The Ministry eof Tran , spar tation and Corn-, munications official are conducting the Ontario Bruce Railway Branch Line Rationalization Study together with CN Rail and CP Rail in consialation with 'the Canadian Transport Commission, The objective of the study is to ensure that' an economically viable rail and inter-modal network is place to serve the present and anticipated future freight transportation needs of the communities and industries in the midwestern Ontario - Bruce Peninsula area. Thii work is being un- dertaken in response to applications by CN and CP to abandon the trackage and freight service along the Walkerton Subdivision and Durham Spur and an- ticipated application by both railways for the aban- • donment of additional lines in the area. The 'study will make a comprehensive evaluation of those rail lines which serve the area including the CNR branch lines from High Park to Clinton Junction and from Stratford to Goderich and the CP Rail Branch Line from Guelph to Goderich. The Ministry is taking a prominent role in the study to ensure that a viable network is in place to best suit the transportation needs efline area oftthe Province, once the fact fihding stage of „ the 'study is complete. The Ministry officials intend to hold several informal public meetings in the area. This will enable the Ministry to present the findings of the study and receive comments from local interested parties and municipal councils.

' Ontario Ministry•of 'Agriculture and Food Your corn is sure wowing now. You can almost see it growing. That bindweed is also. In fact, it's well into flower. At this stage, it is translocating from the leaves to the roots, During flowering is the best time to, kill it. You can use Kilmor or a mix of 2,4-D Dicamba for this job, However, these products must be applied no later than 2 weeks prior to silking and tasseling. Some early corn is going to be tasseling by the first week of August. This early corn is going to be tasseling by the first week of August. This; early corn should not be sprayed later than July 15th. We have seen damage when hormone herbicides are applied too late to corn. The chemical destroys part of the silk and interferes with pollination. You end up with some barren areas on the corn cobs. And don't be in a hurry spraying these hor- mones. Drop pipes are used so that chemical will not get into the whorl of the corn plant. However, if you go zipping through a, corn field with those drop pipes flopping all over the place, you will get daMage, Some of the her- bicide will get into the whorl, Take your time! We get phone calls And in the past 2 weeks, one of, the most common calls- has ,• been about horse- tail. That's that little plant that looks like a pine tree. In most. areas of Perth and Huron, it is becoming worse each year. Sauffer Chemicals have some plots in corn at the farm of Don and Matt Crowley in Ellice Township to try to control horse,tail. However, none seem to be too effective, Horsetail is best controlled with MCPA. However, MCPA can only be used on grain crops. You can burn it off in corn with Atrazine and oil or Linuron and oil. But it will come back. This is because you only burn off the 5 perpent that's above 'ground. About 95 percent of the plant is below ground, About 50 percent of the plant is 20" below ground. Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology in Eastern Ontario has been researching this weed for some time. In one of their trials, they burned it off with chemicals, hoed it out all summer in some plots and let it grow in other plots. Their highest corn yield came where they left it alone. 'In most of the corn fields that I see, the horsetail is really only a nuisance. It is not causing a yield redue- tion. However, I saw some atLaurence Taylor's in Hullett Township in Huron County .last week. In some areas it did appear that the horsetail was suppressing the corn, • We are trying to control it in a hay field at Arie Van- derschot's. We will kill the alfalfa in spots where the norsetail is, but we hope to clean up the horsetail. We will keep you informed. In the meantime, you can. be reassured of some things - the first is there is nothing you can do ,..bout the nveed. Secondly, it's probably not doing any damage. Thirdly, if we find a way of con- trolling it, you will be the first that we will tell. • Pat Lynch, Soil and Crops Specialist for Huron and Perth Don'Pullen, Agricultural Representative 4-H homemaking club achievement programs 4-H members in Huron County are participating in a very new and different club project this year - Outdoor living, This involves first aid and safety, being fit to enjoy the out-of-doors, and bar- becuing. The highlight of the club is an "1 outing for all members to enjoy our County. There will be new leisure time activity for many members too, as they are learning to press plant material and make notepaper, candles, placemats, ete, from it. The final wrap-up for the project will take the form of achievement Days to be held in various communities throughout the County. I. would like to, extend an in- vitation for everyone to come to these programs.

Outdoor living is a very enjoyable way to spend the merrier Months.. Come along and let the 4-11-mern- . hers of Huron County shoW you how much fun it is, Grate Bird, Horne economist municipalities and in- dustries in the area. Cora' 01,eW should be directed to George Gera s Economic Polley Office, Ministry of Transportation and communications, net Wilson Avenue, DeWnSVieW, Ontario M318/1 1J8. These comments should reach Mr. Gera prior to July 31, 1980. I hope that individual citizens groups and govern- ment representatives of the Huron Middlesex Riding will take this opportunity to assist members of the study group in determining the future freight rail needs of rnidwestern Ontario. An Ontario Task Force on Provincial Rail Policy has also been, established to examine in depth the future role of rail in the Province's integrated transportation system. Its goal is to provide a provincial prospective on rail transportation in the Province and to examine the existing system identifying changes required for the effective movement of people and goods as a means of enhancing the social and economic development of Ontario. The global per- spective of this undertaking is in contrast to the specific perspective of the Bruce study. According to a publication of, the Grocery Products Manufactures of Canada,, Canadians, are spending no more of their income on food in 1980 than they did 10 years ago despite inflation. Incomes over the decade have risen faster than food prices. Canadians still spent less of their disposable in- come on food than the citizens of any country ex- cept the United States. Canadians spent just over 13 per cent of their income on AGRICULTURAL GRAD Pouf Miller, son of cliff and Margaret Miller, RR 2, Staf- fs, graduated June 6, from University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics and Rural Development. 'Paul is returning to the faniily farm. food t home in 1979. When you CPunt in money spent on food away from home (and Canadians are now eating, one out of every three meals outside the nOrrie) the average total expenditure was 17.3 per cent of disposable income, Only in the United States do con- sumers spend less of their income on food r about 12% percent at home in 1979 and 10.1 per -cent altogether. While food costs are a. continuing concern Canadian consumers are in a Much better position, than consumers in most other countries and we should be made more aware of the very positive position in which we find ourselves. The Grocery Products Manufacturing Industry in concert with prOdUcers and distributors have done an outstanding job in delivering an abundant and highly nutritious food supply to Canadians at reasonable cost under !difficult con- ditions. Amendments to the Farm Improvement Loans Act had speedy passage through Parliament, The Act was due to expire June 30th. It has now received Royal Assent for a three year renewal with the amount any borrower may have outstanding at any one time, raised from $75,000 to $100,000. Under the Act the Federal Government guarantees loans to farmers by Char- tered Banks and other designated lending in- stitutions for a wide range of Staffa 4-H in exchange By MRS. J. TEMPLEMAN Fifteen 4-H members from BonAccord Alberta arrived in Perth County this past week for a twelve day visit, Visiting in this area are Lianna West who is a guest of Anne Jefferson; Susan arleton, who is a guest of Janice, Vivian; and Joyce Rockwell who is a guest of Barbara Templeinan. Among the. activities enjoyed was a welcoming party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Vivian and a bus trip to Niagara Falls and Ontario Place. - A farewell party is planned for Thursday evening at the home of John Van Moorsel, Bornholm, Mrs, Ron Miller and baby son have arrived home from Stratford hospital. Christena Miller holidayed with her grandparents, Mr, and Mrs. Lloyd Miller. 'Mr, and Mrs, Rob Tern- pleman,Carrah and Cain, Mr. and Mrs. John Tem- pleman and family, Joyce Rockwell, 'Bon Accord, Alberta, Joan Dietrich, Mitchell, Hank Bertens, Russeldale were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Martyn and girls at Wild- wood, farm unProVereents- These include purchase of ad- ditional farm land, fencing and drainage, construction of new buildings, buying of machinery and livestock and major repairs to barns and equipment, Most loans are repayable over a ten year period but a fifteen year term is per.- mated for purchases of additional land. The maximum rate , of interest. on Farm Improvement-Loans is based on the prime lending rate of the Chartered Bank plus one Per cent. In the first quarter of 1980 loans totalling $41.2 million were made under the Farm Improvement Loans Act. Since the Legislation was introduced in 1945, the Government has guaranteed more than $4,2 billion in loans to help farmers expand and improve their operations. *Advocate, July lea, 90 e Cancer can be beateni CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY huron farm and home news A .groat nein', general purpose tractor imtn the Tractor Spaciatist carA, 1497 osiers lie t.Ate,311.
