HURON COUNTYRMERS'
New British Bacon Contract
Incentive to Breed Sows
Gerald E. Nelson, Galin-on,assist-
lent agricultural representative for
H6ron, in an interview with The
N IS-RE1oOtRID, dii'scusses several
matters of interest to Tanners and
Junior Farmers.
We are now commencinganother
new year of activities and one which
it is hoped will be ]nappy and pros-
perous for all. The year 1946 was
very successful from the standpoint
of -crop production and prices receiv-
ed, and despite Iabeur and material
chortages,'most farmers finished the
year in a good financial position.
"1947 is hoped to be a year of in-
-created livestock production ,except -
Mg beef cattle and sheep, an in-
erease of 'dairy precincts and eggs
and a large acreage devoted to the
,growing of feed. grains.. The inarket
Outlook for 1947 looks vary ggroinis-
h g. too, for it is very likely that
there will be a market. Por any farm
products available in Canada at a
pa?ee higher than is now "being" re-
ceived outside Canada,.
"It is hoped too; that the hog pro-
sluetion will be materially increased
to meet Canada's eoanmitment to the
Thirsted Kingdon. The new bacon
contract, recently announced by Fed-
eral Agricultural Minister Gardiner,
with an average increase in value
of $5 per hog, or $4 increase per
hundredweigh , will mean consider-
able to ever hog ;producer in Can-
ada. This renouncement should be
a challenge to fanners in Huron
County to breed more sows this
winter and plan to increase their
individual bacon output.
Treat for Lice a
"At this time of year, and more fo
advisably' when cattle go into winter
quarters, should farmers pay atten-
tion to their cattle for the presence
of Tice and treat for them accord
ingly, It is estimated that, proved-
ing conditions are ideal, one pair of
flee would increase to over twenty
million in the four-month period,
November to February. March is
usuaIIy the peak month. Losses
caused by cattle, lice are generally
overlooked by herd dwners until sev-
eral animals nib out some hair, be-
come unthrifty and restless. Poorly
kept cattle are frequently seen, with
large bare patches and , the skin
scraped and scored, resulting from
the animal trying to get relief from
the torment of millions of lice. The
•.1 loss in Ontario, caused by cattle
lee each winter, would amount to
housands of dollars, in the • same
ay as the warble fly can cause
remendous Ioss.
"Incidentally, •t might mention that
tattle sprayed for warbles are also
'leaned of lice and other parasites
in .the same' operation. This I con-
sider, would Ibe a strong ,point in
favour of farmers treating their
cattle for warbles; either 'mechani-
cally oe by hand, the latter method,
of course, being much more economi-
cal. It would pay a'fanner many
tunes over to spend an afternoon o7.•
two and, with a scrubbing brush
and pail,give each animal 'a :thorough
scrubbing with a -commercial powder,
usually procurable at drug or hard-
ware stores, and used according to
directions on the container, ,, This is
the most •eoanmon method of lice con-
trol in Ontario.
"Three species, of lice are com-
monly found on Ontario cattle dur-
ing the winter period only, bowline.
practically all cattle, with exception
of service bulls and youngcalves,
are on pasture six -;or more months
of the year, and during this period.
conditions are not favourable to lice.'
The exposure to sun and rain results
in a clean-up, allowing the cattle 'to
eat and grow.
"Summing up louse control, it is
well to keep the following points in
mind:
(1) Animals should reeeive suf-
ficient quantities of balanced food
to keep them in good condition, with
a sleek rather than dry harsh skin.
(2) Ml pens, previously, occupied
by infested animals, should" be thee=
oughly cleaned before being used
again.
(8). Begin louse control work as'
soon as cattle go into winter quar-
ters,
(4) Anactive vigorous campaign
gaunt lien will well repay any ef-
its to bring about their control,
Seed Requirements
"This is the time of -year whe should be lining up their see
requirements and supply for th
spring. .A, fanner should take steek
of what surplus seed grain he ha
for sale and have it cleaned an
graded in readiness for an earl
nnazket. We would Eke to have i
the office 1 list of all surplue seed
for sale er d also requi"oments, So
