The idea of Women’s History Month was suggested to Minister Collins by women's organizations and by women representing the academic community. The month of October was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the “Persons Case”, a lengthy legal and political effort by five women which led to Canadian women being officially declared “persons” on October 18, 1929. As Nellie McClung, one of the major players in the “Persons Case”, said, “people must know the past to understand the present and face the future.” Across the country, in October, events are being organized to applaud the accomplishments of women in Canada. Discover the women who had an impact on your community and capture their stories. CROSS CANADA MARKETPLACE • IT'S FAST - IT'S EASY!

Sprayer calibration important Continued from page 11 used to spray Roundup can wear in a remarkably short time, increasing the application rate. Proper pressure is also important, he said. Too high a pressure breaks the spray down into particles that may dry before they hit the plant, doing little good. At the same time the smaller particles can drift far­ ther, harming neighbouring crops and the environment.

Mr. Speiser showed a new vege­ tation detecting metering system that is mounted in front of a sprayer nozzle and through infrared light reading, determines where there is vegetation that needs to be sprayed, switching off the nozzle when there is no vegetation to be sprayed. There are difficulties with the sys­ tem, he said. The meters can fog in heat changes, meaning they don't read as accurately. They can't work at night and in the shade of a tractor cab they may not read vegetation as accurately. Still, he said, in tests in the Rondeau Bay area, they showed savings of 30 per cent in chemicals. At $1000 per meter, per tip, howev­ er, it takes a lot of spraying to earn back the money, he said. Continued from page 1 going through. Average annual rainfall is 85 cm. Dr. Kachanowski said, but evapo­ ration and plant needs take up only 65 cm. It leaves an excess 20 cm or six inches of rainfall that has to go somewhere, either through run-off or through drainage systems to creeks and rivers; or into the ground water. The limit of allowable nitrates for water to be drinkable is only 10 parts per million (ppm). It takes only an excess of 20 pounds of nitrogen per acre, converted to nitrates and picked up by the water, to create undrinkable water. "If your fields are losing only 20 pounds (of nitrogen), the water is not fit for drinking. That's why we're concerned that the amount of nitrogen (you're putting on the field) is the amount you need." Dr. Kachanowski stressed that he wasn't speaking out against chemi­ cal fertilizer application. Nitrogen management is a problem for both high intensive and organic farming; with chemical fertilizer application, manure application, even legume crops that put nitrogen into the soil. In fact the worst leaching of nitrates was probably on plowed- down alfalfa with a manure appli­ cation. Organic nitrogen from manure or plant material in the soil may be the worst problem because it breaks down into nitrogen all year long, even when the crops aren't using nitrogen, creating an excess that can get into the water table. Perhaps the ideal, for nitro­ gen management to prevent leach­ ing into groundwater would be to have a soil with no natural nitrogen where chemical applications only gave the plants enough nitrogen for their needs, when it was needed. Because nitrogen doesn't move through the soil but must be in the root zone to be used by the plant, banding of nitrogen right in the root zone can maximize the bene­ fits with the fewest side effects. Some people are even working on two nitrogen applications for com at different stages of growth to give the crop a shot when it most needs it. Still, seeing the problem is easi­ er than finding a solution. "In Eng­ land they had come to the conclusion that it is impossible to have water of drinking quality below agricultural land," Dr. Kachanowski said.
