( TWINEDGE® DESIGN TALINER TRUCTION SYNCHROFLEX COILS new feed grains policy The federal government's new Feed Grains Policy becomes effective August 1, 1974. Whether you are a producer or user, the new policy is designed to meet your needs by: • providing a fair and equitable base price for feed grains across Canada; • encouraging growth of grain and livestock production according to natural potential; • maintaining order and stability throughout the grain and livestock sectors. MAIN FEATURES: • farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada; buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find the best price for their crops; • a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across the country; • the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and seller of feed grain for export market; • prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB or to others on the domestic market; • cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended to growers across the country to encourage feed grain production; • a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes; • steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in grain production. Ms. B. Halligan then conducted the business meeting beginning with the minutes and several "Thank You" notes read by secretary Mrs. G. Lacelle. There were 37 members and five visitors present. The Rollcall was "Name an Edible Wild Plant I Have Cooked." Miss Mary Tompkins will be our new Home Economist from the Department of Agriculture and Food, replacing Mrs. Karen Fitzsimmons. Mrs. R. Hylton, Mrs. G. Linton, Mrs. W. Ferguson , and Mrs. L. Davey, have recentlv completed a short and the USA. Mr. Berglund was a most interesting speaker who told many humorous anecdotes about the variety of meals nature can provide in the wilderness. Even our own area here there are some 200 edible plants and roots. Mr. Berglund gave a few of his recipes for using some of these plants. Mrs. G. Sherwin thanked the speaker for giving his valuable time to speak to the ladies. course in tailoring with the above mentioned department. Conveners of Standing Committees reporting were - Mrs. J. Benns. Mrs. A. Aird, Mrs. B. Davey, and Mrs. L. Davey. In recognition of her capable services as W.I. president for the past four years Mrs. G. Sherwin was Dresented with a gift by Mrs. G. Lacelle. Singing, with Mrs. M. Noble at the piano, a contest arranged by Miss G. Gidding, and lunch served by Mrs. S. Nelson and her group brought a very interesting meeting to a close. The July meeting will take the form of a picnic dinner on July 4 at 1 p.m. in Ball's Mill Park. Over 90 4-H members irom all parts of Ont. are currently participating in the Provincial 4-H Leadership Conference, being held at the University of Guelph. Karen Davidson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Davidson, of RR 4 Cobourg, is representing Northumberland county at this six-day conference. Karen is a member of the West Northumberland 4-H Calf Club and, as a youth leader, she is assisting club leaders in planning and carrying out various club activities. The objective of 4-H is the personal development of young people. This conference is particularly designed to help delegates develop their leadership potential through par- ticipation in leadership seminars, social recreation and program planning workshops. It is a week of learning, fun and fellowship, through many rewarding experiences. Delegates to the conference will be expected to put these acquired skills into practice on return to their own communities. Cobourg priest speaks to 3,000 delegates A six day convention in Toronto brought together more than 3,000 delegates to the Royal York Hotel for the 98th meeting of the American Association on Mental Deficiency. Coming from Canada, Australia, Mexico and the United States the delegates dealt with topics related to mental retardation. Rev. Jean-Marc Mireault, of St. Michael's Church, Cobourg, presented a paper, "Community Liaison Project," to the group. "The difficult paradox teachers find themselves in, is that the more they try to take from another's freedom, the more they diminish what they're Machinery delay for farmers To many farmers in Ontario, increasing the size of the farm usually means there is a need to switch to bigger machinery in order to be efficient. "The delays in receiving larger horsepower tractors from manufacturers has led some farmers to increase the horsepower in their present tractors," says H. E. Wright, secretary-manager of the Farm Machinery Board. While there are several ways to get more power out of your workhorse, farmers should proceed with caution. For example, gettimg more fuel to the engine can be done by adjusting the fuel pump on a diesel tractor. This increases fuel delivery by about 25 per cent. "However, the price of this extra power may be as much as a 40 per cent increase in fuel consumption," warns Mr. Wright. Other problems, including excessive smoke, crankcase dilution, overheating and cylinder damage, may also result. If your tractor has been designed for it, a turbo-charger may be added to boost horsepower by 50 per cent. However, farmers should never use a turbo-charger on an engine not designed for such options, as it can seriously affect performance. Re-engineering the cylinder head is also a horsepower-boosting technique. By planning the head to increase the cylinder bore of a diesel engine, horsepower will be increased. Before you start boosting your tractor's power, remember that all of these conversions can create problems with cooling, lubrication and operation of the valves and pistons. Because of the greater horsepower output, additional stress is also created on the entire power train of a tractor not designed for it. So additional power may be achieved at the expense of fuel wastage and possible, if not probable, mechanical failures. trying to increase," Father Mireault said. "We must place ourselves in the shoes of the retardate, before we can comprehend what retardation is and the difference between retardation and mental illness." Father Mireault was honored by the A.A.M.D. as a chaplain-supervisor in mental retardation and elected to represent Canada on its certification committee. The A.A.M.D. passed a resolution against involuntary sterilization and genocide for retardates at birth and Father Mireault signing for Canada said laws should never be enacted permitting such infringements of human rights. sir sandford fleming college _IED ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY Durham & Si r Sandford Fleming Colleges Continuing Education at Cobourg Campus of S.S.F.C.
