4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 25, 1976 AgrclurlNw Apple Support Program A program to stabilize producer returns for the 1975 Canadian Apple Crop was announced by Agriculture Canada on August the 9th. Apple growers went through a difficult period in 1975, facing much higher production costs, and at the same time, having average returns around the same level as those of 1970. There were also pressures from imports of fresh and processed apples. For these reasons, the 1975 crop has been designated for assistance under the Agricultural Stabi- lization Act. Growers will receive 2.1 cents per pound for fresh and peeler sales of their 1975 crop and 0.9 cents per pound for apples sold for juice and other products. The support price for fresh and peeler apples was calculated at 8.6 cents per pound. The averagecmarket price received by producers on sales from the 1975 crop was 6.5 cents per pound. The support payment, therefore, is the difference between these two prices. On apples sold for juice and other products, the payment is the difference between a support price of 2.9 cents per pound and the average market return of 2 cents per pound. The Apple Support prices are based on 90 per cent of the 5 year average market price, adjusted upwards to reflect increased cash production costs in 1975 over the average of the previous 5 years. This increased cash production costs represents 1.5 cents per pound in the 1975 support price. Apple growers may claim payments on their sales from 1975 production between 25,000 and 750,000 pounds. Approximately 7,000 apple growers across Canada will receive support payments on a about 830,000,000 pounds of apples. The primary commer- cial apple producing pro- vinces are: British Columbia, "WHO'S GOT THE CAME RA!" Left in a rest room - or restaurant?

Producers in all provinces, except B.C. can obtain indivi- dual applications from Agri- cultural Canada Fruit & Vegetabhle Division and Field Offices. Proof of sale is necessary to collect pay- ments. The office for the Fruit & Vegetable Division in this area is located in the New Federal Building in Bowman- ville. Energy Savers For Farrowing Operations To most pork producers, saving energy in their farrow- ing operations is extremely important. The energy saving techniques with regard to both renewable and non-renewable energy will depend upon the degree of mechanization on the farm. Mechanization tends to increase the amount nf fossil fuel consumed, but reduces the amount of manual labour required. One of the most effective ways to reduce the heating bill is to use localized, creep heat, rather than try to maintain total building temperature control. New born piglets require temperatures around 32 de- grees C, while sows are more comfortable at 13 degrees C. Lt is recommended, therefore that producers keep the barn at 13 degrees C. and using supplemental spot heat to provide the higher tempera- ture required by the piglets. If the barn is well insulated, part of the temperature balance can be provided by animal heat. Improper control of the ventilation and heating sys- tem can result in heat being wasted through excess venti- lation, however, this problem can be overcome with an interlocking ventilation, heat- ing controls system. Several fans with thermostat controls can be set to give stepped rates of ventilation, which approximately fits the ideal ventilation curves. The higher the ventilation value of the building, the lesser the degree of heat loss through the floor walls and ceiling. It also makes it easier for the animals to maintain a de- sirable temperature. Access doors to the swine facilities should open from the feed room as opposed to the outside, to prevent cold drafts when the doors are opened. Energy saving techniques with regard to labour, will depend largely on thý degree of mechanization of the opera- tion. Handling manure is the most time consuming chore, however, the use of farrowing crates will help reduce the time spept cleaning up a farrowing area. If slatted or partially slatted floors are used, cleaning the pens can be eliminated almost completely. Many farmers are turning to liquid manure systems, in- stead of straw bedding in aneffort to cut down on labour. While it costs more, the amount of time saved in labour makes it a worthwhile investment. Feed handling is another area which is labour intensive, there are feed conveyors on the market now, which at the puch of a button, move feed from the storage area to the sow. If feed is to be moved by hand, central feed storages and short alleys will help reduce feeding times.

There will also be sales later on in October and we will keep feedlot operators informed about these as the dates approach. Cleanup Time for Raspberries Many homeowners are pleased with this year's rasp- berry crop. Pruning now is the key to a good, if not better, crop next year. Raspberry canes die after fruiting, so when the harvesting is com- pleted, these should be eut- back. Gardeners are advised to eut the old canes that bore fruit this year as close to the ground as possible. Once the canes have been cut, remove them and either burn or throw them away. Keep them away from the raspberry patch, however, to prevent disease spreading to the healthy plants. It is necessary for raspberry plants to harden, if they are to protect themselves against winter injury. Make sure the rows are kept weed free, and that insects are controlled through the use of recommended pesticides.

"We just write the ads and let the production house work out the details." In this case TDF Film Productions Limited, which did the filming, came through because of the gardening interest of its director of photography, Fritz Spiess. When he couldn't locate suita- ble leaves in Canada, he thought of phoning expatriate Canadians who'd retired to Florida, possibly with back- yard maple trees still in leaf. But then he attended Toron- to's annual Home and Garden Show, where he saw leaves and flowers preserved bril- liantly in their natural state. The display was made possible because of a pre- servative process developed by Queen's University Biology Department chief technician and researcher J. D. "Jack" Webb, who was born in the Peterborough area. Consider- ed a major breakthrough in the field of, tissue preserva- tion, the new process, using an alcohol-based solution, retains the original appearance, color and texture of plants and leaves. "The chemicals draw out the liquids, even the nutrients, EA 39e in the plants, leaving them moisture-free after about one to two hours. We then spray each flower - - but not leaves - - with a coating to prevent moisture from re-entering. Leaves are stored in a cold room where they re-absorb moisture and become pliant," Mr. Webb explained. He is currently adapting the for- mula used for outdoor plants to accommodate the slightly different growth patterns of greenhouse plants. Queen's University, which holds the patents and Which will receive the royalties, has already licensed one Toronto manufacturer to produce the process materials for use in the educational field - - to prepare specimens for use in school and university botany and biology classes, museum displays, and herbarium col- lections. "This means that students in schools and universities all over North America will soon have real-life -examples to study and use, instead of having to rely on text-book illustrations; and museums will have exhibits with more true-to-life collections," said the 52-year-old Webb, who is also a professional photo- grapher, osteologist, taxi- dermist and curator of the university's wildlife museum.

Barrie, died on Friday, August 6th, 1976, in Memorial Hospital, Bowman- ville, following a six month illness. He was in his 88th year. Born in Darlington Town- ship, he was the son of the late William and Mary Grace (Bragg) Barrie. He was married February 9th, 1910 to Ellen (Nellie) Honey. He had resided on Lot 2, Concession 2, Darlington, since 1917, where he was self-employed on his farm, retiring eight years ago. florists, production of a Cana- dian-manufactured "kit" for home use will soon make possible the preservation of prize specimens. And, for the worldwide artificial flower industry, the preservative will make pos. sible a considerable improve- ment over the dried-flower and plastic reproductions cur- rently on the market. Queen's University is already negotiat- ing with companies in Europe (Italy is the world's leading producer of plastic flowers and plants), Canada, the U.S., and Japan regarding com- mercial manufacturing rights. A member of Trinity United Church he is survived by his wife Nellie, son Gordon, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr. Barrie rested at the Morris Funeral Chapel with the funeral service conducted on Monday by Reverend Arthur Amacher. Pallbearers were Tom, Stephen, Ken, and Keith Barrie, Ross Lane and Clar- ence Sim. Intérment Bowmanville Cemetery.
