STORE APPLIANCES Engineers can help farmers If you are worried about next year's new silo or fence causing a Snowdrift at your barn door, you could build the structure and then wait for the pest snowstorm to give you your answer. HOW- ever, that could be an expensive guess! The best way would be to use the Ontario Agricultural College's snow-wind tunnel lathe School of Engineering. A scale, Plexiglas model pf your farm is put into a tunnel through which a current of water flows. Fine sand (simulating snow) is added to the current, and this "snow" then accumulates on the farm model at points where snowdrifts and wind currents- would occur. Situations created by wind from every direction can be studied since the farm model can be rotated. In addition, by manipulating, adding, and sub- tracting the various Plexiglas constructions, your snow prob- lems can be eliminated. Faster and more precise than computers, this service is also free to Ontario residents.

At Centralia five inches of snow was recorded but of course drifting made snow in driveways such as this deeper than that. R. E. Balkwill is shown here as he cleared out his driveway early this week.

Our neighbors to the south(U.S.) are looking to Ontario for cattle with size and quality. An idea for a bus trip to the United States originated in the Perth-Huron group, and hopes are to take that trip this year. James O'S h e a, of Granton, president, was chairman. In his remarks he stated that the Perth- Huron Show held at Seaforth fall fair last year with 84 head was the largest show in Ontario. Douglas Mile s, agricultural representative for Huron, intro- The subject for discussion at the meeting of Fairfield Rural Learners Monday evening was "What Farmers Contribute" be- ing the analysis and discussion of the contribution of agriculture to Canada's economy. As to the importance of agri- cultural prosperity to national welfare it was noted that employ- ment is provided in agriculture for 35% of the people and there is also a big lift to the economy from wheat export. In comparison with agriculture in other nations the group felt Canadian agriculture was more efficient than any other country but still too many farmers have yet inefficient working condi- tions. The farmer feeds 27 peo- ple besides himself. Comparing Canadian agricul- ture with other Canadian indus- tries the farmer takes what he can get and has no say as to prices. He pays for servicing, packaging as well as the food itself. Other industries can figure ahead on the profits but farming depends on nature-rain, sunshine, frost, etc. Judy Lamport, who has joined the navy, leaves January 31 for her new post at Cornwallis, N.S.

Brown, Toronto, associate editor of Canadian Cattlemen, was guest speaker at thePerth- Huron Shorthorn annual dinner meeting Thursday night at Eg- mondville United Church. He was formerly Ontario' s Livestock Commissioner. Other guest speakers included William Sutherland, of Milliken, president of the Ontario Short- horn Association. He stated it had been a busy year with new prob- lems, but we are facing an op- timistic future for beef prod- ucers. Argentine and Australia are out of beef, he said, so we must work to supply the demand of the consumer. W.L.Elllott, of Guelph, secre- tary-manager and salesman of the Ontario Shorthorn Club, said he was pleased to see so many young people at the meeting. They were the 4-H Beef Calf Club members of Huron and Perth. In Ontario in 1965 there were more members in the Shorthorn Ready Mix CONCRETE "We're buying" GARRY, RUSSELL & RODNEY Corn, like wine, is only excel- lent at maturity, and Ontario's farmers should resolve now to improve the quality of their corn. "Early planting is essential!" advises Dr. E. E. Gamble, Crop Science Department, Ontario Ag- ricultural College, Guelph. "The first of May should be a target date to plant corn. Any delay will increase moisture at harvest. In addition, planting after the middle of May can seriously re- duce corn yields."

"A spring frost may destroy the existing leaves, " replies Dr. Gamble, "but in practically all cases, complete recovery (in- cluding high yields) is made. It's much more serious to suffer a frost after the corn has flowered, since such a frost will kill the plants. Many farmers found this out last fall." Early hybrids are also helping to overcome the maturity prob- lems, according to Dr. Gamble. The right hybrid should be grown in the right region; it should not require more heat units than are available. There is now a strong trend in Ontario to use even earl- ier hybrids than used in the past. "I cannot overemphasize the value of mature corn", adds Dr. Gamble, "In addition to high quality, mature corn prevents storage losses or drying time and costs due to high moisture. It also permits earlier harvest in pleasant weather. More import- ant, the early harvest allows the fields to be prepared for next year's crop and, of course, per- mits planting at the recommended early seeding." More corn recommendations are now available in the Ontario Department of Agriculture pub- lication, 1966 Report on Ontario Hybrid Corn Performance Trials. It is available from county Agri- cultural Representatives or by writing to the Information Branch Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, Parliament Buildings, Tor- onto.
