4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmnanville, Sept. 1, 1976 Section Two AriculIturafal 'newsV Pick-Your-Own Farms .Popular For the past number of years, Pick-Your-Own Farm operations have become more and more popular especially in areas around ùrban centres. Consumers can go directly to these farms and pick fresh, ~fruit and vegetables, under the supervision of staff, hired by the farm owners. This gives the consumer the op- portunity ta select the freshest and best quality fruit and 'vegetables that are available at the variaus farms. We do have a list of the variaus pick- your-own farms in the Whitby, ~Oshawa, Bowmanville, Lind- say and Port Hope areas and consumners who would like ta ~knowwhere these-farms are, can get in touch with the Agricultural Office, or contact the farms as we list them below. We do want ta point out that the farms we are listing ,,ere ones that sent infor- mation ta the Ontario Food Council, from which the over- all list for pick-your-own iarms for 1976 was assembled. ~There may be ather pick-yaur- own operations, who have flot publicized their farms or indicated ta, us that they are in this type of business. The following, then, are the listed farms with pick-your-own set- ups: Kazmar Vegetables and ?ruits, Pickering - Phone.: 683-7990; Green 'Brae Or- chards, No. 1, Ashburn - Phone 655-3217; Fred Eyman Farms, No. 3, Bowmanvîlle - Phone 725-8288; Ted Watson Farms, No. 2, Bowmanville - Phone 623-7252; R. and B: Orchard, Na. 1, Bowmanville - Phone- 623-8133; Lakeview Orchard, Bowmanville-Phone 623-5428; Fred's Fruit Market, No. 1, Orono - 983-5628; Browview Farm, No. 2, New- castle - Phone 987-4474; Or- chard Market Gardening, No. 1.

The- iability risk of causing personal injury to others continues in ail seasons - and this can be our greatest financial risk. We invite every individual, farmer and bus- inessman ta check with James Insurance Agency Limited for a realistjc level of iability protection. James Inuranllce Agenry, Limited DOUGLAS S. JAMES 24 KING ST. E., BOX 100 BOWMANVILLE, ON.--.., OFFICE 623-4406(t) going ta check on what fruit or vegetables are availabie at the farms. We do want ta point out that farms that listed only strawberries and raspberries are not included in this list,-as they have already passed their season for this year. Quaiity of the fruit and vegetable crops this year daes look quite good, despite the fact that we have had a rainy and poor growing year. Prices at the farms are very competi- tive ahl throughout the area, this aiong with the fact, that consumers do get the oppor- tunity ta get fresh vegetabies ready for freezing or canning or eating right fromr the table makes it a warthwhile venture ta take the whole famiiy toaa pick-your-own aperation. Oat Red Leaf and Barley Yellow Dwarf Viruses It appears that ail late pianted oat and barley fields have been infected by the above mentioned viruses. The incidence of the viruses in individual fields ranges from moderate ta 100 per cent. The prablem became so prevalent across Ontario this year because of an abundance of al species of aphids and the suspected presence of a strain of the virus that is very virulent. The question now arises as ta what about, winter wheat this fali? Grassy weeds, hay fields, pastures and grasses along roadways, fence rows, ditches, wooded areas and wasteland, serve as virus reservoirs from which fall, aphids can transmit the dis- ease ta wheat seedlings. General yeilowing and-or dwarfing ar no sym ptoms at ail will appear in the fali. Where no faîl symptams appear, an, infection can predispose the plants ta win- terkill and the disease could be severe the fallowing spring. Precautions that can be taken in 1976-'77 include: Pianting winter wheat late when iighter populations of aphids are present; plant spring grains early ta attain substantial grawth before the appearance of Ï-most aphid species. Early aphid appear- ance is the exception rather than the rule. Maintain high soul fertility ta produce vigar- ous plants, which can better tolerate the effects of the virus. Use of insecticides té contrai aphids in smail grains and grass crops wauid be a questionable practice. The plant from which an aphid gets its poison does not escape infection. However, a fast kiliing ins'ecticide wauld pre- vent the aphid from. moving ofita another plant. Aphids would tend ta arrive in steady numbers fram outside a treat- ed field and as such a community-wide spray pro- gram would likeiy be neces- sary ta be most effective. We are aiso getting a condition in corn acrass the county which appears ta be rust. Most corn varieties, that are iicensed by the Ontario, Hybrîd Corn Committee, are supposed ta be resistant to rust, However, this year, it does appear that certain strains of rust could possibly be showing up in corn fields. We have sampies sent away ta Guelph and we hope ta have an answer back an this question, however, it does appear that if rust is in the field, it is nat going ta cause any significant prablem incorn this year.

Course fees range from $3000 for an evening session course up ta $100.00 per couple for the ten evening sessions. We do have brochures available at the agricultural office, or they can be obtained thraugh Mr. Gary Hutchison, Program Coordinator for the Novice Farmer Program, University of Guelph, and these bulletins outline the complete courses ta be given in 1976-'77. The program has obtained a great deal of success in the past number of years and 50 we would urge new, part time or novice farmers, who are interested ta contact the Agricultural Office and obtain one of the brochures. Cattie Compensation Increased The compensation rate has been increased for purebred cattie ordered slaughtered in disease eradication ýprograms under Agriculture Canada Animal Contagiaus Diseases Regulations. Effective August 5,1976 the maximum compen- sation rate for purebred cattle was raised ta $600 from $450 for animnais affected wiith, Brucellosis, Tuberculosis or Johne's disease and ordered slaughtered by the Depart- ment of Health of Animais Branch. The maximum com- pensation rate for Grade cattle will remain at $200. It is hoped that the new rates will take into account the fact that parking plant buyers discount the price of'reactors because they have ta be handled separately in the yards and on the kîlling floor. The new level will help purebred producers cape with the loss of infected Business Director y Accou nta ncy WM. J. H. COGGINS CatrdAccountant Bowmanville -Phone 623-3612 WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm.

Hog Numnbers Moving Up As a goodf many park producers know, the last twa months bas seen an increase in the hog numbers across Canada. At July 1, 1976 total inventory stood at 5,504,000 head, up 4 per cent from a year earlier; a gain of 3 per cent was reported in the Canadian West with the east up 5 per cent. Farmers also reported intentions ta farrow 4 per cent more sows in the last haîf of 1976, compared toaa year earlier. t is obviaus producers are being very cautious in expan- sion plans as well they should be. Developments in grain prices will likely have a strong impact on producer intentions for the remainder of the year. With the passing of time, it is becoming increasingly appar- ent producers do not simply react ta hog market price levels, but ta the current and even potential returns from cash grain as contrastçd ta hog returns. Till early August, Canadian Hog Gradings were down 10 per cent fram a year ago. -Western gradings were off 20 per cent and the east The month ol July was another active month at the Canada Manpower Centres in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax. A total of 779 placements were made through the three offices, an increase of 71 placements over June place- ment figures,, and 206 place- ments above July of 1975. Once again the three Can- ada Manpower Centres for was down 4 per cent. How- ever, an indication of what is to come is pointed out in the fact that the U.S. hog slaughter has been up in recent weeks, and it appears runs ta date, although down 3 per cent from 1975 levels are on the increase. Office Hours Change The Agricultural Office in Bowmanville will be switching back to regular faîl and winter hours, effective September lst. From that date through tili the, end of May, 1977, the office hours for the agricul- tural office in Bowmanville will be from 8:30 la.m., ta 12 noon, and from 1:15 p.m.' tili 5:00 p.m. We urge farmers and any other people making the use of the services at the Agricultural Office, note these changes that will go into effect on September lst.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHTTO LIMIT GUANTITIES. Students experienced a very busy month as well. Included in the above 779 placements, are 347 regular student place- ments during July. In addi- tion, ta, the total figure of 779 placements, the student offices also had 121, casual placements as well. A place- ment is considered casual if the period of work involved is less than five days. Most of these jobs would be household- er jobs such as cutting grass, washing windows or other general home maintenance. Ar ea home owners and em- ployers are advised that many students are still seeking summer employment, regard- less of the length of employ- ment available. Duri ng the month of July, there were 34 agreements signed under the Canada Manpower Industrial Training Program. A total of 46 people will receive training and employment as a result of these agreements. At the end of July there were 68 people receiving academic upgrading at Durham Callege in preparation ta enter skill training 'courses. At present there are 85 people in, the skill training courses sponsored through the Canada Man- power Centre. Employment The numnber of clients reg- istered for empioyment at the three Canada Manpower Centres for July totalled 10,458 consisting of 4,736 maie and 5,722 female registrants.! In- cluded in this total are 1,212 male and 1,369 female stu- dents seeking summer em- ployment and 329 employed persans seeking other empioy- ment. The increase in total registrations from June figures is almost entirely accaunted for by the increase in student registrations fromn high school students wha finished school at the end of June. The majority of clients were registered in the fallowing occupations, clerical, sales and services, product fabri- cating, repairing and as- sembling occupations, con- struction trades and material handling. Skilled trade occupations continue ta offer the greatest employment opportunities. There are current shortages for sheet metal workers, welder fitters, motar vehicle mechanics with Class "A" licences, mould-makers, and machinists. There are also openings in service trade occupations for waitresses and waiters, barbers, baby- sitters, live-in housekeepers, lifeguards, hairdressers and security guards. OBITUAIRY MRS.
