Dry weather brought weed seeds
Weed Seeds
The poor weed control in crops because
of dry weather will infest the soil with
weed seeds for years. Seeds of weeds like
pigweed, lamb's -quarters and the, annual
grasses will remain viable when buried
more than an inch deep for many years
and will germinate when brought near the
surface by cultivation.
Any cropping practice that will avoid
burying the seeds for another crop year
will help.
No -till seeding will leave the seeds on the
surface where they will either grow or.be
destroyed by weathering. Flying wheat in-
to soybeans just before the leaves fall is
one no -till practice that is fairly common
as well as no -till drills.

SILO GAS RISK
HIGHER THIS YEAR
Tissue testing of corn leaves indicates a
higher level of nitrogen in corn plants this
year. This could be a result of the droughty
weather this summer. Corn plants are
generally smaller and the nitrogen is con-
centrated in a smaller area.
Many farmers are familiar with silo gas
being formed at silo filling. Some have not
experienced the odour or the
characteristic yellow-brown colour. All
farmers should regard the silo filling
operation as a silo gas risk.
Staying out of the silo until the ensiling
process is complete and gases have
dissipated is the main precaution. Enclos-
ed areas such as feed rooms at the base of
the silo should be well ventilated. Safety of
livestock should not be overlooked as silo
gases can flow into livestock areas of adja-
cent barns.
It's a recommended that farmers visit
their family doctor when silo gases have
been inhaled for even brief periods.

IS YOUR PROPANE REFRIGERATOR
A POTENTIAL KILLER?
Nobody in their right mind would keep a life-threatening appliance in their home. Yet, thousands of
people have propane refri9erators that can produce deadly amounts of carbon monoxide if they're
not properly vented and cleaned.
Every year in Ontario an average of three fatalities result from the use of unserviced propane
refrigerators. Several more people require hospitalization for carbon monoxide poisoning.
To eliminate the risk, remove your propane refrigerator to an outdoor shelter or buy a new
refrigerator, which is now required to be vented outdoors, like those used in recreational vehicles
and mobile homes.
We also advise you to have the refrigerator cleaned and serviced regularly, especially before
start up and every time it's moved. That way, rust, scale, insects or anything that's blocking the
combustion system will be removed.
For answers to your questions or to obtain a do-it-yourself booklet on servicing, call the Fuels
Safety Branch at (416) 234-6046, or write:
