Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 17, 1975 7 Federation Directors Learn Farm Vacation Plan Details Members of the Durham Region Federation of Agricul- ttre at a Directors' meeting held in Columbus heard de- tails of the Farm Vacation Programme initiated by the Ont ario Federation of Agricul- ture in iumi. mr ýan oruwn -p4 the Properties De part- ,ent of the Ontario Federa- lion of Agriculture outlined the need for this programme as at the present time there are no host families in this area. Visitors from urban centres and from all walks of life spend time living with the host family. Most of the visiting takes place during the sum- mer months, but some host families are offering facilities on a yearly basis. Host families are expected to provide adequate facilities for their guests. Occasionally health authorities will visit the premises. Thirty thousand brochures are distributed each year giving details of the host families' facilities. The mini- mum cost is $95.00 per person per week. Further information may be obtained by contacting the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture at 387.Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario., Arthur Catton, Port Perry, showed those present the display that the Federation would have at the Internation- al Plowing Match. This booth will have representatives from the Durham Region Federation in attendance daily. Directors agreed that, if possible, an all-candidates meeting to dîscuss agriculture policy should be held. It will be held in the northern area of the region. William Collins, Whitby, Vice-chairman of the Ontario Commodity Council, stated that there was a great need for farmers to defend marketing boards. Pressure groups are attempting to discredit boards. Ontario has some of the best farm marketing legislation in the world, and we must keept it; said Mr. Collins.

MAINE-ANJOU CATTLE SALE Your Central Ontario Maine-Anjou Association is qàlling 50 - 12's and ¾'s Open and Bred 7 p.m. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1975 MARKHAM FAIRGROUNDS, CATTLE BUILDING Further Information - Dun Murray Farm R.R. 2, Blackstock - 986-4351 Percentage & Fullblood Maine-Anjou Cattle Visitors Welcome Once again this year, the Durham 4-H Rabbit Club held their Achievement Day in conjunction with the 10th Annual Central Ontario Rab- bit Breeder's Show, with the members doing an outstand- ing job in the various classes. In the first year member competition, the winner was Janet Weir, while in the second year competition, Den- nis Simpson was the winner. Top Senior in the 4-H Rabbit Club was Rita Huggins of Port Perry. Once again this year, the various 4-H Clubs in the country did have a club exhibit representing each of their clubs, and again, mem- bers did an outstanding job in putting these exhibits to- gether. First prize exhibit went to the Durham 4-H Sheep Club, while second was taken by the 4-H Landscaping Club while the third by the Durham 4-H Management Club. The 4-H'Sheep Club had two additional competitions aside from the Achievement pro- jects at Blackstock Fair. In the open fleece class, Char- lene Hall of Newtonville took top honors and John Ayre was the runner up. As well, each 4-H Sheep Club member competed in a wether lamb show and sale. The show took place Friday afternoon with John Ayre as the winner and Neil Taylor runner up. In the evening, the wether lambs were sold at public auction, with prices ranging from .75 to $1.02 per pound. Overall, this proved to be an interesting competition for the competi- tors and is robably some- thing that will be continued next year. Once again, we would like to thank the directors and all involved in the fair for their help in carrying out a suc- cessful 4-H Achievement Pro- gram this year. Special thanks goes to the Official Judges of al Classes in our 4-H Competi- tion, who, without their help, we would not be able te put on a successful show. Silo Gases Pose Definite threat Potentially lethal silo gases could be a serious problem this year. It is pointed out that weather conditions this sum- mer in some parts of Ontario - prolonged droughty periods followed by heavy rains - seem to encourage the creation of silo gases. Silo gases are produced in the first five days after ensiling and are a by-product of the fermenta- tion process. The culprits - nitrous oxîde and nitric oxide - are colorless, odorless and heavier than air, and there- fore tend to sink to the bottom of the silo. If these gases are inhaled, they will cause res- piratory difficulties, cough- ng, sneezing, and then paraly- sis, followed eventually by death. Farmers are advised to consult a physician im- mediately if they have come in contact with the gas, even if there are no apparent side effects. If the silo has just recently been filled, don't go in alone. Have a friend standing by in case something goes wrong. The safest method is to go in with an oxygen pack. It is pointed out that a large number of farmers will run the blower fan in order to dissipate the gases, however, this may do no more than agitate the gases, still leave them in the silo. Gases can be eliminated from the silo if the doors are removed and the fan turned on for about half an hour. Remember, silo gases are dangerous and are not to be fooled around with, but the best method of preventing problems is to stay out of the silo for the first few days until the gases have had a chance to dissipate. Winter Wheat Crop Insurance Ontario Winter Wheat grow- ers may now ensure their 1975 - '76 wheat crop against winterkill at up to $25 an acre. This increased indemnity re- flects the higher cost of seed and fertilizer that the farmer faces in putting in a crop. Under the Crop Insurance Plan for Winter Wheat, a farmer may choose the price option per bushel to provide the level of coverage he desires. If he chooses the price option of $2.25 per bushel with a reseeding benefit of $20 per acre, his premium will be $3.30 per acre. The winterkill receding benefit is tied to the price option per bushel cho- sen. A farmer can receive this benefit if more than three acres of wheat have to be reworked and reseeded in the following s ring. In addition to the reseeding benefit, crop insurance provides a farmer with a production guarantee on his wheat crop.

LARGE INCREASE AT BLACK AND WHITE SHOW IN NORTHUMBERLAND Some new exhibitors and the return of several breeders f0 competition boosted the num- bers at the Black and White show held bv Northumberland County Holstein breeders at Campbellford Fair on August 8th. Judge Maurice Jebson, Beaverton, placed the classes before approximately 300 spectators as the 22 exhibitors brought out 131 head. This compares with 14 exhibitors and 76 head in 1974. Rivalry was very close as Honeydell Stock Farm, Warkworth, nosed out Almerson Farms, Campbellford by one point for the Premier Breeder award. Almerson was Premier Ex- hibitor with Wm. Moore, Cobourg. second. Carl Petherick, Campbell- ford, had the winning yearling bull with his 1974 Reserve AlI-Canadian bull calf Carlen- crest Ned Dominion and took the male Championship. The tall, stretchy, well grown son of Agro Acres Marquis Ned was Champion at the 1975 Ontario Holstein Spring Show at Stratford. Reserve Champ- ion was the winning bull calf Ingholm Astronaut Amos. a clean cut, dairy individual sired by Ingholm Citation Amds and shown by Arthur C. Nelson, Campbellford. Almerson Farm showed the top aged cow, Almerson Marquis, Echo "Excellent" who took ber third Grand Championship with th firm rear attachment and good placement of her superior udder, and added the Best Udder award. Her sire was Romandale Reflection Marquis. Arthur Nelson's 1974 Junior Champion heifer, Nelcam Rockman Sally was named Reserve Champion as first prize two-year-old. Well grown for her a ge, she carried a more firm udder than that of Honorable Mention four- year-old Trevertona Fond June shown by Hoskin Bros., Cobourg. Sally was sired by Seiling Rockman and June by Trevertona Rockman Buijr. Two daughters of Agro Acres Marquis Ned took Junior and Reserve female honours and typed in well. junior yearling Almerson Maud was Champion for Almerson Farms while Nelcroft Reflection-Red was Reserve for Earle Nelson, Campbellford. In the three junior female classes sponsored by the County Club there were 49 entries, many of these shown by 4-H members. Almerson won the Breeder's Herd class and Wm Moore, Cobourg, the rpgeny of dam and, junior efer calf classes. Eric But- tar, Gore's Landing showed the top senior calf and Honeydell the first 3 and 4-year-olds. Sixteen-year-oîd Louise Francisof aUntario Street, Bowmanville and her horse "Sarah Munday" won the Colonial Stables Equestrian Centre Trophy on Sept. 7 for top overail performance of horseoandrider.The combina- lion of Louise and her horse won four classes to take the trophy over 50 other entrants competing in the horse show. Runner-up in total points was Julie Neate of Orono, riding "Kelly Roy". The show, which included equitation, pleasure and jumping events, started at 10 o'clock Sunday morning and continued ftill 8 p.m. before the 10 classes were completed and overall point totals could be determined. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Ashton, owners of the stables, wish to express special appreciation to the St. John's Ambulance crew who were on hand all day to look after possible injuries to riders. One minor casuality occurred when a rider suffer- ed a mild concussion after a fall; he was taken to hospital by the crew. The following are the com- plete results of the ten events in the show.

The text of the agreement has been completed by the Municipal Planning Consult- ants Company, however some committee members felt that, although basically willing to accept the text, it is difficul t to comprehend without the 19 schedules accompanying il. A representative of thé firm advised that all the schedules, except that ertaining to Engineering Standards for Subdivisions, will hopefully be ready for presentation to the committee within the next two weeks. Vice Chairman of the com- mittee Doug Moffatt advised that the text basically "sets out the rules of the bal game before the game starts." Due to the de gree of complicated material includ- ed in the agreement, Council- lor Ann Cowman, noting insufficient time to consider it fully, requested she be reliev- ed of votng on it. Councillor Cowman re- minded that it had been a committee decision at their last meeting to have the agendas available to commit- tee members no later than the Wednesday prior to each meeting. She reported that she had not received her copy until Thursday, was tied up Friday on Regional business and over the weekend on other matters and council commit- tees all day Monday. Planning Director George Howden's report on the matter advises that "in order to accommodate all types of subdivisions, a standard text bas been adopted and alterna- tive schedules are being Classes in the subjects listed below, 'NEW COURSES' *Canvass Embroidery *Craft Variety *Dress Pattern Making Flower Arranging *Hand Embroidery * Handyman Mechanics *Metric System *Off-Loom Weaving Quilting *Small Appliance Repairs *Women's Self-Defense 'ALWAYS POPULAR' *Antique Collecting * Cake Decorating *Creative Stitchery Creative Welding *Gardening Sewing-Basic Sewing-Advanced riding Dolly, Molly Rundle riding Willowbrook Crusader, Karen Boersma riding Trixie, Dianne Hamer riding Daisy.

Mr. Howden reported fur- ther that the "texC' has been discussed in a joint meeting with the Works Department, Bowmanville PUC, Ontario Hydro and ce-tain revisions have been made as a result. Mr. G. Crawford of the Regional Works Department, unable to attend the meeting, granted his approval of the document in a ?etter ofJulv29. Mr. Howden indicates that rather than taking on the monumental task of explain- ing each clause of the agree- ment, it was his suggestion that committee members read the draft and raise any questions they mighf have at the meeting. In regard to their concern that the schedules not being included left them somewhat in the dark, Mr. Howden advised the committee that the schedules are not likely to have any great effect on the content of the text. As a result and with little question of its contents, the committee adopted the text as prepared and will consider the schedules separately when they are completed.
