Hot Weather Causes
Poor Germination
The extreme dry, hot weather
has resulted in poor germination of.
such crops, as turnips and white'
beans reports G. W. Montgomery,

on turnips and leaf hopper damage
to white beans,

Crop Improvement
Association Visits
Farms in Huron
Officers and direetora of the
Huron County Soil and Crop Im-
provement Association, with other
farmers from the various townships
took a county bus tour on Monday.
Over forty men made the trip, re-,
viewing the results of such pro-
jects as the pasture improvement
program.
. Leaving Belgrave at eight in the
morning, they journeyed to Exeter,
Crediton, Grand Bend and arrived
in ,Goderich for dinner.
County Warden 'John V. Fischer,
reeve of Turnberry Township, was.
a guest for the trip and while they ,
stopped in the county town, he
personally conducted the group on
a tour of the new county court
house.
Returning en way ""of ntsuburris
they arrived in Wingham in time:
for members of the executive,
Richard Procter, Russell Bolton ,
and Harry Strang, and County
Warden Fischer to appear on Bob
Carbert's television program
"Focus on the Farm".
During the trip several farms
were visited including A. Bettie's
farm at Bayfield, the Bassett Bros.
dairy farm at Goderich, .„Heber
Bedy's at Dungannon and Elmer
Robertson and Sons of Carlow and
Auburn.-
Canada Is Self •
Sufficient in Food
Canada and the Unitdd' States
are the only .countries that can
feed all their people without hav-
ing O. get any nooetnwhatever from{
outside, ieceraing ti the 1955 Wok :
of knowledge Annual, Likewise'
they are the only nations faced
with problems of . food surpluses
rather than shortage,
In both countries the capital in-
vestment in agricalture, including
land, buildings, .lignstock, machin-
ery and the raising of crops, ; is
greater than the total amount of
money invested in industry, Out
reason for this is the Inernaning
number' of "city farmers", who are
often able to afford research, eseo
periment and risk that the work-
ing farmer could not undertake,
Xn 'View, of fregifent talk about
the high cost of food in nnorth Am- •
erica, it is interesting to learn
from the same article that it is
the cheapest fend in the world if
you measure its ebst by the amount
of working tithe in takes to earn-
the price of a joaf of bread, a.
pound of meat or some other staple
article ,,of diet,

cessive applications of 2,4.-D. Heav-
ily infested patches may have to
be taken out of cultivation for a
year or two and treated with soil
sterilants such as sodium chlorate
or atlacide.

In Control of Weeds
"Wishing will Snake' .it so" does.
not apply to the destruction of
weeds, The Field Crops Walton ot
the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture advises that both 'word and
Information on weed control are
required if fields and roadsitres are
to be kept in good condition.
The war on weeds is an uocestn-
Mg one in which our newest
weapon is the use of herbicides, for
spraying. 2,4-In still the chemical
most widely two_ pm is selective
in action, economical and easily
applied. Other members of the
family of chemicals, such as Kann.
and 2,4,5-T are also in common .tree
for weed control,
'These chemicals are used in the
form of sodium or amine salts, or
as high or low volatile esters, Tile
salts are slower acting, and do tuit
form a gas vapor Which MaY drift
away from the area sprayed. Esters
are quick acting and more effect-
ive on some weeds, Low volatile
esters are used more and more
because they also do not form a
gas vapor which may be carried
by the wind to do damage to sus-
oeptible crops. ,
There are about 20" chemicals
used for weed control in crops and
it is necessary for farm sprayers
to keep up-to-date in. their use.
Every farmer should have the
Handbook on Chemical Weed Con-
trol (Circular 755) and the Guides,
to Chemical Weed Control (Circ.u-
larn 755A, B & C), These may he .
had for the asking .from ypur ag-

ture, Parliament' Buildings, Tor-

WROXETER—The newest indus-
try of the village, the Burke Broiler
Plant, has drawn wide attention
across the country and from time
to time is visited not only by Ont-
ario people who are interested, but
by those from older countries.
During the past week a delega-
tion of nine with Professor Ross
Coivers, of Ontario Agriculture
College, Guelph, spent about four
hours touring the plant. The party
included three young men from
Ohio State University, Harold
Cuhoo, Paul 'Everitt and Charles
Raever.
Three government officials from
India included N. R. Michael, ag-
ricultural consultant for govern-
ment farms and K. G. Mahindru, in
charge of eo-ordination of govern-
ment farm work, and Professor
Gray. These four .gentlemen were
an exchange Colombo Plan group.
The party had previously visited
the Rowe Plant at Atwood and on
leaving here planned to tour the
State of Michigan. They were
guests of Roger Schwass of the
farm department on CKNX Tele-
vision, during their visit.
Other's who visited the Burke
plant recently were the Consul of
Ecuador, Montreal and C. Vincent,
agricultural technician, St. Hya-
cinthe, Quebec. At present the
Burke plant is running full capac-
ity and it will be open for inspec-
tion to any who are interested dur-
ing the Howick Centennial.
