Sunflowers can grow nearly anywhere, but seldom
do they grow on the top of a tree. This oddity was
spotted sprouting 10 feet up in a partially cut down
maple tree at 238 Victoria Street. The plant seems

National Chicken Agency formed
BY
JACK RIDDELL,
M.P.P.
1 am pleased to an-
nounce that the National
Chicken Agency is now
fully operational and that.
the Federal Assistant
Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, Dr. Trant,
went to Washington on
September- 19 to begin
negotiations for import
controls with the U.S.
Department of
Agriculture.
For some time, I have
pressured the federal and
provincial governments,
because I firmly believe
Ontario's chicken in-
dustry will only survive if
immediate and effective,
action is taken' to restrict.
U.S. imports-. In my view,
the importation of live
chicken from the U,S.
should cease untilthe end
of the year and a
regulatory system for all
importation of
eviscerated chicken
should be -implemented.
Our chicken industry is
in serious difficulty due to
Turn "brown" thumb
green with course
Would you like to turn
your "brown thumb" into
a "green thumb"? Would
you like to learn more
about decorating with
plants (e.g. making dish
gardens, terrariums)?
Would you like to lean
how to make attractive
macrame plant hangers?
If so, the Indoor r Gar-
dening program spon-
sored by the Home
Economics Branch of the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture & Food is for
you. Knowing the basics
of plant culture will give
you a better un-
derstanding of how to
raise plants and how to
feel comfortable growing
them.
So, if your group
(whether an organized
one or` just an informal
group consisting of a few
interested friends)
wishes. - o participate,
'send'• one or preferably
two leaders to a two-day
leaders' workshop where
he -she will obtain the
members' pamphlets and
learn all the necessary
information and skills
needed to teach their
respective groups.
The date for the
workshops are as
follows: Clinton, Mon.
and Tues., October 15th
and 16th, 10 am - 4 pm;
W ingham, Mon, and
Tues., October 22nd and
23rd, 10 am - 4 pm;
Exeter, Wed. and Thurs,,,
October 24th and 25th, 10
am-4pm.
Although there is no
cost for the pr�gram,
interested groups should
re istler by October 4th,

Chicken production has

the prime objective is, of
course, to ensure that all
market requirements are
met, at the same time
avoiding the 'disastrous

With the exception of
Newfoundland, all

ends, although the plans

completely frustrated by
unregulated US imports.
Under the terms of
GATT, a nation must
demonstrate orderly
marketing before import
controls can be
negotiated. Now that the
National Chicken Agency
is fully operational, and
has established a system
of 'penalties for over-

there is every reason to
hope that the U.S. threat
to our --chicken producers
can be removed.

If you haven't fertilized your hay fields
by now, you're 3 weeks behind
GET NT DONE NOW!!!
- Legume seed is very expensive, so it
pays to fertilize properly for
a long lasting stand.
Many Growers have been asking lately -
"WHAT IS WINTERKILL?"
Winter kill is essentially 4- things:
1. It is heaving. Freezing - and -. thawing soil literally
heaves plants from the earth., breaking and exposing roots.
Y
2. It is smothering. Plants can't breathe, actually smother
from ice sheets formed over the soil with little snow cover.
A fast -breathing plant will choke on toxic byproducts of its
own respiration when those toxins can't get out.
3. It is drought. Plants can't get enough to drink from a
frozen soil that .is like a dry soil.
4. It is rupture. Plant cells rupture as the plant freezes, its
cells loose water and ice crystals form in the plant tissue
and rupture cell walls,
How does fall fertilization winterize a crop?
Adequate fertility lowers the freezing point of cell sap,
insures stronger roots, and reduces respiration and water
Toss.
With the adequate moisture we received this past summer,
hay yields were excellent. Be sure to replace your soil
inventories of phosphorous and potassium.

raters in Huron tops in province
Huron continues to lead
Ontario farm production
accordingto the statistids
for 1978 which were
released last week by the
ministry of agricultdlre
and food. .
The county topped the
list for fodder `corn,
barley and dry white
beans, was second for
grain corn production,
third in mixed grain and
fifth in hay. Oat and
winter wheat production
was sixth among Ontario
counties.
Although Huron's total
land area of 840,960 acres
is fourth in the province,
,it leads the way in total
area of' improved farm
land with 518,940 acres.
Of the total population of
56,005, there are'
15,415
listed as rural farm
population and 19,200 as
non-farm.
There were 4,145 farm
taxfilers in 1978 with an
average net farm income
of $4,534 and off -farm net
income of $5,1407 for a
total of $9,94Q. • '
`The breakdown for
value of the various
Huron crops was as
follows:
Winter wheat - 19,000
acres, 47 bushel to the
acre, 893,000 bushel
production for value of
$2,688,000,
Plowing Match on
The '1979 International
Plowing Ma.tch and Farm
Machinery Show, Sep-
tember 25 to 29, features
more than 600 exhibits on
a 52 -hectare (130) acre)
site near Chatham,
making it the largest
outdoor fa,rm machinery
show in North America.
Under the huge tents of
"Tented City", visitors
can seethe latest farm
equipment and
agricultural supplies. It's
a good opportunity to
survey the products
available, before you
decide to buy. But . you
don't have to be a farmer
to enjoy the farm
machinery show. There
are plenty of exhibits ..of
interest to everyone,
including 1980
automobiles and
recreational vehicles,
building supplies, and
.,home appliances.
One exhibit which will
interest both farmers and
non -farmers is the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
energy and farming
display, housed in three
tents.
"The energy display
will highlight some of the
research projects funded
by the ministry," says
Max Kurp, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture
and Food exhibits
supervisor.
Half of the display is
devoted to solar energy
research. Outside the
tents, there is a three -
square -metre (36 -square -
foot) experimental solar
• collector operating.
Inside, visitors can see
some of the instruments
in solar research. One
unusual piece of equip-
ment is the heliodon, a
machine used by
scientists to determine
where the collector
should be placed to
achieve the maximum
amount of sunlight. The
other segment of the
energy display focuses on
errergy management and
the different areas in
which energy -is con-
sumedon the farm.
Housed in another tent
is the quality corn
exhibit.
"The main purpose of
this exhibit Is to en-
courage the production of
high quality corn," says
Mr. Kurp. "Thlere is an
increasing demand for
high-quality corn for
industrial purposes."
Agricultural con-
sultants and other
ministry personnel will
be available at the exhibit
to answer questions about
production problems, the
Ontario farm produc-
tivity incentive program,
and other ministry
programs.
The International
Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show site is
located on the Ian
Maynard and neigh-
boring farms, five
kilometres (three miles)
south of Chatham, on
Highway 40.

acres, 86 bushel to the
acre, 13,416,000 bushel

594,000 cwt. production
for value of $6,718,000.
The value of livestock,
of course, also lists Huron
near the top in many
categories. Some of those
statistics for 1978 were as
follows: .
1,900 bulls one year and
over valued at $1,484,000;
