vouquiavor reliance halton farmfrs isit michigan the 1953 bus jour sponsored by the halton soil and crop improe ment association as held on mon day tuesday and wednesdaj of last week slxlvslx halton farm folk participated in the ient which necessitated two buses the first point visited was the fanshaw dam near london there len johnson secretary of the thames valley authority conduct ed the party on a tour of the huge project and described the conser vatlon program which has been undertaken while in middlesex the group had the opportunity of seeing something of the havoc resulting from tbe cyclone in late may all of the group had seen something of the damage done in halton by smaller twisters in former years however one has to see the wreck age in the various communities of western ontario to appreciate how lightly we in this county have got off in the past in middlesex alone well over 70 bams and some 30 houses were totally demolished and many others were badly damaged along with the wrecking of the buildings went the destruction of avenues and groves nof shade trees in brief it was one of the most tragic sights we have ever seen and one which we hope never to see again the effects of the cyclone were also observed in samia true the business section ot this city is get ting back on its feet and while the debris had been cleaned from 4he sueo tt may tw1djn wpre noted where the top storey was missing and reconstruction w ork as under way the group also had the opportunity of a two hour tour through the immense imperial oil plant and also a dnve through chemical vale along the st clair tuesday saw the party m mich igan where they visited five dif fcrent farms the highlight here was the farm of frank jacobs near armada on this 120 acre farm e six upright silos and the op orator is a real grass silage en thus last mr jacobs has been using grass silage for the past 17 years and it was the general con senus of opinion among the group that if there is an authority on the subject he is the man he seemed to be equally well versed in soils fertilizers rotations etc in short was with difficulty that our visit re was brought to a conclusion another farm which aroused keen interest was that of huff it son near romeo here their herd of polled jerseys is being kept in the barnyard instead of the herd being turned out to pasture fresh s is cut daily and fed in racks the cattle also have the run of their loafing pens where dry cat bay is also available in other words huff k son practice loose housing with a ave stall milking parlor operated by one man

miles outside ot dc troit we cin only suggest to our readers that this point alone justi flea the trip here there is some thing of interest for all members of the familv however when planning a visit be sure and allow for at least a half day enroute home through essex county a visit was made to the subsection at woodslea where a study of ro tations on heavy clay soils is being made of the effect of brillum on soil texture in all the party covered 595 miles during the three days and in so far as we could determine all 68 haltonites returned home tired but more than satisfied with the three day program twilight weed meeting well attended the first weed meeting of its kind ever held in halton was staged on friday evening last at the farm of medford pewtress in trafalgar township despite un favorable weather conditions some 60 were on hand for the excellent program stanley young fleldman for the crops seeds and weeds branch of the ontario department of agriculture was the special speaker certainly it was a pro gram which anyone interested in weed control could ill afford to miss in the county of halton weeds are costing hundreds of thousands oft douarsannuall munlcipi authorities in the county in many cases are spending anywhere from 1500 to 2000 annually on road side spraying some are doing a excellent job and others quite thej reverse it would seem logical to us that in the future when such a meeting is being held that town ship and countv authorities might well see to it that those charged with the responsibility of control ling roadside weeds are in attend ance chemical weed killers mar it one of the greatest advances in agricultural science of the past ten years however it is er obvious as one goes about the county that there is a tremendous difference in the results being secured in short 15 00 per mile in some munici palities is giving much better con trol or results than 30 00 per mile in others it would therefore seem logical to us that it is about time that the tax payer should be in quiring why cholera control program continues latest reports from veterinarians assigned to cholera control and eradication duty in ontario indi catc that outbreaks have now been definitely confirmed to date on a total of 35 premises in eleven western ontario counties in each case so far hogs passing through community sales have been the cause of the infection a methodical routine check of all lots of hogs sold in these chan ncls has now been completed and this procedure has been lnstru mental in detecting potential cases even before visible symptoms an evident efforts are still continu mg to track down the source of original infection there arc a number of possible ways in which the irus could have entered the province and all avenues are being carefull explored hog prices higher hogs continued to advance sharp in price during may in both u s and canadian markets at chicago the may average price rf 23 60 per cwt for live hogs set a

first week in september 1951 v hen the price was 36 25 direct contrast to hogs the cattle trade continues to be feat ured by relatively heavy supplies and little change in prices beef is moving m substantial volume into retail channels now that it is priced attractivelv in relation to beef dollar now stretching the jokes one heard not so long ago on the alleged high price of bet f stock are
