HOOP E R Over Anxious With the: advent of the self- prOpelled combines on the old Meshing outs many farmers are jumping; ,the gun. If Neigh - he= Brown is combining wheat it is time for Mr. Smith to Coin - bine hie also. What happens? Nine times out of ten Mr. Smith bas a granary of musty wheat, crawling with weevil and very unpalatable .feed. What caused thus? Neighbour' Brown's wheat didn't heat, nor did. he have weevil. There are several factors which eattsed this but the main one was moisture content. Moisture content varies according to var. WY, For examplet Neighbour Brown had Cornell wheat which matured earlier than Mr. Smith's Genessee, not only because it was an earlier variety of wheat, but Ilia sail analysis report gave a lower amount of nitrogen avail- able. This factor of soil and soil textures coupled with the amount of manure and commercial fer- tilizer, along with the place. Ment in the crop rotation can play,.a large part in de.ternain- ing maturity and thus moisture content. What about the weevil? Where did they come from'. The best eolanation we have heard is a granary without weevil is the same as .a dog without fleas, How true! Weevil can be con- trolled but not completely errad- icated. When Mr. Smith put his Jiigh moisture in the bin, it warmed up several degrees and those hew prolific weevil multi- plied very very rapidly to alarm- ing numbers and as they multi- plied they destroyed' and con - Brides -Elect See the beautiful samples of wedding stationeryand. other items for your big day at Times -Advocate ;1f1n11um,wuuw„111111,111„e,uulnnn,lmmmmnmu� STOP insect damage to your grain Spray bins with , . .

Most of this could have been avoided if the .fanner had oh- tained a moisture test of his wheat and allowed it to reach full maturity. Fears ago when grain was cut and stooked, most farmerswere unaware that weevil was present in their couldrnot idextt fy theany protd.ay While Moisture testers are not to common outside of the grain elevators it is possible to make one that will give accurate enough guide to be within safe levels with a set .of balance scales a pan and the wife's electric stove. Many farmers tell how hard (dry). the wheat is by chewing it. As one farmer said "when you thin]} it is dry give it .an• other couple of days and be sure., ' Swathing is practical by same farmers in harvesting wheat— but this is a risky business. Loss• es can be staggering. Remem• ber how fast a "down sheaf” spoiled in the wheat field? We believe, that, with the num• ber of combines in the district and -the newer varieties of wheat, there is very little excuse for musty, weevil bins of wheat. And if you do run into trouble the new fumigants on the mar- ket are very efficient control— but—why add them to your cost of production by being over- anxious? Let it mature dry in the field. DID YOU KNOW? There are altogether too maziy drownings and near -drownings in the newspapers. Most of those drowned are non -swimmers. A good suggestion made to correct this would be year-round super- vised, swimming pools and its suggested location for this area was at Exeter District High School, built and Maintained by aur school tax and made avail. able to all school-age children from urban and municipal ele- mentary schools as well as col- legiate students, • One life saved would be a small price for a pool. 67casTc !SEZ: NO MATTER WWAT YOUR LOT IN L1FE MAY BE.

A serious infestation of the By MRS. ROSS SKINNER Mexican bean beetle has been, reported. in Tuckersmith. The beetle eats most of the. leaf of the bean, leaving only a frame- work, The adult insect resembles a lady bug, Bolton said. It is yel- low ancb has three rows of large black spots. The larva is bright yellowish -orange in color, The beetle can be controlled by spraying or dusting, he said, but it has to be :done so that it reaches the underside of the leaf, where the -beetle works. Sprays used are rodonone or TEPP: "The high incidence of insect damage has been brought on by the cool damp weather," the as- sistant ag rep reported. "Army worm and Mexican bean beetles have been quite active." - The reason, he said, is because the comparatively light winter did not kill as many off as heavy frost usually does. "I don't think the damp 'wea- ther would cause too much damage to the wheat -crop except for those fields which were stooked," he .said in reporting on county conditions. "If the weather remains dry for the next week or so, Most of the wheat should be harvested in good share." Scene early fields of barley have been cut, he said.

Industry has a sim- ilar problem, In the steel in- dustry expenses are increasing at the rate of 9 percent in the past year while production ef- ficiency has increased only S percent. This is the same pro- cess as buying a farm and grow- ing a cash crop year after year without returning any fertility to the land. Farmers know that eventually there will be no crop. The final outcome can only be the realization by all people that "I ani my brother's keeper." This I believe even though I am worldly enough to sometimes wonder "whose brothey am I?" A "dog eat dog" policy is bad, when practiced by- a few groups, in any econohty; when all groups enter the fight it means ruin. It seems to Me that otir farm groups must provide a sane example of moderation, even though , our patience is sorely tried by the price squeeze at the present time, and refrain from making impossible de- mands on the government. While I don't know the perfect answer, I am convinced that farmers, through their co-ops and marketing agencies, can en- sure a satisfactory return for their efforts and thus provide time for oureconomy to be- come more fairly equalized.
