42 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, April 10, 1953 Much Discussion Of Farm Ontario Federation of aiture met recently at the home of John Hamer at Myrtle. Discussion of the financial report breught about the feeling that too many farmers are ignorant of the great effort PR forth to aid and assist the well being of agriculture, too many farmers are refusing to share the cost of the benefits al- ready received. An individual la- borer pays more a month to his union than a farmer is asked to pay in a year to his Federation of Agriculture, All farmers benefit when the OFA starts an action as was only too well proven last month in our Ontario government s0 why do they not support their organization with funds and appre- ciation. Various committees were delegated to approach the town- ship councils which were not pay- ing their share and this press re- port asks the co-operation of all en- gaged in agriculture. The year books of the OFA were distributed and instructions given that they be sent to all ab- sent directors. The monthly pub- lication, The Co-operator, was or- dered to be subscribed to for each director. WISE MOVE Anson Gerrow reported on his attendance at a director's meeting in Toronto. Discussion took place as he told of the Edible Oils Bill and the feeling of the meeting was ope of great appreciation for the far-sighted and wise move made by the members of our govern- ment. Mr. Ferguson reported several recommendations made concern-, cerning the Municipal and Assess- ment acts to this meeting. The Minister of Municipal Affairs had suggested that when the act comes up for revision a member of the Federation's Assessment commit- tee might sit in with Department officials to consider the proposed changes. Mr. Gerrow reported that Mr. Black, manager of the United Live- stock Sales Agency, told of satis- factory progress to date in ad- ministration of the new central sales agency. Since the hog pro- ducers are pioneering in this field, | he said they could expect some problems in the beginning but gen- erally speaking, progress is being made and prices have improved to producers. HANDLING OF STRIKES A report was given concerning the handling of strikes in packing plants. It had been suggested that agriculture, generally speaking should be declared an industry in the national interest and those en- gaged in the handling and process- ing of food would secrifice the right to strike. It was felt that this was a timely recommendation against the time that railway em- plovees or packing houses could upset the whole economy. Feed grain marketing also was discussed and the OFA assured Problems that definite action would be taken | before July next. | A. Johns and John Hamer attend- ed the meeting of the Beef Pro- | ducers' Association of Ontario. This Association dealt with many prob- lems among which was the prob- lem of cattle rustling. A fund has been started as reward for in- formation leading to the apprehen- |sion of rustlers. Each County Coun- cil had been asked for $50 to fi- nance this. The Provincial Police and the Association are co-operat- ing in this problem and the police were present taking part in the panel discussion suggesting how |the farmers could help by more ! positive identification of cattle and | prompt reports of any loss. | The problem of veterinarians dis- iinfecting boots after visiting each | stable was reported on and the | Veterinarians' Assogiation was ap- I pealed to that this problem could |be dealt with in their Association. COMMUNITY SALES | Community sales and problems {forth the following regulations: All community sales arenas must have cement floors. All must be washed 'and disinfected after each | sale. All stock submitted for sale i to be examined by a veterinarian. | All stock must be registered in | sales book to show who consigned {the animal and who purchased. | This was chiefly to deter rustlers. Recommendation regarding the care and feeding of animals was | made to the Railways in an effort | to stop shipping fever. Speakers of the day spoke of the definitely poor- export market (but they took an optimistic view of Canada's ability to absorb her own beef products within her own country due to the rising popula- tion. Many details were presented to the Beef Producers to stimu- [late their interest in their stock with an eye to an optimistic fu- |ture in the Beef Industry. | East York Trustee Defends Students TORONTO (CP)--George Web- ster, East York school trustee for the last 26 years, Thursday de- I'eried critics who maintain the pres- ent generation as being inferior. | Mr. Webster, who was presented with the lamp of learning by the Ontario Secondary School Teach- ers' Federation, said that people {who say boys and girls are irres- | ponsible, won't work hard and make sacrifices don't know what thev are talking about. The presentation made to Mr. Webster is awarded by the teach- ers each year to someone outside the classrcom who has done out- standing work in the field of sec- 'k ondary education. | Want to buy, sell or trade -- A ' Classified ad and the deal is made.

"What, if anything, may be said in favor of sowing wild oats does not apply to Avena Fatua. This form of wild oats gives plenty of trouble to the farmer that sows it," says K. E. Fallis, Fieldman of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. This plant, says Mr. Fallis, tries to masquerade as the honest oat, but differs in appearance by a peculiar green - white color. A whittish sort of bloom covers the leaves and stems. It has a larger, more open type of head than. its respectable relative with a long, loose panicle with nodding and spreading branchlets. The seed of the wild oats is usually, though not always, dark or black in color. It is hairy, and has a long, twist- led, sharply bent awn. A sucker- Wild Oats Produce 'Trouble For Farmers mouth scar is always present at the base of the seed. Wild oats are troublesome in| cereal grains in the field, the! thresher and the cleaner. In the field, they grow very rapidly, choke out other crops, ripen as early as any spring grain, so are able to scatter seeds at harvest and threshing time, The long, twisted awns and hairy kernels are the best device yet developed for clogging screens on threshers and seed cleaners. Wild oats have a few other bad habits. They refuse to germinate in the fall, so they aren't killed by fall plowing. or winter frost. The seeds, buried by the plow, re- tain their vitality for many years, grow when brought up to the sur- face. And the plants are not con- trolled by selective weed killers such as 2,4-D. First and most important step : in eliminating wild oats is Don% Sow Them. Grain containing wild oats cannot be cleaned to remove them all, It should be ground to destroy the weed seeds before be- ing fed. econd, Long term hay and pas- ture crops prevent wild oats from ripening. Seed down fields infest ed with wild oats. Third. When sowing grain on badly infested fields, an early crop like fall wheat, prevents wild oats ripening before the crop is har. vested. Fourth. Cultivated crops, corn, beans, potatoes or turnips give a chance to destroy the weeds dur ing the season. Wild oats are a secondary jo ous weed under the Seeds Act. Sow No. 1 or Registered No. 1 seed and avoid a lot of grief with wild oats and other weeds. A house or a hose, youll find what you're after in the Classified section!
