The meeting. was composed of resear- chers, industry people and Extension people, A representative from. Chimagro - which is the company with the main corn. borer insecticides sum- med it up. "We don't have a corn borer problem, we've got a stalk rot problem", They indicated that from what they saw, they wouldn't be actively promoting .corn borer control for 1981, However, they would probably be doing some preliminary trials to look at the economics of control. How bad was the borer in 1980? From what we can gather, there were no more adults around than normal. The canners at Exeter monitor corn borer adults. Their results show that in the Exeter area they had an average number. In the Stratford area, there was below average number. At both places, the numbers were substantially less than in 1978 and 1976. While the adult number was small, there may have been more egg laying than normal. The female adult Federation looks ahead The focus of the December 4 monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture will be "Looking Ahead to 1981". It will be held at 8:30 p.m. at the Belgrave Public School. The new president, Gerry For- tune, a dairy farmer from Turnberry Township will preside. The meeting will be a workshop to plan activities, share concerns and discuss policies for the coming year. Issues such as the new regulations for gravel pits, possible Hydro corridor through Huron and the continuing problem of foreign ownership will be discussed. Two new committes have been formed for this year; Absentee foreign Ownership and Young Farmers. The Please turn to 7A will' vary her egg laying capacity in relation te. available moisture. If there is lets of water available for her to drink during the egg. laying, period, she lays more eggs. This year there was. lots. of moist(ire available during egg laying,. time. Why did some fields appear worse than others I certainly don't have all the explanations, but we have. parts of the answers. For instance, young corn plants produce a chemical. called. dimboa. This chemical kills small borers then they start to feed. When. the corn plant is small, this. chemical is in concentrated quantities in the plant, The older the plant gets, the more diluted this chemical is, thus earlier planted corn• is" less. tolerant to borers, Also„ we are not sure if all. hybrids produce this, Chemical. I can't get a direct answer from the corn ctnpanieS. Another part of the story is. that the borer moths' were later laying eggs this year than normal, They reach the, peak numbers in Perth and Huron between July 10th and. 25th. This year it was closer to the 25th, The eggs from these moths would be hat- ched later than normal, At this time, probably the dimboa level in thecorn was low enough. to give poor natural control. What abour next year? Research from the. U.S.. suggests large numbers will Overwinter. However. there. is nothing you can. do 'Tillage and crop rotation have no effect. r.Research done by. Terry Paynard in the Ws. at the University of Guelph 4s. enlightening. Grain corn fields he checked had 70 to 85 percent of the plants with corn borer present. One field that was in a zero. tillage program with, corn theprevious year had 85 percent of the plants with corn borer. At the same time, another field that was in sod in the previous year, had 80 percent of the stalks with corn borer. It was about .one-fifth of a mile from this field to the nearest corn field. Researchers from Agriculture Canada tell us that it is quite common to find BO. percent of the .corn plants with borer every year. Furthermore, one corn borer per plant will not reduce- AlsO We. have no. idea when the main moth flights will be next year. Se far I have been talking only about the one generation brood of corn borer, South of 401,there is a 2nd generation brood of corn, borer, To my knowledge, Perth and.

Centralia Phone 228 -6638 Busy farmers can keep abreast of the latest developments without committing more than a day at a time through the Cen- tralia College of Agricultural Technology short course program. It offers free courses from January until late March on subjects ranging from livestock management to farmstead planning. Courses run from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. and are open to all. "The short course program, set up in 1968, gives college and agricultural extension staff a chance to pass the latest information to farmers," says Don Cameron, the program's co-ordinator. "The slate of courses is modified annually in response to new interests and needs of the farm community." The 14 courses include livestock sessions and general interest courses about farm income tax, estate planning and farm- stead planning. A herbicide update will be offered over two days. Five subjects are new this year. A Farm Alcohol Production course, January 19, examines the economics and design of production systems. Farmers can learn more about weather forecasting at the Under- standing the Weather course, February 3. Changes in the marketplace promp- ted the introduction of a course about Leasing Arrangements, February 5. Another new course, How to Run a Meeting, is designed to help members of all types of organizations. The popularity of sheep production prompted in- troduction of Sheep Flock Management, scheduled February 3 at Woodstock and March 7 at Centralia. All courses are held at the college, but some repeat sessions are scheduled at neighboring communities. SOILS PRIZE — Ross McBeath presents the Huron County Soil and.
