How to make pants that really fit
eee
1981
Are you tired of not being
able to buy a pair of pants
that fit properly? Do you
begrudge spending the mon-
ey on expensive pants? Have
you always wanted to learn
how to make a pair of pants
that really fit but don't want
them to look like you made
them? Then this course may
be just for you! The "Pants,
Fitting and Sewing" course
offered by the Ontario Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food
emphasizes the steps of
measuring yourself correctly,
buying the right pattern,
alterations, making a muslin
and finally making a pair of
pants that fit you.
Since the final product is
going to be a pair of pants
"custom made," individual
attention throughout the
course is necessary. Thus the
enrolment in each will be
restricted to 14 people. You
are strongly urged to re-
spond quickly if you are
interested in participating in
this program, as enrolment
will be on a first come, first
servedibasis. Three courses
will be held throughout
March and April in Huron
County - one in Gorrie,
Clinton and Exeter. Each
course will consist of three
sessions - the first will be a
half day, the other two a full
day. For more information
and to place your name on
the participant's list, phone
the Home Economist at
Zenith 7-3040 (south and
central areas of Huron),
Zenith 3-3190 (north) and
482-3428 from the Clinton
area.

HERBICIDES IN NEW
CONTAINERS
This spring, when you go
to buy herbicides, you will
find a difference. Many will
come in metric containers
with the application rates in
metric units. All herbicides
packaged this year, by law,
must be in metric units. In
fact some of the suppliers
were selling metric herbicid-
es last year. So what to do?
First of all, please do not
chew out your supplier or the
person at the counter, or me
for this happening. If metric
upsets you, go outside some-
where and yell. Get it out of
your system. It will do more
good than complaining about
metric. At least, you will get
rid of some of your frustra-
tions.
Now you are ready to
The market at Brussels

steers averaging 1180 lbs.
selling for an overall price of

A steer consigned by Map-
approach metrics with an
attitude of "It's here. I have
to accept it!" Once you take
this attitude, metrics are
easy. This attitude and three
simple calculations: To
change acres to hectares
multiply by .4. To change
lbs./acre to kg/ha multiply
by 1.12. To convert
pints/acre to litres/hectare
multiply by 1.4.
Thus, 12 acres x .4 = 4.8
hectares. 2 lbs./acre x 1.12
2.24 kg/hectare.
le Emblem Farms of Dun-
gannon weighing 1160 lbs.
sold for 81.75 with their load
of 43 steers averaging 1200
lbs. selling for an overall
price of 78.80.
A steer consigned by Alex
Hammon of RR1, Monkton
weighing 1290 lbs. sold for

Two steers consigned by
Percy Dalton of Walton aver-
aging 1245 lbs. sold for 79.80
with his load of 18 steers
averaging 1224 lbs. selling
for an overall price of 78.90.
Forty-one steers consigned
by Knight Bros. of Brussels
averaging 1197 lbs. sold for
an overall price of 78.70.
Twenty-four steers con-
3 pints/ acre x 1,4 = 4.2
litres/hectare.
Knowing these figures,
now you convert your fields
or crop acres to hectares.
You also convert the number
of acres your sprayer does to
hectares. Supposing you
have 40 acres of corn, Now
you have 16 hectares. The
bag says you need 2.5
kg/hectare of a herbicide.
Now you must purchase 16 x
2.5 = 40 kg of herbicides.
When you you get home,

Choice Heifers-75.00 to
78.00 with sales to 82.75.
Choice Cows-55.00 to
59.00

30 to 40 lb. pigs to a high
of 31.50.
40 to 50 lb. pigs traded to a
high of 38.50.
50 to 60 lb. pigs to a high
of 50.50.
60 to 70 lb. pigs to a high
of 55.50.
70 to 80 lb. pigs to a high
of 58.50.
you ,know your sprayer does
12/tank. Now it does 12 x .4
= 4.8 hectares/tank. The
rate of herbicides is 2.5
kg/hectare. Now you dump
in 4.8 x 2.5 = 12 kg/tank.
The key to all this is first
know how many hectares
each sprayer tank does (with
each set of nozzles. ) Write
this number down. Also, it
will help you if you work out
these calculations this wint-
er. Suppose you know you
will be using atrazine this
year. You can work out this
winter how much you should
dump in each time, and how
much spray you will need.
Don't leave it until next
spring when you're getting
the sprayer out. We will
gladly help anyone this win-
ter to calculate these rates.
Next spring we can only talk
to so many people a day.
