Ontarlo TobaccoMust Improve in Quality, to Satis5fy by LizArmstrong The key ta the overal success of the 1976 Ontario tobacco crop depends on quality, not quantity. That's the firm opinion of 'Mac Frew, the local member of the Ontario Fiue-Cured Tabacca Growers' Marketing Board, who awns a tobacco farm south of Elizabethville. For the past several years quantity has held sway, but unless provincial tobacco grawers tailor their crops ta suit international markets, they wiil likely lose much of their lucrative expart trade. Manufacturers Paid $200 million for the Ontario crop in 1975, and over a third of that total was exported ta 40 nations araund the world. By far the largest share -- $50 million -- was purchased by Export i the United Kingdom. Compar- ed ta 1974, that represents a drap of $10 million., *Consequently, it's the sag-- ging British market that Ontaria growers are aiming ta please most this season. Last ear's bumper yield of almast 2600 pounds of tobacco per acre in Northumberland and Durham, saonds impres- sîve -- in fact, it was tops in the province. And other tobacco caunties weren't far behind. But the buyers aren't satis- fied with sheer quantity. They want tobacco which passesses a high nicotine content, and that's where aur praducers feli short, according ta Mr. Frew. Aiming Higher The average, nicotine con- tent in the 1975 cr.op was Attacks on Domnestic Fowl Are Not Unusual- Associate agricultural representative, Rod Stork, said last week that attacks an domestie birds by predatory animais arel a cammon pro- blem. But, hle saidthat measures can be taken ta heip keep the birds safe. Mr'. Stork said an owner can pratect his fawi by making sure cracks in build- ings where the birds are kept are completely sealed up. He said it anly takes a twa inch hale ta all ow a mink into a chicken coop, and once inside. a mink may kili 50 chîckens out of sheer biaad-lIust. -Things ta look for, in making a coop animal proof are missing strands of chicken wire, and gaps around doors. Since minks are able ta dig underground, chieken wire is sametimes sunk inta the ground ta a depth of several feet. However, Mr. Stork said last week that making en- closures, completely mink proaf is difficuit. "If a mink wants ta get inoa a compound, 1 venture ta say there's no way yau canstop it," he explained. Not that minks are the only bird killers common ta the area. Mr. Stark said rats and cats may also kili domesticat- ed birds. He aiso said that attacks on fawl are especially common for the small scale bird fancier who may have 100 chiekens ta supply him with eggs. Commercial poultry men usually have animal proof buildings. M'arket comparatively low at 2.7 per cent., This year the grawers are aiming at 3.5 per cent, similar ta the quality of tobacco grown. in the United States. Mr. Frew warns that if the nicotine content of dames- tic tobacco remains low, Ontario growers may lose out on the internationalmarket ta third world nations, who can produce the same quality tobacco (between 2.7 - 3.0 per cent) far mare cheaply than it can be grown here. In order *4o help faost the quality of tobacco grawn in the province, the marketing board has adopted a new methad of allatting quotas for 1976. 1 I the past, each farmer was allowed ta plant a, certain number of acres as dictated by the marketing board, in response ta the manufactur- ers' demands. This year, his quota is ta be measured by weight. To use a purely hypothetical: example, a grawer who was alletted a quota of 50 acrés last year, will be given a quota of 110,000 pounds ta produce this year. Under the aid system, farmers tried ta squeeze every possible paund out of each allowable acre. Now, he can pay more attention ta the quality of his tobacco without being tied toa'a specifie acreage. In theory, poundage means that a grower can spread his crop' out further, use' less fertilizer, and 'top' his plants mare. 1As Mr. Frew explained it, each tobacco plant produces a certain amount of nicotine. By removing mare of the upper leaves during the growing season, the farmer can achieve a higher concentra- tion of nicotine in the rest of ~Row~a ~vtQQe! e e TI-OS N S'4EALTtiPEALTO~'e the the plant. To achieve his quota pound- age, the producer may have ta graw mare individual plants, but the average quality of the leaves should improve. Mr. Frew hopes sa. General- ly speaking, he believ es that the Ontario tobacca industry is in trouble, and he's counting on poundage ta help bail it out. Paundage is a controversial issue among tobacco grawers, and is only in the experiment- ai stage. Mr. Frew exphasized that at the end of this season ail Ontario tobacco farmers will have an opportunity to, vote on whether or nat they wish ta retain the system for 1977. He added that the market- ing board has hired a consult- ine firm ta analyse the historical records of each tobacca farm in order ta arrive at mare, equitable allottments for pound quotas.
