' THE BRUSSELS POST, AUGUST 16, 1978 — 113
Bean day is Tuesday
By Pat Lynch
and Mike Miller
Field bindweed is best]
controlled when it is in
flower. During this stage, the
plant is translocating from
the leaves to the root.
Chemicals, applied at this
time, are also translocated to
the root.
Corn is best suited for
bindweed control. However,
bin dWeecl can be controlled
in grain stubble if the
conditions are right. If we
receive adequate moisture in
August, the bindweed plant
may have sufficient regrowth
.to give some control. The
amount of control will de-

and breed on the first heat
after that time. There is little
benefit to allow a well grown
gilt 2 or 3 heat cycles before
breeding. There will be an
increase in litter size up to
about the fifth litter followed
by a gradual decrease with
age. (iii) Nutrition - A
balanced ration is essential if
maximum fertility is to be
obtained. Sows and gilts
should not be allowed to .
become too fat prior to
breeding. Increasing the
energy intake of gilts for 1 or
2 weeks prior to heat will
sometimes stimulate an in-
crease in ovulation rate or
the number of ova capable of
being fertilized. At breeding,
the amount of feed should be
cut back to 4 - 5 lbs. of a 14
per cent ration. (iv) Time of
pend on the amount of bloom
at spraying. This bindweed
regrowth could be sprayed
by late August if the plants
are actively growing. This
would allow time for trans-
location of the . chemical
before the plant goes
dormant- in mid-September.
Fall ploughing could occur 2
to 3 weeks after application
of the chemical.
The chemical to use is
either Kilmor or a mixture of
2,4-D plus Dicamba. None of
these herbicides will give 100
pet cent control but will
reduce the stand for next
year.
Ontario. Bean Day will be
held on. Tuesday, August
22nd at 1Q a.m. at the
Centralia College of Agri-
cultural Technology. The
program will include a tour of
the research plots, This will
be from 10 to 12 a.m. and
repeated from 1:30 - 3:00

Cauliflower is
now a
Huron crop
Huron County's first com-
mercially grown crop of
cauliflower is now being
harvested near Exeter.
Len Veri, who planted 175
acres of the crop this spring,
said the crop is in excellent,
condition.
The grower had hired 50
workers to help harvest the
crop and package it for
marketing.
Mr. Veri said the demand
fOr the crop is good.
The grower will also start
harvesting his pepper crop
this week, but the recent cool
nights mean the crop hasn't
done as well as the
cauliflower crop.

Litter size is a key factor in
determining the profitability
of any weaner operation. If
comparing a litter of 10
piglets and one of 6, the
expenses for both litters are
relatively close but there is a
large difference in. the rev-
enue generated from their
sale.
(i) Breeds and Breeding -
There.is a definite difference
in the' number of eggs
ovulated and mothering
ability between breeds. Re-
search indicates a York x
Landrace crossbred• to be one
of the best commercial comb-
inations for litter size and
mothering ability. (ii) Age
and Weight at Breeding -
Producers should attempt to
have gilts up to about 240
lbs. by 61/2 months of age
Huron farm news
Insemination - The egg has
an effective life span of only
4 - 6 hours and it is important
to have viable sperm present
when ovulation occurs. In
order to ensure that this
happens, it is best to breed
the sow twice, 18 - 24 hours
apart. (v) Environment - The
breeding area should be kept
relatively cool and have
adequate lighting. Sows
seem to perform best and
heat detection is easier if in
small groups in close pros--
imity to the boar rather than
in individual stalls until after
thy are bred. (yi) Disease -
Various disease organisms
can be associated with poor
fertility.. If disease is sus-
pected, you should contact
your local veterinarian.
