The top Showman in the Sheep, Swine and Beef Clubs will be going on to take part in further Showmanship Competitions to be held at the Durham Central Fair in Orono on Friday, September 6. Judge for the day was Mr. Bill Sutherland from BoWman- ville, who did an excellent job of placing the classes and pointing out to members, areas in which they could improve in the overall area of livestock showmanship. As I mentioned, the Achievement Day is the highlight of the year for 4-H Club members and once again this year, proved to be highly successful. Wheat Board Announces Interim Payment The Ontario Wheat Produ- cers Marketing Board is making preparations for a $1.00 per bushel interim pay- ment to be made on 1973 crop wheat sold by Ontario Wheat Producers. The payment will be made to producers in about one months time. In a state- ment issued by Board Chair- man, Fergus Young of R.R. 1, Ennismore, following a board meeting held in Toronto on August 20th, the following details were outlined: Under the new Pooling System inau- gurated last year, producers receive the basic, initial payment of $1.51 per bushel for Grade No. 2 or better, 14 percent moisture wheat. In December, 1973, the board made an interim payment of 50 cents per bushel and that brought the basic payment to producers up to $2.01 per ushel. This additional interim pay- ment of $1.00 per bushel makes the sub-total to produ- cers $3.01 per bushel with a final payment yet to be made. The Board emphasizes that it will take approximately one month to prepare and mail the cheques which will apply to about 12 million bushels of 1973 crop wheat sold by Ontario producers. The Board also emphasized the fact that the $1.00 Interim Payment is not a final payment and that the final Board payment cannot be made until after all sales of carry-over stocks are completed at the end of September. Carry-over stocks were not sold until July for export by the end of Septem- ber of 1974. The board also wishes to point out that the payment does not include any ederal consumer subsidy funds which are still to be paid. Further to the statement concerning the federal go- vernment payment, Mr. Young said the board has been unable to obtain any indica- tion as to when the federal payment will be made, but that a meeting with officials in Ottawa will be sought in the near future concerning the matter. 4-H Achievement Days Up-Coming in the County As I mentioned earlier in this news column, five of the 4-H Clubs held their Achieve- ment Days at the Blackstock Fair on the 24th.

At the same time, the 4-H Rabbit Club will also be holding their Achievement Day in conjunction with the large ràbbit show that is going to be held at the Orono Fair. 4-H Clubs will also have their club exhibits on display in the 4-H and Junior Farmer tent exhibit area in the infield of the fairgrounds, and we would encourage as many people as possible to take a look at these exhibits and see the work that has gone into them. The theme fortlais year's exhibit is, "Durham County Agriculture - Past and Pre- sent" and this sould lead to a number of good exhibits from all clubs. Once again this year, the County Champion- ship Showmanship Competi- tion will be held at Orono;'this involves club memhbers from Beef, Sheep, Swine and Dairy Clubs, who compete for the honor of being selected as Top Livestock Showman in the County.
