Mr. Lynch told the growers experts are still doing "a lot of guessing" about the white mould disease, which affects both white bean and soybean crops. He said research is increasing on problems associated with the disease organism. The crops specialist said sclerotic crop from infected plants into the soil and start Beginning this week, the Agricultural Office staff, Clinton, will present a regular weekly news column in the newspapers circulated in Huron County. We hope this column will be of benefit to county residents. Our objective is to cover current interest topics for the home and farm as well as announcing upcoming events. Your comments or suggestions concerning content and usefulness of news authored by our staff will be appreciated. Dry Cows A proper dry cow program means more profits for you by reducing the incidence of milk fever, retained placenta and mastitis. The nutrient requirements of dry cows are very dif- ferent from those of their milking herd mates, therefore, dry cows should be separated from the milking string and fed an entirely different ration if you hope to maximize on profits. Most dry cows tend to be too fat. Prevention of the "fat cow syndrome" can be accomplished by proper conditioning before drying off and feeding low energy rations composed mainly of hay or haylage. If corn silage is fed, it should be restricted to limit energy intake, since dry cows will -.fatten if of- the white mold system again in the next year's crop, He said crop rotation isn't the solution to the white mold problem since the black bodies (sclerotia ) can fered free choice corn silage. It is generally advisable to have at least half of the dry matter intake from a long, dry roughage such as hay, to stimulate the digestive tract and avoid displaced abomasum. Provided the cows are in good condition when dried off, no grain is required during most of the dry period, if roughages are of reasonable quality. With poor quality, late cut hay, 2-4 lbs. per head per day of a 14 percent protein grain mixture is recommended. The type of Wineral used depends on the roughage feeding program. Generally speaking, a high phosphorus mineral would be required, if the dry cow is consuming legume hay - however, if corn silage and dry hay were being fed, a 1,1 mineral would most likely be required. As with the milking herd, the ideal way to ensure that the dry cow ration is balanced for all- important nutrients is to request an analysis of the feeds and ration formulation based on the results.

Guidelines for Cooking Here are a few very basic guidelines to use when buying, cooking and storing your turkey this holiday season: • n n n n n n n cR CT& T01.0e004 remain in the soil for seven or eight years. He said the selerotia start producing mushroom-type heads early in May, Once the spores get into the air, they can tran- (a) How much to buy? Allow 1/2 to 3/4 lb. per person. (b) How long to thaw a frozen bird?-in the fridge (the preferable method if practical) 5 hours per pound; in cold water one hour per pound; at room temperature 11/2 hours per pound. Remember, once thawed, the turkey must be cooked within 24 hours to prevent bacterial growth and possible food poisoning. (c) How long to cook a whole turkey (stuffed or unstuffed) at 325 degrees fahrenheit (160 degrees celcius)? 8 pounds (3.6 kg) - 3 3/4 -41/2 hours 12 pounds (5.4 kg) - 43/4 -51/2 hours 16 pounds (7.2 kg) - 51/4 -6 hours 20 pounds (9.1 kg) - 53/4 -61/2 hours A meat thermometer registering an internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit (74 degrees celcius) will indicate the bird is "done". (d) How to store after cooking? -in the fridge if to be used within two days; or, in freezer for use within one to three months. IM- PORTANT: Leftover stuffing must be removed from the turkey immediately after cooking and can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.

He said resear- chers have found the spores. can travel up to a height pf seven miles in the at- mosphere. Mr. Lynch said in order for the spores to be produced initially, there has to be 10 days of wet soil. Once the spores are in the air,' they- drop on bean blossoms and start to grow,with the petals of the plants acting as nutrients for the disease. To start growing on the blossoms, the spores need about another three days of wet weather, Then they' produce fine little roots which infect the remainder of the bean plants. Mr. Lynch told producers by the time the white mould disease can been seen, it's too late to do anything, The crop specialist said between $140,000-$150,000 was spent on white mould control in this general area. He said 10 percent of the white bean growers were surveyed and most reported they didn't think spraying their crop with chemicals had done any good, but with the good yields, they felt they would spray again.

He said monitors must be developed for bean fields to tell growers the optimum time to apply fungicides to prevent the spread of white mould. Spraying advice He said research has shown the products registered to fight the disease should be sprayed about four feet above the ground, so the spray will get down in the plant to cover the , blossoms, He said tests done by researcher Ron Ritblado, of the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, on the use of aerial versus ground sprays to control white mould, suggested that ground spraying got better penetration into the crop, However, Mr. Lynch said these isn't enough ground- coverage equipment available to get around to all the white bean acreage, so growers will likely have to work with aerial spraying and be satisfied with a lower coverage, The crops specialist said if next year proves to be a wet season,the prime areas growers should be concerned about are fields that con- tained white mould in 1977 and 1979. Mr. Lynch told the growers until further research is completed, crops specialists will again be recommending a spraying program for bean crops. He said researchers in Michigan have developed some genes in new bean varieties which are showing a tolerance to the white bean mould. Mr. Lynch said researchers hope some type of tolerance can be bred into beans over the next five year period. He said the four common white bean varieties grown now have no tolerance for the white mould. He said two varieties now undergoing testing at the Harrow research station seem to show better tolerance, but their yield potential isn't kribwri yet ?°' He told growers the best time to spray is when. the bean plants are in blossom.
