HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1968-05-09, Page 12First time in Canada work started on the site of The Big ,40" Drain Tile Company Limited south of Hensall last week, and appropriately enough, drainage tile was the first thing installed. It was the first time plastic perforated drainage tubing had been used in Canada and this is one of the products the firm will produce when they begin operations around July 15. Many area farmers stopped last week to watch the four-inch tubing being installed and most were impressed with the fact it was a one-man oper- ation. The plastic tubing comes in 250-foot lengths which weigh about 70 pounds and a corresponding amount of tile would weigh about one ton. Installed price is about the same as tile, but there is no labor for the farmer. Watching the operation above from the left: Norm Hodgins, Parkhill, a share- holder in the firm; Sybren De Boer, who will be manager; and Lowell Kraft, president of the company.

Micronutrients are plant nut- rients needed in very small a- mounts as opposed to nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are required in relatively large amounts. The main micronutrients are copper, manganese, zinc, boron and mag- nesium. Another conclusion which soil scientists draw from the pro- vince-wide tests is that there is a significant proportion (about 17 percent) of farm fields on which experiments have been conducted in Ontario that require one or more of the micronut- rients for most profitable crop production. But, since general recommen- dations are not satisfactory in view of the apparent toxicity problem (about 10 percent of the fields), some other method of testing must be adopted. Research groups and exten- sion workers are recommending a tissue-testing service for de- termining the need for micro- nutrients.. The interest in micronutrients will continue as farmers look for higher yields, and as erosion and leaching continues. Micro- nutrients also are increasing in importance as more of the soil's supply of nutrients is being used up. High levels of major nut- rients in a soil can cause im- balance, and in some cases tie up micronutrients. Research is continuing, and` new services will need to be initiated to provide farmers with more specific information about requirements in particular fields. •• McADAMS TV Service To All Makes & Models I n The Hensel', Exeter, Crediton, Grand Bend and Surrounding Areas.

"It has come to the point in farming where farmers have too much fixed capital tied up in land, which gives a distorted picture of actual income," Mr. Gaunt said in the legislature. Mr. Gaunt said tenant farming would help young farmers in- crease the size of their oper- ation because less capital would be needed. Under a tenant system, farm- ers would rent their land rather than own it. Mr. Gaunt, MPP for Huron- Bruce, said: "All that is need- ed is for rented land to offer security of tenure. "If security of tenure could be given for at least 10 years, this would permit farmers to plan ahead." He conceded some tax revi- sions would be necessary es- pecially depreciation allowances which would have to be much larger. Mr. Gaunt also called for a direct bargaining system where- by farmers could set price levels for their products. Spring grain seeding is es- sentially completed in Hur- on County. Corn planting is progressing well with good conditions pre- vailing for the preparation of land. The backlog of plowing from the wet fall last year has been practically overcome. A significant number of beef and sheep have been turned out to grass. Warm weather and showers would allow for first rate grow- ing conditions for all crops. By MRS.

Mr. and Mrs. Ellis of London were Sunday visitors with Mr, and Mrs. Charlie Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Robt Clark and family of Toronto were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs, Clay- ton Smith. By MISS ELLA MORLOCK Sunday was the celebration of the 117th anniversary of Zion United Church. A fine crowd nearly filled the auditorium for the morning and evening ser- vices. The speaker, Dr. Anne Graham of Metropolitan United Church, London, chose as her morning theme "ANewChurch", calling attention to changes she felt a changing world would bring to programs of worship. In the evening she spoke on "They Couldn't Get Enough of Him", with reference to the thronging crowds around our Lord during His public ministry and our need to be involved with Him to day. Special music was provided by a male quartet from Calvary Memorial Church, Kitchener. Mr. Cal Simpson, Mr. Harry Brown, Mr. John Current and Mr. Harold Current comprise the group which sings under the name "Three Dads and a Lad".

The size varies slightly with the breeds. The floors slope slightly to the gutter bellied to allow urine to drain away. Research at the Ontario Agri- cultural College has found that there is a danger of prolapse Study need for 'vets' In an effort to resolve the shortage of veterinarians en- gaged in large animal practices in some areas of the province, a Large Animal. Practices com- mittee has been appointed to make a complete study of the situation, Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food, told the Ontario Legislature today. The committee, which will in- clude veterinarians and live- stock producers, will be headed by Dr. Harold Worton, Director of the Veterinary Services Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Food. The new committee will work closely with the Special Com- mittee on Farm Income to com- bat the scarcity and high cost of veterinary services in some areas of the province. The committee will survey all large animal practitioners in the province to analyze the cost of operating such a practice. Two other programs to help provide veterinary Services are already in effort. Bursaries are available to students at the On- tario Veterinary College who agree to spend a minimum of four years after graduation in large animal practice. In 15 areas of the province, in Northern Ontario and the Madawaska Val- ley in Eastern Ontario, grants are available to encourage settle- ment of veterinarians. A local committee is responsible for sec- uring a veterinarian. Grants make possible a‘standard rate regardless of the distance a farm- er may be from the veterinar- ian's office. Dr. Howard Patterson, Dir- ector pf the Department's Farm Economics, Co-operatives and Statistics Branch will help plan the proposed study. Livestock producers on the committee are; Andrew Stewart, Ailsa Craig, a hog farmer; Pres- ton Ralph, Kemptville, a dairy producer; Francis Walsh, Peter- borough, a beef feeder; and James Barrie, Galt, a beef and sheep producer. Now that the production season has started, there will doubtless be an occasional breakdown of a, 'farm machine. This delay is important during the week, particularly if the deal- er does not have the parts in stock. Usually, in such an emer- gency, he is able to get them the following day from the parts depot, says Hal Wright, Sec- retary-Manager, Ontario Farm Machinery Advisory Board. However, Saturdays and holi- days present a more serious problem. To prevent a delay of two to four days over a week- end, most major farm machinery parts depots have personnel available until noon on Saturday to handle emergency orders. Other personnel aro on call dur ing the afternoon. While express and truck trans- portation is not available over the weekend, the dealer can place a call for the emergency parts, and go himself to pick them up. A farmer cannot call in for parts himself, unless the dealer makes the call and makes arrangements for the farmer to pick up the parts. So, if the delay is serious, these emergency parts are avail- able through the cooperation of the parts depots. The Ontario Farm Machinery Advisory Board emphasizes that the service is for emergency parts only. Have depots supply parts in the sows if the floor slope a problem as there is enough is too great, Sufficient Space room in the stalla to permit should be made for a boar to some movement. They can be tied move behind the sows, daily, to continuously during gestation, check the sows for retveeclipg, and even when farrewing, in an- Exercise for the sows Is not other pen. Metal collars have proven to be the best. Two bars joined at the top and bottom will lock behind the sow's jaws without being too tight, Leather straps cause irritation when pulled tight enough to hold the soW. Farmers find that the stalls are cleaner and permit greater individual attention. Breeding re- cords can be kept more accur- ately and injury problems are less frequent, The sows are quieter, often after only a few hours of being tied, Cost of the stalls is low. Come parative prices show that tie stalls are as much as 50 eere cent less expensive than indiv- idual confinement or loose hous- ing systems. Some culling may be neces- sary due to feet and leg prob- lems, but these are usually found only in a very small percentage of the animals. Breeders have found that litter size and health is as good as in other sow man- agement methods. WOOL Realize the highest returns for your wool by patronizing your own Or- ganization.
