Ontario's winter wheat crop looks great. Unfortunately severe damage occurred in some fields due to army worms, However, with application of NEW WINTER BARLEY—A new variety of winter barley named Huron is being grown as breeder seed by Kippen area farmer Bill Coleman. Above, Coleman is shown with the winter barley ready to be combined. T-A Photo pesticides by air, the damage was kept under control once the danger to the crop became known. Then with the severe prolonged wet weather in late June the army worm threat seems to have disappeared, but just in case of a re-occurrence farmers should keep a careful watch on spring grain crops. Recent reports indicate a sub- stantial increase in planted wheat acreage in Western Canada — up about 4 million acres over 1975. However, barley, oats and oil seeds crops are down from previous propos- ed and recommended acreage in- creases by the Federal Govern- ment. . The U.S.A. crop reports in- dicate a record corn crop coming along with a likely production of 6.4 billion bushels. Soybean acreage is down somewhat in the U,S.A. although export sales of soybeans look most promising, Russia has purchased a million metric tonnes of soybeans from one of North America's largest grain exporters. Western Europe, and par- ticularly England, are experien- cing the worst drought in record- ed weather history, going back some 249 years. Decisions will likely have to be made in those countries to either increase feed grain imports or reduce the livestock and poultry population as Russia did last year when fac- ed with less than anticipated grain production. The late planting of much of Ontario's corn crop due to the cold, wet period of late April and early May will likely result in reduced yields to what might have been expected had earlier planting been possible. But the warm weather of June, along with abundant rainfall is resulting in very rapid growth of corn — so possibly yields will be much better than expected. Much will depend on rainfall coming at the right time from now on and the absence of early fall frosts. Perhaps Western Ontario never had better prospects for spring grain crop yields. The hay crop has been heavy — but much will be lost, or at least badly damaged due to the wet weather of late June. Ontario normally produces about 7 million tons of hay annually. It is a crop that un- til recent years hasn't been given the attention it deserves as a source of excellent roughage and reasonably high protein if cut early and well preserved. Farmers who store their hay crop as haylage are usually more certain of getting the crop stored with a minimum of spoilage and with the preservation of the max- imum of protein content. And, of course, the earlier the crop is cut the more likely is the prospect of a heavier second crop. Much is being said these days about the establishment of a World Grain Reserve. The size of this reserve varies — suggestions range from 30 to 80 million metric tonnes. The pur- pose would be to have such reserves on hand in case weather was such in the large grain grow- ing and exporting areas of the world — chiefly North America and Australia — that normal yields reduced the possibility of maintaining exports to those countries dependent on us for food requirements. In Food Seminars there seems to be agreement that the proposal has much merit, but there has been little progresS made in determining who should pay for and control this vast quantity of grain. In past periods of world surpluses of grain it was generally the farmers who produced it who had to carry it. In the U.S.A, the Commodity Credit Corporation — a branch of the Federal U.S. Government — bought, paid for and stored much grain. However, the U.S.A. doesn't appear anxious to get back into that position again. Ob- viously such storage can involve billions of dollars, Naturally grain producer organizations view with some justifiable concern any move to create such an enormous stockpile of grain. They believe it could be used to depress world grain prices simply by those who wish to control the reserves threatening to unload the reserve supply. In today's high cost production economy grain growers are reluctant to place themselves in such an invidious position, They remember only too well being left to fend for themselves as best they could during the last grain surplus build-up. Peculiarly enough a world over-supply of rice is reported. Carry-over stocks are near the previous surplus records of the early '70s. Perhaps no grain crop is as important in feeding the world's hungry. The trouble is getting it to them — and getting it paid for. Criticism has been levelled at Canada's Federal Government for not providing enough assistance to world hunger relief. I do not share that criticism. Canada has con- tributed enormously both in dollars and in food aid. Canada has also provided technical assistance to developing coun- Anew strain of winter barley is being grown for the first time by three Ontario farmers, one from the Kippen area. Bill Coleman who resides at the westerly edge of Kippen and farms 200 acres is one of the three growing Huron, winter barley. The Huron variety was developed in 1974 by Dr, Ernie Reinberg of the University of Guelph. In the fall of 1974, Coleman along with Jim Jubenville of Tilbury and J. Rickert of Bowmanville received 25 pounds of Huron winter barley seed each. On the Coleman farm, the 25 pounds produced 65 bushels in the summer of 1975 and this in turn was planted on about 40 acres last fall. Coleman told the T-A Monday, "I expect to get about 70 bushels per acre, although the inspector suggested yields maybe over 80 bushels. Learn how to ride horse The Exeter 4-H horse and pony club held their second meeting at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Wilmer Preszcator. The meeting was on "How to ride your Horse for a horse- show." The 4-H members were to try and bring their horses. The members said the 4-H pledge. Wayne and Steve Preszcator demonstrated how to ride. After the demonstration all the 4-H members had to mount and ride one of the horses. Every member had to have one question which was answered by other 4-H members. June 25, members of the club enjoyed a wiener roast. Yamaha AVAILABLE AT COUNTRY CORNER MT. CARMEL — 237-3456 OPEN TILL 10 P.M. The Kippen farmer said he first became interested in the Huron variety at a Seed Crop Day in Elora, a few years ago.He con- tinued, "It looked like a good possibility. Ris greatest ad- vantage is the possibility of double cropping and it doesn't appear to suffer from winter-kill like other winter barley varieties tried before," Coleman said if the Huron barley is planted during the first few days of September it may be harvested to allow planting of sorghum, white beans and silage corn by June 20. The Huron barley will be used strictly for grain and not for malting and provides an early grain when other feeds are scarce. In addition to the 40 acre field of Huron barley this year, Coleman has grown another acre with 25 pounds of breeder seed' in a test plot. "This type of operation of growing seed in test plots creates_a lot more work and close scrutiny in culling out anything but the best of plants," added Coleman. It takes four years of development before certified seed is produced. The steps from breeder seed to certified include select and founder seed. In addition to his barley test plot this year, Coleman has one acre of Frederick wheat and two acres of Seafarer white beans. tries in helping them to help themselves. One must believe those who are knowledgeable on such matters, who, after spending time in developing countries, ad- vise us that food production potential is possible in such coun- tries. Yes, it will require finan- cial assistance and it will require people trained in production science and technology to go to ,those countries to help native people make use of the results of tropical and sub-tropical research already available. But it would seem such suggestions have much more merit than ever trying to grow enough grain in North America and Australia to feed the world. ' In the first place it couldn't physically be done and in the se- cond place there isn't much likelihood of funds being available to pay for the produc- tion, transportation and distribu- tion of such enormous quantities of food.
