FLIPPIN PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, August 9, 1978 -- 25 Contributes knowledge to poultry production: A Scugog Island resident recently spent four weeks in the newly independent country of Papua New Guinea, a mountainous, trop- ical island located in the % South Seas just a couple of degrees off the equator. It is not exactly the most popular spot in the world for Canadian tourists, and Dr. John Price was not on vaca- tion. « He is working, putting his specialized knowledge to use in the preparation of feasibil- 4y study on a poultry pro- duction enterprise located near the town of Lea on the north shore of Papua New Guinea. His month-long study was arranged by Canadian Ex- ecutive Service Overseas, a Montreal based organization hich has connections with 'CIDA, the federal govern- ment's international devel- opment agency. Dr. Price volunteered his time and his knowledge to CESO, receiving only his travel and living expenses. A veterinarian, 'he has ex- pert knowledge of 'poultry breeding and exporting, and for many years was presi- dent and general manager of experience was a tascinating one. He was intrigued 'with the natural beauty of the tropical rain forests and the mountains, the primitive roads of the interior, and small airplane landing strips Peel's Poultry Farm Ltd., in ® Scugog Township. Talking about his early spring trip to New Guinea in a recent interview with the Star, Dr. Price said the literally clinging to the sides of mountains. But no, he said with a bit of a smile, "I didn't see any headhunters." With temperatures aver- aging more than 30 degrees UTT SHOW SATURDAY, AUGUST 12th 1:00 P.M.

Celsius and constant high humidity, putting in an eight- hour work day was arduous enough. And this tropical climate presents unique problems .to the poultry production industry. "The situation there is completely different from raising poul- try in Canada," he said. "The production effiency is less than in Canada." After a three week assess- ment of the specific poultry production facilities, Dr. Price concluded that it would be possible to increase broil- er production from 15,000 birds each week to about 80,000, through expansion. of the breeder farm and hatch- ery, and an enlargement of the slaughtering and packag- ing facilities. Dr. Price said he was well received in the country and never experienced any feel- ings of resentment or hostil- ity. Papua New Guinea just recently became fully inde- pendent, and the national government is consciously attempting to build industry owned and operated by New Guineans. Although the country has many native dialects, - the language in common use is Pidgen, a sort of combina- tion of German and English phonetics. Dr. Price is hopeful that the recommendations con- tained in his final report will be implemented, and he added "that without a doubt, the trip was the most interes- ting and educational of all my visits abroad." CESO has been in opera- tion for a little more than a decade, with more than 1700 projects in 70 different de- veloping nations. Many of the CESO volun- teers are retired business executives with expert know- ledge in specific areas. They usually serve on projects for terms months. Dr. Price said he has been on the list of CESO volun- teers for a couple of years, but his full-time job with a pharmaceutical company in longer than six Toronto didn't permit to get involved with a long term project. As it was, his spring trip to Papua New Guinea took up his holiday time for this year. But obviously it was more than worth it.

ROUNDUP® WILL CONTROL QUACKGRASS THISFALL, FOR A CLEAN START COME SPRING. Next spring, nothing will be more important than getting in and planting as early as possible. Un- fortunately, that doesn't leave much time for dealing with quackgrass. Unless you apply Roundup® herbicide b Monsanto thi after harvest. Simply allow the quackgrasstore- i grow undisturbed in the crop stubble until the majority of plants are actively growing inches high (3-4 leaf stage). But treat before the and at least first killing frost. Properly applied, Roundup will be absorbed and "translocated" down into s fall 'the network of rhizomes -- de- stroying the entire plant, above and below ground. ive days after treatment, you can resume fall Mon tillage operations. Since Roundup has no re- sidual soil activity, you can plant wheat, oats or barley next spring -- + without risk of crop in- jury. What's more, many farmers using Roundup as the key element in a quackgrass con- . trol program, J have been able to AF achieve manage- /#: able quackgrass control for as long as three years. ~ Don't think of treating quack- grass as one more chore in the fall. Think of itasone less chore in the spring. 2 See your dealer about Roundup. The herbicide that gets to the root of the problem. There's never been a herbicide like this before.
