With increasing costs of fertilizer: it just does not pay to guess. You could be wasting hundreds of dollars on excessive fertilizer use, or the wrong analysis for Op production. Soil boxes and information sheets are 'available at the .Agricultural Office, Clinton. Take these samples now when the soil is relatively dry and before freeze-up. BY PAT LYNCH SOILS AND CROPS SPEC. One' day -this past month, I mentioned to my wife, Sally, "You should plan your day if you want to get the most of it - don't just let it happen." She answered something about that being a good idea tell it to our two young boys. Sometimes when I talk to you about your crop- ping program, I have the idea that your cropping strategy just happens - it's not well planned or recorded. Now I don't want to be critical because we both know, you- grow good - JOHN OEERt Blyth 523-4244 Exeter 235.1115, crops. In fact, Huron and Perth have very enviable crop yield records compared to the rest of the province. Still, we are reaching a state of technology where that little corn hybrid booklet in your pocket is not good enough. Look at your sow and milk records. Where do you keep them? Not in the corn hybrid book. And certainly not in your head. All that- in- formation is recorded so that you can plan ahead. The same is needed for crops. All that I am asking is that you keep the same amount of records per dollar invested in crops as you keep per dollar invested in livestock. Somebody convinced you to keep good records on your livestock - they said it would make you money. You started and they do make you money. Crop records will -make you money too. The reason that I mention. good records is connected with planning rootworm control. I can predict now that root - worm will be a serious insect problem next year. It may cost us over $20,000.00 in lost corn KEVIN DUTOT Harold Wise of Harold Wise Ltd. is pleased to announce that Kevin Dutot has completed his electrical apprenticeship with us and on Saturday, September 27 received his diploma from Conestoga College. CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN! Kevin is fully qualified to handle all your electrical needs, along with his instructor Ron Drager (journeyman electrician) apprentice Dave Wise, and the boss, Harold Wise (jour- neyman electrician) , a yields and insecticide cost. You have to start to p,Ian now on how to reduce your loss to this insect. To ' reduce damage, rotate crops or use insecticides on continuous . corn. But these insecticides break down between ap- plication time and when they are needed, Therefore, to combat this, you can plant your first corn on land that didn't have corn last year. There . will be no rootworm there. Plant your last corn on the field that had the worst rootworm problem this year. This ensures more active insecticide available when the eggs hatch. Crop planning would also help to control bindweed. If you planted the field that had . the worst bindweed last,' you have a better chanceof controlling bindweed. Bindweed seems to come into flower within the same week whether corn is planted May 1 or May 20. However, corn planted May 20 will probably silk 10 to 14 days after corn planted May 1. By planning your plan- ting, 'you can effectively increase The number of days that you can spray bindweed in any one field. Now, you have to decide whether a certain field has worse bindweed or rootworm problem. Again you need records to make that decision. We have had numerous inquiries as to why some first year corn is lodging. Fields appear to have severe rootworm damage even though there was no corn there last year. The answer is connected to our rainfall this year. Root development is directly related to moisture. availability. When we have lots of rain, plants will produce numerous roots near the surface. When moisture is limited, a plant responds by sending its roots deeper into the soil to get moisture. This year most corn fields have developed the bulk of their roots near the soil surface (because of the time and quantities of rainfall). The September rain soaks the top two to four inches of soil. This area contains the bulk of the corn roots this year._ When this area is soaked, it is impossible for the plant to remain standing, because wet soil is softer than dry soil and thus plants standing in wet soil fall over easier. This year, many corn fields are going down. Corn borer, rootworm, poor root systems are allowing this corn -to lodge. Mould is starting to develop on some of this corn. 1 suggest that you harvest lodged corn earlier than normal. LET US INSTALL... HUNTER DOUGLAS ALUMINUM SIDING Se© the wide variety to choose from!
