Feed Donations
for Oxford
The Agricultural Office
at Woodstock, ,is co- -
or4inating feed donations
to the farmers hit.by the
tornado.. They can be
contacted at Box 666,
Woodstock N4S 7Z5 -
phone. 537-6621.
An offer of standing
hay isn't much good as
the people have neither
time nor equipment. to
'harvest itat this time.
The hay should be har-
vested and stored for
future delivery.
The donation offer will
be passed to a committee
which will allocate it
according to the need of
the individuals.
There have already
been some offers of hay
and straw. Apparently
they are in need of grain
donations.
We'll keep readers
informed of this system
as we get more in-
formation.
White mould now
on Soybeans
. The same white mould
that affects white beans
is -doing some damage to
soybean fields in Perth
and Huron counties. The
total damage will
probably be small, but
areas- of some fields are
being affected. About five
percent of Ontario's
soybeans are grown in-
Perth
nPerth and Huron. The
disease may be in 25
percent of these fields.
We still do not know how
serious this will affect our
crop. According to the
book, soybeans are not
affected by this disease.
Too bad soybeans can't
read!
What can you do about
it? Very . little. As of
August 21st, 1979, the only
product registered is
Benlate. It has
registration for .use on
seed soybeans only. Also,
it can only be used on a
total of 1,000 acres in
Ontario in 1979. Fur-
thermore, the company
that sells Benlate is not
convinced that the
product will be effective.
They are not convinced
that anyone can apply the
product in a manner to
get chemical to the
bottom of the plants. The
chemical must get down
to the bottom of the plants
to be. effective. We hope
to know by the end of the
year if this can be done.
In the meantime, all we
can do is watch what
happens.
The logical question is
why we do not have more
information on this
problem. The answer is
that white mould is never
a problem in soybeans.
This is probably because,
traditionally, white beans
and soybeans are not
grown in the same area.
We 'are suggesting that
the high amount of spores
given off from this
disease in white beans iS
causing the problem in
soys in our area. We
certainly hope to get
more answers this year
since, it appears that we
will have soybeans and
white beans grown in this
area in the future. Then if
mould occurs in whites, it
will probably also occur
in soys the same year.

Bay City Crane from London was called into Clinton
on Tuesday to help remove over nine tons of casing
from one of the town's PUC pump houses. The
removal of the casings, which reach down into the
ground 250 feet, is a standard cleaning procedure
done every 10 years to the pump houses in Clinton.
Once removed, the .casings are cleaned, and
repaired and old parts are replaced before they are
lowered into position again. (News -.Record photo)
Rapeseed in Ontario
The oilseed boom is
growing in Ontario. This
is the. first year that
rapeseed has been grown
commercially in the
province.
About 1,000 hectares
(2,470 acres) of rapeseed
are under cultivation in
southwestern Ontario and
in the New Liskeard area,
says-., Professor R. J.
McLaughlin, Department
of Crop Science,
University of Guelph.
• Where there is a long
growing season, farmers
are growing rapeseed
because it matures
earlier than corn and
soybeans, and it does not
interrupt normal har-
vesting schedules of other
crops. In northern
Ontario, rapeseed can
withstand cool weather.
"It's a cool -season
crop," says Prof.
• 1VIc,Laughlin., "Research
in Ontario, Indicates that
late April to early May
should be the target
planting time for
maximum yields.
Rapeseed is a potential
alternative cash crop for
farmers in areas with
2,700 heat'units or less."
Interest has surged in
rapeseed because of new
varieties, specifically
developed for their low
erucic acid content and
low glucosinolate con-
tent.

Erucic acids are un-
desirable fatty acids.
Glucosinolates can have
unwanted pungent
flavors or 'aromas.
Eliminating these traits
from common rapeseed
varieties has made this
oilseed crop more
marketable.
Excellent prices for
edible oilseeds are
partially responsible for
cultivation of the cash
crop. The oil is used.
mainly for cooking
purposes, while the meal
is used as a protein
supplement in animal
rations. A new crushing
plant in Windsor opened
this summer, will pur-
chase all the rapeseed
that can be produced in
Ontario, says Prof.
McLaughlin.
