Jack Peck'S, Kipper), were ins spected by close to 100 farm- ers at the fourth -annual sunrise bean meeting Thursday It was th best turnout yet. Regional soils specialist Jack Murray, London, explained the variety of tests, which continue the fertilitY experiments begun several years ago in the Kip- Pen area, Canada Dep't of Agriculture. .If they measure up, they will be among the 388 head of Cana- dian. Herefords purchased by a three-man Russian team of livestock experts. Most of the cattle were pur- chased in Alberta but Ontario breeders will contribute 76 heif- ers and nine bulls. The Onta- rio breeders received a higher price for their animals — be- tween $350 and $400 each. The total consignment is val- ued at more than $140,000. Among the area shippers are W. S. O'Neill, Denfield; Herb- ert Eedy, Dungannon; Ernest Brown and R, E. Thompson, Clinton, and E. P. Haase Sea- forth. Maurice Hirtzel said last week the animals are undergo- ing an extensive series of tests. "They have had blood tests TB tests and half a dozen other things." 'Ex' sweep for Dearing Preston Dearing's Dorset Horned sheep, which swept awards at the CNE again last week, also hit the pages of one of Toronto's daily newspapers but without their owner. Twin lamb/ rams owned by the Stephen breeder were fea- tured in a news picture with a pretty blonde dancing girl from the grandstand show. "I wouldn't have minded getting in the group somewhere," chuckled Mr. Dearing, "but they didn't want me, just my rains," The Dearing sheep captured every champion and reserve champion award in the class as well as every first and second prize. Sixty-five Dorset Horneds competed. The Stephen farmer's son, Gerald, assisted with the show- ing. The competition took place Friday. Just to prove he has lots of reserve in prize-winning sheep, Mr. Dearing took another group to the Hanover fair next day and won all the major awards there.

Jack Murray thinks one plot this year with 500 Pounds to the acre will more than pay for the fertilizer, but where the point of no return is, we're not sure yet." The tests also have proven that fertilizer applied to the side and below the beans at time of planting is superior to pre-planting with the grain drill, It may be however, that both pre-planting of fertilizer and following by applications to the side and below at time of seed- ing will give even a better re, turn, but more testing is re- Ottired to establish this. No herbicide yet Contrary to a suggestion made earlier this year during a soil and crop tour, Dick Frank of the Western Ontario Agricul- tural School said he didn't fore- see the development of any sat- isfactory herbicide within the next year or two. A chemical called Lorax, which has been successful in soya beans, was tried on two Huron county farm this year but in both cases considerable harm was done to the crop Mr. Frank said no herbicide has been developed yet which the department could recom- mend for beans. Seaway has place Dr. Wen Snow, also of WOAS, discussed the new varieties be- ing developed, He said Seaway, the most recent variety on the market, has found a place with its shorter maturity date. If seeding can he done early, he indicated Sanilac is still the better producer; however, if planting can't be done until June 20 or later, Seaway is the bet- ter bet. Jack Peck, on whose farm the test plots were undertaken, sowed Seaway this year after taking off a crop of hay. Dr. Howard Clark, of the Can- ada Dep't of Agriculture's re- search, station, Harrow, dis- cussed the plant diseases which are being studied, For the first time at a sun- rise meeting, some harvesting equipment was on display. Harvey Coleman, Stanle y, spoke on behalf of the Ontario Bean Growers' 111 a r keting Board, which makes a contribu- tion toward the test plot work, The bean meeting was spon- sored by Huron County Soil and Crop Marketing Board, which makes a contribution toward the test plot work. The bean meeting was spon- sored by Huron County 5o11 and Crop Improvement Association.
