October 8 Bloat Among Cattle Common In Autumn Many cattle especially high producing cows tend to bloat on succulent legume pastures at this time of the year and Agricultur al Representative M Cock- burn has been warning farmers to take preventative measures to avoid the loss of some of their good cattle He claims that 90 percent of the cases of bloat can be avoid ed whereas in some years there have been as high as head picked up by the fertilizer comp anies This would represent a loss to York farmers of over in a bad year Most York County soils are deficient in phosphorous and this deficiency reflected in the crops is apparently more marked in the fall of the year Coupled with this is the fact that grass pro duction is at a low level making a preponderance of alfalfa While there is a little danger of bloat with a pasture of 50 per cent of actual grass a pasture producing largely alfalfa is a very dangerous especially fol lowing a rainy spell such as we have had recently Mr advice is to add to the regular mineral mix ture one part of Phos phate to about four parts of min eral mixture at least for the fall Oar Readers Write The Editor From the angle of a farm read er I must say that I was heart ened to read that objective mod erate and obviously authorita tive story by B in his feature column Our Side Of The Story taking apart the Canadian Manufacturers Associ ations ageold argument that Canadians who buy goods manu factured abroad are putting Can adian workers out of jobs That argument is fallacious Trade is a twoway business When we buy goods from foreigners we thereby supply them with the wherewithal to buy goods from us If we stop the importation of their goods we auomatically stop the export of ours On the other side of the above economic ledger however I am tempted to comment briefly on your closing note which runs thus The obvious effect of immigration is to in crease the competition for jobs and to lower wages or prevent them from rising The claim the manufacturers to be interest ed in the welfare of the workers does not ring true If I had the ability to take care of myself by getting onto the fir ingline between the above ex- months Most mineral mixtures ports obviously I would not long are prepared for average condi tions and the extra phosphate in the fall especially in a phos phate in the fall especially in a phosphate deficient district costs little and is effective Heavier applications of phosphates to the land are also helpful be states Sheep also are ruminants and the same recommendations apply to prevent the accumulation of gas As someone said if a cow could burp she wouldnt bloat REGISTERS COMPLAINT One of the towns parking lots is in poor shape said Coun cillor George on Sept 23 It has many pot holes Whose responsibility is it to sec that the maintenance work is done on the parking lot between the public library and the post office His complaint was referred to Deputy Reeve chairman of the- police tee be a primary producer of food and fiber nor even A Master Farmer So in the circumstances the best I can do is to beam my thought at your special writer within the following few lines I suppose one would be on rea sonably sound ground in assum ing that when the population of Canada moves forward by nudg ing as it did in 1956 ie net natural increase plus the farmers arc direct beneficiaries of those new mouths around the nations din nertables and that therefore the movement serves the general welfare of Canadians along the pavements as well as along the farm front It occurs to me to ask an ad ditional multi million dollar question if the obvious effect of immigration is to increase the competition for jobs in what bracket are we to place socalled cheap food that is at prices that cut into the net revenues of the producers to the point of crippling their purchasing power and according to the wellposted United Slates Department of Agriculture pushing almost two million of the five million farm ers in tliA US into town and city plants in the hunt for sub sidiary or second jobs to assist them in meeting upsurging oper ating costs on their farms Organized Union it seems to me should be interest ed in this latter trend farmer John view GIANT avings a Stewart Beare Radio Phono Combinations TUBE WEBSTER CHANGER HI TYPE SPEAKER REG PRICE YOU PAY ONLY SI 4150 AND YOUR OLD RADIO

The Assess ment Act Yours very truly Reeve SEEKS BUILDING PERMIT CONTRARY TO LOCAL BYLAW An application for a building permit was received by council from A Taylor Lowell Ave The request covered the erection of a garage by feet six feet from the house and two feet from the lot line The building inspector told council that the building bylaw calls for a minimum distance from the house of six feet He said he had not checked the property but had been told by Mr Taylor that is was impossible to keep the garage six feet from the house without having it clos er to the property line than the required three feet Council authorized Mr to check the request inspect the property and report back to council Clifford Davidson President Of Newmarket Legion For 58 Clifford Davidson is the new

addressed Whit church council on Thursday evening Sept in connection the increased attendance and the results of a survey of the public school which would bring the anticipated growth to local school The survey went back over last three years and covered up to While not guaran teed to be a hundred percent ac curate in view of increases and decreases in certain areas it did show that percent of the pupils passing the entrance ex amination continued to high school and this figure appeared to have prevailed for some per iod The figure for was and actual attendance 247 Figures show that attendance will he students by Sept I 1959 and that by that time school will require additional ac commodation Mr Thompson stated that as annexation of certain areas of Whitchurch by Stouffville now appeared remote it was consid ered advisable to bring the sit uation to the attention of Whit church council as school would be within the township boundaries and any debentures required would be issued by Whitchurch The condition of the north mile of road used the school bus on the concession was brought to councils attention This road is not of sufficient width to allow passing of large trucks or busses and should be widened it was stated Councillor Wallwork said that the road had not formerly been used to any great extent Councillor Wylie considered that as it was used by a school bus it should have immediate attention and council gave assur ance that action would be taken in spring of 1MB Zebra Caterpillars Attacking Turnips Turnip growers in parts of York County are suffering a severe loss fioiri mas attacks of the I- caterpillar a pest which normally is present in small numbers but has this year got out of natures control The zebra caterpillar gels its name from its color markings It is a velvety black with two bright yellow stripes on each side of the body with several narrow lines of the same color between them In some of the fields attacked earlier the worms have gone into the soil and pupated to winter over The first brood feeds dur ing June and early July and the second brood feeds in Septem ber and early October chiefly on turnips or cabbage and re lated crops and sometimes cel ery or even gladioli This i one of those occasional years when they gel numerous enough to completely defoliate some turnip fields as found on several farms in the Stouffville district by Cockburn agri cultural representative Newmar ket The control measures recom mended by the Department of Agriculture are either spray or dust with DDT Since DDT is less effective in cool weather the rate of application is lbs of percent wettable DDT per acre for spraying with sufficient water according to the calibra tion of the sprayer or if dust ing 40 to lbs DDT dust Mr suggests that in view of the frequent rains both should he applied with extra pressure to gel under the leaves Field have been do- foliated are not likely in Mr opinion to warrant treating at this late date especial ly many of the caterpillars have already left the plants either to pupate or go to other crops BRADFORD LIONS ANNUAL CARNIVAL AND MONSTER CASH BINGO Saturday Night OCTOBER IN THE Bradford
