tion were to test new seeds
and weed control and we still
have those problems with
us."
Huron's Ag Rep Don Pullen
also complimented the Huron
association for providing
leadership in soils and crops
across Ontario.
Pullen said Huron farmers
should be interested in a
Management for Profits
Seminar taking place this
week in Kitchener, London
and Ridgetown.
He said the seminars were
a lead-in to winter workshops
at Centralia College where
farmers have many updating
opportunities.
Bob Forrest, a researcher
at Centralia College reported
on a number of 1983 tests on
soybeans, white beans, canola
and red clover.
In talking about the effect
of plowdown of clovers for
barley, Forrest said, "The
bottom line is the presence of
red clover, alfalfa, etc.
neither added or decreased
yields. The barley pretended
the plowdown crop wasn't
there."
He went on to say, "Double
cut red clover produced the
most'top growth and the best
corn yields."
Forrest concluded, "It's
important to obtaina healthy
environment and have a hap-
py home for every plant. You
need good soil and a good
balance of water and air
holding capacity. Plowdown
can enhance soil structure
and yields. Take good care of
your soil."
In farmer tests reported by
soils and crops specialist Pat
Lynch it was noted by Eric
Anderson that the proper
time to seed red clover in corn
is following the last scuffling.
Lynch said a survey for
verticillium in alfalfa disclos-
ed the disease in all townships
in Perth and in Huron
townships of Howick, Grey,
Morris, McKillop, Huliet and
Tuckersmith.
Lynch challenged farmers
for more on-farm spring trials
for barley.
On the subject of the dif-
ference between row widths,
Bob Forrest commented,
"How nicely the seed is
planted in the ground is more
important than row widths."
The report on corn heat
units for 1983 showed a total
of 2,848 at the Staffa farm of
Hugh Scott compard to 2,839
the previous year. At Cen-
tralia College the figure was
2,935 with a six year average
of 2,823.
Directors named for 1984
for the Huron Soil and Crop
Improvement Association are
president Gerritt Van Keulen,
vice-president and treasurer
Jim Ross, secretary Ray
Hartman, Gerald Hayter,
Paul Passmore, Tony Van
Bakel, Hans Rasmussen,
Aart DeVos, Bill Armstrong,
Art Bolton, Walter Mcllwain,
Gary Baker, Wayne Cantelon,
Ray Hogan, Stuart Alton and
Dennis Connelly.
