Langton Agricultural Representative An increased yield of, 28 bu- • shell per 'acre of grain corn resulted from: 411e drainage- in Elgin CountNrtla.,96P../rh •4•• presents thrtt#Ird-h` of a five-year demonstratiOn de- signed 'to reveal the economics of tiled versus nontiled land in, the production of grain corn. • • First considered in 1966 by the, Elgin Soil and Crop Im- provement Association, the drai- nage project was prompted be- cause of increasing costs of fi- ling and . a backlog of drainage work in the County. Benefits from tiling were questioned, as . no local data were available. A demonstration to compare the efficiency of crop produc- tion on tiled versus nontiled land was agreed upon and planned for a five-year term on the farm of Dana' Porter, R.Ft.2.0 Port Stanley. An outline of study pro- • cedures and the results of three years' findings, prepared by Mr. Porter, are as follows: PURPOSE: To determine the yield effect on 5 years of con- tinuous corn' as a result of tile drainage. DEMONSTRATION LAYOUT: An • area of land composed of Conover Clay, Haldimand Silt, and Be- verly Silt los n was left untiled when a SouthwOld Township farm was drained in 1966. The tiled - and untiled areas are located adjacent to one another and are reasonably similar in natural • respects. Fair purposes of the demon- stration, the tiled area referred to lies directly above a 4-inch • drain lateral. The untiled area lies 120 feet away from this lateral, a distance theoretically k sufficient to be out 'of artificial drainage influence. 1969 CROPPING PROCEDURE: Bcth areas were similarly plowed in the fall of 1968. On May 2, the tiled portion was sufficiently dry to prepare a' seedbed in which was planted-an 8-row strip to 22,000 K/A of Pioneer 3773. ft Inclement weather prevented further work in this field until May 27 when more of the tiled area (adjacent to the 8-row strip) was worked and planted 'to 22,000 K/A of Pioneer 3956. The un- tiled portion was not sufficiently dry ,to work until June 12 when • 'it was planted to Pioneer 3872 at 24,000 K/A. The prolonged wet weather of spring and early summer com- plicated the demonstration by requiring three widely separa- ted planting periods. Thus three different hybrids of decreasing de heat units were needed to en- sure maturity. Other cropping procedures throughout the three areas were similar. Seedbed Preparation: This in- cluded a single discing followed by cultivation and harrowing prior to planting. • Fertilization: Fertilizer applied at planting was 170 lbs./A of 8-32-16 to the side, and below the seed, NH3 was side dressed et the rate of 150 lbs./A after the corn was up.

Friday afternoon. Head table gues'ts included The action came following complaints in the county that American hunters are coming into Huron County and stripping the area of Wildlife, leaving noth- ing for local hunters to stalk. Two other suggestions have been made: bylaws passed at the local level under the Municipal Aqt regulating discharge of fire- arms; and to have a township declared a regulated township. 'It was learned that some town- ships in Huron County are now established as regulated town- ships. There was also some dis- cussion about the presence of out-of-the-county bait companies which are emptying the Huron County rivers and streams of all forms of marine,, life. It .was pointed out that while these com- panies are licensed to operate, individual property owners have the right to forbid them access to a stream or river on their property. Reeve Girvin Reed, Ashfield, chairman of the county develop- ment committee, told county council that many farmers in the county are not concerned about hunters .and fishermen from out of. the district. He said a survey taken recently in the county has revealed, this fact. "But the survey may not have been taken in the right areas," added Reed. "Many farmers do care," stated, Allan Campbell, McKil- lop. ott 4ht 41: oe' r 7;:21' ift 7;43 OHO' M y l Einceoirwal mTriceoaSanUrcrtfi4444,Melli.:4,041r.„ e aN'rgtia.ngdbio, G140.0Merrfolbga., #pflis9t,r1Matr.01:p. uMtycNa,icecti9on311p,411.04.4 his wife, Mrs. 'McNichp11,- Margaret Bowra, District Deputy President of District No. 8 encl her husband, Mr. Prank Bbwre4'', Mr, GordOn..

The two adjacent areas pro- duced near perfect stands of about 22,000 plants/A. All other stages of growth followed logi- cally, with the earlier plantings showing the earlier maturity and smaller plant size. All plot areas were free from weeds and lodging. Harvest: On October 24, .7 acres was combined from each . of the three areae. Each of these lots was kept separate for weighing and moisture testing. A conversion to yield per acre of 15.5% corn was calculated. If the two tiled plantings are averaged, they represent a yield .increase of 26.3 bu/A over the untiled planting. Thus, it would appear that 28.3 111/A of corn is the increase dtie to tile drai- nage on this particular area on this particular year under this set of management conditions. a RY, MODA Council Will Tour Huron County SCENIC 'BUS TOUR Through Ontario's North from CLINTON to'VVINNIPEG July 13 to 23 inclusive VISIT MANITOBA pENTENNIAL IN WINNEPEG FOR 4 DAYS ROUND TRIP FARE $54.00 Reservation will be made as per your instruction For Further Information Call WES.
