Some wheat .fields
suffer severe losses
By DOUG JAMIESON
Lodging of winter wheat has
been a major problem in several
areas of Huron and adjoinin
counties this steamer. In mos
cases this has been the result of
stems rotting at ground level,
although in several fields heavy
rains or wind have been the
cause.
Foot Rot, also known as
Culm Rot, Eyespot or
Strawbreaker Disease, is caused
by a soil-living fungus,
Cercosporella herpotrichoides.
Severe lodging of winter
wheat during the latter part of
the growing season is the most
conspicuous symptom of the
disease. It causes the plants to
fall in .a criss cross manner
usually with no directional
pattern unless high winds are
also involved.
The lower leaves of the
affected plants turn brown and
the base of the stem is often
twisted and rotten in
appearance. They also may be
shorter than normal and have
shorter heads which do not fill
properly.
The result is poor quality
shrunken kernels at harvest and
deceased yields, Fields inspected
this year show varying degrees of
damage, ranging up to 75% loss,
Losses appear to be heaviest in
early planted fields while wheat
planted in mid to late September
show little damage.
The fungus lives on crop
residue in the soil and attacks
winter wheat, winter barley and
forage grasses. Spring sown
grains, beans and corn are not
affected,
Crop rotation is the most
effective control known. Winter
wheat or winter barley should be
spaced at least three years apart.
Legumes such as alfalfa, clover
or beans should be included in
the rotation.
Wheat straw should be
completely covered by plowing
to reduce the level of disease in
succeeding years. The seeding
rate can be reduced to promote
stronger plants which are more
resistant to lodging.

throughout Ontario.
Conference organizers hoped
to provide the teenagers with the
opportunities to explore a
university, and to meet other
4-H'ers in free discussion.
Suggested topics of discussion
included bilingualism, rebellion
among youth, and the future of
4-H. However, flexibility was the
only rule. Delegates were
encouraged to discuss whatever
interested them.
Delegates attended from the
counties of Middlesex, Elgin,
Lambton, Kent and Essex.
Attending from the northern
portion of Middlesex were Gary
Thompson, Ann Brebner, Ted
Bannister and Judith Thompson,
all of Parkhill; Benny Harrigan
and John Dewan, Lucan; Jim
Elliott and Ken McCutcheon of
Thorndale and Tom Harris of

Safety week set
for July 20-26
National Farm Safety Week
has been set for July 20 to 26.
According to the Canada Safety
Council, accidents among
Canadian farmers are
considerably higher than the
national average.
The Royal Commission on
Farm Machinery states that the
farm machinery fatalities per
100,000 farmers doubled
between 1956 and 1966. During
this same period the farm
population was reduced by
about 20 percent. Mechanization
since then has increased by 20 to
50 percent, depending on the
kind of machines.
Farmers in Huron County
have the opportunity to attend a
twilight crop program on
Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m. at
the farm of John Hazlett.
At the Hazlett farm located
11/4 miles east of Benmiller a
variety of tests and
demonstrations will be held.
Doug McNeil, RR 6,
Goderich, a Huron Crop and Soil
director, will be the chairman
for the evening program and will
be calling on a number of
visiting agrologists to explain the
various cereal and field crop
demonstrations.
Farmers will be able to look
at the results of early and late
barley seeding, herbicide and
variety trials and new varieties of
barley and wheat.
Also included will be trefoil
and fertility demonstrations.
Others in attendance will be
Howard Laing, a crop and soils
specialist and Doug Jamieson of
the Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology staff.
Refreshments will be served
during the evening.

summer threat
Bacterial food poisoning
strikes silently, often causing no
change in the taste, odor or
texture of foods. Yet with a few
simple precautions, food experts
at Macdonald Institute,
University of Guelph, say this
hidden enemy can be avoided.
Bacteria that cause food
poisoning thrive at temperatures
above 45 degrees F, which is
higher than your refrigerator
temperature. Hence, the best
control is quick and efficient
refrigeration of all food, On
picnics or outings, food should
be kept ice cold and covered
until ready to use.
Foods especially susceptible
are cured ham, dairy products,
custard and cream-filled bakery
products, mayonnaise salads,
bread stuffing and poultry.

referring to the visit to the farm
of Vern Alderdice near Kippen
where cash crops are a speciality.
He added that barley production
on the Alderdice farm compared
favourably with that of Danish
farms.
John Burke of Exeter,
Director of Sales for U.S.A. said,
"After visiting many agricultural
areas in U.S.A. and Europe, he
was proud to show the visitors
the outstanding agricultural
achievements of South Huron."
All members of Kongskilde
were unanimous in praise for the
organizers of the farm tours, the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food and in
particular, Chairman Don
McArthur of Centralia College of
Agriculture. John Burke-
summed up by saying, "The tour
was well planned showing the
precise picture of farm
procedures and costs of
production."
Doug Stringer of Renfrew,
Kongskilde's Director of Sales
for Canada said he was pleased
to co-operate with American
personnel in sales planning for
the first time. He added that the
latest statistics indicate a healthy
increase in farm implement sales
during the coming 12 months.
In order to show visitors form
the southern parts of U.S.A.,
that they were welcome, a
confederate flu was flown at
Kongskilde, and subsequently at
the home of John Burke on
Main Street. Only one local
citizen apparently paid any
attention to the flag and asked

All crops are tieing well but a
good warm rain would help.
Most farmers are finished haying
or are nearing completion. There
is plenty of hay and it appears to
be of good quality.
The spring grains are all
headed out and like the beans
could use same rain. The
diseases mentioned last week are
not big problems arid their
incidence is scattered. The root
rot disease in beans is caused by
the cool wet conditions in June,
such that now the roots have
rotted and the plant turns
yellow.
The incidents reported have
been relatively treall and
scattered. The wheat problem is
a strnwbreaker diseate, Again the
number of cases have been small
and mostly in the Kipper' area,
There is More about this in the
press release ef Mr. ID,
Jernieeon.
Kongskilde Limited, last
week, held the first joint sales
meetings in its history at their
premises in Exeter, attending
were sales representatives from
Canada and U.S.A.
Mike Darbishire, President
and General Manager, remarked
on the important milestone this
represented in the expansion of
this local Farm Equipment
Company. "The determination
of local personnel to place
Exeter truly on the North
American Industrial map and the
enthusiastic reception of the
Triple K Tillage System by many
of the farming industry in the
U.S.A. has made this possible,"
said Darbishire.
"Production at our plant in
Exeter is on the increase and
whilst to some degree, we are
known as importers from
Europe, it is pleasing and
important that the public realize
our efforts to generate exports
from Canada to the U.S.A."
Kongskilde Limited, one of
seven subsidiary companies in
the Kongskilde Group, is
responsible for the North
American market. This means
two of the 52 countries in which
the Kongskilde Group is involved.
Attending in Exeter were
Larry Judge and Greg Scheetz,
both from Memphis, Tennessee
with responsibilities as Regional
Sales Representatives for south
central U.S.A., comprising of the
Mississippi Delta region. Scheetz
remarked on the cool Canadian
summer (85 degrees F), having
left Memphis where the
temperature was 104 degrees F.
Larry Judge stated, "I cannot
visualize this area covered with
snow. I should like to spend a
Christmas holiday here and do
some skiing and skidooing. I was
impressed with the flat
productive land which is similar
to Arkansas where agricultural
techniques appear to be the
same,"
Peter Gregersen, originally
from Hammel, Denmark, with
responsibilities for market
development, particularly in
U.S.A., this last year has
established the Triple K market
in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and
Montana with the able assistance
of Randy Weber of Exeter.
Fortunately, the meeting
agenda allowed time for the
visitors to participate in the
Farm and Home Management
Tour at several Huron county
farmers' premises. Peter
Gregersen remarked that similar
agricultural tours would be
beneficial to American farmers
and said, "We nianttfaeture
