sate for tions

It now begins to appear that the hay crop is even lighter than was suspected, we base reports from farmers

who have been’ harvesting the crop and find it to have even less bulk than was expected

The future, wet or dry can do little for the hay crop, however, an abundance of moisture will {mprove pastures which are showing early signs of wear and get around the necessity of ear- ly fall feeding. While the grain crop looks quite satisfactory up to this point if rain doesn’t soon come, that crop will also be short and light

CHEMICAL DANGER

Many of the compounds used to treat seed, to spray crops, and to fertilize the land are pol- sonous to livestock. For this

reason care is indicated in the}

use of these products and there is no room for careless practice

* {nthe use or storing of them.

Cattle are very often attracted

Lead is the killer in both cases and a form of poisoning that is quite difficult to treat. So bat- teries and paint cans should al! be suSpected where livestock are involved 2

INCOME IMPROVEMENT We have had recently brought to our attention a proposal de- signed to improve the income on farms and to promote the livestock industry at the same

time The essence of the idea is that farmers who would = qualify

would be provided with ten cows and in repayment would over a period of three years be requir- ed to return eighteen steers or heifers of approximately 800 pounds weight

For the man with no capital to invest he would have the dai- ry income from the animals for three vears and at the end of the period would also own the remaining cows. The ovroposal is an ifteresting one and is now the subject. of consideration by the Directors of the Federation of Agriculture

SALES TAX, TRUCK FEES Last week we mentioned

those two items and would

again refer to the removal of

*the.sales tax on farm wagons

and trailers as being welcome and appreciated. Farmers are advised that they will no longer be required on registering these vehicles to pay sales tax. There is, of course, also the question of refunds of tax collected un- der a ruling which to say the least was quite far fetched. The refund that truck fees should be reduced should not in any sense be considered a con- cession, rather the nature of the use the se trucks are put to make the application of the. full tax a.discrimination which is

- for schoo! taxes

gistration SCHOOL TAXES . At.a recent meeting of Feder- ation Directors it was obvious) standing exists with r@spect to the application of the dual rate Generally the understanding has been that the dua! rate is compulsory where mote than’ 50 per cent of the rate payers are non-farmers. It has been suggested that the rate - may be applied in other circum- stances, this is where some doubt exists. The other area of argument was the poll tax and whether there could be two poll tax rates, one for property own- ers and one for non-property owners. tion is being written to in both | connections and the informa- tion received will be passed on to our readers.

DAIRY PAYMENT

The attention of dairy produc- | ers is again drawn to the need of filling out claim forms for the supplementary dairy pay- ment. Producers who are al-

ceived these forms through the mail, those who have pot -re- ceived them should contact their dairy plant-and if a record | has not been kept of the milk | and cream shipped between May .1; 1964 and April 30, 1965, then that information should also be obtained from the dairy plant. The completed from should be returned before July 31st.

To give an idea of what is in- volved we can take as an ex- ample a producer who ships 120,000 pounds of milk in the period. On the first 48,000 at 25 cents per hundredweight he would receive $120.00, on the hext 48,000 at 20 cents per hun- dredweight he would receive

HAY PRIZES. Attention is directed to the

appearing

ing special classes for hay at this year’s exhibition. The prize | money offered is up to $100.00 for a first prize providing there are sufficient entries $600.00 is available and now is the time for the ambitious hay maker to start thinking of mak- ing some extra money out of this year’s short hay crop. FOR HERDSMAN

A feature of this year's live- stock fairs will be a class for herdsman with prizes of $150.00. down being offering. Half of the points will be for neatness and grooming and the other half is for his ability to give informa- tion on t show- The Minister of Educa- | ing. he -sagiunals ie

Generally the object of the new look in livestock exhibitions is to put the emphasis on utility gam rather than on good looks.
