'■ WJNTvTAN REPOrtf - : —~:-r~.- Inadequate response to Veterans' needs On March 25, 1975 the Minister tf Veterans' Affairs, the Hon. Daniel MacDonald introduced his long awaited program tf homing assistance to veterans. This program is Intended to at least partially replace the benefits lost to veterans when the Veterans' Land Act expired on March 31,1975, Mr. MacDonald's program consists of two forms of special assistance to low or modest income veterans within the context of the provisions tf the National Housing Act. Assistance will be avaUable for rental housing, and for home ownersMp. To rid Veterans ta buying a home, the new program will provide a subsidy of up to $600. annually, in addition to the assistance already availableund- er the Assisted Home OwnersMp Plan, for the purpose tf reducing payments of principal, interest and taxes. TMs subsidy wttt be available to veterans as defined in the Veterans Land Act who would normally be eligible for AHOP assistance. In addition, the child dependency requirements wttl not apply to veterans, and the subsidy will be avaUable to purchasers tf existing as well as newly built homes. To help provide adequate low emt rental accommodation, the second provision of the new program witt provide an additional capital grant tf 10 per cent to non - profit organizations which build low rental projects '•primarily but not necessarily exclusively for the homing of veterans". TMs is in addition to the $10,000. ta start - up funds and the 10 per cent tf capital costs grant already avaUable to non -profit organizations under Section 15.1 tf jthe National' Homing Act, hi introducing tids new program, wMch consists entirely of two relatively minor revisions to the NHA, Mr. Mac- Donald admitted that "it does not touch on all the needs and circumstances that veterans may have with regard to housing. Mr. William Knowles, replying to Mr, MacDonald on behalf of the Progressive Conservative Party agreed, and stated; ''TMs is exactly the fault we find with it; it certainly does not touch on all the needs, and tids is again why I say that special legislation shorid have been introduced. In defeating our previous motions to have the Veterans Land Act extended past March 31, 1975, the government promised new legislation to replace tiie VLA, with m Act rimed speci fically at the homing problems of veterans. What they have finally Introduced however, is nothing more than an embelllsh- ment and enlargement of the National Housing Art, really nothing that Is pointed directly at the Veterans. Indeed, the new program wiU not even be administered by the Departmsnt tf Veterans Affairs, but rather by the Hon. Barney Danson and Ms Department of Housing and Urbm Affairs.' Considering Mr. Damon's demonstrable InabiUty to help other Canadians with their homing problems, tMs arrangement Is a completely inadequate response to the special needs of the Veterans. >.' ' ta concluding Ms remarks, Mr. Knowles stated that "special homing legislation should have bmn introduced designed solely for the benefit tf veterans and directed toward those people who have given their all in defence of our country in times tf great danger and need." That Is indeed what should have been done, and it is now up to the Liberal Government to explain to Canada's Veterans why it wm mt done.

The tee should instead have been in the area.of $40, the report fruther stated. "ft Is suggested that before (arena) user groups enter into agreements, evidence tf abttlty to ptv is produced." Preston and aMermen agreed tint tf ringette players could: not pay $40 a head per season, then, perhaps, it was better they stopped playing at tiie arenas altogether and Instead play tiieir game somewhere out "in the sticks".

There tte column produced an unusual reaction became a few days later, Mr. Tom Barrow appeared rt the newspaper office to say, "I have a Bflde that ta eight years older," Sure enough, when the Star and Times reporter investigated, there wm a BiMe, dated 1619 in tiie OM Testament and 1620 ta tte New Testament. Mr. Farrow, a resident tf the McVey district tf Manitoba comes from a Quaker background. The Bible wm sent to Mm during the Second World War because it wm part tf a collection and it was thought that the whole collection might perish in a direct bomb Mast, At one point ta the Bttue's existence it wm stained with sea water.. It had bem through a shipwreck and the sole survivor wro found carrying just one possession tte Bible. The Manitoba BIMe hm men appraised too. Priceless. Now you may not have an old BiMe worth a fortune ta the attic. But you could stitt find treasure here ta this column because from time to time we talk tf Jesus Christ.

A phenominal amount tf drunken drivers continue to be and more so a threat to society. TMs problem Is very difficult to curb. Criminal law is famed on God's ten commandments. It is a sad state tf affairs when people are ignorant of the law. The sergeant stated that, "ignorance of the law is no excuse," He also intttca many tf tte law makers in tte legislature are unaware ofthe standards as related to law. Law is restraining, but aim liberating. The law also states what one may do, he said. Many tf the breaches ofthe taw, Uke rape, are rover reported because of fear tf having to testify. Often the victim hm to go through additiond agony so that justice may be dom. Allen strongly emphasized that the victim of crime needs much more consideration and protection in tiie courts. Also the efficiency of the courts needs to be updated. ThehomelstheptecetawMch hutch can be dom for the good tf society and the prevention of crime. Too many parents take tte upbringing tf chUdren too lightly. The sergeant catted the home tf toady "the change . room," and that Is a bad commentary on the condition of the home. The police need the backing tf the people and they are urged to treat one -another humanely, equally and fair. ■ Although the amount tf crime Is imreming, also ta Langley, our municipality Is still below the national average, Allen said. This is encouraging, but: weare all responsible to make Langley an even better place to live. The dis<*ussion periodbrough up some interesting questions. The ministers assured the sergeant tf their support and offered assistance whenever tte need arises.

WEDNESDAY. .APRIL 9,1975 II "m By BRYAN TASTAD . Get ready Canada, here comes the cashless society. Soon, we'll be able to go through our daily routine week after week, month after month, without taking cash from our pocket or writing a single cheque. Our pay cheques will be automa- .. tically deposited in'our accounts,, regular bills will be paid automatically and if we ever have to pay for anything on the spot it will be with a credit/payment card. The cashier will be able to use the card to automatically withdraw the amount of the purchase from out- accounts. The computer technology required for these services already has been developed. In fact all of these schemes are in practice in some regions of the country. And the federal government has committed itself to setting up similar systems right across the land. The reason for the changeover is the need to reduce the flow of paper—cash and cheques—between banks, other financial institutions and commercial outlets. Astronomical numbers of cheques are handled each year and the flow is clogging the1 channels used to move. them. Once a cheque is written it becomes involved in the complicated clearing process which eventually sees it returned to the bank from which it was drawn. In the process the cheque, is handled about 14 times at a cost of up to 18 cents. The process is automated to some extent by systems developed independently by the chartered banks, Other financial institutions such as credit unions and trust companies which have cheques to clear, must buy this service from one of the banks. The federal government's policy is to help fosters "common user communications network" which will be available to all financial institutions. At first its main function will be to help smooth the cheque-clearing process but it will eventually be used for all other aspects of the cashless society.: The government sees an urgent need to develop the new policy. Equipment already in use in banks will affect the types of services available for many years and advances are being made every day. If a unified system is not implemented In the near future it may be impossible to put into practice later. ..'' The present system cannot be changed until the Bank Act is revised. The government has formed a committee that will accept reports, presenting the views of all organizations that will be involved in any new scheme. The committee is expected to be in a position to revise the Bank Act by mid-1977. Until that time chartered banks have been told not to expand their data processing services beyond certain limits which in most cases have already-been met. Understandably, the banks are unhappy about the development of a common user system—they would no longer be able to sell services to other financial institutions and some of their inner policies would become open to scrutiny by competitors. However to be effective at all, computers from different organizations must be able to talk to each other/Although this is possible with the .banks working independently, the government feels the common user system would be most efficient. The banks aire not thrilled about the idea of a common user network, yet they are all for a cashless society. So are other financial institutions,' Commercial outlets and telecommunications operations. Probably the only Segment of society wary, about the prospect is the consumer. M. K. Nunas, of the Communications Canada office in Saskatoon, said, "There would be no technological problems in setting up the system. Of course it would be very large but it's basically quite simple. Still I think it will be a long time in coming because of socio-economic problems.":: Some of the problems were outlined in a release which stated government's objectives for the future. It says an electronic payments system will .make it increasingly difficult for consumers to fight back. It could become harder, for instance, for a consumer to switch his account from one deposit-taking institution, credit grantor,, or retailer to another. Practices such as returning an item for a refund will become inconvenient. Invasion of privacy could become an issue because .many segments of society would have the ability, to run checks on the status of a customer's account- Legal problems might also arise. The release said, "Current paper- based payments instrument law (Bills of Exchange Act) is an inadequate framework for determining such things as when payment has been legally made. Furthermore, operating procedures of a more electronic payments system must provide a form of auditing' for financial control and evidence in case of litigation which are at least as useful as those in tile current paper-based system." Mr. Nunas felt a major problem would be the possibility of something going wrong—a monkey wrench thrown into the operation. "In programs. Uke this, if somebody wants to jimmy the system he can usually find a way. And if he does mess things up it might never get straightened out" However, a technocrat himself, Mr. Nunas believes firmly in the possibilities of an electronic payments scheme. "In the long run this type of system may turn out to be cheaper. Once it's set up We may ruti into the interesting situation of having to pay moire when using cash—the opposite of what's happening now." Norman Bromberger, general manager of the Saskatchewan Cooperative Credit Society, agreed that the cost of processing paper is a good reason for developing a cashless society.. . "It the volume of cheques keep rising at the rate it has been the costs of processing them will be- conje enormous. We'll either have to make large increases in staff or allow the cheque-clearing process to become sadly inefficient." An electronic payments System will bring many advantages to the consumer. Besides direct, deposit of paycheques, pre-authorized bill payments and direct payment at stores there will be such things as remote automatic cash dispensers. These will be scattered throughout a community and will automatically dispense cash to anybody that, puts in the right card and gives the machine the right information. The computer also will contact the card-holder's bank or credit union and automatically deduct the amount from his ac- , count This and other innovations will make life easier for the consumer in many ways ... at least until something . goes wrong. U - that happens the consumer almost certainly will need a complete accounting system of Ms own if he's going to succeed in telling the computer where it erred.

For convenience, the garden should be near the house. It should be ta a sunny location, free from shade, and tree roots should mt penetrate the arm..Vegetables cannot compete with shade trees for food and moisture. THE SOIL Deep sandy loam- containing sand, clay and organic matter ta a reasonable balance is the best. Gravelly loam md clay lmm are also good. The greater the depth of the surface soil or top layer, the better the crops. Sandy loam mid gravelly loam are easy to work md are classed as "early" soils because they warm up quickly in the spring. However, they lose moisture badly during dry weather. Clay loam is more difficult to work md must be handled carefully. Digging or plowing tids type of soil when it is wet or very dry causes lumpiness md that makes the preparation of a fine seed bed difficult. SOU fUled with tree roots is undesirable as these roots compete with vegetable crops for plant food and moisture. SOIL FERTILITY MANURES A good many home gardens are located on soil that is far from ideal, and the use of manure or compost becomes almost essential. If it cm be obtained, well-rotted manure is an excellent soU conditioner. In addition to supplyingplantfood, it improves the structure of the soU. It makes sandy soils more ' suitable for plants, because the vegetable matter holds the moisture more uniformly. Manure or compost material open up clay soils so that dr and water may penetrate better; md moisture extremes are thereby lessened. The plant food content of manures varies widely, depending on the type of animal from which it is produced and the nature of tiie animal's diet. Sheep md poultry manure are richer in plant food constituents than are pig, horse, md cow manures. Pig manure is mt often used but may be of high quality if the arimals are receiving a rich diet md plenty of litter is used. Because of its greater bulk and more general availability cow manure is the most widely used. COMPOSTS v' Where manure is not readily available, artificial manure may be prepared by the decomposition of vegetable matter in compost piles. Humus- forming materials that might otherwise be wasted may be used in tids way. Materials that are satisfactory for this purpose are hay, straw, peat, weeds, grass clippings, leaves, garden refuse that is not diseased, and even domestic garbage. In order to hasten decomposition, food should be supplied to the bacteria that bring it about This may'be accomplished ~by distributing, through the pile a small amount of nitrogenous fertilizer such as sulphate of ammonia, together with some ground limestone to reduce acidity md so hasten decomposition. Spread the raw material on the ground to a depth tf about 8 to 12 inches. Over this sprinkle ammonium sulphate at 4 to 6 pounds md ground limestone at 1 pound per 100 lbs. tf plant material. If more convenient the limestone may be' replaced by 2 or 3 pounds of unleached wood ashes. Add, another layer of plant material md the correct amount of chemicals andcontinute until the material is med tip and a flat-topped pile is formed. Adding a sprinkling tf fertile soU to each layer wttl hasten the decomposition, mid if the material is dry water should be sprinkled on each layer. In three to six months, if the pile has been turned once or twice, it should be ready to be incorporated into the garden soU. LIME It is seldom necessary to add lime to garden soils. Cert- ainly if should not be added unless the soil has beenproved to have an acid reaction. If the soU is mid in reaction the usual application of Ume required is from 1 to 2 tons per acre, or roughly from % to 1 pound per square yard, This is applied in the fall or early spring, whichever is most convenient, md should be well worked into the soil. COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER Commercial fertilizers come in a variety of different mixtures such as 5-10-10, 5-10-15, 3-18,9, md many others. Which one of these to use md the amount to apply will depend onthe fertility of the soU. The amount of organic matter (such as manure) that has been added over the years, md the nutritional needs ofthe crops being grown. The first figure of any fertilizer mixture refers to the percentage nitrogen (N), the next to percentage phosphoric acid (P205) and the last to percentage potash (K20). The rate to apply fertilizer will vary with toe fertility of the soil and the needs of the crops. For example, non-manured clay or clay loam may need 15 to 25 lb. of 5-10-10 per 1,000 square feet; if manured 3-18-9 may be substituted, but at a lower rate if manured heavily. For more precise information, use the soil-testing services tf. your Provinctal Department of Agriculture and follow their recommendations. ',-,;/ GARDEN TOOLS Only a few simple tools are needed for a small garden - a spade, digging fork, hoe, rake, trowel, planting line, and a hand weeder. A hand duster or sprayer, wheelbarrow and wheel-hoe are all useful, particularly in a targe . garden. The combined garden drill and wheel-hoe is also an important tool. After the seeding, the seed-box can be removed and wheel-hoe parts bolted in its place. The wheel- hoe cm be set to leave only a narrow row for hand weeding. A garden tractor is also a valuable labor saver in a large garden. . PREPARING THE SOIL Dig, or plow the soil in the fall if possible, and if not, in the spring as soon as the ground is dry enough. If is is avaUable spread rotted manure over the surface before plowing or digging. If the soil is already well supplied with organic matter or humus 50 pounds of manure wiU be sufficient for 100 square feet. On poorer soils 100 pounds or more may be applied. SoU fertility may be increased by ad-> ; ding commercial fertilizers in addition to the manure. A complete fertilizer such as 5-10-10 may be used at the rate of 2 pounds to 100 square feet on light sandy soils, or 3-18-9 at a rate tf one pound to 100 square feet on heavier soils. Work the garden to a depth of 8 to 10 inches, and cover dl manure or compost after throughly mixing it with the soil. Turn existing sod under and cover it completely. If couch grass is present, use a digging fork to shake out tte roots. Thoroughly pulverize and smooth tte Surface of the soU in order to obtain a uniform stand of plants from seeds or transplants. Scatter the'fertilizer over tte soil surface after digging, and work it weU Into the topsoil with a harrow or rake. Fert- Uizer should not be allowed Home Vegetable Gardening to come into direct contact with roots or tops, since it may cause burning tf the young plants. FERTILIZATION If commerctal fertilizer is used, spread 1 level tablespbon- ful of potato fertilizer in the bottom ofthe broad holes made for the sets and cover with IV2 inches tf soil. Then place the set on top and cover it but do not allow tte sets to come in contact with the fertilizer. CULTIVATION Weed control and conservation of moisture are the two primary functions of tillage. Hill up the soil around the plants as they begin to bloom.

MAIN CROP VEGETABLES EARLY VEGE17iBI.ES VINE CROPS EARLY VEGETABLES MAIN CROP VEGETABLES STRAWBERRIES. ® A garden plan. LAYING OUT THE GARDEN If possible plan the garden so that the tall plants, such as corn, staked tomatoes, and pole beans will be at the north . side where they wUl not cast shade on smaller plants. It is advisable to run rows across a slope to help prevent water run-off md soil erosion. To aUow for cultivation place asparagus, rhubarb and other perennial vegetables onthe edge of the garden, about 3 feet from the grass line. Plant the vine crops ta the center tf the garden, and the other crops on either side with two rows of early vegetables along tiie edges of the vine crops. These will be out of the Way when the vine crops spread. The square or almost square garden is usually easier to handle than a long narrow one. However, if a garden tractor is used, more headland space will have to be sacrificed. If possible, rotate the different plantings so that crops -wttl not be on the same ground year after year. It is particularly important to rotate such crops as cabbages and turnips to keep club- root ta check. Onions and, as a rule, vine crops piay. however, be continued on the same soil year after year. POTATOES; 4 For planting, use sets (that is potato tubers cut into sections) or whole small potatos. Sets .from iji* to 2 ounces, 'containing one or two good strong eyes are best. The sets may be cut, by hand or with mechanical potato cutters, md should be blocky inform rather than thin or shallow. Whole small potatoes that weigh from 2 to 3 ounces slso give good results. It is a good idea to Warm seed potatoes prior to planting. Five pounds of potato sets weighing 1% ounces each and planting 12 inches apart trill plant a cow approximately 50 feet long. PLANTING According to season, potatoes may be planted in British Columbia from mid-April to mid- May. In gardens, planting may be done with a hoe. Make broad holes 5 or 6 inches deep, spaced 12 to 15 inches apart, with the rows 30 to 36 inches apart. Place one set, or seed piece, in each hole and cover to a depth of 4 inches. , ually decrease the depth as the plants become large and shade the soil. Deep cultivation at tMs stage of plant growth would injure the surface feeder roots. Cultivating late in the season or after the tubers hayeformed may be injurous to the crop. HARVESTING Potatoes grown in the home garden may be used justas soon as the new tubers are large enough. TMs will depend onthe variety planted md climatic conditions. A 50-foot row will yield from 60 to 100 pounds. Under ideal conditions, digging of the main crop can be deferred until late in the autumn. Under ideal conditions digging of the main crop cm be deferred until late in the autumn. Where the land is inclined to be wet, rig the potatoes before th fall rains set in. Handle the crop carefully to avoid mechanical injury. On a small arm, digging may be done with a. four-pronged fork. When going into storage, the tubers should be as dry as possible. In British Columbia the recommended varieties are: Early - Warba, Intermediate - Kennebec, Pontiac; Main Crop • Netted Gem, SOWING THE SEED Consult the tables for dates tf sowing, depth to plant, and spacing or rows. Sow only enough seed to ensure a good stand of plants, TMck sowing wastes seeds and increases die labour of thinning. Stretch the gar-, den line tightly to marktherow and open a drill by drawing the corner of a hoe or square -•' stake along the line to the required depth. Make the drill tf even depth so that uniform germination of the seed will be obtained. Place large seeds, such as beans and pern, individually at -tiie specified distances. Sow small seeds, such as carrots or lettuce, by tearing off a corner of the envelope, holding the packet horizontally, md gently tapping it with the finger as it is moved along the drill. Press the soil firmly over tte. drill after the seed hm been sown. To extend the season of crops such as beans and corn, make two or three sowings at intervals of 10 days. Successive sowings of peas may be made in the Maritimes, western Alberta md on the Pacific coast. Usually, however, the cropping . season is lengthened, particu- APRIL '75 KRA..WR VAU-KY i'ARM, HOMK & GA\,.:.- The concrete floor, duminum roof and two feet of all - round insulation are indeed a formidable defense against the ele- ZyWTS •'■' .

Eventually Mr, Trueman managed to break in twelve of Ms wttd cows, milk them, and sMp the milk once a wmk via Likely stage and P.G.E. train over Williams Lake to the Quesnel creamery. "The problem was row, how could I get cream that would bring the highest price possible. "ff tte cream froze, it worid be downgraded. So Tracked my brain how I could keep it without freezing it or having it go sour. WeU, Mr, Trueman camp up Witt a solution. He built a storehouse after the fashion tf tte new root cellar. "I got better grades titan some farmers in Quesnel. "Tte only time I got a problem wm when tte P.GJ2, wm late or tiie mUk took too long to get there." "It gave us the cmh revenue we needed to buy groceries. "Now we have no creameries so there, is ro place for small farmers to get cmh revenue from.

Mr. Trroman*s main criticism tf present day co-ops is that "Farmers who operate ttem do it for one reason, to benefit their own selfish interests," he saLd OWN BENEFIT "A farmer who joins these organizations for Ms own benefit alone is not a co-operative man.'* '■Everybody screams about the Mgh emt of Uving, but nobody ta teckUng the proUem rt its. source," "The processor Is the source . tf tte trouble.'* "The former ta brainwashed that he cm*t raisepigsorcattie or feed hta cMckens unless he uses processed feed." Health authorities, the department tf agriculture and the government itself are the main culprits promoting such Idem, he said. As a solution, Mr. Trueman suggest consumers and producers get together to form and expand the co operative movement to break the monopolies of large supermarket chains. .-. "Safeway Is one ofthe largest beef operations in the worid and ttey practically control tiie price tf beef/' hesaid. "There is ro way the farmer cm buck that on his own. "The consumer win buy cheaper and the more he buys tte more dividends he gets at the end tf the year." Another solution to beat the high emt tf food is for people to plant their own vegetables. Five mres of land in tMs part ofthe country will give enough food to support a very large family. < ■ _ .. ■ Mr. Trueman foUowed his own advice when he built his greenhouses.

Moreover the trees can be kept to a compact haMt and do not require as much space as a vigorous apple or cherry tree. Most plums will produce crops from the fifth year. Varieties: Gold - As Its name suggests this Is a goldeuyellow plum. Round in shape and of medium size and Mr eating quality. Santa Rosa - A round red plum of fair quality. Both Gold ancl Santa Rosa varieties are Japanese plums and need to be planted together to provide cross fertilization. Both varieties will then yield heavily. The trees are early bearing and the fruit matures in mid August. Peach Plum - Early blue European type plum of fair eating quality and good size. Reeves - Md to late season plum similar to Peach plum, Good size and quality, crops well. Bradshaw - Blue mid season plum suitable for culinary purposes. Early lhtallan prune • Greats and Demaris are popular strains of this prune. Good quality plum ready in mid to late August. Italian prune - The Italian prune ripens in early September, some two to three weeks after the Early prune. Good quality dessert or culinary fruit if allowed to matureon the tree. Damson - SmaU rlchflavored culinary plum. Good pollinator for Early and Italian prunes. Pollination -Most plums are self sterile or only partially self fertile. To ensure regiilar cropping it is advisable toplant two varieties from the same group to provide cross pollination, e£.: Gold and Santa Rosa or Italian prune and Bradshaw. Italian prunes are partially self fertile, they make satisfactory pollinator trees and win set adequate crops for the home gardener if planted on their own, although for full crop cross fertilization Is necessary. Planting - Select a well grown one or two year old tree from the nursery. Two year trees shoidd have at least four or five well spaced branches with a good root system* It is important to select a site that is sot low lying or subject to late spring frosts which could injure the blossom end reduce the yield potential. Trees should not be planted closer than 12 feet, preferably 18 feet. The usual practice Is to plant early In the spring, but planting can be completed in the faU when weather conditions are Con't. on page 16 PRICES REDUCED!

Arm - In - arm with tile cooperative movement, credit unions have helped Canadian agriculture to prosper, he says. Mr. Whelan comments on the 75th anniversary of the founding of Canada's first credit union.. In 1900, Alphonse Desjardins started a *calsse pop- i-aire* in Levis, Que. That credit union, still in operation, was the first in North America. Place not important in egg quality It doesn't matter whether it's a. Lower Mainland egg, an Okanagan egg or a Vancouver Island egg ...- they are aU of much the same quaUty. The relative unimportance of geography in egg quaUty is reported by scientists Dr. J. R. Hunt and Dr. A. T. HUlinthe Agassiz Research Station's "Research Review". Egg samples were obtained from the three areas during a H - week period last summer. They were taken to the research station on tiie day of coUection and the next day were assessed for internal md shell quality. "It was found thatregardless of the area or origin, all eggs were of equal quaUty,** the researchers report*, "both internal and shell quaUty. Age of bird producing the eggs, as expected, did influence quality with both internal and shell quality decreasing wtth age." Eggs were taken from farms having similar housing and management systems. Ages -and strains of ttrds was also similar. Differences were noted with various strains, more in interior quaUty than sheU quaUty, but tiie results were not Influenced by geographical area. The researchers commented that the differences pointed up the value of random sample tests conducted in various loca- . tions across Canada. They also underlined the need of the producer to study aU aspects of random sample test results when deciding on tte strain of birds be would purchase. Cost of raising The cost of raising hogs In the Maritimes has more than doubled in the last tiiree years. In updating a 1972 publication on costs of swine production, Agriculture Canada economists say tiiat feed for nursing sows has jumped from $4 a hundredweight to$8.58ahund- redwelght. Feed for young piglets has gone from $9 a hundredweight in 1972 to 18.44 a hundredweight today. Red estate investment, interest rates and labor costs have also risen. Less pork, lots of beef in '75 Consumers wiU have available ' larger beef suppUes, but smaller pork supplies through 1976, Why less pork in *75? The answer ties In the fact that even though 1974 hog prices averaged above all preceding years; with the exception. of 1978, producers' net returns suffered from risingproduction coste, particularly, feed. Consequently producers have .altered production plans, deriding to cut beck on output, at least until tiie profit picture becomes healthier. Reports indicate sizeable cut backs in production. To date (mid - March) porkoutput, compared to a year ago, is down about 12 per cent. And that trend is not likely toshowmiich change through yew end. Normally whensuppUestaper off, prices move upward. Pro- .spects axe for higher prices than a year ago, but the extent of the increase may be tempered by the Increased beef sup- , pUes, general: economic conditions, and world production and trade patterns. Beef suppUes are heavy. Cattle slaughter is running about 20 pear cent ahead of a year ago, This has been brought about by the favourable returns to beef producers in the late 60*s and early 70's, resulting in significant gains in cattle numbers. At January 1 Statistics Canada reported cattle . and calf Inventories were 6 per cent over a year ago. Prospects are for large beef suppUes throughout 1975. As producers cull herds, suppUes of lower grades of beef wUl likely be plentiful Hamburg and stew meat, offering many ways of preparation, make for a nutritious meal and provide , economy in menu planning at the same time. Speculation on beef price trends revolves around a whole series of -if s*» and **b_t»s** - including world suppUes and price trends, weather cond- tions, feed sirppUes, poUtical decisions, etc. AH have an Important bearing on tiie final derisions etc. AU have an Important bearing on the final derisions of producers to e_- pand or limit output of apart- - icular class of animal.

Good management starts before the caU is born, by seeing that the cow has been properly fed and is in good condition at calving time. AT CALVING TIME, unless the herd is on pasture, place the cow in a roomy box stall at least two or three days previous to the expected calving date. Remove all old bedding and thoroughly clean and disinfect the stall before putting the cow in. Provide plenty of clean, dry bedding. AS SOON AS the calf arrives, give any needed attention. If a slimy membrane covers the nose remove it immediately. Disinfect the navel with tincture of iodine to prevent navel infection. This is important since navel infection is considered- to be the third largest cause of death in young calves but can be practically eliminated with iodine appUcations. Assist the calf to nurse if it does not do so within the first hour or so after birth. See that the teats and udder of the cow are clean before the calf suckles. The first milk a cow gives after calving is called colostrum. It is most important that the calf receives this colostrum milk for the first three days of its life. Since this milk has a very high protein and vitamin A content, contains certain immunizing substances and is slightly laxative it is essential that the calf receives it to get away to a good start. If more* milk is available than the calf can use (as is usually the case) it may be placed in plastic bags and frozen for continued use after the mother's milk becomes ready to ship. Where the calf is a bull and it is intended not to raise it, the colostrum milk available may be stored in the sams manner for subsequent feeding to heifer calves to be raised, thus cutting down the cost of providing whole milk for replacements. THE TIME A calf is left with its mother, varies with individual owners. Some remove the calf within a few hours, whUe others leave it with her for three or four Care And Feeding Of Dairy Calves days. Generally speaking, the calf is best removed within 24 hours or after it has nursed at least once. By following this procedure, it is usually easier to teach the calf to drink and the cow settles into the milking-string routine more quietly. No matter- what method of feeding is followed later, a calf should receive whole milk in normal amounts for at least two to four weeks and for a longer period if it is especially valuable or if it is not strong. TEACHING THE CALF TO DRINK Genuine hunger is a great aid in teaching a calf to drink and therefore the first lesson can weU be postponed until twelve to eighteen hours after it has been separated from its dam. Be patient with the calf and remember that its instinct is to seek food at a level above its nose, and not down in a pail. A common method is to back the calf into a corner and stand astride it to hold it fast. Then hold the pati in one hand, dip the fingers of the other in the milk and while the calf is sucking- the fingers, bring its nose down intothe milk. Then gradually withdraw the fingers, holding them at the end of the nose for a little while. Above all, use patience in repeating the process as needed. • ' The calf pails in which milk is fed must be cleaned and sterilized as thoroughly as regular milking equipment. Special care is necessary in cleaning pails which have attached nipple devices. ' FEEDING THE CALF Feed the young calf sparingly, for there is much more danger of over-feeding the first few days than under-feeding. For the first day or two, five or six pounds of milk daily is a safe aUowance for' the average calf, with eight pounds a maximum for a large, vigorous one. The milk should be fed as fresh as possible and at a temperature of 90 deg. to 100 deg.F. Use a thermometer and scale rather than guess work. Increase the allowance of milk gradually as the calf grows older. A good rule to follow is: feed one pound of whole milk for each ten pounds Uve weight up to a maximum of ten or twelve pounds daily. Considerations in product dating What is open date marking and what will it mean to you, the consumer? - Open dating is a means to assist consumers In making decisions at the food counter by providing reasonable choices of alternatives based on ••quaUty** and "service*'. The open dating poUcy becomes mandatory on March 1, 1976, but many packages wiU appear weU before that date. It requires that any prepackaged food product., which has a durable shelf life less than 90days must have on the package: L The durable life date. TMs date represents the period during which the prepackaged product, when stored under conditions appropriate to that product, win retain its claimed wholesomeness, palatability, and nutritional quaUties. The date Includes the month in letters and the day in numbers. The date must be preceded by the words "BEST BEFORE'*, unless clear explanation of tiie significance of the durable life date appears elsewhere on the package. 2.1 Instructions for proper storage, If conditions differ from normal room storage. AH prepackaged meat products have carried these instructions for many years i.e.: "Keep refrigerated*' or "Keep Frozen" Open dating win aid the re- taUer in Stock rotation, assist with withdrawal of over - age product and Improve inventory control. Such practices should ensure better presentation In the meat counter. To'permit effective itnder- standing of open dating, proper interpretation is important. Some facts regarding the "BEST BEFOBE'»date must be understoiod. L The date is not aguarantee of quality. It is only a guideline, wMch has been determined under a specific environment, proper handling of the product, such as high storage temperatures, wiU shortehthe durable life. Freezing or sup- erchUUng wUl extend the durable life. 2. The date on fresh meat does not apply If the meat is to be frozen. 3. The date does not apply once the package is opened, because the package environment has been altered. 4. The product can be stUl very acceptable and useable even after the "best before" date has passed. This date is not an expiry date. Similarly abused product may not be fit before the "best before" date is reached. 5. The most ^advanced "best before" date is not always the freshest product. Every product differs in composition and m-ocessihg technology, and thus every product has a different durable life. BEEF IS EFFICIENT PROTEIN It is argued hy somethatbeef production is Inefficient and cattle should not be fed grain. A recent pamphlet from the National Livestock and Meat Board put this question in perspective as follows: "Critics of beef production overlook the fact tiiat 75 per cent of aU feed consumed by cattle Is inedible by humans. Cattle are ' rani-ants (animals with four stomachs). That means they can produce Ugh quality proteinfor human consumption from otherwise unusable resources such as grass, straw, husks, and other fibrous and pulpy materials. In fact, the ruminant is a walking protein factory". NOW YOU'LL KNOW As of January 1, 1975 the federal food and Drug Regulations provide that where any meat, meat by p product, poultry meat, poultry hy - product or fish (not processed or preserved) has been frozen is thawed prior to sale, tiie words "previously, frozen" must be shown on the label or on a sign adjacent tothefood. Where part of a food has been frozen and thawed prior to sale, for exatnple with ground beef, it must be indicated as being made fresh and frozen portions.

GARDEN M50 Varieties of Daffodils on Display many other Spring Flowers STOELTINGS DELICATESSEN Daffodils you never would think were daffodils! GREEN DAFFODIL LONDON - Britain has produced the world's first green daffodil from a freak bulb found on a Scottish river bank. It has been registered and officially named the WMteadder Daf- fodlL There are nearly 2000 varieties of the flower, but never before has a predoHiinturtly bright green onebeenproduced. Bulbs will be much sought after ly horticulturists, nursery owners and floral artists and their sales are expected to make "quite a fortune*' for Mr. Barclay Forrest, 33, who is rearing green daffodils on Ms arable and beef farm in Berwickshire, Mr, Forrest said: "we are confident we have obtained a world - wide exclusive wilh tMs flower. Its future depends on bulb multiplication, and Lam seriously thinking of gettingthe Dutch to plant some of this year's bulbs for me." The green daffodil was found nearly 20 years -ago by Dr. Mitchell tones on the banks of the WMteadder River, wMch flows through East LotMan and Berwickshire. He carefully reared it, doubling the numbers of bulbs in Ms garden each year and keeping them a closely guarded secret. Two years ago he sold them 811 to Mr. Forrest so that tiie WMteadder Daffodil would continue to live. Today there are 5000 green daffodil bulbs in 17 acres of Forrest family farm land, but it will be about 1979 before they are marketed. The first marketable bulbs will be sold to the Dutch and tiie Am3ricans, perhaps in 1978. Mr. Forrest hopes to sell at least 10,000 a year, wMch will mean holding a stock of 20,000 30,000 to maintain supplies. Horticultural experts who have seen thenewdaffodilclaim it is "far more exciting than a conventional flower." It resembles a rafter spiky dahlia. It has no seed pod and is just as hardy as its conventionally colored brother. Theories suggest that the freak bulb may well havegrown in the ground close to another bulb whose green pigmentation i,was transposed.- y & EUROPEAN SAUSAGES Open 9 to 9 except Sat.
