Are your intentions to her honorable or dishonorable?" And the fellow says, "You mean I got a choice?" Farmers BY STAN PAQUETTE ASSOCIATE AG. REP. HURON COUNTY Ontario farmers have found that by using grain preser- vatives for high moisture corn they have simplified storage and reduced labor costs. One of the keys to success with organic acid preservatives is their safe application, says Don Brown, co-ordinator of Public Relations, for the Farm Safety Association. "These organic acid preser- vatives are safe and easy to use. Generally a farmer does not come into direct contact with the preservatives. But, it makes sense to take safety precautions just in case," he points out. Manufacturers' instructions on proper clothing should be observed carefully. Organic acids will burn skin on contact and can damage your eyes. Operators should wear rubber gloves and boots and long- sleeved clothing. For eye protection goggles should be worn. If you are splashed with the preservative, wash off im- mediately with plenty of cool water and consult your doctor. Breathing fumes from treated grain may be dangerous, Wear a respirator if it is. -necessary to enter the storage bin. Read the label carefully before you apply organic acid preservatives. You could prevent a potentially hazardous situation, SILAGE GAS What, oats, barley, and other small grain crops are often used as summer silage by On- tario livestock farmers until late summer or early fall silage crops are harvested. "A danger in ensiling small grain crops, as with corn sitages, is that the nitrates they contain can quickly form silage gas, resulting in partial paralysis or even death if ex- Posure to this gas is extensive", warns Don Brown, public relations co-ordinator for the Farm Safety Association. Silage gas can begin to form a few hours after a crop has been stored in a silo. Being heavier than air, the gas tends to form concentrations on top of the silage. Scientifically known as nitrogen dioxide, the gas is normally yellowish- brown in its lethal phase and smells rather like laundry bleach. Now is the time to apply fall phosphorous and potash, says Pat Lynch, soils and crop specialist for Huron and Perth Counties. Since these two nutrients move very little in the soil, they may be applied now without leaching loss during the winter and spring months.. Both of these elements are helpful to the alfalfa and grass plants to insure that these plants over- winter. This is the time of year when forage plants are in- creasing their root reserves for overwintering. It is also a worthwhile exer- cise to 11,11 apply phosphorous and potash to next year's corn ground. This can be applied before fall ploughing. There are many reasons to fall apply phosphorous and potash to next year's corn ground. It eliminates some of the work-load next spring, if ap- plied before ploughing it is one less trip to help pack the soil next year. It is almost certain that fer- tilizer will be more expensive next spring. If the farmer buys fertilizer next spring he must pay the dealer interest on in- vestment plus storage costs for the winter months. These costs will show as a higher price for fertilizer next spring. If the freight rate goes up, this will be another cost that the fertilizer dealer must pay before he gets The most serious threat from silage gas occurs during the first 12 to 60 hours after the silo has been filled. A silo blower will not disperse the gas and should not be regarded as a safety measure. Although silage gas reaches its most potent levels a few hours after a crop has been ensiled, caution should be exercised for at least 10 days after a silo has been filled, says Mr. Brown. If exposed to silage gas a doc- his materials; this increase wilt also be passed along to the far- mer. Finally, if you are in a position to buy fertilizer now, it will reduce your taxable in- come for 1973. Nitrogen is not like phosphorous and potash in that nitrogen moves freely in the soil and is readily lost from the topsoil. For this reason it is not recommended that nitrogen be fall applied. However, a farmer can consider fall buying part of his nitrogen requirements if he has storage space for the win- ter. Clinton IV 4-H group held their first meeting at Gibson's on September 10, Elected to of- fice were: president, Cheryl Kennedy; vice-president, Christine Carter; treasurer, Rose Marie Flynn; phone girl, Darlene Carnochan. There will be a revolving secretary, This unit is "A World of Food in Canada " to learn about recipes of many ethic groups who have settled in Canada. The leaders, Mrs, Doris Car- nochan and Mrs. Isobel Gibson, kept a discussion going on Early Canada, what the first people ate, and contrasted the convenience foods of today with The first meeting of Holmesville III, "A World of Food in Canada", took place Monday, September 17 in the Holmesville Public School. The leader for our cheerful group of seven is Mrs. Yen, with Marie Betties as her assistant. We elected Sherry Hodgins as presiderit, Diana Brand as vice-president, Helen Kaastra as secretary-treasurer and Terri Van Dongen as press tor should be contacted im- mediately even if there are no symptoms. The symptoms of ex- posure are a noticeable irritation of the nose and throat, and sneezing. No one should ever enter a silo alone. If you must go into the silo, be sure to have someone standing by in case of an accident. Signs should be posted on silo doors or in feed rooms war- ning others of possible dangers from silage gas. If a sharp bleach-like odour, or yellowish- brown gases are observed, the area should be vacated im- mediately. Silo doors should be put in place only as fast as the silo is filled in order to allow gases to escape. Carry an oxygen supply if it is necessary to climb a silo and silo doors are open at silage level. It is impossible to predict whether silage gas will be created from any given silage. It is always wise to take ap- propriate precautions to avoid possible serious injury, whether the gas is actually observed or not, advises Mr. Brown. the laborious preparations of the pioneers. Cheryl Kennedy showed the new girls the correct way to measure and Joanne Gibson demonstrated "Sukqut- tahhash" a vegetable dish the early settlers learned from the Iroquois. Some of the girls thought it might be all right if you were really hungry from chopping down trees and pulling stumps all day, Darlene Carnochan demon- strated Strawberry Buckle with lemon sauce. This was good and we could see why this recipe has been saved over the years. —Joanne Gibson reporter. The other members_ in the group are Shirley fleykoop, Jackie trend and Marie Bet- ties who demonstrated rasp- berry vinegar, a tangy drink and succotash, a dish first made by the Iroquois. After the meeting, the three clubs that held meetings in the school meet in the auditorium to sample each others dishes. — Terri Van Dongen September 25 to 29 are im- portant dates to keep in mind, The 1973 International Plowing Match and Farm Maehinery Show will be held on these dates, on the J.D. McOugan and neighboring farms near Alvinstoo in Lamb- ton County. The Match will be officially opened September 25 by His Excellency, Governor- General J. Roland Michener. Ontario is also host for the Canadian Plowing Champion- ships, which will be held at the same site on September 27. En- trants from seven provinces will be competing for the right to represent Canada at the 1974 World Plowing Match in Finland. About 600 acres will be used for the Match site. Tented City, covering approximately 75 acres, will accommodate more than 300 exhibitors in tents and buildings. Rural and urban visitors will see everything from the latest in farm machinery, to new automobiles, to home appliances, on display. There are 37 classes for the more than 700 competitors in the tractor and horse-drawn plowing competitions. As well, there are special classes, such as the Queen of the Furrow, Wardens' Class and Canadian Open. Tractor-drawn wagons will be on hand to drive in- terested spectators to the plowing fields and back. Rick Rogers was going to run away from home. He was packing now, But suddenly there was a tapping on his window. Parked outside -- in mid air -- was an old- fashioned surrey. The win- dow opened, and an old man with a beard stepped into Rick's room. "How would you like to be an apprentice Wizard?" he asked. And off they flew in the surrey. The Wizard showed Rick how to solve .problems .with In a lake a boy was drowning. The Wizard pointed his staff at a tall tree and cracked it with a lightning bolt. The tree fell into the water, and the boy pulled himself along the trunk to safety, Then they flew to a small village. The ,people were starving. There had been no rain, and their crops were dying in the fields. "It's your turn," said the Wizard. Rick didn't know much about magic, but he knew some things that the Wizard didn't. He pointed the staff at the ground, and a bag A dally parade of new farm. machinery, new model cars, ATV's, oxen, mules, and old steam engines, is one. of the highlights of the Match that shouldn't be missed.
