Business Analysis
Reports Available
To Ont. Farmers
The capital requirements
per man in farming are among
the highest of any industry in
Canada. Farm account books
indicate that the investment
per man runs in the neighbor-
hood of $30,000 for farms in
Ontario. Today the farmer
needs to know what this invest-
ment is doing for him.
Since 1950 the Department
of Agricultural Economics at
the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege in Guelph in co-operation
with the Farm Economics and
Statistics Branch of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture,
have published annually the
Farm Business Analysis Report.
The preliminary reports for
this year have just been publish•
ed for various farm enterprises
which are classified according
to their major source of income
as; dairy special, dairy general,
steer operations, beef cows
milked, beef cows not milked,
poultry general, large hog en-
terprise and cash crop. They
are also available in limited
quantities for specialized fruit
and specialized vegeta b l e
farms.
These reports are designed
for use by farmers andextensiori
personnel. They contain re-
ceipts and expense figures in-
cluding averages of livestock
and crop production, labor use,
overhead and machinery costs,
average capital investment and
Foxtail (Green and Yellow)
This annual grass creates a
serious weed problem in gar-
dens, cultivated crops and oc-
casionally in first year mea
dows, according to the Soils
and Crops Branch, Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture.
The stems may be single, or
several, branching at the base.
The leaves may be as much as
inch wide, narrowing down
to a fine point at the tip. The
seed head is a bristly spike two
to three inches long.
In recent years foxtail has
tended to build up in the rota-
tion. This has mainly been due
to the elimination of other
weeds which usually compete;
for example, 2, 4-D destroys
broadleaf weeds leaving the
grass weeds such as foxtail.
Foxtail often shows up as a
problem in the corn crop. Fox -
tail seeds germinate mainly be-
tween May 15 and June 15, so
that early spring and late sum-
mer cultivation has little ef-
fect on control. Atrazine at
the rate of 1z to 2 lbs (active)
in 20-30 gallons of water per
acre as an early post-emei
gence overall spray is recom-
mended. However, under dry
conditions the atrazine may not
penetrate down deeply enough
into the soil to kill all germin-
ate weeds. In this case shal-
low cultivation may be re..
quired.
Linuron and Amiben applied
as a pre -emergence treatment
for soybeans and Eptam as a
pre -planting treatment for
white beans are recommended
practices.
In direct seeded pure stands
of alfalfa or birdsfoot trefoil,
Dalapon at the rate of 4 lbs.
(product) per acre applied in

trol foxtail. If forage grasses

'NOT A FISH
The jellyfish, popular name
for the medusae, bears no re-
semblance to fish and is not re-
lated to fish. It is, in fact, a
swimming marine animal,
which feeds on fish and other
animals by first stupefying them
with a poison contained in its
tentacles.

ATRAZINE*
Shouldn't You?
"Control ' is excellent
wouldn't be without it!"
Says George F. Morris, Merlin, Ontario.
"I used an over-all spray of Atrazine on 200 acres of picking
corn and 50 acres of silage corn" says Mr. Morris. "Control
of weeds and grasses has been excellent without any culti-
vation. I would hate to have to go back to getting along
without it."
Atrazine treatment is normal routine with successful corn
growers. Your neighbours, who have used Atrazine, will tell
you they wouldn't grow corn without it.
One application of Atrazine controls weeds all season long
including those in the rows which can't be reached by cultiva-
tion. Start using Atrazine this year . , . discover how profitable
corn production can be.
Ask your farm supply dealer for an instructional leaflet on the
new, more concentrated formula, Atrazine 65W. Place your
order now and get your sprayer ready on time.
