TICTORM and VG GREY TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 C.I. Stief. Branch Manager, Listowel Watch for extensive weevil damage Indications are that extensive i by the alfalfa weevil in a number 'damage to alfalfa will be caused, 1 of counties this year. Farmers should be checking their fields for 1 leaf injury and be prepared to take a control measure, says Karl Bereza, extension entomo- ' logist, Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food. While coolness and rain sup- pressed weevil activity earlier i this year, the periodic hot spells in the last two weeks of May !matured eggs rapidly. This is I now resulting in considerable I bud and top leaf injury by the , larvae (worms). Damage to alfalfa at the econ- ?omic level is expected to occur }during the week of June 5 in the seventeen counties west of Tor- ) onto, north of Lake Erie, and perhaps Prince Edward county. In other counties adjacent to 'Lake Ontario, peak larval feed- } ing and damage is expected during the week of June 12. While not all alfalfa fields in !these areas are expected to be !badly damaged, growers must lexa.mine their fields to see what /the situation is on their part- t icular farm. Weevil infestation Imay vary from year to year, ;farm to farm, and even from {field to field o n the same farm. I When one-quarter of the ;plants Ma field show feeding Idamage a control measure should lbe considered. Damaged plants ;should not be allowed to exceed 150 per cent, since yield loss !becomes excessive. Cutting the ?alfalfa in this percentage range its the recommended control !y measure. If the alfalfa is not ready to cut (first bloom) land the 25 to 50 per cent dam- !age level has been reached, the [farmer must decide whether to lcut regardless of growth attained or to spray. However, research lhas shown that it does not pay :to use chemical control unless !the forage stand is at least one- ;half alfalfa.

The Act also applies to any Ontario chartered subsidiaries of foreign owned corporations. Other recommendations in- cluded in the bill are: - Clear guidelines for per- formance of foreign industry and foreign controlled unions inCan- ada. - More prominent Canadian participation in new enterprises. - Discovery of means to increase Canadian equity part- icipation in all Canadian based enterprises. - Encouragement of portfolio rather than equity investment from foreign sources. The legislation is viewed as the Province's answer to the shortcomings of the federal leg- islation controlling foreign in- vestment in Canada. The Government has intro- duced two more regional gov- ernment bills. The Kitchener- Waterloo regional government bill will likely be debated next week. The new proposed regional government bill for Sudbury has also been introduced. Both areas have been under study for several years and the bills are a reflection of studies in the government's continuing programme of municipal reorg- anization. During discussion of the Esti- matet of the Department of Transportation and Communica- tion, the Minister informed the Committee that it wil 1 be at least another two or three weeks before the Department will be giving consideration to Supple- mentary Estimates. Many of the municipalities apply for money under the Sup- plementary Estimates to under- take a number of construction projects which were not able to be included initially because of the unavailability of grant money from the Province. The Depart- ment this year is operating on a very tight budget and there have I been some rather severe cuts ir in grant money available to the Counties and Municipalities.
