Perhaps one ai the mast im- portant matters discussed at the meeting was the question "Is there a need for a fammer's in- spector ta inspect weights and grades at cenners?" It was bmought forth in dis- cussion that same canners tend ta assign an estimated weight in excess af literai weight ta pro- duce-bearing receptacles thereby reducing the grass tonnage ai saleable praduce and resulting in a decided drop in cash proceeds. One exemple quated in this Lconnection was the sale ai bulk peas. Canners, a pea grawer told the Forum, assigned a weight ai 10 pounds ta each box holding peas reaped from bis farm. In his estimatian, a pea box, similar ta a butter box, would weigh be- tween six and eigbt pounds and flot 10 as estimated by cenners. He alsa said that bis financial loss through excess weigbt assign- ed ta receptacles, was in the neighbourbood ai $75. "Talk To The Wind" "Ahl farmers that graw canning craps know what's gaing an," said a Newcastle representative, "but as far as doing sometbing about At yourself, yau mey as Well talk ta the wînd." This discussion led ta the adop- tion ai a mecommendatian ta re- quest Durham Caunty Farm For- ums ta appoint a secretamy ne- spansîble for inter-forum activity and ta do some field wark at the same time. This position could also cali for inspection duties et canning factories when crops were ready ta hamvest. The Durham Federation ai Agriculture, it was said, were ini a position ta pay travelling expenses ta a secretary af this nature, and the position was tentatively defined as a 'ýpart time, paid position." To Appoint Committee In order ta spansor incmeased interest in farm activities, it was decided that a cammittee, an whicb eech forum was represent- cd, shauld be appointed imedi- ately. Witb a big rally passible in the near future, this cammittee would be instrumental in rally panning. The cammittee, as aid dawn in discussion, would be instrumental in rally planning. The committee, as laid down in discussion, would cansist ai ahl Farum chairmen (or other per- manent executive) and collec- tively, they would elect an ex- ecutive which in reality wauld be a Durham County Farmn For- umi's executive committee.

Second, representatives at the October meeting will help arrange County Folk Scbools and aid in planning future pragrams. It is understood that the expenses ai Durham farm folks wishing ta attend the Cherry Hill school will be met by the Durham Federa- tian ai Agriculture. A Folk School, ta refresh the memory ai interested people, could be likened ta an extension ai Farm Radia Farum. Definite subjects are discussed thraughout the day. and speakers, same ai students with modemn trends and be et the meeting, will acquaint whom will travel many miles ta ideas an particular subjects. Nat- urally, the social side afi lue will be kept alive in planned commun- ity evenings. "Why," you might ask, "could this not be a day scbool?" For obviaus reasans a scbool ai this nature wauld flot be advisable. Forgetting transportation ob - stacles and mînor delaying de- tails, school members, in arder ta aller constructive ideas toaa discussion shauld endeavour ta remave tbemselves from distract-1 ing influences. When a bdy ai people are isolated in ane com- mon ceuse, they tend ta tbink and talk that cause. Ta benefit great- ly iram a Folk Schaol, constant inter-mingling is essential. The subjects ai discussion, or the theme ai the entire four day period will be taken from the fields ai cammunity lufe and any phase may be stressed.

Recommends Farmers Using ""Place Rame Signs" Local Apple Crop j5% Below Heavy Yield Last Season The August lS5th' estimate of the Eastern Ontario apple crop is now placed at 284,000 ibarrels or 35 per cent below the heavy yield af .last season, according to a gov- ernment survey. Weather con- ditions have been very favour- able during the past month for the development of the fruit crop. fApples are sizing well and be- gining ta take on some calour. In most, orchards the fruit is stili quite free from secondary scab in spite af cansiderable foh- age infection. In general the well sprayed orchards are quite free irom. insect damage. Cedar Rust bas caused consid- erable fruit injury in some areas, especially sa an varieties such as N. W. Greening, Cortland and Delicious. A heavy second brood af Red Banded Leaf Roller is threatening in a number af orch- ards in the Brighton-Trenton district with a late cover spray naw being applied. A heavy bail storm on July 28 in the Newcastle area damaged a tnumber af archards involving s ome 10,000 barrels ai apples. It is estimated that 55,000 barrels were reduced ta culis while the rest of the damaged fruit might meet the requirements af a hail- Sed or C grade. Farms Ask Changes In Incomne Tax Two problems encountered by 'farmers, chieily in eastern pro- vinices, in the application ai the incarne tax, were deait with by the semi-annual, meeting af the iCanadian Federation of Agricul- ture in Fredericton recently. Resolutions pased unanimous- ly by the C.F.A. Board asked that same suitable allowance ai de- preciatian be pravided with re- spect ta installation af tile drain- age an farms, which was in re- ality a capital expenditure, and alsa that regulations respecting incomWe tax on farmn woodlat rev- enues be changed. Eastçrn far- mers affected by these regulations dlaim that as at present admin- Sistered they constitute a tax an 1capital assets. The Federation is also asking the Incarne Tax Division for a clarification of the regulations as 1they are being applied ta farmers subdividing their farm lands for residential purposes. Problems attendent upon the marketing ai coarse grains from Western Canada in the Eestern Provinces were given the major attention et the semi-ennual meet- ing ai the Canadien Federation ai Agriculture et Fredericton, Sept. 12 and 13. Eastern delegetes were strongly of the opinion that the placing af the marketing ai coarse grains ini the hands af the Canadien wheet Board, whilcea welcome ac- tion, bad not resultcd in solving ail ai the probicms attendant upon the marketing ai the feed grains in the castema provinces, wbich had been accentuated the past year by short draps on the prair- ies, with heavy demand and me- sultant high prices fqr the feeds. Bath western and eastema dele- getes et the meeting la Frederic- ton rccognized faults in the pres- cnt system af marketing wbich might be ncmedied if some other system aif marketing cauld be de- vised. In the public sessions af the Federatiôn meeting, ahl three Ministers af Agriculture ai the Maritime Provinces stressed the necd ta scek iutber solution ta the pmoblem, and F. W. Walsh, iDeputy Minister ai Agriculture for Nova Scatia, leading discus- sion in the public meeting an the subject, said it was imperative i that same means be devised of securing the necessary supplies ai fced grains from the wcst for the'livestock industmy in B.C. and the castema provinces without suffcring the severe fluctuations which bad chaactcrized the mar- keting ai the feed grains during the pest season. Livestock feed- ers, he sald, neyer knew from day taý day or weck ta wcck, what itheir feed was gaing ta cast them. Much ai the opinion et the Fredericton meeting favoured the sctting Up af a ca-aperative central purchasing agency in Eastern Canada ta make buik pur- chases oi feed grains iram the Wbet Board on behaîf , ai the eastcmn ivestadc feeders. It was dcclded that this proposal sbauld be funther investigated. Of the 7,000,000 f un pelts taken in Canada in e yeer, abaut 90 per cent are wild fuma.-- CFA Ufrges Action Re Community Surpluses The Canadien Federetion ai Agriculture is determined that the Food and Agriculture Organ- ization ai tbe United Nations will nat be ellowed ta ncglect tbe prablem ai the bandling ai farm commadity sumpluses in the in- ternational f ield, and the pro- posal advanced by the C. F. A. througb I. F. A. P. ia 1949 fan a programme ta deel with such sur- pluses. At its semi-annuel meeting et Fredericton, Sept. 13, the Board ai Directors ai the C.F.A. pessed e resolution stressing the urgency ai getting a programme under way in this cannectian and esking the Canadien Govcmnment ta make formel rcqucst that tbe subject be plaed on the agenda for the forthcomingz F.A.O. con- ference in November. Members ai the Diî'rham Fed- eration of AgricVIlture werc un- animaus ian ecommending a reso- lution ta seek dloser liaison be- tween the, Federatian and Farm Forum groups, et a meeting beld Mondey, Sept. 25 in the Agricul- tural Offices, Bowmanville. Tbcy also indlcated a desire ta assist financielly, caunty representatives attending the fortbcoming folk school at Unianville. The small representation ai F- deretion members agreed tbat a Fomum's Secretary should be ap- painted an a part-time basis ta co-ordinete Forum activity in the County and aifer aid in tbe pro- posai ai subjects for discussion. It ivas suggested that the Secre- tary be peid according ta bis ec- tivity mang the Forums, and given a set mileage payment for travelling expenses. Clame Burt, acting Secretery ai the Farm Federetion for Ontario was present at the meeting and stressed bis particular interest in ways and means ai obtaining clos- cm liaison between the two farm groups. He revicwed brieily the proposed discussion subjects out- lined by Forum members at a speciel meeting an Friday, Sept. 22nd. ]Place Name Signa Walter Reynolds was appointed Chairman ai a committee thet includes Chanlie Osborne and Ed. Milison, ta leuncb a praject in thd county by which ail farmers will benefit. Since last spring, Mm. Reynolds bas been advocating the distribution ai place neme signs on ferm gates as a means ai better direction and distinction. Authonity wes given the new chairman et the meeting ta pro- ceed with the project and it wes proposed thet Ferm Forums be useci as an avenue ai distribu- tion. Representing the Femmer's Ca- Opemative Insurance organization, Relph Staples told the Durham Federetion that detailed infor- mation relative ta bath life and auto insurance is prescntly being printed at Toronto and should be available ta the Durham Federa- tion in a short time. Tbe litera- ture being forwarded, be said, stresses the type ai men that sbould be appointed agents; their specific duties and obligations; qualifications for the appointment ai local agents, and offers an overall view af the Co-Opemative insurance set-up. At the present time, there are 92 Co-Operative lii e insumance agents and 158 Ca-Opemative auto insurance agents in Ontario. He expccts that the latter figure will decline in the future. Howard Faley, the Bawman- ville man tcntetively appointed ta share the Durham insurance district with Wilfred Elson, Mill- brook, attended the recent meet- ing, and be was told by the Ca- Operative insurance representa- tive the fommalities be would have ta undergo before be could be con- sidemed e bonafide Co-Op. insur- ance agent.
