All the,parts of the weeds • are there. If you are taking a sample for ID, take a whole plant - roots and' seeds in- cluded. • - • Is it more important this year than last year? 'We think so. There are a number of weeds that look the same from a distance, weeds such as Old Witch Grass and Proso Millet. However, these look alikes need different control methods. There are also a number of new weeds that should be identified while they are still in small patches - weeds such as Velvet Leaf, Cockle Bur, Nettles, Spurges, Vetches. These weeds can be identified now and controls planned for next year. Most weeds can be controlled with specific herbicides, but these weeds must be properly identified this year. There are- a number of fields that have bad in- festations of common weeds. Weeds such as Foxtail, Pigweed, Lamb's Quarters. These weeds got away because of management decisions this past spring. You should identify these weeds now. Also find out why you had poor weed control. We know. for! sure that weedy areas this year will be more of a problem next year. This is because of the added weed seeds. SELLING HIGH MOISTURE CORN So you are thinking about selling some high moisture corn to your neighbour. Good idea. It can be a good deal for both of you. You can sell corn to him and get up to four percent more corn. When he puts it into his silo, he won't clean it. This means another $4 to eels first $5 per tort -for you. leo, he will probably help you at peak harvest time to get rid ,of those extra loads that you don't have time to deliver to the 4]'evator. . Then you ask,what's in it for hirn. He will buy your corn at elevator price, .less drying. This will be a savings to him of $7 to $9 per ton. It would. appear he gets .the best. deal. However, he has that big expensive silo to pay for. If, he can utilize that storage by buying wet corn, he can offset some of the site cost. A deal as good as this must have some hitches. What are the problems? The problems that i iiust be resolved are weight, moisture and price. Since your corn is sold by weight, a reliable set of scales is needed. They also must be close. Guessing the weight is not much good. Weight of a load of corn is in- fluenced by moisture. Thus, you have to know the moisture level of each load. Once you know the moisture and weight, we have charts that convert this to tons of dry corn. However, the most critical point is price. How much and when? A lot of tact is needed when discussing this. One method is to use the local elevator price at harvest. Another method is to use the local elevator price during the upcoming year. Say, a celrtain quantity is sold at the first of the month for the next seven months. Another pricing scheme would involve the Chatham' cash price as quoted daily on the radio. In each of these pricin.,a, systems, there is 'a' certain amount of risk. However, we think that the financial benefits that can be gained by farmer to farmer sales of corn are well worth the bother of setting up a deal. HIGH MOISTURE CORN FOR PIGS Dr. V. Speer, an Iowa State Researcher, recently stated that early weaned pigs should not receive , diets containing high moisture corn. He said pigs, fed starter FOA helps tornado victims with $4, 000 donation The McKillop Federation of Agriculture has raised $4,406 for the Woodstock and area tornado relief fund by canvassing homes in the township. Bob Robinson, president of the township federation, said he was more than a little sur- prised at the amount: some people gave to the tornado relief effort. Directors from the Qrganization divided each concession road in the township and went to every household on their section of the road. Mr, kobinson said each director canvassed about 20 homes. The directors who volunteered their ser- vices included Bob Robinson, Kevin Kale, Bill Murray, Wayne Hoegy, Dan Murray, Mac Stewart, Francis Hicknell, Don Moylan, Andrew Davidson, Gordon Blanshard, Mervin ' Smith, Gordan Papple, Leon Maloney, Art Bolton and Francis Hunt. Mr. Robinson said a DRYS LE MAJOR APPLIANCE CENTRE LTD., SALES WITH SERVICE The Place To Buy Appliances NEW AND USED :Mensal! 262-2728 Closed Mondays special thank you was owed to the wives of the directors who also helped with the collection. He said anyone who wasn't contacted, or was 'contacted initially and not reached again, can still drop off a donation - with any of the McKillop Federation directors. The money collected by the township organization will be added to the tornado relief donations already collected by the Huron County\Federation of Agriculture.

Diets, containing high moisture corn, should be delayed for several weeks from early weaned'pigs. Performance of growing -finishing pigs is the same or better when pigs are fed high moisture based feeds versus dried feeds. A different formulation for high moisture feeds versus dried feeds is required to compensate for the water content. For example, 1,800 pounds high moisture corn is equivalent in feed value to 1,500 pounds dried corn. Got about 2,000 acres of corn that needs harvesting in a hurry? Well, why not buy one of these new N7 Gleaner eight -row combines, worth only $150,000 to do the job. The machinery was just one of the exhibits that caught the fancy of 200,000 people last week at the International Plowing Match near Chatham.
