The Canada DPPartment of
Agriculture has offered the full
cooperation of its researchers,
to help southwestern Ontario
farmers whose crops were dam-
aged by recent frosts.
The offer follows a tour of
frost-damaged crops by Agricul-
ture Minister II. A. (Bud) Olson
on Friday. Mr. Olson met with
more than 300 farmers, farm
organization representatives and
municipal representatives in St.
Thomas on Friday to discuss the
situation. Reeve Charlie. Thomas
of Grey Township was, among
those attending the meeting and
reviewed the problem in Huron
riding with the minister.
"The decisions for individ-
ual farmers will be difficult,
especially as to whether they
should sit tight and wait for
crops to recover, or rip up
fields and replant," he said.
"We cannot make this de-
cision for the farmer, but we
can provide the best information
available from our experience
and research.
"During the tour and public
meeting, I was pleased to note
that provincial extension people
have offered to visit farmers
and to inspect their damaged
fields to help them determine
the best course of action.
"I have instructed our re-
search officers and Research
Stations in the area to give top
priority to cooperation with these
provincial extension people,"
Mr. Olson said.
The Research Branch sug-
gests the following general guide-
lines for corn and winter wheat:
CORN - If the growing point
was still below the .ground when
the frost hit, the crop will re-
cover. The vast majority of frost-
damaged corn falls into this cat-
egory. The growing point is gen-
erally still below ground when
the crop is less than six inches
tall.
These frost-damaged plants
will mature later, will produce
a shorter stalk and the yield
will be slightly lower.
In fields where frost dam-
age was spotty, harvest may be
delayed slightly until these frost-
'damaged plants mature.
In general, the frost damage
to corn is not great enough to
warrant reseeding, particularly
in areas where soil moisture is
already low.
If in doubt, contact your near-
est federal government Research.
Station or ask the provincial ex--
tension person in your area for
an inspection and advice.
WINTER WHEAT - Some fields
suffered frost damage in the
bloom stage, This could Prevent
seed set.
In general, if less than half
of the set in the wheat head
has been wiped out by frost,"the
crop should be left to mature.
The percentage of seed set
can be determined by examining
the heads about a week from now.
The alternatives are gener-
ally to:
leave the crop to mature
aria harvest as normal.
- harvest the crop as hay or
silage. If the crop is harvested
as silage, any grain that does
set will increase the feed value
and harvesting should be delayed
to the point where the maximum
energy has been developed.
- rip up the crop and plant
another. Reseeding to corn could
prove risky for two reasons: the,
winter wheat will already have
used up substantial moisture re-
serves and this will reduce corn
yields, and late planting for corn
will add the risk of losing yields
to fall frosts and wet harvest
conditions. Sorghum-sudan is an
alternative crop for late seed-
ing.
There are few winter wheat
fields that were alztady past
the seed set stage whe n the
frost hit, so quality damage will
not likely be an important fac-
tor.
The department suggested
that if a farmer is in doubt,
contact your nearest federal gov-
ernment Research Station or ask
the provincial extension person
in your area for an inspection
;and advice.
Meetings will be arranged
where farmers can ask federal
government research officers
questions about their crops. Pla-
ces and times will be announced
soon.
