SWINE FARM WORKER PROGRAM OFFERED -Ontario's first Swine Work- er Training Program wil begin on January 8th at the Centralia College ofi Agricul- tural Technology. The 15 week course is designed to fi the need for the workers in the Province's fastgrowing pork production industry. Swine operations are becoming larger and more specialized and farmers are finding they can no longer rely solely on family help for their opera- tions. Trainees will study ahl aspects of swine work includ- ing breeding, feeding and care of animais, equipment maintenance and other relat- ed subjects. The course includes five weeks of class- room instruction conducted by College Staff, local Pork Producers and Agri Business Representatives. Ten weeks of the programn is on farm training conducted by selected farmer trainers throughout Southwestern Ontario. Successful trainees will re- ceive a Certificate and will be assisted in finding employ- ment by the Canada Farm Labour Pool in their area. Interviews with prospective employers will be held at the end of the program. The programn is funded by the Canada Employment & Immigration Commission in co-operation with the Centra- lia College of Agricultural Technology. Trainees will re- ceive the usual Canada Man- power training allowance during the course. For more information about the course, contact the Cana- da Farm Labour Pool office Frederick C., Tippins, founder of Frederick's Pharmacy Limnited, and his famnily exfend sincere wishes for a Very Merry Christmnas and Happy New Year to ail their friends.

REDUCED CALVING INTERVALS IN YOUR DAIRY HERD -Ontario dairy producers who want to save money can start by reducing calving intervals in their herd. The average calving interval of Ontario dairy. herds is be- tween 13 and 14 months, which is 1 or 2 months longer than the normally recommended length of time. Reducing the calving interval in the dairy herd takes time - however, most of the problems of poorer reproductive performance can be traced to missed heat periods and low conception rates in your herd. In studies carried out by the University of Guelph and funded by the ministry of Agriculture & Food, it was shown that 25 per cent of the cows showed heat from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Another 43 per cent showed heat from midnight to 6:00 am. Research indicates that 2, to 4 checks each day wil improve heat detection from 60 per cent to almost 100 per cent. An early heat detection together with timely and double insemination if pos- sible, will improve conception rates. Checking the cows before going to bed,'first thing in the morning and again at moon will help producers catch cows in heat. Lt is recommended dairy producers use a 21 day calendar to record early heats. These calendars can also be used to aid in in pregnancy checking. Cal- endars are available from the Ontario Artificial Insemina- tion Units la Ontario. Another possible method of reducing the calving interval is to breed cows earlier after calving. Starting to breed cows 40 days after caiving instead of the usual 60 days has no detrimental effects and will reduce the numnber of îi days the cows are open by 15 to 20. Some cows will not cycle after calving. Keeping proper records wîll help producers detect these cases. These cows should be checked and treated by a veterinarian. Poor con- ception rates can sometimes be caused by psychologicalE problems that require veteri- nary attention. In many cases however, poor conception rates are caused by lack of energy or by an imbalance of minerais such as phosphorus, calcium and trace minerais. Combine ail of these factors together and they can have an adverse effect on:flot only the calving interval in your herd, but many otherý aspects of your dairy operation. Combin- ing them la the best possible way will help you earn more dollars from your dairy cattie.
