An Oasis of Truth
A friend of mine from a large
city in the Southwest recently
asked me why he should have
to do what is right and proper.
"After-all," he told me, ',Very
few people that I meet in my
everyday try to practice what
they preach, or what others
preach, so why should I?" He
stated also that times have
changed and many of the things
once thought of as wrong aren't
considered evil or wrong by the
people of this present day.
unfortunately, I informed
him, morality and truth do not
change from generation to gen-
eration. we, Many times, wish
these rules arid truths dldn't
exist, but the • fact is they do
and it IS up to each of us
try to live by' them. Just be-

something that is Wrong, doesn't
make it right. And the day

Several fields of barley in
Perth and. Huron counties appear,
to be infected with the organism
helminthosporium, causing a
disease known as "brown rot'?
of barley according to Pat
Lynch, soils and crop specia.
list in the two counties. The
organism attacks grasses and
in this case, barley that is slow
to emerge. In fact, any grow•
ing condition, such as a lowwet
spot in • the field, compacted
headlands, or wet cold weather,
is conducive to the spread of
the organism.
It causes the bottom leaves
of young barley to have a brown-
ish appearance. Many plants will
also have darker spots or
"blotches" on the bottom leaves.
At this point, there is nothing
that can be done to protect the
plants. If there is good growing
weather, the barley will pull out
of the condition - however, there
will be a reduction in yield. The
'amount of reduction will depend
upon the growing conditions that
exist between now and harvest
time.
The disease is transmitted by
seemingly good seed as well as
by discoloured, diseased seed and
it also can be spread by infected
stubble. If the disease is present
in barley fields this year, barley
should not be grown In the same
field next year Mr. Lynch warns.
The only sure way to prevent
occurrence of this disease next
year is. to treat barley seed with
a seed treatment such a vitaflo
or polyram, he said.
