said that in order to
accommodate the new
line of boats, Hughes -
Columbia will have to
increase its present
capacity, capital and

within 18 months, the
company will be adding

MANAGING A CROSS
BREEDING PROGRAM:
BY RICHARD SMELSKI,
SWINE SPECIALIST
How good is your sow cross breeding
program?
Research .has shown that a three -breed
crossbred, as compared to pure breds, should
give you 15 percent larger litter size at birth, 42
ercent .larger litter size at weaning, 58 percent
1 rger weaning weight per litter and an 11
p rcent.... improvement in average daily gain. _
ese ' are research figures that can .be quite
variable but very definite improvements. For
these reasons, all pork producers should have a
planned breeding program,to get the maximum
hybrid vigour out of their animals.
Heterosis or hybrid vigour is the increased
performance of the offspring over 'the parents.
For example, if Yorkshire average a litter size of
10 and Landrace 10 and if you crossed the two
breeds and had a litter size of 12, then the hybrid
vigour would be the extra two piglets. It's the
increase over the parents that .is called hybrid
vigour.
Hybrid vigour is best with traits of low
heritability (litter size), piglet survival, weaning
weight). Cross breeding improves these traits.
Pure breeding gives you the best opportunity to
improve traits with high heritability (backfat,
average daily gain and feed efficiency).
How good is 'your cross breeding program?
What do you want to improve most? If you use
only two breeds in your cross breeding program,
then you can only obtain 67 percent of the hybrid
vigour possible. With three breeds,' you will be
able to obtain 86 percent. A four breed terminal.
cross gives you maximum hybrid vigour but no
opportunity to select replacements. .Identify
your sows and breed them in a planned program.
Select.. sows that you would like to save
replacements from and use them on a two -breed
cross. The remaining portion of the sow herd Will
produce only market hogs and you can have
three or four breeds involved in these. Plan your
breeding program as to the boars you will need,
at least one year in advance.
Very little research information is available on
cross bred boars. Cross bred boars appear to be
more virile, active and have a better conception.
At the same time, the performance figures are
not a true indication of their genetic worth
because of hybrid vigour. You cannot compare
pure breds with cross breds because of hybrid
vigour.
The biggest question is what kind of progeny
will cross bred boars produce when mated to
cross bred sows. The offspring will be born
larger and healtheir, but according to hybrid
seed companies, you would not save the off-,
spring for replacement females. But with pigs,
health is so important that you should have 'a
breeding program especially designed for'
raising your own replacements, if possible.
A BAD DREAM
THAT'S TRUE: '
BY PAT LYNCHI.
The other night I• dreamed I had agreed to help
an area hog farmer with his chores. He had left
for the weekend and all I had to do was the
feeding and some cleaning. When he got back, he
was quite upset. Some pig pens had six inches of
feed on the floor. The pigs in those pens hadn't
eaten half of what I gave them. More was kicked
down through the Slots at the back of the pen. In
other pens, the pigs were squealing like you
wouldn't believe. They were starving.
_ Needless to say, the owner was quite upset. He
asked me what I had done. I told him I gave
every pen the same amount of feed. Ten- hio
shovel fulls, twice a day. Then he really got upset
and asked me why I did that: I told him I thought
that was the way he wanted it done. I had seen
his cropping program...and that is, the way he
treated his crops. He put the same herbicide 'on
all -the -fields. He never: checked ,,to,Ape . what.
weeds were jthere. He yl'ist sprayed them all the
same, regardless of, the weeds. He never
walked the fields in thesummer time to see what
ed escapes he had..
This is the part of the .dream that has come
tr e. This year I have seen too many fields with
bad weed escapes. These weeds just didn't
suddenly appear. They have been building up for -
the past 2 or more years. They could have been
controlled earlier. I am seeing triazine resistant
lambs quarter; proso millet, velvet leaf - just to
name 3 of the goodies. All can be controlled.
Now you know--fi didn't dream about feeding
somebody's pigs for a weekend. I have. better
things to dream about. I am just trying to make
the point. How can you possibly pick_the right
herbicide combination for next year if you don't
walk your fields this year to see what weeds you
have?
And while you are walking the field, why don't
you take a soil probe and do some soil testing too.
DETAILS OF SOW
WEANER STABILIZATION
PLAN NOW. FINAL:
• Agriculture and Food Minister Loners C.
Henderson has announced the final details of the
Sow Weaner Pig Stabilization Plan which has
come into effect retroactive to April 1, 1980.
Farmers will enrol as producers for a five,
year period, ending March 31, 1985. The plan will
work on two six-month periods per year, ending
September 30 and March 31 of each year.
The minimum number of sows eligible for
enrolment is four; the maximum number "a
producer may enrol is 100. The commission will
• verify sow counts by making spot checks on
randomly chosen farms. •
As in other stabiliazation plans, the govern-
ment will pay two-thirds. For a sow weaner plan,
however, the commission will pay most of the
farmers' fees in advance and recover them when
hog prices improve.
Payments will be based on the price of market
hog§, but paid on sows.
Additional details on such items as eligibility
of partnerships and method of registering sows
will be covered in a brochure to be mailed early
in August, together with application forms, to all
producers registered with the Ontario 91Pork
Producers' Marketing Board. Brochures and
application forms will also be available from the
Agricultural Office, Clinton.

time to control quackgrass
with Roundupr
>.c
After harvest, you know just where to find your
worst quackgrass infestations. So when you see
them, plan to destroy them, with a fall.•applicn of
Roundup® herbicide by Monsanto. Here's how
Roundup fits into your fall schedule.
Always read and follow label directions for Roundup.
Roundup' is a registered trademark of Monsanto Company
tMonsanto Company, 1980 RCN 10 80
Monsanto Canada Inc.
Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Van:Eouver.
Delay plowing to let quackgrass regrow. Roundup
works on actively growing quackgrass that's at least
8" high. Plowing just breaks up the weeds.
Roundup destroys treated quackgrass, rhizomes and
all, and stops it from spreading or regrowingiThat's
why it pays to delay your fall plowing until the weeds
are ready for Roundup.
Roundup can deliver 95-99% control of quackgrass.
For excellent quackgrass control apply Roundup
before the first weed -Wiling frost, and give the herbi-.
tide five days to work on the weed before plowing.
Follow good agronomic practices.
Roundup stops where the treated weeds stop.
Roundup goes wherever the treated weeds go.
Then it stops. Because Roundup works in the weeds,
not in the soil. Next spring; you can plant any
labeled crop: corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley
or potatoes.
Hit quackgrass wherever you see it. Because fall
is the best time to control quackgrass with Roundup.
See your dealer today and ask about the new
trial size.
Monsanto
There's never been a
herbicide like this before.
