts
"The best time to breed gilts
is at the third or fourth heat
period," advises J. G. Norrish,
Department of Animal Husban-
dry, O.A.C., Guelph.
In one report, research point-
ed out that the rate of ovulation
in gilts increased from the first
to the fourth heat. Therefore,
slightly larger litters can be ex-
pected from gilts bred at the
fourth heat than at the first or
second. If a gilt has the first
heat at five to six months of
age, then the fourth should oc-
cur at eight to Si months. Heat
periods normally occur every
21 days in pigs.
According to Mr. Norrish,
weight at breeding is also as-
sociated with larger litters, At
to u months of age, a gilt
should weigh 25;1 to 300 pounds.

Of Many Things
by Ambrose Hills
SOME EARTHY THOUGHTS
A fellow sold me five hush -
el baskets of earth for the
lawn. Charged me five dollars,
which I didn't think was cheap
dirt, or dirt cheap. And it will
only make the grass grow faster
and need cutting oftener. Yet
I find nice fresh black soil darn
hard to resist.
When you stop to think, just
about everything material we
possess must come from such
earth, Once the wealth is pro-
duced, we can fight over it all
we like --but to produce it in
the first place somebody has to
roll up his sleeves or oil up his
jack -hammer and dig it out or
crop it. That's an elementary
bit of knowledge, but easily
forgotten.
In Ottawa and other capitals
it appears to be totally forgot-
ten at times. There seems to
be a feeling there that a group
of ordinary men, seated in an
impressive chamber, with a
certain amount of ceremony,
can talk us into prosperity or
depression.
The fact, of course, is that
this group of men was never,
originally, expected to try any
such fool thing. They were put
there to make a few rules about
general conduct, to protect
those who produced goods from
having them stolen by robbers
or pirates or other rapacious
nations. In the beginning, even
morons weren't silly enough to
think that such men could sit
and talk grain from the earth
or diamonds from the mines.
It is surprising how we lose
sight of obvious facts as our
civilization gets more complex
There are kids today who really
don't realize that milk comes
from cows; they've only seen it
in bottles or cartons delivered
to the door every day. A gener-
ation of that type also gets to
think that housing springs up,
by magic, because the govern-
ment provides it. I have never
seen a government pour a
single ounce of concrete!
Everybody ought to buy a
bit of earth and think some
earthy thoughts.

Outline Careers
In Agriculture
By Brochure
If you are a high school stu-
dent, you will be interested in
this brochure. It was handed
out at the Ontario Department
of Agriculture exhibit in the
Careers Building at this year's
CNE. Outlined in the pamphlet
are many careers open to gradu-
ates of courses in agriculture.
A career in agriculture has
much to offer high school gradu•
ates. Students may have a
farm background or only a slight
acquaintance with agriculture
and still find success and satis-
faction in a career in agricul-
ture. Graduates may want to
work in a related industry; they
may like research, or want to
teach. Whatever their interest,
they will find in this brochure
information that will help them
understand the challenge and
satisfaction of a career as a
graduate in agriculture.
If you haven't a copy of the
brochure "Careers For Graduates
in Agriculture" from the Exhi-
bition, ask for one from the In-
formation Branch, Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, Par-
liament Buildings, Toronto 2.
This slim blue and white leaf-
let could be the turning point
for your entire future!
