Management of Forages - pasture, hay, haylage, silage will, be the feature topic. Advantages and dis- advantages of a pasture system or a dry-lot system will be discussed. Doug Cameron, Lucknow, will chair the programme. Jim Stoner, Goderich, will start the discussion rolling with an illustrated comment- ary, questioning .stocking rates, fencing systems, vari- ous species in relation to certain programs, emerg- ency pastures and related topics. Walter Renwick, Bel- more, will present inform- , ation about pastures he uses for sheep. Dr. Jack Winch, Crop Science Department, Univer- sity of Guelph, will have all the latest information about the best kind of forages for dry lot and pasture oper- ations. Of special interest are some of the new promising legumes and grasses. A number of these offer signif- icant advantages in product- ivity and palatability. There will be an opportun- ity for discussion and sharing of each others' experiences concerning pasture, semi= confinement or confinement management. —Don Ag. Rep. Corn head smut in Ontario With corn seed buying in progress, as we are well into the new year, farmers must make decisions on corn hy- brids to be purchased. This decision is affected by the new disease "Head Smut" observed for the first time in Ontario in the fall of 1979. The disease is especially important in the Norwich to Mt. Elgin area on Perth Silt Loam and Perth Clay Loam soils. A few isolated infected, fields were also detected: one at Fingal, one north of London at Bryariston and one near Shakespeare. While surveys are incomplete, the disease does not appear.to be widespread. If a field had no head smut in 1979 it is very unlikely to have any in 1980. Infested Corn seed is not considered the source of the current disease outbreak. The smut fungus is now believed to have existed for one or more years in Ontario but was not identified until September of 1979 when an alert farmer insisted his corn was seriously diseased and should be investigated. The head smut fungus can be spread by the black smut spores with combines, trucks tractors, and to some extent by wind. The disease will not spread rapidly, nor suddenly become severe within a field. Significant infestations of head smut, varying from 10 per cent to 35 per cent, have been found on only three hybrids. TheSe hybrids are Pioneer' 3975A, 3965 and 3978. A trace of Head Smut has been found in some other Pioneer hybrids. No hybrids from other companies have shown head smut, but this does not prove that others are resistant. Other hybrids may not have been planted in infested fields. • In the United States a Similar problem developed in Texas around 1975. By 1977 corn hybrids resistant to head smut were developed and in use. Therefore o a research program in Col- laboration with corn breeders from the Seed Corn Industry has been initiated. John Arts, Seaforth, will have an illustrated comment- ary about "Productivity of the Sow Herd - How We Do It." Huron farm news In most cases, a bolt breaks off at the edge of the hole and is very difficult to remove. Penetrating oil ap- plied around the broken bolt will help in freeing the threads. Heat applied to the metal around the bolt will also help free the threads. To remove a broken bolt, use the following procedures in the order given. If the first procedure is not successful, try the next one. Screw-Driver or Punch Method 1. Cut a narrow slot across the center of the broken bolt with a cold chisel. 2. Place the tip of a screw driver in the slot and try to back the bolt out of the hole. If the screw driver fails to turn the bolt, use a punch and hammer in an effort to loosen the bolt. Screw-Extractor Method Bolts that are too tight to be removed with a screw driver or punch can usually be removed with a screw extractor. Screw extractors have spiraled ,tapered flutes, which have a left-hand twist. They are sized by numbers ranging from No. 1 to No. 12. A set with sizes from No. 1 to No. 6 will remove all bolts from 3/1 6" to 1" and will Following a hot pork din- ner at noon, Jack Hagarty, Farm Management Special- ist, OMAF, has taken on the challenge of discussing how to make your operation pay with 16% interest. Dr. Tom Sanderson, List- owel Veterinary Clinic, will emphasize the topic about how healthy pigs pay. "New Tidbits for Profit- ability" or "Reinventing the Wheel" will be presented by Richard Smelski, Swine Specialist, Livestock Branch, OMAF. Other information avail- able to participants will include a Canfarm display with Garry Ball, Canfarm Representative, Gorrie; OMAF Factsheets and bul- letins; Basics for Breeding be satisfactory for most farmshop jobs. Refer to Table 5 for the proper-sized drill and extractor to use for removing different sizes of bolts and screws. Screw extractors can also be used for removing broken ends of small pipe from pipe fittings. The screw extractor has a square end on the shank and is turned with a regular tap wrench. Use the following procedure to remove. a broken bolt with a screw extractor. 1. Make a center-punch mark at the exact center of the broken bolt. 2. Select the proper-sized drill, Drill, a hole in the end of the bolt deep enough so that the small end of the screw extractor will touch the bot- tom when the bolt is re- moved. 3. Select the proper-sized screw extractor. Then insert the square in a tap. wrench. 4. Place the fluted end into the drilled hole in the bolt. 5. Apply firm, downward pressure on the tap Wrench, and turn' it counterclOckwise. The fluted edges of the screw extractor will grip the side of the hole and cause the bolt to back out of the hole. Note: Screw extractors are brittle because they are made of extremely hard steel, and will break if too much force is applied. If the extractor is broken, it can usually be removed if it is broken into small pieces with a narrow chisel or punch. Drilling Method Broken bolts that cannot be removed by the above procedures may be removed in the following manner. 1. Drill a hole completely through the bolt, using a drill slightly smaller than the root diameter of the bolt threads. This will leave a thin shell inside the threads. 2. Drive a sharp punch between the bolt threads and the bolt hole to pry the shell loose from the sides. 3. Remove the shell and other loose particles from the hole. 4. Select the proper size tap, and screw it into the hole to straighten the marred threads. Note: A broken bolt may also be removed by drilling with the proper sized twist drill so that the threads can be tapped one size larger than the original bolt. Salt Bradshaw, Eng.
