Where the tassel is infected by head smut, the ear will also always be infected. Other plants may show infected ears without in- fected tassels. The same plant can be in- fected by head and common smut. The head smut will ap- pear on the ear and possibly the tassel while common smut may appear on the stalk. Head smut spores over winter in the soil and attack corn in the seedling stage in the spring. Spores can survive for several years in the soil. The fungus grows within the plant, affecting the ears and tassel. On maturity, the spores drop to the ground re- infecting the soil. Seed treatment with Vitaflo 280 is effective to control seed - born head smut spores. Harvest and tillage equip- ment should be thoroughly washed off after use in in- fected fields to prevent spread of the spores. If producers suspect they have head smut, they are urg- ed to have it identified by their local O.M.A.F. office.

Assess results of cattle poll The executive committee of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association met with Hon. Dennis Timbrell and his staff September 28 to assess the results of the expression of opinion on making licence fee deductions non-refundable. The licence fee deduction or checkoff from cattle sold to packers or through stockyards provides the fun- ding for the Ontario Cat- tlemen's Associaiton. The expression of opinion or plebiscite had been requested by the Cattlemen's Association in 1982 because of concern that the increase in licence fees to fund Ontario's share of the national beef advertising program would lead to a higher level of refund re- quests. Bob Chapple, Presi- dent of the Ontario Cat- tlemen's Association express- ed disappointment that more producers had not exercised their franchise. He stated "5271 votes on the question were cast but that census figures indicate bet- ween 45,000 and 50,000 Ontario producers were eligible voters and although 15,000 to 20,000 of these would be dairymen from which I did not expect a large turnout, it still left 30,000 eligible beef cattle producers in the pro- vince. I really believe the vote results contain several com- ponents which include the following - frustration with currently depressed cattle prices, differing views on fun- ding a beef advertising cam- paign, opposition to the basic principle of a non-refundable checkoff and producer views an marketing structure which are different than that held by the Association even though that position was determined by cattlemen. If refund re- quests now escalate to an even higher level than we have experienced during the past year, then our ability to fund Ontario's share of the national advertising cam- paign will be in jeopardy." Chapple went on to say "Our executive committee discussed a number of issues with Mr. Timbrell including the results of the expression of opinion, the grim financial reality facing many cat- tlemen this fall and the future for the cattle industry. He told us straight out that he was watching the outcome of the expression of opinion very closely from two standpoints -1) commitment of cattlemen to their industry, and 2) direc- tion or concensus. He told us that he saw neither in the results and that consequently he would be if •veiuping pro- posals to take to Provin(• 't1 Cabinet. These proposals would deal with mechanisms for increas- ing productive efficiency of cattle and beef in Ontario and for increasing marketing ef- ficiency of cattle sold in On- tario. He • t r sated that su ly management is not a com- ponent of the strategy. Final- ly, he sought views from the Association Executive on how to proceed once Cabinet had given him the green light." Chapple concluded by say- ing "We encouraged the Minister to provide opportuni- ty for public scrutiny and in- put from cattlemen to his pro- posals before implementation and that the Ontario Cat- tlemen's Association would like to work with him in any venture which will assist the competitive position of On- tario cattlemen either short run or long run." tf Canada-Ontalio For Details On WINTER WHEAT Insurance Atw On 31 vsu'rs ss yea sirs Call: Don Weigand RR 1, Dashwood Agncuiture a`•'�• Canada wn" . and rme )B'Et0OnalT00 .:).n20,0)Eov, ON THE MARCH — Appearing as General Lee in Satur- day's Ilderton Fair parade was Andrew Marshall.
