LAST NIGNT THURS., APRIL 9th OM SHOWING I:OOP . M. JACK LEMMON ROBBY BENSON from all of England," Mr. Whelan said. Three Canadian farmers who visited the islands shortly before the quaran- tine was declared will be in- tercepted when they arrive in Canada. Farmers planning to visit European farms are urged to make sure there is no Foot and Mouth Disease in the area. and especially that there are no sick animals on the farms they visit. After visiting a European farm, clothing should be washed, and shoes cleaned. "The general public travelling to and from Europe should follow ex- isting rules about importa- tion of things that could carry the virus," Mr. Whelan said. "Don't bring back any agricultural products such as meat or sausage. The last time we had an outbreak of Food and Mouth. in the early 1959's, the source was a single sausage brought from eastern Europe. Also, make sure you declare to Customs anything containing soil or any agricultural product t that hasn't gone through manufacturing process, such as untanned leather. s "We must be absolutely a certain the disease does not spread to Canada. It could cripple our exports of n livestock and meat products - a loss of hundreds of s million of dollars. However, the disease is rarely b dangerous to human health." Mr. Whelan said. f Rotation of crops making comeback Many Ontario farmers ar taking a second look at crop rotation. This age-old agri cultural practise is the solu tion to many of the soi structure problems caused by continuous cropping prac- tices. "Despite the value of corn to Ontario agriculture, many farmers have over emphasized this species in their cropping programs," says Dr. Terry Daynard, University of .Guelph crop scientist. "Some farms have been planted to corn for an entire generation." After years of reaping the benefits of growing con- tinuous corn, farmers are .now starting to experience some of the problems associated with continuous row crops -- erosion, poor soil structure and low yields. One of the first symptoms of poor soil structure is low yield. Yields stay the same despite better management practices, superior hybrids, and improved weed control and fertility programs. "Eighty per cent of our corn producers were disap- pointed with their yields last year and they can't blame it all on the weather," says Dr. Daynard. Some farmers may also' notice it's becoming harder to prepare a seedbed each year. It takes more sophisticated tillage skills to accomplish the same job that took only one pass across the field 10 years ago. They may notice that the soil erodes rnore each year. Crusting is another symp- tom of declining soil struc- ture. Farmers may find that they have trouble with seeding emergence if there is a heavy rain after plan- ting. "Crop rotations improve soil structure and yields," says Dr. Daynard. "Crops such as perennial grasses, legumes such as alfalfa or red clover, and winter cereals leave the soil in ex- cellent condition for the following crop." Research indicates that any crop will yield better if it follows any other crop. If corn, soybeans or white beans are grown after a soil - improving crop, farmers can expect a 20 per cent yield improvement over con- tinuous cropping. One of the major roadblocks against crop rotation is the misconcep- tion that net profits will be reduced if non -row crops are grown. Dr. Daynard says that this is a false way of looking at the stivation. "The way to make a proper economic analysis is to look at the net benefit of the entire crop sequence," says Dr. Daynard. "It is con- ceivable that by planting corn after a forage crop you may obtain more than double the net profit. Instead of net- ing a $50 per acre profit. as with continuous corn, you hould realize more than 100 per acre from corn fter forages. because of igher yields. fewer pest roblems. and reduced itrogen requirements. It's urprising how profitable a non-profitable crop can be." If the rotation crop only reaks even. and you receive more than double the return rom the corn crop in the e following year. you are in an improved economic position, relative to continuous corn, explains Dr. Daynard. In I terms of the added benefits of labor distribution, equip- ment use, spreading risks, and preservation of soil structure, farmers can't af- ford not to consider crop rotation. Juniors aid disabled In a special salute to the 30th anniversary of the On- tario March of Dimes and the International Year of Disabled Persons. the Junior Farmers' Association of On- tario focused on disability at their recent annual con- ference in Toronto. Wheelchair obstacle courses and awareness activities on blindness and deafness were set up to give Junior Farmer's a better un- derstanding of a disabled person's abilities and con- cerns. During Junior Farmers' Week held just prior to the conference, club members • from 53 Ontario chapters organized special events to raise money for the Ontario March -of Dimes. Over $15,- 000 was raised in box lunch socials, bake sales, road rallies, hockey games and dances in an outstanding ef- fort supporting the organiza- tion. The 400 delegates and new executive presented the cheque to a representative of the March of Dimes at the conference. Junior Farmers' clubs are divided into seven zones in this province. Members in zone three raised the most money (almost $6,000) with special events, followed closely ($4.000) by clubs in zone seven (Grey -Bruce area). For other clubs, $1,417 was raised in zone four (Central West), *933 was raised in zone two (Central East), $825 was raised in zone five (South West). $786 was rais- ed in zone one (Eastern On- tario) and $644 was raised by clubs from Northern Ontario in zone six. In addition, over $900 was raised by the elected presi- dent, Doug Peart, through an auction of his shirt at the conference. Each year. the Ontario March of Dimes works with thousands of disabled men and women. The organiza- tion provides aids such as wheelchairs and electronic devices. operates holiday camps and assists disabled groups with issues such as housing. transportation, employment and recreation. In 1981. the organization is also operating a school awareness program called "Dispelling Old Myths - Great Line of Dimes". Disabled people from across the province are now visiting schools. discussing the problems of disability and the abilities of disabled men and women. Students in the schools are also par- ticipating in fun events to raise dimes in an imaginary line across the province. Funds raised are used to operate the school program.
