Times-Adv9cato, 41)1 17, 1909 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. 100 attend July meet products manager; Peter Gregersen, market development and Gunnar Pind, assistant general manager.

About 100 fifteen year-olds attended the second of eight Regional Conferences which will be held at various universities 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 Bryanston.

GERALD SHANTZ Sales & Service 236-4036 Zurich 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. One? Two? Three? Food poisoning You need three types of interest-bearing savings. A chequing savings account at 4%. A savings account at 61/2%— no cheques but you can withdraw at any time. Guaranteed Investment Certificates at 81/4%. VICTORIA and GREY 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. VG 'TRUST COMPANV SINCE lees 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 etaft Reflopie 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 Several items that would enhance Operations like those on the Alderdice farm," He was
