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. For
further information, contact your
Agricultural Representative.

A winter chore
Residents who thought they had a lot of snow to shovel in Exeter over the weekend should be happy they
were not living in Toronto where the snowfall was 17 and a half inches. 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. (T-A photo)

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.

R.H. 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.

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."
Is there any danger from spring

frosts by planting so early? "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.
