Scotch girl
visits here
This spring's seeding, now in
Tull. swing, reveal changes In
farm operations in 'this dis-
trict, according lo Huron Ag
Rep Douglas Miles and local.
farm suppliers.
Big swing is toward mixed
grains. Sale of grasses and
Climax timothy has increased;
more fertilizer has been ap-
plied according to soil .samp-
ling than ever before; the dry
weather is creating consider.
able increase in the use of
liquid fertilizer on pastures,
inure pre-emergent weed con-
trol spray is being used,
Ag Rep Miles says there are
indications that Huron farm-
ers are beginning to swing
from dairy to beef, a reversal
of the trend of the past five
years. "Since about 1957, the
trend has been from beef to
dairy, hut the situation is now
reversing itself just a little,
primarily because of the beef
price," Mr. Miles said. "We're
trying to steer farmers away
from the change because it:
costs money to do so."
Mr. Miles indicated the new
Russell oat variety. available
in large quantity for the first
time this year, might run
somewhere close to 10";• of the
crop this year, although an es-
timate is difficult. He also felt
birdsloot trefoil acreage was
on the increase, as well as the
use of nitrogen innoculant in
legumes.
Mr. Miles reported there
has been a heavy increase in
the seeding of sunflowers in
the county, particularly in the
Goderich-Dungannon area.
Complete- sellout
'Jones, M a elNa ughton Seeds
Ltd. here report heavy sales,
"/m'e're going to he cleaned
right out," said Eugene Bea-
ver Wednesday.
Volume of Climax timothy
I) a s increased considerably,
despite the increase in price
which has made it about .dou-
hie that of common timothy.
Mr. Beaver also indicated
there was a heavy swing to
certified Vernal alfalfa and in
English double-cut red clover,
because of price.
"There's been a lot of or-
chard and bronae grass used
this spring." he staled. He in-
dicated sales of hirdloot trefoil
were slightly down from last
year.
Grass mixtures up
Both Cann's Mill Ltd. and
Exeter Dijtrict Co-op report
big increases in the sale of
mixed grains,
"We've sold 10 times the
amonut of mixed grain, that we
ever have before," said Car-
feey Cann, He also indicated
that spring wheat has jumped
considerably,
Co-op manager Kenneth )-tern
confirmed the trend. "There
has been a big inrease in de-
mand for mixed grain", he
stated, indicating farmers want
the extra feed energy provided

modations that they would be
willing to contribute for a
smorgasbord to entertain the.

brome and he said that More
farmers have prepared for the

samples showed the need for
the application of more nitro•

Interest in liquids
Carfrey Cann states there has
been a "big interest" In li
quid fertilizers 'for Pasttires,
particularly because of the dry
spring. Liquid has an advant-
age in the dry season, he
pointed out, because it does not:
re,quire moisture 'to reach the

lizer,
Mr. Cann confirmed the ag

the use of Atraziee has created
a much larger demand. The in-
