in 1972, Quebec's production was equivalent to 37% of the National production\u2019.That is what Mr.Réal Piquette, of the Agricultural Products Marketing Service, from the Quebec Department of Agriculture, was telling us.He also added that: \u201c\u2018\u2018Amongst agricultural productions made in Quebec, the dairy production has always been the most important.Last year, that production brought an annual income of about $300 millions to our growers which was the equivalent of 40% of their total income\u2019.That same year, the 34,000 growers engaged in that speculation produced nearly 7 milliard pounds milk.An interesting phenomenon has been observed over the last 5 or 6 years: the number of farms producing milk is decreasing substantially, while at the same time there is no decrease in the total production of the Province.That is due to an increase in the total production of the Province.That is due to an increase of cows per herd and also to an increase of the average yield of milk per \u201cPhere are about 75 dairies in the Province of Quebec which are buying the milk produced by 5,000 specialized fluid milk producers that are grouped in the Quebec Milk Producers Federation.The main dairy products offered to consumers through these dairies are: homogenized milk (3.25% of fat), partially skim milk with a 2% fat content,.skim milk (without any fat), creams which contain 35, 15 or 10% of fat, chocolate milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurts and puddings.As everybody knows, those last two products have been enjoying for the past few years an increasing popularity.Besides those dairies, we also have in our Province about a hundred milk processing organizations who are private or cooperative enterprises; they are processing the milk sent to them by 29,000 producers of industrial milk.The main products manufactured by these plants are: 1-Butter: with a total production of 138 million Pounds in 1972, our output represents 47% of the National production product.2-Cheese: Quebec production of cheddar cheese has increased noticeably over the last few years; last year, our total volume for that item was of the order of 92 million pounds or 48% of the National production.Quebec also produces 22 million pounds of Speciality cheeses (Mozarella, Oka, Camembert, Parmesan, Gouda.etc.).3-Concentrated milk products: in 1972, the National production of concentrated whole milk was of the order of 279 million pounds and Quebec was producing one third of that volume.As far as the production of concentrated skim milk is concerned, the volume in Quebec was 265 million pounds compared to a total production in Canada of 453 million pounds.It should be noted that 70% of the concentrates of skim milk is under the form of powder.Mr.Piquette also mentioned that the utilization of Quebec's total milk production was distributed as follows: Butter-48%, Milk for fresh consumption-20%, Cheeses-19%, Other products-8%, Used on the farm-5%.The comsumption of fluid milk in Quebec is low, especially when we compare it to that of Ontario: In 1972, 72 quarts of Milk were consumed per capita in Quebec against 91 Quarts in our neighbour Province.We know that the average consumption in Canada is of 81 quarts per capita.In conclusion, the specialist of the Provincial Department of Agriculture said: \u2018\u2018from these figures, it is easy to say that there is room for improvement concerning that point in our Province\u2019.COOPERATIVE AGRICOLE DE GRANBY CREMERIE REVELATION INC.HUNTINGDON M j RWn | Bats friends of man in battling insects \u2018In the face of growing public awareness of the environment, knowledgeable farmers and other citizens have been turning away from chemical control of insects wherever possible and seeking to encourage natural controls,\u201d comments Herb Doig, Director of Fish and Wildlife for the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.\u2018One of our best natural allies in man's age-old struggle against insect numbers is the humble bat.\u2018Bats have been a subject of fascination and mystery for centuries.Their nocturnal habits and unique appearance may have caused this uneasiness, but a fear of bats is unfounded,\" he explained.With the advent of spring, people are more apt to notice bats, only recenly emerged from hibernation.Bats are among the most ubiquitous, or widely distributed, mammals in this region and there are representatives of most of the 10 native species.Bats are also of interest in their role of carriers of zoonotic diseases.A zoonotic disease is one which is transmissable from animals to man, the most frightening of which is rabies.Wildlife researchers from the New York State Department rabies control program are studying bats to fully understand the role bats play in the transmission of this disease.When a rabid bat goes into hibernation he may not die during this period but become a great threat to his cave mates.Bat rabies virus is such that it has been transmitted through the air with no bite or other contact.Two men have contacted rabies through aerosol infection while in a Texas cave containing a large bat population.This occurred under unique conditions, however, not likely to be encountered here.Transmission of rabies most commonly occurs through biting.Because bats usually avoid man, human contact is usually limited to sick bats.Bats seen during the day clinging to the sides of buildings or struggling on the ground may be sick and should be avoided.Should a person be bitten by a bat, the wound should be thoroughly washed with soap and water and medical attention sought immediately.The animal should be captured and submitted to the nearest office of the Department of Health where they can have the animal tested or rabies.A jar or a shoe box with a top are good containers in which to capture and submit bats.Capture of a sick bat is simple if the container top can be used to knock the bat off its roost and into the container TEL: 264-5450 FOR ALL YOUR Try our cattle Cattle Feed in your feeding program !

Mr.Philippe Pariseault, managing director of the Granby Co-op, summed up the enterprise's position when he was addressing members who met recently for the annual general meeting.\u201cWhat is important,\u201d said the managing director\u201d is that the Co-op continue to contribute to the economic expansion of Quebec and to a better life for its farmer members.\u201d Membership in creased by 560 last year, following mergers and acquistions of other firms.Assets of the shareholders of the co-operative (35 years in existence) have gone from $12,8 27,150 in 1971 to $15,424,180 last year.Operating on this firm basis the cooperative stands to continue expanison.Surplus The operations surplus for the last year was up to $1.200.446 not counting additional remittances made to the members.The dividends paid were of the order of $1 million.It is estimated that, since 1956, members have received, in dividends and additional remittances a sum of more than $37,000,000.Total 1972 sales at $124,000,000 {of which $9,000,000 for the \u2018\u2019Laiteries Leclerc\u2019 for 10 months\u2019 operation) give an idea of the considerable progress made by the co-operative.Indeed business indicated an increase of 51.2% over the preceding year.For 1973, Mr.Pariseault expects that sales will reach the $155,000,000 mark and that the JOHN DEERE JOHN DEERE DEALER FARM MACHINERY RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT PARTS & SERVICE LES EQUIPMENTS M.DUMOUCHEL ST-STANISLAS-DE-KOSTKA TEL: 373-0411 assets will amount to $50,000,000.Reception and transformation of milk at the co-op reached a record 1.768,000.000 pounds, an increase of 41.1% over 1971 in spite of bad weather which affected milk production in many regions.Cheese Factory The year 1972 saw the opening of a cheese factory by the co-op at Bon-Conseil.Installed at a cost of $3,600,000.this cheese factory will be in full operation by next April and will tran sform 1,600,000 lbs.of milk per day Statutory grants from the governments for installation of this cheese factory were of the order of $1 million.We must note that, since January 1973, the former cheese factory at Bon-Conseil has been shut down.Yogourt Mr.Pariseault reported that the production of yogurt under the brand name of \u2018\u2019Yoplait\u2019\u2019 is developing normally and that this product is gaining in popularity with the public.The second production phase consists in installing equipment to package in 4-0z.containers.Furthermore, the co-op will soon add the production of \u2018\u2019yvopi\u2019\u2019 desserts which will enable it to conquer the institutional market and the Oncario and Maritimes market.A Subsidiary \u2018\u201cCrèmerie Révélation\u2019, located at 58 York Street.Huntingdon, became a subsidiary of the Granby Co-op in December 1969.Since that time, more than 300 farmers from the area have become members of the cooperative.These milk producers have provided to the Co-op approximately 70,000,000 lbs.of milk annually for industrial transformation.The Huntingdon plant specializes in the production of butter and skimmed condensed milk.The latter is then shipped to other Co-op plants to be made into powdered milk The Board of Directors of the Co-operative is made up of 15 milk producers (rom different regions of the Province of Quebec.Our area is represented by Andre Wart of St.Anicet.Homage Paid The managing director of the Co-op, Mr Philippe Pariseault.paid homage to Mr.Roland Sabourin for his great service to the firm for over a quarter of acentury Mr.Sabourin retired recently.According to Mr Pariseault, Mr.Sabourin is probably the one who has done the most to build the firm under its cooperative structure and given it the spirit of co-operation.Best Cheese It is no samll honor to receive the world championship for natural cheese as the Granby Co-Up did while competing at the international level with 15 other countries.The managing director.Mr Pariseault, gave homage to the producers for this honor.He noted that the Co-op had won many other trophies for the British Empire as well as for Canada and Quebec.The president of the Granby Co-Op has declared that he doesn\u2019t glorify over the millions the firm has netted \u2018it is known that the Co-op did for $124 million business in 1972).\u201cIt is not the millions that matter\u201d.said Mr.Martin \u2018\u2018but Farm

Page 4- Farm Supplement Collective animal medicine now trend BY JEAN-PIERRE ASSELIN VETERINARIAN QUEBEC DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE You will probably agree that it would be most helpful and profitable if 1 could give you some magic panacea for preventing disease among cattle, somewhat after the fashion of a set of maintenance instructions for a car or a snowmobile.But the problem of animal disease is more complicated than that and, if we are to keep our cattle ir good health, we must take into account several factors such as the age, feeding and environment of the animal and the type of production it is kept for.Because of the rapid development of cattle raising in Quebec as elsewhere, during recent years, the farmer has come to realize that animal disease often costs dearly.If he dispassionately calculates the losses caused by disease, it will become obvious to him that what is really costly is not the treatment but the loss of production during sickness and convalescence and sometimes the loss of the animal.That is why the standpoint of veterinary medicine is also changing and developing.Without thereby abandoning therapeutic or curative veterinary medicine, we are tending increasingly towards a collective or herd veterinary medicine.There is a growing interest in those factors we recently talked about in order to determine their effect on the health of cattle and so be about in order to determine their effect on the health of cattle and so be able to prevent disease from breaking out in a herd.WHY PREVENTIVE?Preventive veterinary medicine has two aims: 1.to eliminate disease from a herd or reduce it to a minimum; and 2.to prevent disease from ever appearing in a herd.When we speak of disease thus, it must always be borne in mind that we mean not only diseases of an infectious nature like those caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc., but also non-infectious disorders which always involve disturbance of the animal organism's normal functions, such as the troubles associated with calving, milk fever, acetonomia, infertility of non-infectious origin, indigestion in all its forms, diseases that are so often of alimentary or nutritional origin.In this connection it is of interest to mention, \u2018\u2018en passant\u2019, that according to the reports of the veterinary practitioners in the contributory animal health insurance plan, 49% of calls on their services by Quebec farmers were due to diseases of an infectious nature and 51% were for help in treating non-infectious disorders (in which germs were not involved).Hence, in talking about a program of preventive veterinary medicine we have to think about or include all factors, besides micro-organisms which can affect the health of animals.= += me > In launching a preventive veterinary medical program, we must take into consideration and understand, as far as our present knowledge permits, the entire set of factors that contribute to the well-being of the animal and likewise the entire set of factors that can disturb its functioning and behaviour, limit its production, and often reduce its resistance to disease.Among these factors that must be taken into account are the following: 1.Pathogenic microorganisms: These cannot be completely eliminated but, as we have to live with them, we have to make sure that the chances are on our side by making the animal's environment as heaithy as possible.This implies attention to such factors as water, air.soil and buildings which call for constant cleanliness including disinfection: 2 - The animal's comfort: Cattle raising is characterized nowadays by the concentration of livestock in more or less limited areas, under increasingly artificial conditions.It is therefore essential that the buildings be adequate, that the feed contain the constituents that are essential or helpful to the animal's health and productivity.JOHN DEERE LTD.TRACTORS in all sizes ALSO FARM EQUIPMENT JOHN DEERE

disease as well as their animal husbandry qualities.Furthermore, we must beware of possible undesirable consequences of consanguinity resulting from artificial insemination 1 bulls are not wisely

budget speech delivered before the National Assembly, March 29,1973.These measures have a twofold objective: to alleviate the taxpayers\u2019 burden, especially for those with low income, and to stimulate the economy.For the benefit of our readers, here are a few excerpts from M.Garneau's speech: Retroactive to January 1, 1973, the exemption of $2,000 for single persons and $4,000 for married persons has been increased to $2,500 and $5,000 respectively.This measure will exempt an additional 125,000 persons from income tax.By so increasing the available personal income of the individuals concerned and thus widening the gap between that income and social benefits, this measure will be an incentive for more people to seek employment.The higher exemption will benefit low income persons in two other ways: -Persons who will benefit from this measure will no longer have to contribute to the health insurance plan.farmers Secondly, the Québec government will reimburse to the Québec Pension Plan half of the contributions of self- employed workers, particularly tradesmen and farmers, who earn less than these limits of $2,500 and $5,000.As of January 1, 1973, capital gains deemed to be realized by a farmer who, at death, leaves his farm to his children so that they may in turn work it themselves, will be exempt from income tax.Retroactive to January 1, 1973, the gift tax act will be amended in order to increase from $25,000 to $75,000 the special exemption allowed, once in his lifetime, to a farmer who donates his land to one or more of his children for farming purposes.FEATURES SWINGING ARM: Farm numbers decline Although agricultural production has continued to climb.both the number of farms and the farm labour force have declined over the past decade,

829-2888 ROUTE 14 ORMSTOWN Page 8 - Farm Supplement The value of a young sire proving program The following was taken from the Eastern Breeders Incorporated Newsletter.For years, breeders, A.I.Unit personnel and agricultural personnel have been preaching the wonders of using proven sires and especially plus proven sires.Then why all of a sudden do we put so much emphasis on a young sire proving program.It appears at first to be conflicting ideas.But both are working to meet the needs of the breeders-proven sires.Every bull, no matter how great, has a definite life span, or every bull has to die sometime.Thanks to the wonders of frozen semen, they can extend their effect for a prolonged period of time.But that, again is a definite period.What does a breeder, who has used a highly proven bull for years, do when this bull dies or no more semen is available\u201d This is the whole point of a young: sire proving program.When properly used, it provides breeders with a continual source of proven bulls.Only the breeders can make a success or failure of a young sire proving program.If breeders are willing to breed a portion of their herd to young sires, they will assure themselves of a group of proven bulls in years to come.If breeders are not willing to use young sires, they will have to suffer when the proven bulls are gone.The main idea behind any young sire program is-to provide a continual source of proven sires in the vears ahead.How should a breeder treat a young sire proving program: To illustrate the mechanics of an ideal young sire proving program combined with the best use of proven sires, let us take the following example.A breeder has a herd of 20 cows and 12 heifers, all to be bred in WE CARRY FEEDS OF ALL KINDS CUSTOM GRINDING AND MIXING C.LL.FERTILIZERS Registered Certified SEED GRAIN, GRASS SEED ATRAZINE 80W ° PURINA and CANADA PACKERS SHUR-GAIN GALVANIZED and ALUMINUM ROOFING the next year.The herd average is 120 BCA for milk and the dams of the heifers have BCA's that average 125.75 percent of the cows are bred to proven sires.25 percent or 5 cows are bred to young sires.Likewise for the heifers, 75 percent are bred to proven sires and 25 per cent or 4 are bred to young sires.Therefore this breeder breeds seventy-five per cent to proven sires.This percentage will take most of the gamble out of breeding if he has thought about the bulls and cows.25 percent of the herd are bred to young sires, not a large percentage but enough to give a breeder an idea of their offspring.But most important it will ensure a constant supply of proven sires in years to come, when combined with similar efforts of other breeders.But perhaps the biggest problem associated with a young sire proving program is the type of cows that young sires are bred to.With discounts given to breeders using test bulls, too many breeders use these sires on cows that are below herd average, cows thal are going to be sold for dairy purposes, export or beef, or in some cases simply to get the cow in calf.In general, too many breeders use test sires on cows that are on the lower end of the scale for both production and type.Do you realize that to make average cows out of below average dams, the bull would be a breed improver.Yet when compared to herd and breed averages, these bulls would fail below average due to the below average dams.V'ell how does a breeder give a young test sire a half-decent chance to prove himself.Let us refer back to our example.The herd average for the cows was 120.Five cows were being bred CORN SEED, WE DELIVER TEL.264-5970 ANTHONY VAN WINDEN STE.AGNES DE DUNDEE to young sires.To give the young bull a chance or more properly to assess his true value, he should be bred to five cows that average 120, or bred to a cow above herd average, a cow below herd average and three cows that are at herd average.The same will hold true with the four heifers in comparison to their dams production.In this example, 1 have dealt only with production.the same philosophy will hold true for type.By using a program similar to this, a breeder will be breeding most of his herd to proven sires, but on the percentage being bred to young sires, he is doing so on a cross-section of his herd for type and production.Is this too large a price to pay for tomorrow's proven sires?Invest in the future breed a percentage of your herd to test sires.By Sire Analyst Eric Campbell Canada is the world's fourth largest exporter of agricultural products.The farm machinery and feed processing industries particularly are directly influenced by

the eut grain in preparation for threshing.Pine sawfly danger cited The European pine sawfly, a forest insect that attacks many pine species, is expected to have great inpact this year.Affected pine species include red, Scotch, Mugho, jack.Japanese red and Swiss mountain.Owners of these types of trees.whether ornamental plantings or forest plantations, should examine them at once for the presence of the European pine sawfly.It is now in the newly hatched larval or worm stage, and will grow to about one inch in length.The insect may be identified in the worm stage by its shiny black head and dark green body.The sawfly feeds in colonies on old pine needles, not the new growth.They appear to be a seething mass of wiggly worms, The worms feed about four to six weeks, depending on the weather.When they have {ed on a tree, it has the appearance of having had a haircut.Single or repeated defoliation seldom kills a tree but it does weaken the tree, making it more vulnerable to other disease and insect attactk.Natural controls of the European pine sawfly such as disease, climate, insect parasites, predators, birds and rodents all play important roles in reducing or preventing outbreaks.At times.however, these natural regulators fail and one must resort to insecticides.Control can be readily accomplished by spraying the colonies of worms with an insecticide applied with a garden sprayer.Short-lived, nonpersistent pesticides such as Sevin or Malathion.are highly effective.These materials are available at farm and garden stores without permit.GET L.265-2666 Farm Supplement - Page 9 Controlling flies in dairy barns The unseasonably warm weather starting in March may result in more severe house fly problems than usual.House fly problems originate from {lies that winter in the south and from a small number of flies that breed through the winter in warm barns in the area.These flies spread over the area and increase as soon as warm weather

Page 10 - Farm Supplement Ice cream new market by Isidore Martin The creation of QUEBEC LAIT INC.represents not only a historic moment and an important step for Granby Co-op but also a new orientation foreseen in the 5-year plan put forward in 1968.Philippe Pariseault, managing director of the enterprise, explained at the recent general meeting that the tendency to contract in the industrial milk business has caused the co-operative to take a new direction, that of raw milk and ice cream and that the evolution appears promising.DIVERSIFY In view of the expansion of cities (and therefore the expansion of new markets) and considering the letting go of part of dairy farms, said Mr.Pariseault, we must have the courage to adapt our enterprise to new needs that appear.The dairy industry must, not only work at reducing production costs, but also at diversifying its production, which is what the Granby Co-op is endeavoring to do.The time was ripe to grasp the raw milk and ice-cream market which offers possibilities for the future and the Granby Co-op has met the challenge by creating Quebec-Lait Inc.QUEBEC-LAIT INC.When approving its 5-year development plan in 1968, the co-operative had foreseen the new orientation it has now taken.As early as 1969, the Quebec - Lait Inc.corporation was registered.About two years ago, the Department of Agriculture of the province of Quebec was looking at the future of the dairy industry.A policy of plant consolidation was adopted and a committee set up to study the future situation.The Granby Co-op participated actively to this study whose report was brought down in July 1972.The Co-op, which, at the end of 1971, had already bought \u2018Les Laiteries Leclerc Inc.\u201d, was considered as the tool best able to effect, in a short time, a large-dimension regrouping of the dairy factories.This was done quite rapidly, as it fitted very well with the objectives the cooperative had set for itself.Recently therefore, the Granby Co-op and the minister of Agriculture, Normand Toupin, were in a position to announce the creation of Quebec - Lait Inc., bringing together Les Laiteries Leclerc Inc., Grenache Inc., A.Poupart & Cie Ltée and, since February 26, Les Laiteries Mont-Royal.The provincial government has participated in this venture with a grant of $1,500,000.Members of the Co-op, through the Laiteries Leclerc Inc., presently hold 55% of the shares of Quebec - Lait Inc.By 1979, they will have acquired the totality of the shares and Quebec - Lait Inc.will become entirely owned by the Co-op, of which it will be a subsidiary.The possibility is not set aside however that, by 1979, Quebec - Lait - Inc.will have known an even greater expansion by the purchase of or re-grouping with other companies.A new orientation for the Granby Co-op, the creation of Quebec - Lait Inc.also has the merit of allowing a Quebec enterprise to enter into the important market of raw milk and ice-cream.\u201cIf we hadn't acted,\u201d said Mr.Pariseault, \u201cthere is no doubt that others would have taken over the factories and the market.\u201d Translation of Extract from: \u201cEnsemble\u2019\u2019, April 20,

manure accumulates and straw or other bedding is added.Flies breed and increase very rapidly under these conditions and present an almost insurmontable fly control problem.Next in importance are poorly built or managed free stalls where manure is dropped in the stall and is not removed promptly.Manure left in the gutters, or allowed to accumulate anywhere in or immediately around the barn, will inevitably provide an excellent place for flies to breed.Stacked manure, particularly several weeks old, is unlikely to breed many house flies.The relatively soupy pure manure that is pushed around by the blade in loose housing structures is not a severe source.In wet weather all care must be taken not to allow grain or Tractors #- Equipment FORD 135 H.P.THE MOST POWERFUL WE HAVE ALL THE

ferment.Huge numbers of flies, particularly the stable fly, will breed indoors or outdoors in fermenting vegetable matter of almost any kind.The fermented material around a trench silo especially during a warm wet spell in the fall can produce a plague of stable flies.ELIMINATE SOURCES A good control program places emphasis on preventing breeding by eliminating these sources.If calves must be kept in a barn, a complete cleaning of manure must be done at least once, and preferably twice, a week.All gutters should be cleaned very thoroughly every day and the manure spread on the land.The same is true for the general manure scraped out of loose housing structures.If spreading is not done very frequently, it is a useless procedure for fly control as large maggots will continue to FARM

is important to construct free stalls so that cattle will drop their manure outside the stall area.Any manure dropped in free stalls should be picked up and disposed of at least daily.Keep free stalls dry and clean.USING FLY BAITS Fly baits are an excellent adjunct to a good sanitation program.There are many on the market and they include a number of different insecticides but most of them give good performance providing enough is used.Fly baits must be used liberally.A small amount used infrequently is rather useless even though you may see quite a few dead flies in the immediate vicinity of the bait dish.A suggestion is at least four tablespoons of bait per 1.000 square feet of floor area.All operators should be careful in placing the baits so that feed, place it above can racks or on or above bulk tanks It 1s more advisable to use bait strips, such as No-Pest-Strips.in the milk house.These contain Vapona and one strip should be used per 1.000 cubic feet of area.As long as air

natural drainage, according to John Purdon, agricultural engineering advisor for the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture in the district.Given these conditions, artificial subsurface drainage is a major factor in increasing farm profitability, said Mr.Purdon.Mr.Purdon, who is based at Chateauguay Centre, is concerned with agricultural engineering problems throughout Agricultural Region 7.This comprises the counties of Huntingdon, Chateauguay.Beauharnois, Laprairie, Napierville, St.Jean, Soulanges and Vaudreuil.He expounded on farm drainage at the recent Agricultural Encounter in Ormstown.There are two main reasons for the poor natural drainage of Quebec agricultural soils, he said.These are the quality of the soil itself, and the climate.Here in the St.Lawrence lowlands our clay or silty clay coils are generally the most fertile in the province, but have low permeability.Moreover, the topography is flat, resulting in slow surface water runoff.The long winter with frozen, impermeable soil is followed by the rapid melting of spring, and often a wet fall.\u201cIt follows that our soils are usually waterlogged in the spring and fall, and dry in the summer,\u201d said Mr.Purdon.Natural drainage can be improved by artificial drainage, usually a surface drainage system and a subsurface drainage system.\u201cThe subsurface drainage system must be designed to remove the excess water in the subsoil.This is usually done by installing lines of drainage pipe in the subsoil.The removal of excess subsurface water can also be done by means of deep open 21 to 31 cents a foot of pipe installed, said Mr.Purdon.duits (pipes) are much greater because of reduced maintenance, increased area of tillable land, and fewer losses during field operations.\u2018It is very important,\u201d Mr.Purdon went on, to consider the artificial drainage system as one system not a surface drainage system and a completely independent subsurface drainage system.Tile drainage does not eliminate the need for a good surface drainage system.\u201d Cost of installing subsurface drainage pipes in this area runs in the order of 21 to 31 cents a foot of pipe installed, said Mr.Purdon.Four-inch pipe, including transport, comes at from 11 to 16 cents a foot; filter material 3 cents a foot, excavation and installation 9 to 10 cents a foot, and back- filling 1 to 2 cents a foot.At 50-foot installation intervals this would represent an investment of $180 to $270 per acre improved, and half these figures if the lines had 100-foot spacing.Taking a figure of 24 cents a foot for initial investment, average annual cost amortized over 20 years would be 2.64 cents a foot, or $24 an acre for 50-foot spacing.The profitability of artificial drainage systems depends on such a number of factors that it is difficult to pin down to an exact figure.The type of soil, the crop grown, the degree of mechanization and the skills of the farmer are all involved.Mr.Purdon made a calculation for comparative purposes, however, using the example of a district farmer growing corn for on-farm use.Taking into account a 20-percent increased yield,a 5-percent larger growing area, saving the crop three times every 20 years, lower machinery and field operation costs and higher h i and A harvesting ana storage costs, for example, Mr.Purdon estimated net profit per acre would rise from $12 to $21 an acre, depending on the selling price of corn.\u201cWe could also give the example of the corn grower in 1972.On well drained soil the farmer got almost normal yields while on poorly drained soils very few were able to harvest grain.\u201d The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture helps farmers carry out drainage programs in two ways.First there is the \u2018bulldozer hours\u201d plan, with financial aid ranging from 50 to 60 percent.The second is the tile drainage program.which includes help in planning and a grant of 10 cents per foot of tile installed.All in all, said Mr.Pur- don,\u201d annual benefits of a well-drained soil allow you to pay for your investment and put some extra cash in your pocket.\u201d \u201cDon't forget what happened to your crops during the summer of

sought for years, one that will protect food crops from depredation while at the same time preventing undue harm to wildlife.Scientific studies have been undertaken because the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 gave the Federal Government responsibility for protecting migratory bird species, but recognized that control would be necessary when nuisance situations, such as excessive food crop depredations, occurred.Repellant Value Noted Results of experiments indicate that Avitrol (4-amino pyridine), can be used effectively.Although the chemical is toxic, its primary value as a repellent lies in its ability to cause an erratic flying and calling behavior in birds that frighten away other members of the flock.Mortality, therefore, is reduced to a minimum.Avitrol promises to be an improved control method over others tried previously against blackbirds.Explosive scaring devices are time consuming and difficult to maintain, shotgun patrols are expensive, and toxicants, such as strychnine, are not selective in that they might kill nontarget species in appreciable numbers.The chemical has been field tested since 1964.About a dozen noncrop uses for Avitrol already are registered, and the substance has been tested against starlings and sea gulls at airports and against pigeons in urban areas.Due to the cost of the chemical and its application this product will be of value to growers who lose more than 4 to 6 bushels per acre to birds.ee The calorie range for most of the buttermilk sold is 90-112 calories for eight ounces.Farmers are increasing their productivity

recognizing that he has problems.he must also be interested in solving them.He must have confidence in his veterinary adviser and strictly carry out the preventive measures recommended to him because these measures make up an interdependent set and.if some are neglected.the preventive program will lose a fair amount of its effectiveness.If necessary.there must be appropriate technical and financial aid available.Even if these three conditions are met, we do not pretend that we can solve all vous animal health problems but, together, we shall be able to solve some of them.Preventive veterinary medicine can be summed up in three words-hygiene.environment, and feeding.Veterinarians.farmers and milk producers, we have a common aim-the health of the herd.Why not pool our knowledge and skill in the interests of achieving it.Let us never forget that our cattle did not ask for the conditions we impose on them.It is all of us here present who have changed them and who demand of our

grain.It can be adapted to any size farm operation.The system requires (1 ) a storage bin or bins, (2 ) a perforated drying Pe floor adapted for the drying process, (3 ) a fan-heater unit, (4 ) a ini 2 method of humidity and temperature control.This equipment makes for a low cost grain drying system.* x * WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF \"IN-STORAGE\" DRYING?Simply stated, the system enables you to harvest your grain as soon as it is mature.with little regard to the weather.With the system in operation you avoid field losses and bad weather delays.You plan your harvesting operation to suit your time and work schedules.Many grain farmers have found that it permits them to eliminate the swathing operation entirely.You store your grain at premium quality and market it when prices are highest.x kx X HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?Te ee Pre sect di es Can Sr As you deliver your grain to the drying bin, a fan unit with supplemental heater automatically supplies natural or heated dry air to the bin to provide favourable drying conditions.À humidistat or thermostat controls the temperature and humidity of the air as it moves up, through the perforated floor and the grain in the bin.When natural air is sufficient the system provides it.when heat is required, it goes on automatically.The built-in controls ensure that the grain is not overheated.The result is dry grain that can be stored without loss until required for sale or processing.SIAL NY LJ; RT as THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES 57200 tré Pit Grain drying, using heated forced air, mechanizes a task that, until TEL.264-5441 PRO rie te nem, recently, has always been left to nature.Because grains reach maturity, through nature's method, from one to three weeks before they are dry enough to store, the advantages of mechanized crop drying are obvious.More than that, a farm manager, having his own drying and storage facilities can enjoy important time savings during the busy SAGE harvest season.Harvesting can begin practically at the crack of dawn.There is no need to wait until the sun has dried off the dew from the crops.With adequate mechanized drying, ho! f del day can be saved, ying, fours of delay a There is every indication that controlled grain drying will become standard farm practice.PROPANE INC, BLUE GAS DIVISION OF MARCHAND FRERES 75 CHATEAUGUAY HUNTINGDON _ "]
