In addition, the United Farmers' Co-operative Co. Ltd, the provincial central co- operative for marketing farm pro- ducts and supplies, was active. Total sales of these organizations were $79,023,349. Of all farm products marketed co-operatively, livestock was the most important with about -27 per cent of the total, followed by fruit and vegetables, dairy products, eggs and poultry, grain and seed, wool, and miscellaneous products of many kinds. Grain, feed and seed com- prised more than half of the sup- plies distributed through Ontario co-operatives, groceries and meats were second in importance, making up about¥7 per cent of distribution. 'General farm supplies and fertilizer out five per cent each. Other kinds of supplies constituted a less "role: Mémbers and shareholders num- bered 65,533 of which 51,786 were considered as active patrons and customers, Non-member patrons and customers were estimated at 48,897, or 46.4 per cent of all patrons and customers. Co-operatives employed 4,135 per- sons and 173 organizations paid salaries and wages amounting to $3,352,423. Other organizations' of a co-oper- ative type in operation in Ontario during 1946-47 included farmers' mutual fire insurance companies, local telephone companies, and far- niers' group bargaining associations. Twenty farmers' clubs out of 35, re- ported group purchases of farm supplies valued at $304,221. Importance Of Seed Treatment .As the result of many tests, it has been shown that most grain, at oze time or another, is infected with smut diseases. . According sto C-I-L's agricultural chemicals division, recent observa- tions showed that almost 10 per cent of wheat seed, 38 per cent of seed oats and 59 per cent of seed barley used by Western Canadian farmers last year carried sufficient traces of smut to require disinfec- on. As the result of ineffectual smut control in past years, new methods of seed treatment have been de- veloped. One is the dry-seed treat mnt with a machine known as the Kemp Seed Treater. Another is a homemade dust treater made of an DODDS KIDNEY w oil drum. This gives a thorough application of disinfectant by roll- ing all seeds against the mixing board and surging them from one end of the drum to the other, A third machine, the slurry treat- er, is somewhat large for a single farm but is excellent for custom.) treatment since it is capable of handling 350 bushels an hour. The slurry method has been found highly effective, having the advan- tage of completely eliminating fly- ing dust, at the same time giving every single seed a thorough moist- ening by disinfectant.
