VKt TA, 3MM21 51, 1947 Nfew Swine and Caftle Policies Aunouuced by The N~ew Goverument Three new live stock policies, lrected towards improvemnent o! swine and bee! cattle in the prov- ince of Ontarie, by means o! di- rect assistance from the Depart- mient o! Agriculture, have been announced by the Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture -for Ontario. These are te be 'known as the Demonstration Hog »Production Policy, the Bacon Heg Club Palicy, and the Bull Prem- luni Policy, and are to be put in- to e!fect immediately. - Demonstratlon Poniey The purpose o! the Demonstra-1 tien, Hog Production Pelicy is foi.u1f1d, and is as !ollows; (1) To ascertain facts relative te the1 c ost o! producing hogs on Ontar- ' ia farms. (2) To determine the rations meat suitable for the ec- onemical production o! Grade A hegs. (3) To investigate and es- tablish methods for controlling parasites and hog diseases in the herds o! co-operators. (4) To de- monstrate the most efficient prac- tices and methods te other hog raisers in the area. To carrry out this policy, one or more commercial hog raisers will be selectcd in each ceunty, by the Agricultural Representa- tive in co-eperation wlth the coun- ty Hog Producers' Association. The number o! co-operators in each ceunty wlll be based on the hogs margeted !rom the county in 1946, in the proportion o! anecoc- A1 * s SeeHOUSEHOLD FINANCE.

These ce-eperators w.il have the close co-operation, i carrying out the project, of the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture, the Ontario Agric!ultur- ai College, the Ontario Veterin- ary Coliege and the Agricultural Representatives. In the seiection of co-operators, it is required that they be success- fui farmers maintaining flot less than three nor more than eight sows, or farmers who derive an important portion of farm reven- ue from hegs, who produce hogs at ail semsons of the year and finish and market ail the hogs produced on their farms. Pure bred, breeders and farmers who foilow the practice of, buying large numbers of, weanling or feeder pigs will not be consider- ed. As an important part of the project, the co-operators will be required to keep records cever- ing the quality of hogs marketed, feed consumptien and the*cost o! producing hogs. Publie meetings of hog producers will b,3 heid on the premises of co-operators from time to time to discuss the meth- ods employed and the resuits ob- tained, and the ce-operators will be expected* to participate in the discussions at these meetings or at ether swine improvement meetings held within the county. As a measure of assistance te the farmers, co--operating in mak- ing this policy effective, the Live Stock Branch will pay them a grant of $50 per sow yearly, pro- vided two litters are farrowed by each sow during the year. In ad- dition, the Live Stock Branch will provide a field service te as- sist and advise the co-operators, while the Ontario Veterinary Col- lege will provide an inspection service at regular intervals and make additional visits as requir- ed. The Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, through its animal husband- ry and Economics 'Departments, xviii assist by formulating rations and co-operate by supplying re- cord forms and analysing records at the end cf the year. Bacon Hot Club Policy The Bacon Hog Club Policy has been designed te make high class boars available in cemmunities where they are not now being maintained, and where their use is essential te improvement in type and quality of the market hogs produced. It is net the in- tention of the Department te in- terfere with the activities of farm- ers who make a practice of pur- chasing good boars 'and offering them for public service. In re- cognition of the contribution that pig testing has made te the im- provement of pure bred. swine, boars placed under this policy will be limited te those tracing te ancestors qualified ini advanced registry. Copies of the regulations gev- erning the new Bacon Hog Club Policy are now avallable, and can be secured from the Live Stock Branch, dntario Department of Agriculture, Toronto. They pro- vide that the policy is applicable to, any community in Ontario, where boars will be made, avail- able on a rentai basis te, clubs erganized for the benefit of mem- bers and others in the community. A club must consist of net less than six meflbers ewning at least twenty sows. Precautions will be taken to aveid new clubs in tee close proximity to clubs already established. Under the regula- tiens, clubs are responsible for previding com!ortable quarters for the boars and maintaining them in healthy breeding condi- THI CANADIAK STATESMAN. EOWU~NVILL~.

They will also be réqulred Dte keep records of sows bred d4wi- !ing the Srear and te submit re- ports at the end of each- year. iClubs supplied with young boars will be expected to keep them: at least twe years, and if -mature boars are placed, the cpn±raQts 1will cover o 'ne year terms. The boars will -always remain the praperty o! the Ontario Live Stock Branch, and must be avail- able for inspectien at aU Urnmes. L The rentai charges made te Lclubs fer the boars will be at the .rate o! $10 for the !irst year and 1$5 for the second. year where [young boars are placed. If a boar iis retained for more than two years or is exchanged for-or re- placed by a mature boar, no rentaI Wiil be charged. The Live Stock Branch wibl pay transportation charges on bears te the niearest railway station o! the club, ex- cept where the distance invoived is less than twenty miles, in which case clubs will be exliected. te take delivemy o! the boar at the breeder's premises or some ine termediate point. Bull Premium Policy The Bull Premium Pelicy, the anneuncement says, is being spen- sered for the purpese o! encour- aging commercial cattie preduc- ers te make greater use o! super- ior sires o! the beef and dual pur- pose breeds in these communities where beef and dual purpose cat- tie are maintained, with a view te developing a greater standard- ization of the type and an im- provement in the general quality of the cattie preduced within such areas. Under this policy, organized clubs puchasing bulîs of bec! or dual purpose breeds shall be el- igible for financial assistance. ,A club must consist of neot less than three members, oewning at least thirty females of breeding age. All applications must be apprevd by the Live Steck Commissioner hefore a bull is purcha.,ed in ord- er te be eligible for financial as- sistance. The bulîs must be pur- chased at auction sales. supported by at least three consignors' at which five or more bulîs are offer- ed, ald regubations ..s te inspec- tion of the bulîs in advance o! the sale are laid down. A speci- fic provision is that enly buils over ten months old, iwell-grewn .for their age, in good condition, typical e! their breed in every respect, negative te tuberculosis and Bang's Disease and guarant- eed breeders will be eigible for approval. Iii the case of dual purpose bulis, their dams must aise be quabified in L.O.P.- Regu- lations are abse laid down for the proper housing and care o! the bulîs. In the matter o! financial assis- tance from the Live Stock Branch, it is providcd that approved clubs may receive a grant equal te one third o! the cest o! the bull, but in ne case shaîl the grant on a single bull exceed $150. One bal! of the total grant will be paid folbowing the purchase of an ap- proved bull, and the balance ati the end o! the first year after pur- * chase, provided the bull has been maintained in geod condition and the regulations respecting breed- ing of cews for members have been observed. Clubs shahl net be eligible for grants on more than one bull in any three year period. In connection with these three policies, detailed information and copies o! the regulations are now available, and can be secured by writing te the Live Stock Branch, Ontario Dcpartment o!

Dollars -Mako Quit. a Difference Long-Term Flnancint Makes Farm Aids Avaliable Modern farmn equipment looks very attractive in catalogues and display windows. But this equip- ment will save time and labor for yeu only when it is working on your farm. "Unless a farmer can use the improved agricultural aids avail- able today, he"has a hard time get- ting maximum profits from his farm," says Mr. F. 0. McIlveen, local manager of the Bank of Montreal, in discussing the gev- ernment's farm improve me nt plan. "Such machinery can bring better profits and more pleasant living te a farmer and his family. Electrical installations, i ns i de plumbing, and labor-saving de- vices and equipment, ail bring a dividend o! cententment inte the home." Mr. Mcllveen pointed out that many farmers had lightened their labor and increased thieir produc- tion by using modemn mechanical aids purchased threugh a B of M farm imprevement boan. He add- ed that he would be glad te dis- cuss any financial pmoblems or ar- rangements with any farmers de- sîring te do se. "This lew-cost plan," says Mr. Mcllveen, 'has been 'designed te help progressive farmers put their imprevement plans Into practice." 23-1 MOVINO WEST 14.

Suggestions For Pasture Programi Seasonal fluctuations in pas- tume yield.ý present the problem o! surplus, with consequent waste e! etherwise good feed and scarcity later in the season, wîth a re- sulting decrease in milk produc- tion and increase in the feed bibi, says John D. MacLeod, Director o! the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Dcpartment o! Agriculture. Obvieusby pastures which give the biggest yields ln May and June, says Mm. MacLcod, cannot be cxpectcd te continue te do se through the months of Juby and August. A pasture program tà cever the entire pasture willl tend te reduce waste at the peak periocl and prevent scamcity dur- ing midsummer. Mm. MacLcod gives the !ollowing iiseful sugges- tions in planning such a pastume program; 1. For early spring pasture, faîIl rye gives other pasture fields a chance te firm up and make some growth and permits shorten- ing the stable feeding period in spring. 2. For late spring and summer, an improved pasture mixture Is recemmended. 3. Midsummcr pasture: (a) Hay aftermath. Hay mixtures composed o! alfalfa, brome and bottom. grasses and deovers usual- ly give good aftermath pasture. (b) Annual pasture. A smail ac- reage o! annual pasture as a sup- plement te hay aftermath and pasture mixtures is, particularby useful in unfavourable semsons. The following annual pasture mixtures are regommended, <a) Sudan grass, 30 pounds per acre. (b> Oats, two -bahela and Sudan grass' 20 pounds per acre. (c) Qats, 2% busheis and swcet cIOv- e1,20 pounds per acre. If seeded hlate May or early June thee apnUal postures should b. pro- ductive . i uly and Auguët. Sheuld thc season be uiifavour- able for hay altermath pasture, arnual pasture may bridge the gap and ptake Ita"place entlrely. This means that ,second crop hay may b.e ut or. a seed crop secur- ed from the hay field. 4. Early fail-improvedpasture Mixture. 5. Lat. fail. Fall rye sown in August used, for Lall and early spring pasture. Such a preqram, with necess- ary modifications- to individual needs should help te iengthen the pasture season in early spring anid late fail and maintain a high level of production during mldsumnier. Farmers interested i pastures are. urged te secure a copy o! "Guide te Crep Production". and other information frein their Ag- ricuitural Representative or from the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto. It takes 3,250 tics te' carry a mile e! C.N.R. track. There are 99,290,750 ties used in the 30,551 miles e! C.N.R. track ia Canada. Some men talk a great deal about very little.

Fermera Alarmîd .As Durham Cru>p Prosp«ets D.niel Parme rs of this district and al across Ontario have just about given up hope o! raising an ade- quate feed grain crop this year. Constant rain lias made the situ- ation extremely serious. Theus- ands of acres still flooded cannot now be sown to grain crops. Thou- sands af acres of grain already Up are endangered and fields are taking on a yeilow appearance.
