Company PERTH FEDERATION REPORTS - I.. ED. DEARING At VVheat Producer County annual meetings across Canada, in the next six weeks, wheat producers will be asked to make decision regarding financing of of the Ontario Wheat Pro- ducers' Marketing Board. Ac- cording to financial -experts, it has become necessary for an im- proved financial system to con- tinue the purchase of surplus wheat. • Basically, the issue is simple. What is needed is ample credit at harvest time to insure the board's operation of purchasing surplus wheat as it is offered by dealers. Conditions at harvest time in 1963 proved too haz-• ardous for the board's normal credit arrangements, and addi- tional'loans had to be negotiat- ed in a hurry. The 1962 rebate money was pledged as collateral to additional loans, and every- thing worked out well, especial- ly after some very unexpected sales were made for cash on the export market. The two key factors were ..sufficient credit to cover purchases and export sales. If it were not for the fact that export sales were made, the -1962 rebate money would still be held as' collater- al and the situation would in- deed be acute. Of a• total of 2,600,000 bushels purchased by the board to date, all but 283,- 000, bushels.. have. been sold. This involved credit of 4.2 mil- lion dollars. After exhaustive study -of sev- eral ways to improve the finan- cial situation, and following meetings with the Farm Pro- ducts' Marketing Board, the On- tario Wheat Producers' Market- ing Board recommends to, and will seek approval of, all On- tario wheat producers for an increase in the amount of levy, to be deducted on wheat sold, for the purpose of establishing a more, adequate stabilization fund: In order that all producers may be afforded the opportun- ity of full ,discussion and par- ticipation regarding the propos- ed levy increase, it is planned to present the proposal at an- nual county meetings in .late January. or February. •Explana- tions will be given at these meetings and wheat producers in attendance' will be asked to vete by- ballot regarding the_.pro- posal. BalIots will be sealed and forwarded directly to the Ontario Farm Products Market- ing Board. All producers will. be notified of the time and place of their county meeting. In. _brief, the .proposal being recommended is that the deduc- tion be up to 10 per cent ,of the negotiated minimum price (floor `price).. At the present minimum price of $1.65 per Now is the time to do something about your egg income — to get the highest possible return from your flock.

One cent of this would still be designated as license fee which in the past has serve ed to cover administration costs. The remainder, or 15%e, would be accumulated as the stabiliza- tion fund taking the place of the present 9c deduction for this purpose. The -15%c would provide $1,550,000.00 baked on an average of •10 million bush- els each year,. The unused por- tion would be rebated to pro- ducers as in past years. Perth 'County has a stake in this -program. Statistics for the 1962 crop year show Perth with 260 producers and,a total pro- duction of 232,50bushels, of which 76,510 bushels were of- fered for sale. The decision of those producers attending the scheduled meetings will be the determining' factor in whether or' "riot an improved system is implemented by the board. This matter deserves the thoughtful consideration of all producers and their attendance at county meetings. I wonder how many of Perth's 260 producers will attend their annual meeting on Tuesday, February 4th. Fern Culture Is New Hobby Ferns, with their varied, and fresh, green foliage (fronds) are attractive and .. popular house plants. Most kinds will thrive in medium light and should not be exposed to strong sunlight. An east, west or north window is a good location. Horticulturists with the On- tario Department of Agriculture. say that February is the best month for repotting ferns. , A suitable soil mixture is three partsloam, one part sand, one part leaf mould or peat, and one part well -totted manure. A commercial potting mixture may be used, but the humus content -should bb increased by adding peat moss. When repotting removethe plant from the pot and cut off the old fronds close to the• crown. Loosen the roots and divide the crown with a sharp knife.: 'Then repot and almost cover the crown with soil. Ferns prefer a. moist,_humid atmosphere, and should be kept out of draughts. They may need watering daily or every three or foul days, depending upon humidity and. the temperature. Do not allow them to dry out. A weak solution A of complete liquid fertilizer may be applied every fewweeks once the plants are established in their pots. Scales and mealy bugs are two .insects which may `attack ferns. Control may be obtain- ed by washing or brushing the plants off' with soapy water, or two teaspoons of 40% Nicotine sulphate to a gallon or soapy water. ALL KINDS of. INSURANCE W. E.

The book . is on sale in England, Ireland- and Scotland. Copies have been placed •in the National Library of Wales, and in university lib- raries in Canada. R. A. Munn, the author, was b.grn at Moncrieff, October 21; 1906, and resides now at 6 Lans- dale Drive, Guelph. Commenting on the book, the Guelph Mercury, in a recent issue, said: "With a background of a boy- hood life in the Moncrieff area of Ontario, Robert A. Munn has written a book about a young lad living in the early 19th cen- tury, when Canada was still largely a wilderness. "Mr. Munn's parents and grandparents were born in the Brussell's area and ' his father was the, village blackksmith at Moncrieff for some 25 years. "As a boy he sat and listen- ed to stories of the early 'set- tling of the country 'and has written a book about a boy liv- ing in those times. "Mr. Munn farmed for five years after finishing his'school- ing and came to Guelph in 1927 to work with the Commercial Motor .Bodies Limited on Wool- wich St., building truck cabs and bodies. He later joined the staff of Shell Oil Company work- ing in Guelph, .Kitchener, and Galt for 20 years. "As the company expanded the smaller offices were closed and Mr. Munn preferred to find employment in Guelph rather than join the larger office of the firm in Toronto:. - "He joined the • stain of the Guelph Reformatory where he is still enjoying his employment. He is married and has two daughters, Mts. George Pater- son, Guelph; and Mrs. Douglas Elvy, of Conestoga." Butter Cream Icing Dissolve tine' teaspoon instant coffee in 1/8 cup boiling water.

DIETZ ON COLD WEATHER POULTRY MANAGEMENT 1. Ventilate house. Let fresh air in without admitting drafts; let damp, moisture -laden air out. If strong am- monia fumes hit you when you open the house in the morning, more venti- lation is needed. Insulation is an abso lute must before prop er.ventilation is attained in cold weather. 2. Provide plenty of ice free water..Keep water at 50° or higher. Your birds will not think enough to maintain peak production if forced to drink icy Water. If necessary, use automatic electric water warmers. 3. Erxtra light pays. Provide enough light to make a 14 hour day; 1 watt to 'every 4 sq. ft. of floor space. Use dim night -light if desired. 4. Keep flock on feed. Your hens have to eat tn,_Iay. A slight drop in feed consumption may be a first indication that a stress condition exists that could result in a laying slump. To increase consumption feed Purina Boost -R -Aid. 5.

Gladio- lus thrips overwinter on corms and if • conditions are suitable will feed and multiply during the storage period. Dusting the corms with 5%.D.D.T. will give effective control of thrips. Use one ounce of dust per bushel of corms. Small numbers may be treated by shaking them with a small amount of dust in a paper bag. Discard any corms that show signs of disease, or corms that have brown markings on them. Planting such corms will per- petuate the disease. BACKACHE? ..wr ec!
