ESS ES STURN ANN SAY \"COUNTRY NOTEBOOK\" by Walker Riley Macdonald College Eleven acres of thirteen successively maturing varieties went in on the eighth of May Another seven acres were planted on Queen Victoria's misplaced birthday in pouring rain.Now we have two clear months to worry how we can pick, sell, and deliver eighteen thousand dozen cobs of sweet corn in the month of August to an unpredictable, irrational summer clientèle.On the College Farm, the seeding of field corn also started May 8.One hundred and fifty acres and sixteen days later, it is almost complete.Atrazine is still the number one herbicide for weed control in corn, Two and a half pounds is the amount usually recom: mended for ordinary weed conditions, Usual time to apply is right after seeding, while you can still see the rows for a guide.But it can go on anytime up to the point the weeds are two inches high.Adding a gallon and a half of «special vil makes Atrazine more effec: tive against emerged weeds, but it is a waste of money if there is no green leaf showing yet.When quackgrass is bad, that rate will have to be doubled.But then no crcp other than corn can be grown in that field next year because of the risk of carryover.Splitting this amount into two applications, one befure ploughing and one after planting, increases Atrazine's Corn spread Corn.the crop that hes al grasses like foxtail and barnyard grass and crabgrass can be an increasing problem.Herbicides which give Atrazine a helping hand to beat this problem include sutan, eptam ,applied \u2018and worked into the soil ahead of seeding, and lasso pro- metryne, limuron, and ramrod applied after.These are also useful to reduce the rate of A- trazine and the risk of carryover residue.No one I have met has a good answer for horsetail or milkweed, except a well-directed hoe.Every now and then, a real heartening event comes along.Maybe one person can do a bit to change the course of events after all.Maybe each of us does have a chance to make a lasting contribution to this sad old world.For his efforts, and in recognition of his success, Harry MacDonald was honoured at a testimonial dinner a few days ago.Dr.MacDonald has been called the \u201cFather of Birdsfoot Trefoil.\"\u201d When Prof, MacDonald started his work at Cornell University, birdsfoot trefoil was not recognized as a crop in United States or Canada,

the report follow: (1) Total slaughter of all species except cattle declined in 1969 Cattle slaughter to- tulled nearly 35.6 million head ir 1969 slightly higher than 1968 slaughter and a new high.Hog slaughter was 85 million head, down 2: from a year apo, calf slaughter was 11°.under 1868 and annual slaughter of sheep and lambs: was 10\".below last year.Federally in-pected slaughter of all species

cattle, calves and hogs also increased somewhat 1n 1969, while the dressed weight of sheep and lambs averaged the same as the pre: vious year.(5) Farm slaughter of all species of animals decreased again in 1969, and slaughter of animals cn farms only represents a small portion of total slaughter.CHICAGO HOG MARKET CLOSES May 15th was the final day ol marketing hogs at the Chicago stockyards, bringing to an ern:d a marketing area wh.ch began 105 years ago.JUNE 3rd, 1970 The cattle market at Chicago will continue to operate as usual.The decision to end hog marketing was suggested a couple of months ago.Declining receipts and revenue from hogs, increased operating costs and high maintenance costs were mentioned as leading reasons bringing on the market closing.Receipts of hogs at Chicago last year were 14%: below the 1988 tctal, and to date this year.arrivals are running 26's below a year ago.The Chicago stockyards company has for several years cperated a hog market at Atkinson, Illinois, some 140 miles west of Chicago and it is believed many shippers will now ship to that market.Agrometeorological research The members of the agro- meteorology committee set up by the Quebec department of Agriculture and Cclonization have agreed to have a preliminary studv made this year with 4 view to preparing a general programme of agrometeorolo- gical research.The task has been entrusted to professors of Laval University's faculty of agriculture and will bo carried out under the auspices of the ministry's Agricultural Research Council with the help of experts at the

ground limestone for use on farms.These changes, aimed at increasing use of lime for agricultural purposes.are the result of new measures taken last year under an ex tensive soil improvement programme, to protect persons concerned wth the shipment, transport and purchase of Time.One of the main changes made this-year increases the grant to buy lime in bulk from $1.00 to $1.25 a ton.The grant to buy lime in bags remains unchanged at $2.00 a ton.Once again this year, farmers who plan to lime their land should apply to the local agricultural office for a permit as soon as possible.Truckers intending to transport the lime must apply to the agricultural department\u2019s lime section for written authorization to obtain this material.Important changes have also been made in the method of calculating the transport grant.Under the new conditions, the department will pay the trucker 20c a ton for each of the first five miles and 3c a mile for each additional mile.up to a limit of 40 miles.To obtain this grant, the trucker must present at the quarry the shipping invoice together with a permit signed by the farmer and an official representative of the department.Costs of shipment by rail or boat will be paid directly to the company concerned in accordance with prior agreements and at a special tariff for ground limestone intended only for agricultural purposes.To qualify for these grants.the lime must satisfy certain standards.namely: have a neutralizing power of at least 85%, an agricultural value index of not less than 62,5%.and a range and proportions of particle sizes governed by specified percentages of the material which will pass through three differ.ent-sized meshes.The standards are designed to ensure suitability for amending soils and improving their productive capacity, The changes made in the programme this year have made it necessary to set up a stricter system of verification.In order to facilitate claims procedures, the Farm Improvement service has summarized them in a cireular letter recently sent to quarry operators and to (ruckers who were engaged in this type of hauling last year, JUNE 3rd, 1970 READ THE GLEANER HOW 10 BEEF UP

funds for price and income support to dairy producers beyond those projected, to date.by the Federal Government.It is also to be commended for its support for a national market sharing quota system for industrial milk designed to bring a balance between supply and demand in milk production in Canada\u2019s dairy industry.supplementing existing provincial plans for tailoring supply to demand in the fluid milk busi- mess, Mr.William A, Woolfrey, newly elected President of Dairy Farmers of Canada.stated that Parliament's support for the basic goals of Dairy Farmers of Canada policy is much appreciated.He said he recogui- zed that the recommendation for replacement of the project ed $10,000,000 reduction in the dairy stabilization fund was as far as the Committee could go under its terms of reference.Dairy Farmers of Canada believes that with the continuous increase in the cost of living over the past two years this would still be insufficient and it is very glad that the House Committee has recognized the jegitimacy of the problem.Mr.Woolfrey also said thar he appreciated the Committee's support for the closest possible working relations between Dairy Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Dairy Commission in working out the difficult details of a national market sharing plan.A recent meeting of Dairy Farmers of Canada representing all the provinces except Newfoundland came last week to the conclusion that although the official dairy year starts on April 1, it would be wrong to accept a delay in implementation of a market sharing scheme for a full year.Such a scheme involves, Mr.Woolfrey said, the co-operation of provincial and Federal governments as well as producers.Full implementation of the plan, while not possible by April 1, should not be set back a year but should be proceeded with all possible speed so that, first of all, it may be implemented as early as possible in 1970.and so that secondly, the program to be announced for April 1 will be compatible with the objectives of a national market sharing plan as conceived by Canadian milk producers.Other aspects of the recommendations of the House Committee deserve special mention.The support given by it to in- iensive attention to inadequacies in the nutrition of Canadian people, and measures adopted for the correction, is particularly welcomed, Mr.Woolfrey said.Although not well documented in research, there is little doubt that severe inadequacies do exist and dairy products undoubtedly have a key Tole to play in the correction, through programs such as school milk, school lunches and other programs to supplement the diets of low income consumers, Dairy Farmers regrets.Mr.Woolfrey said, that the Com- Start spring.(Continued from page 6) cup of coffee.Accidents often happen when children are atone in the house.The prevention of accidents in the home is an everyday subject, says the Council on Family Health in Canada.Thousands of deaths and disabling injuries each yeal are caused by accidents in the home \u2014 and the terrible toll it 8 good reason for constant alertness for the whole family.mittee did not give more attention to the international potential for meeting critical food needs through use of the significant supplies of skim milk powder that Canada has be- vond its present domestic needs.Canada can and should cooperate with international agencies, Mr.Woolfrey said, to establish intermediate and longer term plans for meeting critical tood needs.especially of mothers and young children, in poor rer a] im lortrucké tractor ties!

also authorizes the addition of vitamins to milk, In effect, dairy products ir tended for human consumption will have to satisfy standards of composition set by the Department, which has itself adopted those of the federal Food aud Drug regulations.This will apply to skim milk, partly skimmed milk, modified skim milk and modified partly skimmed milk.Standards concerned include the follow.=: \u2014 Milk must con.ain at least 3.25% -of fat and 8% of nonfat solids; \u2014 partly skimmed milk, a modified milk, must contain 1, 1.5 or 2 per cent of fat and at least 8% of nonfat solids: \u2014 skim milk, a modified milk must contain not more than 0.1% of tat and not less than 8% of nonfat solids; \u2014 modified partly skimmed composition milk, an enriched moditied milk, must contain 1, 1.5 or 2 per cent of fat and not less than 11% of non-fat solids; \u2014 cream must contain at least 10% of fat; \u2014 yoghurt, a semi-liquid, semisolid or frozen dairy product must have been fermented by the addition of certain lactic bacterial cultures and contain at least 9.5% of non-fat solids and 0.8% of lactic acid, Composition standards and product descriptions not specified by the Department must \u2018meet the requirements of the Food and Drugs Act.VITAMINS The Dairy Products and Dairy Products Substitutes Act has also complied with the wishes of medical associations and particularly of the Department of Health by authorizing addition of vitamins to milk.Thus since the end of february.it is permissible to add vitamin D to milk and vitamins A and D to modified milk.The Act likewise enables the government to regulate the use of vitamins, additives and preservatives in dairy products, thereby improving their market thirteen varieties of tomatoes.The plant research programme also includes a study of germinability and quality of oats op heavy soils in the Lower St.Lawrence and bay region.À study is also being made of the influence of climatic factors and mechanized works in

priorities, the department of Agriculture and colonization has recently made changes in the regulations concerning its aid to farmers who want to drain their soil and thus raise the yield and quality of their crops.Starting April 1st., farm- aps wishing to install a sub- drainage system may obtain increased help from the depart: ment.This assistance consists of expert help in planning drainage systems and financial aid for installing them One of the main changes concerns the financial assistance for the transport and laying of drains.The department's assistance to farmers undertaking to do the work themselves or get it done will henceforth be 10 cents a foot in the drainage districts of Drum- mundville, Montreal and Quebec, and 11 cents a foot in the drainage districts of Alma, Mycamic and Rimouski, Alter- matively the department will mike a bucket ditching machine available to the farmer and then day the drains free of charge.Under the old regulations, the department paid a grant of seven cents a foot on between 700 to 5,000 feet of drain laid by a farmer, per year, or made a bucket ditcher available and laid th, drains, but at a charge of one cent a foot.PROCEDURE Professional farmers wishing to take advantage of this assistance policy should apply to their agronome who will supply them with tre application form and tell them the proper procedure to follow, The regional office will study the farmer's application, inspect the site, obtain the in- for: ation needed to prepare its own report on form D-1-187 giving the real purpose of the project, an estimate of the possible financial gains it might bring and its importance within the context of the regional agriculture, and send two copies of each of these forms with a non-returnable deposit of ten dollars

does not Sainfoin end up by ruining the farming industry\u201d The Canadian Federation of Agriculture supports the basic proposals for tax reform, as outlined by the Benson White Paper, while at the same time outlining a number of changes which must be made to ensure that the ,tax system does not end up by ruining the farm industry.The Federation, in supporting the taxing of capital gains which are in fact really income, raised serious questions about the application of capital gains tax on farms, and particularly when such taxes occur simultaneously with estate taxes and succession duties.The combination of these taxes, would in the Federation's view be sheer confiscation.To provide some realism for the levying of capital gains tax on farms, the Federation noted three principles which it viewed as absolute essentials: \u2018(D That capital gains not be realized as Jong as a farm stayed within a family succession of ownership, whether.it is passed on by inheritance or by sale.(The White Paper provides that there be no realized capital gain when a farm passes as inheritance).The Fede- vation recommends that if a father sells to his family.and even before his death, there should not be a capital gain ve- alized on such occasions.Where there is an inheritance, there are substantial estate and succession duties.and legal costs involved, and since these are part of the cost of the property they should be added to the value of thé farm on inheritance for purposes of later capital gains computation.The Federation, noted that these are significant costs, and all should be included in establishing a cost.tii> There should not be a taxing of gains which are not in fact real gains but are only inflation.The Federation advised that unless some means was found to introduce a \u2018\u2018deflation\u201d de- factor to avoid such confiscation, it would have to outrightly oppose capital gains tax.of any kind.on farm land.tiiià When there is a capital gain on a farm, the farmer ought to he able to put some part of it, tax free, into a registered retirement plan.The Federation noted that these requirements are not alternatives but that all must be HOWICK SEEDS LTD.Farm and Garden SEEDS Look to Your Seed SPECIALIST For All Your Seed Requirements Tel.825-2081 2 Lambton \u2014 Howick taken account of otherwise the proposed taxes would have a serious negative effect on farm financing and development.Acknowledging capital gains.with these required qualifications in the application of them, the Federation noted that it was essential, too that capital gains when due could be averaged back over 5 years.and moreover that because farmer earnings were {raditionally low, that the tax rate on capital gains should not be greater than the average rate of tax which the farmer paid during the time he held the property following the valuation day.On the matter of valuation of the farm at V-day, the Federation suggested that valuation should be the cost of the pra- perty.or the current value whichever was the higher, Noting that land prices, in the prairies particularly, had slumped substantially from the je- vels of a year or two ago, the Federation advised that it would be grossly unfair to charge capital gain on capital price increase from present levels up to the price paid for the land.The Federation asked for a detailed spelling-out of valuation procedures and asked that where there is a difference of view between the government and a taxpayer on property values the government should ba responsible for any costs involved in resolving the differences.The Write Paper proposals ai- lows for a $1000.00 per year addition to the capital value of a principal residence, The Federation, noting that many family operated farms are Joiatly owned farms, and therefore that the $1000.00 per year should be credited for each owner's residence.The Federation also recommended that if the farm passes from father to son, and where capital gains are not reckoned at that time, the $1000.00 per year should be credited throughout the whole period which the residence is used.The Federation recommended tou, that the farm need not be incorporated for the $1000.00 per year to be credited for additional housing units in a jointly owned farm.Another aspect of the tax system which discriminates against unincorporated farms, and which the Federation recommends be changed, is that where farmers wives are paid wages, such wages should be deductible as a legitimate business expense, without the farm needing to be incorporated.The Federation supports continuance of the \u201cBasic Herd\u201d clause.and the decision to leave optional the method of calculating depreciation.The Federation also urges that governments at all levels give serious attention to the equity of the Can use corn as a forage Can high-quality corn silage replace hay as a forage on the dairy farm?Dr.P.L.Burgess of the Canada Agriculture Research Station at Fredericton, N.B., says it can, provided the ani- meals are also given a protein supplement, impact of the whole tax system to different groups of taxpayers.The Federation believes that there is inequity as between farmers in Canada.and between farmers and others.when income taxes, succession duties, property taxes and all are considered.and that a more

increased occupational skills.Norman H, Bell, President of the Canada Safety Council, told the 12th annual Ontario Farm Safety Conference held early this month in Guelph.\u201cThe wrong attitude of getting the job done quickly without adherence to safety cules remaing much too prevalent on the farm as the grim statistics prove,\u201d he said.Speaking on the Conference theme, \u201cProtect our Farmers of Tomorrow Today,\u201d Mr.Bell, also President of the White Motor Company of Canada, said the number of accidental deaths and disabling injuries suffered by Canada\u2019s farmers has reached epidemic proper- tions.Alarming statistics \u201cThe accidental death rate on the farm is estimated to be Young Farmers forming provincial organization ;'À province-wide association of Quebec\u2019s Young Farmers\u2019 clubs in now well on the way to being formed.The main aims of the association, which will unite the ten present regional federations of the clubs, are as fol- fows: to give the Young Farmers provincial status: through tested methods.to coordinate and harmonize programmes aimed at practical an all-round individual development: to supply the movement with information: to keep in touch with similar associations.and promote the movement's progress and expansion through adequate financing.These aims were announced during a meeting of a provisional committee of the proposed association at the end of March.The committee had been set up a month earlier to study the procedures necessary to create such a body and request the funds to establish it.In the ordinary course of events, the association should have its charter within a few months.Several steps have already been successfully taken towards the province-wide grouping.and the department of Agriculture and Colonization, which has sponsored the Young Farmers for 40 years, is now endeavouring to redefine its attitude and position in view of the movement\u2019s progress.To begin with, a special committee was set up consisting of two of the agricultural department's regional coordinators \u2014 Mr.Léonel Bombardier and Mr.Gaétan Lussier \u2014 and a young people's counsellor also from the department, Mr.J.E.Au- det.In January, the committee\u2019s report on the movement's situation was submitted with the conclusion that a reorganization was necessary.In their report, the members of the committee also recognized the need for a type of self- governing association in rural areas, which, by a method of \u201clearning through working,\u201d would allow young persons between 10 and 35 years of age to acquire a necessary addition to their academic, general and vocational education to initiate them into their role as future members of a democratic society, promote development of genuine local leadership.and occupy their leisure time profitably.The committee also admitted the need for the agricultural department to synchronize its effort with that of the government's High Commission- ership for youth, leisure-time activities and sports, and of the \u201cConfédération des Loisirs du Québec.\u201c Entrusted with the coordination of the government's activities on behalf of young people.the \u201cC.L.Q.\" would in effect be in a position to provide the Young Farmers with new facilities for action in the fields of promotion, communication, leadership training, and also with a number of other services.The committee's report is now the subject of wide-scale consultation among the Young Farmers within the ten existing regional federations.These consultations are arousing great interest and proving to be very encouraging.At their conclusion, it is to be expected that the provincial association will be founded and will eventually be affiliated with the C.L.Q., if its members so wish.There are now some 7,000 Young Farmers operating in the 200 clubs of the 10 regional federations in Quebec.The part of the membership mainly involved in the provincial organization (that is,

on the highway, at last year's Farm Safety Conference.The main argument against it was \u2018how _ are our children going to learn to handle farm machinery if they aren't allowed to ride a3

implementation of a national supply management system, as recom- \u2018mended by Dairy Farmers of Canada and referred to favourably by the Minister.Related to this is the need for fluid milk producers to share equitably, on ~the milk they produce \u2018for manufacturing purposes, in \u2018meeting \u2018the cost of export of surplus production, which the $1.25 penalty -is designed to meet in

cost -of -surplus exports and a -comprehensive supply management program.\u201cThe quotas providing eligibility for Federal assistance payments should be made nego- \u2018tiable, separate from the

settled by the conciliators, - 15 by arbitration tribunals of the Board, .and two by arbitrators named by the parties.RATIFICATIONS During the same period the Board confirmed 745 agreements: 712 concerning wood, 2¢ milk.and 6 maple syrup or sugar.As provided for in the Dairy Products Act, it also aprroved seven new agreements between dairies and producers who are not bound by joint plans, These agreements, negotiated at the Board\u2019s request, provide for an increase in the price of surplus milk bought by the dairies concerned.There are now only 13 pasteurizing plants which do not

FACTORIES Following a revision of dairy factory permits,-the Board has published a new register giving the mame and site of each factory and the operations it is licensed to carry out.\u2018According to the register there were 332 dairy factories operating in Quebec in January 1969 as compared with \u2018413 in 1967.The 332 factories are classed as follows: 128 pasteurizing plants, 55 butter factories, \u201817 butter and casein factories, 2 casein factories, 32 butter and dried milk factories, \u201c52 cheese factories, 9 ice cream factories, 18 receiving stations, 3 yoghourt factories, 4 concentrated and evaporated milk factories, 2 powdered milk and casein factories, and 10 reworked butter factories.PAYMENT GUARANTEE SURETY-BONDS In connection with surety.bonds to guarantee payment of milk to producer-suppliers, the Board issued 279 insurance poe licies in 1968-1969 as against 329 in the preceding fiscal year.On March 31st 1969, only 246 of these.policies were still in force.This is a clear indicas tion of the concentration which has been going on in Quebec\u2019s dairy industry during the past \u2018two years.The policies guarantee payment for milk shipments valued at $214,216,566, i.e.$132,111,556 worth of manufacturing milk and $82,105,000 worth of Auid milk, Premiums eollected by the Board on the policies amounted to $128,700 and claims totalled $419,620, Payments, during the fiscal period, -of the amount claimed came to $63,816, the remainder being subject to special inquiry.In view of this situation, the Board will raise the annual premium rate on \u2018policies from $1.00 to $1.25 per $1,000 and the maximum amount subject to the premium to :$3,000,000, for the 1969-1970 fiscal period.2e9 2000000, + TO THA a.°° * °, FARMING COMMUN OUR SINCERE

What Is Rabies?Rabies is an infectious disease caused by a virus that af- fecis the nervous system of all warm-blooded animals, including livestock and man.\u2018How Is Rabies Spread?It is usually spread by the bite of a rabid animal.Infection can result if the saliva, blood.milk or any other body fluid of an infacted anima; enters a cut or scratch.Animals that bite, such as the skunk, fox, wolf.coyoie, cat and dog.are the most active spreaders of the discase.Wild animals are excessively bold.have no fear of man and other animals and often attack domestic animals in pastures or barns.How Long Does It Take Rabies To Develop?In a farm animal, symptoms Cr rabies may appear as early as 10 days after it has been bitten, but three to six weeks is more usual.Symptoms in degs may not show for up to six months.The lengeth of time between infection and the onset of symptoms depends on the severity of the bite or wounds and their distance from the brain.How Does À Rebkid Animal Act?Cattle: Infected cattle may have a wild.staring expression due to excitement.This is followed by violent actions, which are sometimes brought on by approaching objects.Cattle may suddenly let out a loud.hoarse, unndtural bellow, as though terrified; pull strenu- cusly backward and forward if tied up: rush about wildly and leap, into the air if loose: stamp their feet and switch {heir tails; shake their heads violently; bite viciously at any object or animal within reach.sometimes biting the manger and injuring their mouths.Between these violent outbursts there may be periods of calm in which they stand quietly with head slightly raised.-Twitching of the muscles of the ears, skin and tail.accompanied by frequent blinking of the eyelids.may be noticed.At times cattle may be rest Yess and kick at their abdomen.Sexual desire may be increased and they will \u201cride\u201d other tattle.A strong and often persistent desire to lick objects is present.There is an abundant flow of saliva.The animals do not eat and as a result \u2018become very weak and thin.Following this stage, paralysis sets in, affecting the hindquarters first.Soon the cattle are unable to rise, They may be- tome unconscious and die rapidly, or struggle for a few days before dying, In some cases of rabies, the excitement stage is absent or very short and goes unnoticed end only the paralytic stage js seen.Cattle usually stay away from the rest of the herd.are dull, vawn a good deal, shift their feet and knuckle at the fetlocks; and their face and neck muscles twitch.They may strain considerably and arch their back, urinate frequently.smack their lips and grind their teeth.Milk produc.ijon drops suddenly.salivation js excessive and rumination ceases, causing bloating.As the animals are unable to swallow or close their mouths, they sometimes appear to be choking.They rapidly become thin.get weak in the hindquarters.slagger and go down.Death msually occurs 4 to 6 days af- ler svmptoms appear.Horses: Symptoms of rabies in horses are similar to those described for cattle.In the ini ial stage of excitement horses stand with their ears erect, quite alert, and their eyes have a glassy stare.Their muscles often twitch and their tyes move quickly back and forth.Horses with rabies may quite brilliant, grunting and get up and lie down frequently.rol] and shake their head.The site of the bite may be intensely irritated and they wiil lick and frequetly chew it viciously.Violent Spasms.which mar be brought on by a noi-C are common.Horse Kick.rush and bite savagelv at the manger.burving their tceth in the woad and sometimes breaking them, Later they may smash their stall 10 pieces and escape from the barn.Saliva flows copiously and the horses are extremely thirsty, grind their teeth fre quently.suddenly snort loudiy.and have difficulty in swallowing, with the result that food returns through their nostrils.They begin to move stiffly and jerkily: become quite vicious.rushing at other animals and biting: become quite thin; and have frequent convulsions, during one of which they may dic.In other cases.horses are dull and depressed.Muscles twitch.including those of the eves.which have a reddened, unnatural appearance.Breathing is labored and jerky.accompanied by snuffling sounds.The animals may press their heads against the manger or wall and grind their teeth.As the discase progresses.they knuckle over on their fetlocks, stagger and eventually go down.Horses become quite thin and the flow of saliva increases.They may bury their teeth in the ground or other objects and hang on, Convulsions set in, and gradually become more severe.Finally, paralysis and death ccur 4 to 6 days after the onset of symptoms.Sheep: The symptoms scen in sheep are similar to those in cattle, They hold their heads erect: their eves are bright and rolling: they grind their teeth; give frequent loud hoarse bleats; have a desire to lick: are quarrelsome, running and butting others viciously, and occasionally biting: have increased sexual desire: have increased salivation; stop eating.becoming thin and weak: even: tually stagger and fall: go into convulsions and die 2 to 3 days after symptoms appear.In som, cases.the period of excitement is absent and sheep are found lving down, unable to get up.breathing heavily.with muscles and eves twitching.and salivating profusely.They become quite thin, go into convulsions and soon die.Pigs: Swine affected with rabics frequently hide in bedding or other places and may.without any apparent reason.rush out in terror their eves squealing loudly.They stop eating but will chew on wood and other objects.They may have increased salivation; \u201cchamp\u201d their jaws: be extremely restiess: and attack and bite savagely.Swine rapid- y heeome paralyzed.with threat and hindquarters affee- ted first.They ge into convul sions and die quickly.1 to 6 days after symptoms appear.How Rabies 1s Diagnosed Although the sympitome or rabies sre fairly characteristic and a veterinarian may make a clinical or tentative diagnosis, a final diagnosis can be made onlv by lzhoratory examination of an animal's brain.It is therefore important that.when an animal has te be killed, it is not shot in the head.Treatment There is no treatment for rabies.The disease in farm animals is fatal.When Rabies fs Suspected Notify the Health of Animals Branch of the Canada Department of Agriculture as quickly ag¢ possible; or notify vour local veterinarian, police.or agricultural representative.Under federaj law, rabies is a reportable disease.When a person is bitten, call a dector immediately.M a doctor is not available.thoroughly scrub all wounds to their full depth, for 15 to 2C minutes, using a strong soap and changing the wash water frequentiy.Then apply an antiseptic, When an animal is bitten, confine it away from people and other animals.Make every effort to capture or confine any suspect rabid animal in order to determine definitely whether or not it is rabid.Do not kill it unless it presents a further danger to human health or unless killing is necessary to prevent its escape.tf an animal must be killed, as would bp the case with wild animals.do not shoot it in the head, as the brain must be preserved undamaged for laboratory examination.Take precau- ons te prevent people ana other animals from coming in contact with the carcass.saliva.blood and other body fluids.To preserve the head, keep it as cool as possible and in winter let it freeze.Wear heavy gloves if you must handle a suspect animal.or an animal that may have just been bitten by a suspect animal.or objects which may have saliva from a suspect animal on them, Do not put your hands or fingers in any animals mouth if it appears to be choking, as vou could expose yourself to rabies if vou have cuts or scratches on your hands.Do not touch, with your bare hands, wild animals that «p- pear to he excessively tame or sick.Squirrels.chipmunks.gophers and bats often bite children when they try to feed them or pick them up.How To Prevent Rabies In areas where rabies exists, do not let veur dogs and cats run loose.All stray animals should be reported to a doz control or police officer.Have vour dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies every year.This wil} protect most of \u2018hem .although a small percentage may not receive full protection from vaccination.Consult your ve- lerinarian about the vaccina- tien of other pets and live stock, As the reservoir of infection is wildiife.especially foxes and skuauks,

recording of pure-bred Ayrshire Cattle commenced in Canada, Volume 1 of the Canadian Ayrshire Herd Record states: \u201cIt was considered expedient in 1870 to open to subscribers a WRITTEN RECORD OF PUREBRED AYRSHIRE CATTLE AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, under the supervision of a Committee of Ayrshire importers and breeders, named by the Council of Agriculture, Province of Quebec, with the later Mr.N.S.Whitney as Chairman and Mr.Georges Leclerc, M.D., as Secretary.The Herd Record Committee considered it advisable to form a permanent organization to be called THE AYRSHIRE IMPORTERS\u2019 AND BREEDERS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA.\u201d The Association formed a Committee with the authority ic compile and.publish a herd book.This committee experienced much difficulty in obtaining and verifying records Only animals that could be traced directly to importation were recorded, \u2018Volume 1 of the Herd Book was not published until 1886.The officers at that time were President, William Rodden,

interested in breeding Ayrshire Cattle.It contained 785 males and 1425 females.The recording of stock of this herd book commenced in 1872 with Henry Wade, Toronto, responsible for this work.It contained animals born as early as \u2018March 14, 1845.The owners were mainly from Ontario and they included Michael BaHantyne, Sebringville, Ont.; Alex Campbell, Metcalfe, Ont., and Li rence

of Statistics.There were 1.686,000 cattle and calves in December 1968 and 1,748,000 in December 1969.During the same period the number of dairy cows increased by one per cent to 1,020,000 and the number of calves by 4.2%.from 288,000 to 300,000.Also during the same period, the number of sheep and lambs rose by 33%.from 61,000 head in 1968 to 63,000 in 1969.Meanwhile, the farm horse population continued to deciine \u2014 from 51,000 in 1968 to 49,000 in 1969.The number oï fowls and chickens on Quebec farms increased from 18,830,000 in December 1968 to 20,190,000 on December 1st 1969.These 20,190,000 birds consisted of the following kinds: hens and chickens five months and oder, 4,710,000: chickens less than five months, 1.480,000; cocks and cockerels, 1,300,000 broiler cickens,

Book.Down through the years, the Ayrshire \u2018Association has played a prominent role in mitk recording, The early volumes of the herd book refer to the necessity of a full year test rather than a few days at a fair or exhibition.The Canadian Ayrshire Association played a leading role in having the milk recording agency, R.O.P., established in 1905 by the Canada Department of Agriculture.This was a result of proposals made by the Ayrshire Association in 1904.In 1953, the Ayrshire breed adopted the Breed Class Average system which is an index comparing all records to the National Average.This was soon adopted by the other breeds in Canada.The production average of all Ayrshire cows in Canada has been increasing steadily each year.Last vear, it took a dramatic increase of five

devoted themselves to general {farming and the raising of pure-bred Jersey milk cows.About the year 1915 these brothers became interested in the mecanization of farm machinery and in the course of their experiments, they conceived the exclusive self-feed- er adaptable to all kinds of stationary threshers, most of which at that time were equipped with a cylinder tooth type feeder where the feed was fed manually.After a few years of experimenting and efforts to manufacture this new product, they soon realized that they would never succeed to produce with enough profit unless this new self-feeder could be adapted to the type of western thresher designed to feed under the sylinder, In the year 1918.in order to satisfy the always increasing requirements of their own farm, they decided that they would manufacture their own wooden thresher.After much hard work and many important modifications, this prototype thresher combined with their revolutionary self-feed- er was found to be very satisfactory by the two Dion brothers.With very little tools and equipment and using their own farm buildings which were a long way from giving the same services as an industrial building, production was finally started in a very slow and painful way.Most of the essential parts required were fabricated manually by themselves or with the assistance of the local blacksmith shop in the City of Ste.Thérése.From the year 1918 to the year 1920, their first thresher was used and tested on their own farm.During these trials, they soon came to the realization that their invention was not a copy of any exising thresher and this prompted them to apply for and obtain many Canadian and United States patents.especially in reference to the self-feeding system, the straw-deck and rotating agitators, th chaffer sieve which required no adjustments.All of the new patented ideas made it possible to offer a superior product able to operate under the most severe and wet conditions where com- retitors conceeded the super- \u2018or efficiency and the cleanliness of the grain with practically no loss, Finally in the vear 1920.the company of Dion & Frère was cormed and the first manufacturing plant was erected on the brothers\u2019 farm which was used at the same lime for farming and the manufacture of threshers.Even though production was very small.they found that their products were extremely well received hy the farmers, so much so that 19 reach the demand they were sbliged to enlarge their plant facilities each year.Even with limited finances and the difficul{ 1929 financial crisis, the Dion brothers he- «an the daring project of converting their wooden thresher io a steel thresher.This pro- jret was the turning point for the Dion enterprise and contributed greatly to open a new Canadian and American market.Thousands of these new Dion steel threshers were manufactured up until 1954 and during this period of intensive production, the Dion brothers developed a new product called the unique stationary ensilage cutter for which many Canadian and United States patents were obtained.This new product did not lose any time in becoming well-known for its unsurpas- sable capacity, its fine cut and most particularly its low power requirement.Because of the continuous increases in sales, the Dion brothers found it necessary to incoporate their Company under the name of Dion Frères Inc, by letter patent issued the 24th of April 1944 in virtue of the first vart of the Province of Quebec Company Law.The experience acquired by the founders and the accumulated good results attracted the attention of neighboring financiers who did not hesitate to bring in their own financial support, contributing in à big way to maintain a constant progress to the enter- brise.During the years 1946 and 1947 Dion Freres Ine.continued to develop and progress and a new modern foundry was then erected which was enlarged in the year 1951, in 1954 and again in 1965.The rapid expansion of the Company made it necessary to examine carefully the needs of specialized and qualified tradesmen, men who were skilled in their work in order to add quality to the already famous machines.At the time of the death of the Dion brothers, the Company was already well-organiz ed and the sons who replaced ihem ensured the continuity of the Dion enterprise.The new administrators, inspired by the ingeniousness and progressiveness of their predeces- «ors, worked hard to direct the production of their manufacture to fill the urgent needs to mecanize farms which were becoming larger and larger.Consulted and guided by many agricultural institutions and cxperimental farms, they created in 1953 a research centre well-staffed by specialized engineers and drafts men in agricultural mechanics.Results from this research centre came quickly and Dion Frères Inc.offered in 1954 a complete new line of machines to harvest corn and green silage.These new machines were called the Forage Harvester with the necessary attach- rients, the Forage Biower and semi-automatic Wagon Box.The numerous lines offered to farmers did not stop the Company from diversifying and in 1959, Dion Freres Inc.came out with a complete line of automatic feeding systems.These lines are exclusively distributed under license and make it possible to enlarge the field of action of the enterprise in the domain of automation and to offer a complete line of automatic farm machinery to harvest, store and feed all kinds of silage.1961 was a year marked hy the introduction of a new product called the self-unloading Farage Box.This new self-un- loading Forage Box.as all other previous Dion products.is protected by Canadian and United States patents.In answer to an urgent need, Dion Freres Inc.offers since 1963, a prefabricated concrete stave silo.This silo has a normal maintenance of very low cost and guarantees the modern farmer a larger capacity storage of feed and thus increase his production of cultivated acreage with a minimum investment.Always anxious and eager to improve the revenue of today\u2019s farms, the Dion engineers of- {fered in the year 1966 a new and exclusive Forage Blower identified under the name of Dion Elephant 59 Forage Blower because of its larger fan drum and exclusive feed table and working with the Dion self-unloading Forage Box, combing to make a pair which constantly enjoy a more popular place year after year throughout all Canada and the United States.- The year 1970 will see the Dion Enterprise moving towards a more radical expansion because of the presentation of the new Dion exclusive type Forage-Harvester with cy- tinder cutting head which ensures the finest custs, more tonnage stored in a specific space, better and easier feed conservation and a richer NTD.The administrators of Dion Freres Inc.are pleased to offer to their numerous Canadian and American customers this \u201c50\u201d Year Story of five Dion company and ar.confident this anniversary is only a beginning towards greater progress in contribution to the better ease and welfare of the rural centres.The record of the growth and progress of Dion Freres Inc.over half a century represents a wonderful Canadian achievement, reflecting credit on the working of the private enterprise system and works with the great drama of agricultural mecani- zation, The Dion Freres Inc.ecom- pany is surely embarking on the second half of its century with the same purpose and ambition that prompted the Dion brothers Amédée and Bruno to become founders of a new Canadian Industry.ali iciain Wms iin The little factory that was erected decades ago on the farm of Amédée an« Bruno Dion in Ste.Thérèse de Blainville has grown into a huge maunfacturing

permanent et de laisser les vents d'automne le sécher, C\u2019est le moyen le plus économique si la moisson est petite.Le contenu d'humidité maximum de l'épi de maïs, lorsque placé dans le séchoir, devrait être de 25-30%.BIN BATCH DRYING (SECHAGE EN COFFRE) : Une quantité de grain, d\u2019habitude la moisson de la journée, est étendue à une épaisseur peu profonde sur un faux plancher d\u2019un coffre circulaire.Le coffre est muni d\u2019un système mécanique pour l\u2019emplissage et le vidage.La vitesse de séchage doit assez bien égaler la vitesse de moisson et la quantité de grain sèche doit être enlevée après chaque cycle de séchage.S'il y a un coffre à part qui est muni d\u2019un système d'aération, le grain encore chaud peut y être refroidi à une température d'extérieur, ainsi réduisant la durée du cycle complet.Autrement le grain doit être séché et refroidi dans le méme (bin).Le temps requis pour le séchage dépend de la superficie du plancher du coffre qui est employé.C\u2019est flexible.Le système peut être employé pour l'aération du grain qui est emmagasiné et le séchage ne dépend pas de la température.Généralement le maïs est à une profondeur de pas plus de 30\u201d, sans quoi les grains du fond développeront des fissures causées par une chaleur inégale.SECHOIR PORTATIF : Le séchoir portatif est de classe séchage-accéléré faisant usage de chaleur et ne dépendant pas de la température.Le fait d\u2019être portatif le rend très en demande chez la main-d\u2019oeuvre faisant l\u2019ouvrage sur commande.Parce qu\u2019une partie du grain est exposée à une chaleur plus intense, la plupart des séchoirs sont munis pour recireuler le grain pendant que le séchage et le refroidissement ont lieu.Le grain circulé de nouveau est mêlé afin que la température et le contenu d'humidité finale soient uniforme dans le coffre.Le mouvement continuel peut endommager le grain, surtout s'il est trop sec.Un séchoir de ce genre, d'une capacité de 300 boisseaux, peut réduire l'humidité du grain de 25% à 147 en deux heures.Considérant le - temps requis pour emplir et vider le séchoir, la capacité journalière de ce dernier est de 1,200 boisseaux, le coût d'installation et d\u2019opération de ce genre de séchoir est plus élevé que le coût d\u2019achat du \u201cBin Batch Dryer\u201d.Cependant sa capacité journalière est plus élevée.SECHOIR A MOUVEMENT CONTINU : Le séchage à mouvement continu veut dire que le grain provenant d'un coffre rempli de grains trempés (humides) passe par le séchoir sans interruption.Dans le séchoir il y a une section pour chauffer le grain et une pour le refroidir.La vitesse du mouvement dans le séchoir est contrôlée en ajustant la vitesse de la sonde (Auger) ou de tout autre courroie de transport déplaçant le grain hors du séchoir.La quantité de grain séché doit être emmagasinée temporairement jusqu\u2019à ce qu'elle soit transportée à un endroit d\u2019emmagasinage final.Le séchage à mouvement continu est très flexible en ce qui concerne opération et contrôle.Devant le séchoir il est préférable d'avoir un coffre à grain- humide d\u2019une capacité qui est de 14 fois plus grand que la capacité du séchoir lui-même.- Dryers Une installation facile, rapide et économique SIMPLE, FAST, | LOW (COST SET-UP A MAIS GRAIN CORN DRYING SYSTEMS : One method of drying corn is to husk it and place it in a crib and let the fall winds do the drying.This is the most economical if the corn acreage is small.\u2018Maximum moisture content of cob corn when placed in the crib should be 25-30% moisture.BIN BATCH DRYING: In this type of dryer, a batch of grain, usually the amount that -is harvested in one day is spread evenly in a shallow layer over a fake floor in a circular grain bin.The bin is equipped completely for mechanical filling and emptying.The rate of drying must be matched to the rate of harvesting reasonably well and the dried batch of grain must be removed after each drying cycle.If a separate storage bin is fitted with aeration equipment the hot grain can be cooled there to outdoor temperatures thus decreasing the cycle time.Otherwise the grain must be dried and also cooled in the same bin.The time for drying depends primarily upon the floor area of the bin that is used.It is flexible.The system can be used for aeration of grain in storage and drying is independent of weather.Usually the corn will not want to be a depth greater than 30\u201d or the lower kernels may develop stress cracks due to uneven heating.PORTABLE BATCH DRYING : The portable batch dryer falls in the fast-drying class that uses a large amount of heat and is independent of weather conditions.Portability of these amounts make them attractive to custom operators.Because in a batch dryer some of the grain is exposed to higher temperatures than the rest, most batch dryers are equipped for recirculating the grain as the drying and cooling proceed.The recirculating grain is mixed so that the final temperature and moisture content are uniform throughout the batch.Repeated movement of the grain may cause some kernel damage, particularly if the grain is over dried.A 300 bushel] dryer of this type could dry corn from 25% moisture to 14% moisture in about two hours.If you consider loading and unloading time also the daily capacity of this size dryer would he about 1,200 bushels.The installation and operating costs of this type of dryer are higher than the costs of the bin hatch dryer.However the daily capacity of this dryer is also greater.CONTINUOUS FLOW DRYING: i Continuous flow drying moves grain continuously from .grai holding bin through the dryer.Included in the dryer is a heated sec tion for drying grain an unheated section for cooling.Flow rate through the dryer can be controlled by adjusting speed of auger or other conveyor which removes grain from the dryer.The dried batch must be piled or held somehow until it can be conveyed to final storage.Continuous flow drying is very flexile in operation and control.It is preferable to provide a wet corn holding bin capacity 1% times d i \u2014 ahead of the unit.v 1% Ter capacity DIVISION TEL.264-5441 MARCHAND
