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.
Weed Control: Atrazine was ap-

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,"

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-
