spraying? No, The spray is a
preventative control, The
spray must be on the foliage
before the white mould
spores land on the plants.
The only guidance we can
give is that if you spray and
it turns wet, you have
received 10 days of
protection. If you spray and
it turns dry, the disease will
not develop. Then you will
have a real good crop of
beans and can afford the
spray. We agree it is a very
poor way to make a
recommendation. However,
until we can get more
research funds for this
problem ' our method of.
making recommendatioris
will not change.
If you decide to spray,
there are a number of
products that can be used.
One year of research has
pointed out that to, date
Benlate and Easeout are the
preferred products. Both can
be applied with ground or
aerial equipment. The total
cost of spray acre is about
$18. for chemical and $5 for
application.
Alfalfa Research
At the recent alfalfa
meeting, Guelph Professor
Bob Fulkerson., brought out
several points in regard to
alfalfa management. Potash
is vital to maintain a stand
and to produce yield. Often
it's applied tot' late. Ideally,
it should be spread by mid
August so that it has a
chance to be taken up by the
plant before the fall rest
period.
It could take 500 to 600 lbs.
of actual potash to replace
the potash taken out in a
normal crop year. The soil
can replenish at least one-
half of this amount. The rest
must come from commercial
fertilizer, Clay soils
naturally produce more
potash each year than
lighter soils.
At Guelph, a good top is a
most important factor in
winter survival. Soil tem-
perature is warmer around a
plant with a good top. Top
growth also provides a
channel for the escape of
toxic gases which ac-
cumulate under the snow.
However, it's wrong for us to
expect a stand to last
forever. We should be ready
to plow after we've taken one
cutting in the seedling year
and three cuttings in each of
the next three years.

He left London by plane on
July 14 and flew to Regina
and then on to the host
family farm of John and
Mary Vilcu, Griffin,
Saskatchewan. They have
one of their four sons,
Wayne, 23, still at home on
the farm.
The Dashwood youth
helped out on the farm
during his stay. The
operation includes 200 head
of beef cattle, a few pigs and
a flock of geese, chickens
and turkeys.
During his month in the
west, Ron visited the
Estevan power station,
Cannington Manor Historic
choice. His reason was
simply economics. The
coating didn't seem to have
much value and coated seed
was more costly, It would
have taken 14 lbs. of coated
seed per acre to equal the
101bs. of uncoated seed that
John VanderEyk used on his
field,
The rate of seed to use
might vary from farm to
farm. Heavier seeding rates
were needed on heavy soils,
like the Haldimand clay near
Cayuga. There was no need
to go to heavy seeding rates
if one could get stands with
lower rates. It is much easier
to get good seedling stands if
the soils have been built up
because of fertilizer applied
previously on a corn crop.
The Guelph Professor
admitted that he wasn't too
keen on spraying legume
seedlings. Even Embutox set
the crop back and sometimes
the weeds weren't advanced
enough to be controlled,
In looking to the future, he
predicted more concern with
insect damage on alfalfa
especially aphids. Potato
Leaf Hopper was a problem
last year. Insect problems
have been less in 1979
because of the cooler
weather.
He also expected to see
Verticilium Wilt make an
appearance in Ontario in the
near future.
Army worm
not here yet
While farmers in other
parts of Ontario may be
experiencing problems with
the dreaded army worm, the
situation is well under
control in Huron county.
Don Pullen of the Clinton
office of the ministry of
agriculture and food said
there have been reports of
the worm from the Dash-
wood-Zurich area but that
"It's not been a great
problem at all."
The area to the north of
Stratford has been hit by the
army worms but the
reports from Huron do not
indicate that spraying is
needed. Pullen said spraying
is not conducted unless there
are about five worms per
square foot.
The caterpillars while
preferring grain crops will
move into other produce if
there's no grain present,
Pullen said.
Park and a colony of Hut-
terites.
Ron was quite impressed
and classed his trip as a very
worthwhile and educational
experience and would be
happy to talk to anyone in-
terested.
The area local hosted
Perry Larnenurier of
Athabasca, Alberta. His host
home was at Jack and Jean
Ford's Dashwood.
He was quite impressed
with this province, in-
dicating it was not unlike his
own area of Alberta where
there are trees and rolling
land. Their main farming is
rape seed, grain and hay and
they have a feedlot of cattle
and 1200 acres of land.
Mr. and Mrs. Ford showed
the youth a large section of
Northern Ontario on a tour
and their sons drove him
many miles in this area.
