Says farmers can curtail pollution
About 9Q0 persons attended the
three events held in conjunction
with the annual Agricultura.1Con,-
ference in Clinton Friday and
Saturday by the Crop and Soil
Improvement Association, the
Federation of Agriculture and the
Junior Farmers.
Almost half of that number
were on hand Friday for the
Junior Farmer drama festival,
while another 255 attended the
pesticide meeting on Friday.
Agricultural Representative
Doug Miles said he was "very
disappointed" in the fact only
Page 2 Times-Advocate, March 16, 1967
225 Huron farmers attended the
Agricultural Conference at the
high school on Saturday.
Be said he and his staff had
chosen topics that would provide
farmers with information they
will require in the next six
months.
"But, I guess I boobed," he
said in noting that farmers ap-
parently weren't interested in the
topics.
The most popular program of
the six presented was on drain-
age and water pollution. All but a
handful of those in attendance
Saturday morning sat in on this
discussion to hear three township
clerks explain regulations re-
garding drains.
Leading the panel was agric-
ultural engineer Bert Moggach
and members included Harry
Strang, clerk of Lisborne; Jim
McIntosh, clerk of Tuckersmith;
and R. E, Thompson, clerk of
Goderich township.
The three clerks gave advice
yards, septic beds and silos—
he said this could be eliminated
if farmers took the initiative
and took a good look at what
their tile do,
Reporting there was severe
pollution in some areas due to
carelessness, Spencer predicted
controls would have to be placed
on fertilizers, feed lots, barn-
yard runoffs, and other pollution
sources, if people didn't take
the little steps required to pre-
vent this from becoming a more
serious problem.
He said some States in the
U.S.A. already require permits
for feedlot operations,
the stage that it will become a
big concern requiring drastic
regulations.
Spencer said he didn't want
victims of water pollution to get
any more concerned, but hoped
that those causing it would get
more concerned.
He listed the types of farm
pollutants as: soil erosion, or-
ganic matter such as manures
and dead leaves, fertilizers con-
taining nitrogen, phosphorous and
potassium.
He listed the problem of nitro-
gen from fertilizer as "extremely
troublesome" and said several
areas were approaching what
could be termed "safe levels".
In reference to another prob-
lem—that of runoff from barn-
on the steps they should take
when considering the purchase of
a farm, as well as procedures
involved in applying for tile
drainage loans and municipal
drains.
They agreed that the clerk of
the municipality was the first
man any farmer should see when
considering drains, so he may be
made aware of existing drains
and outlets.
They fielded several questionS
from members of the audience,
relating primarily to individual
problems.
Included on the same program
was Verne Spence, farm water
management specialist for the
Ontario agricultural department,
who reported that our survival
and well being depends upon elim-
ination—or at the least a slow
down—in water pollution,
He said that with every farmer
excercising some control and
a great deal of common sense,
the problem might never reach
Hibbert group
report on year
The annual meeting of the Rib-
bert Co-operative Dairy Assoc-
iation Limited was held at the
Township Hall, Staffa, on March
8.
During the past year the total
butter manufactured was
1,072,529 lbs. A patronage bonus
of 44 per pound of butterfat was
paid amounting to $34,462.39.
Russell Worden, whose term
had expired, was re-elected for
another five year term.
Bob Jardine from the Dairy
branch, Stratford, was guest
speaker. Gerald Carey, who re-
presents Perth and Huron to the
Provincial Cream Producers'
Association, made a few brief
remarks.
The manager, Lloyd Cameron,
mentioned the improvements in
the quality of cream and the
butter grade, and thanked the
shareholders for coming out and
showing their interest.
Officers for the coming year
are: president, Russell Worden;
vice-president, Vic Jeffery; sec-
retary-treasurer, Arthur Kemp;
directors, Harris Butson and
Norman Jefferson.
NEED ACTION
Some of the programs required
to be undertaken by farmers to
reduce pollution were listed as
follows:
—pay more attention to the
time and amount when applying
pesticides, herbicides and fer-
tilizers.
—have spray equipment cali-
brated correctly.
—prevent soil erosion.
—manage barnyard runoff so
it takes place over a period of
time and not all at one time.
In the afternoon session at
Clinton, the family farm agree-
ment sessions were well attend-
ed, as were the hydro Investment
and dairy discussions.
Only a few farmers appeared
interested in crop insurance and
unemployment insurance.
Miles said he was well pleased
with the Friday event which had
13 major chemical companies
relating what their herbicides and
insecticides will do.
"It was one of the better days
I ever attended", the Huron Ag
Rep stated, adding it would be
impossible for farmers to go
home without some good ideas.
In introducing the sessions,
Miles stated it was impossible
to farm without taking advantage
of the various products industry
has provided to eradicate weeds
and insects.

Organize
4-H clubs
Super
isn't a miracle
fertilizer.
No matter
what anybody says.
This year's 4-H Swine Club
program will get under way on
Thursday, March 16 at 8:30 pm
in the Board Room, Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, Clinton.
All young people between the
ages of 12 (as of January 1st,
1967) and 20 who are interested
in joining, should get in touch
with their township hog producer
director.
A new and important develop-
ment in 4-H Swine Club work
will be tested on a pilot basis
this year in Huron County. Mem-
bers 12-20 years of age may
take part in all aspects of the
project. Each member will have
his or her choice of a breeding
hog or a market hog project.
In the Breeding Hog Project,
each member will have two pure-
bred gilts and will use the reg-
ular Swine Club Record Book.
Gilts should be born between
March 1 and April 30, 1967.
In the Market Hog Project,
each member will have a group
of not less than five market
hogs. These members will use
the Market Hog Record Book.
Market Hogs should be born after
January 1, 1967. As well, all
hogs must be weaned and on
feed not later than May 1.
A number of members will be
using pigs from their 1963, 1964,
1965 or 1966 4-H sow, while new
members will purchase pigs from
these litters or from purebred
breeders. Further details are in
the recent edition of the "Huron
County Soil and Crop News".
OTHER CLUBS
The 4-fi Calf, Tractor, Engine-
ering, Grain Corn, Sweet Corn,
Forage and Conservation Clubs
will be organized during Easter
Holidays, March 28 to 31,
Please check the "Huron
County Soil and Crop News" and
your local newspapers for adver-
tisements concerning these or-
ganizational meetings.
We will admit, though, that the farmers who
use Super Q as part of a sound management
program get some pretty spectacular results.
How about corn? Last year
lf you're the kind of outstandi ng farmer whose
land is fertile enough, whose cropping and
fertilizing methods are progressive enough,
and whose goals are high
ourSuperQforCorn helped set
an all-time yield record of 161
bushels an acre in the Nation-
al Corn Picking Contest in
Eastern Michigan. And we
could go on and on with yield
records in wheat and barley and
oats and cotton and potatoes...
enough, Super Q can offer you
a product arid a program which
together can bring you larger
returns than you could ever
hope to gain with conventional
premium fertilizers, To find
