S. Pullen Ag. Rep. Little known about white mould We can tell you, very little about white mould. We all know it can reduce a 40 bushel per acre white bean crop to 10 bushels per acre. We know that if you spray with a fungicide, sometimes you can drastically reduce the amount of damage. The problem is that you cannot eliminate the white mould. Where is it apt to be a problem? In white bean fields that have dense foliage - those fields that are filling in the rows. What causes it to develop? The disease needs 16 to 24 hours of continuous moisture. This .can be dews or rain. Hot dry weather breaks the disease cycle. Can you accurately predict when or what fields need spraying?. No. The spray is a preventative control. The spray must be on the foliage before the white mould spores land on the plants. The only guidance we can give is that if you spray and it turns wet, you have received 10 days of protection. If you spray and it turns dry, the disease will not develop. Then you will, have a real good crop of beans and can afford the spray. We agree it is a vel y poor- way to make a reco"mmendation. However, .until we can get more research funds for this problem our method of making recom- mendations will not change. If you decide to°spray, there are a number of products that can be used. One year of research has pointed .out that to date Benlate arid aseout are the preferred products.' Both can be applied with ground or aerial equip- ment. The total cost of spray -acre is about $18. for chemical and $5. for application. Alfalfa research highlights At the recent alfalfa meeting, Guelph Professor, Bob Fulkerson, brought out several points in regard to alfalfa management. Potash is vital to maintain a stand and to produce yield. Often it's been applied too late. Ideally, it should be spread by mid August so that it has a chance to be taken up by the plant before the fall rest period. It could take 500 to 600 pounds of actual potash to replace the potash taken out in a normal crop year. The soil can replenish at least one-half of this amount. The rest must come from commercial fertilizer. Clay soils, naturally produce, more potash each year than lighter soils. At Guelph, a good top is a ,most important factor in winter survival. Soil temperature is warmer - around a plant with a good top: Top growth also CONTINUES IN THE STORE SPECIAL RACK OF JACKETS SHIRTS SHORTS .

However, it's wrong for us to expect a stand to last forever. We should be ready to plow after we've taken one cutting. in the seedling, year and three cuttings in each of the next 'three years. Fulkerson would, buy uncoated seed, if he had the choice. His reason was simply economics. The coating didn't seem to have much value and coated seed was more costly. It would have taken 14 pounds of coated seed per acre to equal the 10 pounds of uncoated seed that John Vander Eyk used on his field. The rate of seed to use might vary from farm to farm. Heavier seeding rates were needed on heavy soils, like the Haldimand clay near Cayuga. There was no need to go to heavy seeding rates if one could get stands with lower rates. It is much easier to get good seedling stands if the soils have been built up because of fertilizer applied previously on a corn crop. The Guelph Professor admitted that he" wasn't too keen on spraying legume seedlings. Even. Embutox set the crop back and sometimes the weeds weren't advanced enough to be controlled. In looking to the future, he 'predicted more con- cern with insect damage on alfalfa especially aphids. Potato Leaf Hopper was a problem last year. Insect problems have been less in 1979 because of the cooler weather. He also expected to see Verticilium Wilt make -an appearance in Ontario in the near future: I�ensall news.... • from page 17- - were on holidays in Jamaica.

Are you between the ages of 12 and 26 years (as of September 1, 1979) ? If the answer is "yes" to both questions, they you are invited to become a part of the 4-H Homemaking Club in your .community. It is a fun way of'learning and a terrific, way to meet new friends. Th'e upcoming "Needlepoint" 4-H project, which will begin. in September, involves a total of at' least seven meetings. Members will learn and work seven needlepoint stitches on a sampler which will then be made into coasters, a wall.hanging or a pillow, Instruction on the selection of colour roject schemes and how io create and transfer original designs onto canvas will also be given, You may also have the opportunity to make a "free choice" article, Have you ever thought about n.eedlepointig napkin rings, belts, key tags, pin cushions, book covers and tie backs? It is possible. Sound interesting? We hope so.
