AGRICULTURAL MARKETS The international markets for grains and oilseeds has been volatile due to short old crop supplies. Prices move sharply on weather scares or large market purchases. Crops in the U.S. are improving improving forcing future prices lower on corn and soybeans. Declining prices are expected to continue, providing no immediate opportunities for hedging or forward contracting. contracting. Locally some corn crops are suffering from drought stress • on lighter soils, but soybeans are growing well. The wheat crop harvest is underway with average yields expected. Many farmers are finishing second cut haying with excellent quality and adequate supplies of hay. The tobacco crop is developing developing well, better than other areas that have excessive rainfall. In livestock markets, dairy farmers have finished the marketing year on July 31, and now will not have quota problems in the immediate future. Prospects for higher hogs and beef prices are good. The uncertainty in the meat sector is the possibility of strikes in the meat processing plants. CLEAN GRAIN STORAGE STRUCTURES-A MUST At this time of year, many grain and feed storage structures structures are empty or nearly empty on farms. Before the wheat and other grain crops are harvested, the grain storages should be pre pared for the new crops coming in. Insects in farm- stored grain can cause a very significant loss in value. Although Although fumigation can be carried out to control these pests, once the grain is in the bin, it is a time-consuming and costly exercise. By making minor repairs and a thorough clean-out now, the problems of grain-stored insects can be prevented. Grain bins should be swept to remove leftover grain, and dust from walls, ceilings, and floors. Remove grain that has accumulated from corners, cracks, behind partitions, double walls and outside and under the bin. At the same time, clean all your grain handling equipment. All sweepings and cleanings from the bin should be burned or buried. Wooden bins can be prepared by making small repairs that will make them as weather, rodent and insect- proof as possible. Try to eliminate any cracks or crevices in the walls or foundation of bins. In establishing establishing grain storage facilities, facilities, they should be located away from other feed bins, feed processing and livestock housing. The moisture and heat from livestock can provide provide a year-round environment environment for grain insects. Following cleaning and repair to bins, a residual insecticide insecticide spray can be applied to the ceiling, walls and floor of wooden bins, or the base edge of steel bins. The residual spray, which should be applied two weeks prior to storage, will destroy insects which migrate into the bin. When it comes time to store grain in the bins, the grain should be free of broken kernels, grain dust and other materials that attract insects. Grain that is kept cool and dry will not attract insects. Grain should be inspected every two weeks, especially during warmer weather for signs of "hot spots", crusted areas on the surface and "off odours" from insect activity. Further information on grain storage insects may be obtained from Publication No. 229, "Insects in Farm Stored Grain", available from your local agricultural office. Letter to the Editor Kendal, Ont. July 27,1984 Letter to the Editor. 11 Impaired driving: What are you doing about it? This question question is being asked not only of the drinking driver, we must appeal to his or her friends, relatives, and co-workers, in fact everyone. Alcohol is involved involved in 50 percent of all fatal crashes in Canada. Mary Martin of T.V. fame writes: Four of us were in a taxi headed for a restaurant in San Francisco's China town when the crash occurred. It's the last thing I remember about that September day 19 months ago. When I came to in a hospital bed, my daughter Heller and my son Larry were looking down at me anxiously. I was trying to ask them "What happened? Where are my friends?" but I couldn't. The pain was too great. Only later did I learn that a van had smashed broadside into our cab and that my friend and close business associate Ben Washer had been killed instantly. Janet Gaynor, my dearest friend, caught the impact of both my body and Ben's and was smashed up inside and fighting fighting for her life. Her husband, Paul Gregory had a serious whiplash, broken ribs and a bruised kidney. The driver of the van was charged with running a red light, drunken driving and manslaughter. I had a pelvis broken in three places, a punctured lung, fractured ribs and pain from head to toe. (copied from "Guidepost" May, 1984). Six young people were killed near Orangeville when their car was hit by a train at a level crossing at night. All had been drinking, all were under age. The lone survivor a girl of 12 years. In "The Reporter" July 18 I read "Oldtimers Obtain Beer Tent Approval." Council in committee has approved plans for a beer tent at Harvey Jackson Memorial Park, Kendal during an oldtimers slow pitch tournament next month. The Millbrook Correctional Correctional Centre Oldtimers hockey club and Molson's Breweries are co-sponsoring the event to be held on August 18, Despite Mayor Garnet Rickard's objection that no Town organizations would benefit from the granting of a special occasion liquor permit, permit, council approved the request. Congratulations to Mayor Garnet Rickard. Our council should have the welfare of the Kendal young folk at heart but have they? How many of our young people will consider drinking O.K. because they see the Kendal parents drinking drinking beer in Harvey Jackson Memorial Park. Now Kendal Park was given to the community by the Jackson family in memory of their son Harvey who served for two long years in France and gave his life at Vimy Ridge in 1918. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." St. John verse 13. In his last letter home Harvey wrote, "Well Dad, I have neither smoked or drank yet." Do we appreciate this beautiful beautiful park? Are we willing to desecrate it with beer served to our young men and women? Hosea 8 v 7 Sow the wind reap the whirlwind.
