THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLL ONTARIO TE RURSDAY, JULY md, IU -Masse y -Fer guson. Net ln Excess of $12 Million First 6 M ont h Period. a- Massey-Ferguson recently an- ' nouxxced that consolidated net ,z income for the first six months *of 1959 was $12,606,000 against ,o% $1,791,000 for the comparable ,, 1958 period, wbile consolidated es world-wide sales of $234,456,- 000 were up 12 per cent. Six J. 23 Accidents During Survey There have been 23 fanm ac- cidents in Durham County since the Farm Safety Survey started on March lst, 1959 according to reports received by A. O. Dal- rymple, the Agricultural Re- presentative in Bowmanville. These accidents included five fires, five highway accidents involving farm people, six around barns, and the remain- der were miscellaneous mis- haps. Nine men, and eight women were in the accidents, and there was a total of 206 days actual time lost by the people involv- ed. So far medical expenses have amounted to $428. The estimated loss in the five fires is said to be between $70,000 and $100,000. Carelessness was blamed for several fires. Others were caused by cbildren playing with matches, and the reasons for others have flot been discov- ered. months resuits do flot include the operations of F. Pefkins Lirnited, large diesel engine manufacturers acqulred in March 1959. The $12.6 million net income or $ 1.03 per common share was after reflecting $4,845,000 loss carry-forward tax credits. No loss carry-forward tax credits were applicable in the 1958 period because the North Ameni- can operations were in a loss position during the first haif of 1958. The Company said that pro- gress toward improved operat- ing resuits, particularly in North America, continues to be encouraging. The largest sales increase o! 42 per cent was in North Amer- ica, now the Company's major market. Sales wîthin the European market improved dur- ing the second quarter, bringing sales for the baîf year almost level with those of the 1958 period. Buoyant demand in the United Kingdom substantially offset the effect of French de- valuation. Within Australia and New Zealand a 33 per cent sales in- crease resulted from a more favourable economic and agri- cultural limaté and improved marketing arrangements. Eco- nomic difficulties in our.princi- pal markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America brought declines in each of these areas. Albert A. Thornbrougb, Presi- dent, said that the outlook for 134 King StL M Bowmanville THE average yield of mixed ay is about: 2 tons per acre. Yet the best fields produce nearly double this amount, and at a lower cose per ton or bale. Why? Because the legumes in mixed bay are heavy users of phosphate and potash, and unless they are topdressed, yields soon faîl off and stands die out.

He added that he regarded the recent Perkmns acquisition as a develop- ment of the greatest importance in the Company's forward planning. The integration and utilization of Perkins facilities and other constructive programs in the Eastern Hemisphere will be a major management activ- ity for some tume to come. Four Ways to Dehorn Calves While some cattlemen prefer to dehorn their cattle as year- lings - large numbers can be handled at one time that way - more and more breeders are now convinced that cal! dehorn- ing pays. Dehorning calves offers a lot of advantages, say livestock specialists o! the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. Not only are calves easier to hold and control, but they aren't set back as much as yearlings that are dehorned, and there's less danger of bleeding or infection. Which method is best? Prof. G. E. Raithby, head of the O.A. C. Department of Animal Hus- bandry, stresses that no one method is superior in ail re- spects; the choice rests with the individual. He notes that while caustic is the cheapest, it might be the riskiest to use; electric dehorners do a good job, but take a bit of skill; gougers or Barnes dehorners can handle the widest age range o! calves (gouging too deep, however, can cause narrow polîs); and while the elastrator can be used as a dehorner, it takes a long time to do the job and the cal! may sufer a setback. Ail four methods will work. Perhaps some of the following suggestions from the Depart- ment's livestock specialists will Ihelp you do a better job. The use of caustic or other chemicals kilîs the horn celîs in the button-like rudiments be- fore the caîf is 10 days old. The caustic stick containing potas- sium or sodium hydroxide is cheaper than the paste or lîquid, but is a bit more risky. It has to be wrapped with paper or cloth to protect your hands Clip the hair around the horn button and place a ring of vase- line around the base of the but- ton to protect the surrounding skin from the caustic. Then, moisten the tip of the caustic stick and rub it over the button until the skin begins to slip and blood appears. The whole but- ton must be covered. It's probably bè\st to leave the calf tied for at Ieast haîf an hour after treatmê,nt. This al- lows plenty of tî-ýe for the eaustic to take effèct and pre- vents other calves from licking the treated area. Surplus.caust- ic is then removed, 'and treated calves kept in separate pens for à day to prevent, rubbing the caustic on the skini and into the eyes of other clvis.i Similar methods i~e used with the parète or liquid~ except that paddle and the lituid wtepsei p with a small brush. One caution: keep caustic well sealed and away from children. i Electric dehornerj are recom- mended for calves from 4 to 6 weeks o! age. They don't work well on calves older than eîght weeks. One method Isto clip the hair taken off-when reserves of of PHOSPHATE & POTASH established stands of hay should be top- dressed each year with a liberal applica- tion Of PHOSPHATE ÎS POTASH. On high potash soil use 20% Superphos- phate.' To get the greatest returfi for your money, the best tme to topdress is rigbt after the first cutring when soul reset- ves of available plant foods are Iow. This will insure a high yield of leafier, top-quality bay on the second and third cuttings.

Fruit Growers Produce $40 Million in '58-.. Canada's fruit growers pro- duced nearly $40 million worth of frui.t last year, and the long- term outlook for the îndustry is for a steady increase in the dollar value of the crop, accord- ing to the current Commercial letter published by The Cana- dian Bank of Commerce., Fluc- tuations in the value of the fruit crop, however, are fairly sharp, owing to changing wea- ther and the varjous hazards in- volved in the industry, as well as unstable market conditions. The market for fruit products is, however, likely to grow more stable, the Letter says, because of the increasing pop- ulation and improved market- ing methods, including the in- creased use of freezing to pro- tect fragile products. The hazards of fruit growing are also being met by technol- ogical improvement, the Letter says. Scientific development of insecticides and of fruit breeds léss vulinerabie to weather con- ditions is already removing some o! the hazard from the imltStry- AnoVher major factor in the increase ofour fruit growing industry is experience, and fruit growers in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia have acquired a fund of practical know]edge which is indispens- able in the expansion of an in- dustry which faces hazards varying from weather to mar- ket conditions, the Letter says. The postwar pattern of the fruit growing industry has been marked by the failure to regain overseas markets lost during the war, and by problems posed by the ageing of orchards past their prime, the Letter says. However, in reiplanting orch- ards, fruit growers have reduc- ed the number of apple types grown, which has simplified bookkeeping and marketing. In 1939-40 there were no less than 214 types of apples groWn in Nova Scotia. Climate plays a role in the fruit-buying pattern of the Can- adian public. Fruit is imported from the southern U.S.A. to meet demand before the Can- adian product is ripe, the Let- ter says, but later in the season the U. S. A. becomes the major foreign customer for Canadian apples. The freezing of fruit greatly prolongs the marketing season for the domestic product, and in recent years there has been a great increase in the freezinýg of crops for later processing in the foi-m of jam or canncd fruit, the Letter says. Another technological development of recent years is the application o! science to the growing of blueber-ies, particularly in the Maritime Provinces. Ontario Milk Producers, Voice Strong Objectionsý At a special session o! the iOntario Milk Producers' Co-or- dinating Board in Toronto re- cently, mlk producer repres-1 entatives voiced strong opposi- tion to the Federal Governiment producer subsidy being grasped' by the processing side of the in- dustry. closely around the horn wbile the iron is heating to a tempera- ture o! from 900 to 1000 de- grees. The dehorner is similar to a high temperature soldering unit with the iron being round and hot at the end. After about 10 minutes the desired tempera- ture should be reached and the horning ring should be reddish in colon before use. *Place the hollow end o! the dehorning ring over the horn and rotate it slowly until the cap o! the horn can be slipped off. This takes about 10 seconds if you have a good bot1 iron. Then, by using the side o! the dehorner, burn the horn- producing celîs under the cap. If the electric dehorning job is done thorougbly, (at the right age), the cal! develops an attractive wide polI. This is the shape popular in beef cattle. though some dairymen prefer a imore prominent poil. Gougers or Barnes dehorners are best used when calves are less than three months old. The hors will still be develop- ing and won't be attached to the skull. The main advantage o! these instruments is that the age range is greater_ than for the caustic and. electric dehorning systems, and therefore more calves can be dehorned at one time. This is practical for large herds but not so with small numbers o! calves. The main thing to watch is to not let the sharp edge which gouges out the button gouge too deeply. A poorly skilled farmi- er might find a lot o! bis an- mals with rather narrow polîs. The elastrator can be used as a dehorner wben the calves are 2 montbs o! age or older. The elastic 15 placed around the base o! the horns and becau se the blond is cut off the horn a re a, the horn button wili eventually drop off and the bead will beal. The elastrator method isn't too well negarded because it often doesn't do a tborough job and might cause gain setbacks be- cause it's so slow. There's al- ways a risk of the elastic being broken. Also, it's hard to tell if the elastic is strong enough to cut off the circulation so that ail horn growth is âtopped. Mn. George Lowry of AI- monte, a member o! the Milk Co-ordinating Board said, "If the processors are successful in iwresting this subsidy from milk producers of this province, the 1end resuit will be that the Fed- eral Government will find it- self subsidizing the milk pro- cessing inýdustry rather than the producers for whom it. is in- tended. Also, it may very easily prevent any further govern- ment assistance to producers, should it be needed." MN-. Lowry made this state- ment following a unanimous de- cîsion of the Co-ordinating Board to forward the following resolution to and request the full support o! the Dairy Farm- ers of Canada, the Canadian Federation o! Agriculture, the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture, the Hon. Douglas S. Hark- ness, Canadian Minîster o! 1 Agriculture and the Agricul- tural Prîces Stabilization Board, Ottawa. The resolution as passed by the Milk Co-ordinating Board is as follows: WHEREAS, the processors o! powdered milk bave attempted to and bave succeeded in diverting milk into their plants from other than normal channels for manu- facture into powder which was under government support, knowing full well that by so doing they were creating sur- pluses that could become un- manageable, and, WHEREAS, following the ac- cumulation o! these surpluses, Hon. D. S. Harkness and the Federal Government decided to, change the Dairy Support Pol- icy to one whereby the Fed- eral Government would subsi- dize producens Vo the extent o! 25c per cwt. for milk to be made into manufactured milki products and cheese, and, WHEREAS, negotiations bave recently taken place between the processors and producers o! concentrated milk products with no agreement reached and as a resuit it is now in the bands o! an arbitration board, and, WHEREAS, in these arbitra- tion proceedings so far therel has been a determined effort ouni the part o! the processors and j manufacturers o! concentrated milk products to secure the 25c. subsidy iail classifications, in fact flot only the 25c. but an- other 15c. additionai. THEREFORE, be it resolved tbat we, the Milk Producers', Co-ordinating Board o! Ontario go on record as iending our 1l weight in opposition to the Fed- eral Government intenided pro- ducer subsidy being grasped by the processing side of the indus- try. Protect Those .Turnips Fields of turnips can be corn- pletely lost in a few hours, if the young plants are flot pro- tected from such insects as flea beeties, warns the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Mature turnip crops may be unmarketable ow- ing to turnip maggot injury or water core. The application of aidrin or heptachior, before planting or during the growing season, will answer the insect problem, and the application of borax will control water core. Thus, if the proper measures are taken, al such losses in turnips can be avoided, and a higher quality product will attract the consum- er.
