HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1969-08-28, Page 10W t ,noel Advance -Times, Thursday, August 28, 1969 il weather service farmers in this region *, a$ticultural community ds more weather information than is available from general weather forecasts. To meet this need a program • hasbeen developed in south - Western gntario by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and. rood. in conjunction with the Meteorological Branch of the Canada Department of Trans- port. The program provides spe- cial farm weather bulletins, with a description of the cur- rent weather pattern for each day and a forecast of details of the next day's weather, as well as the outlook for one or more days following, depending on the predictability of weather conditions. Some bulletins will also contain information and advice on farm operations, crop stages, and so on, and will comment on important weather changes, such as a sudden spell of frost or rain. Meteorologists of the Cana- dian Weather Service, 'operating out of the weather office in To- ronto and working with the On- tario Department of Agriculture and Food, send these bulletins out to the radio stations twice daily at 6:30 a. m. and 11:30 a. m. during the growing season (April 15 to October 15). Farm- ers should check with their lo- cal stations to find out the times these bulletins will be broad- cast. The program covers two specific areas, one of which covers. the counties of Perth, Wa- terloo, Halton, Peel, York, Simcoe, Dufferin, Wellington, Huron, Bruce and Grey. Southwestern Ontario was picked to start this program be- cause of its special farm -weath- er relationship. As funds per- mit, all the major agricultural areas of the province will be covered. Queries concerning the weath- er service should be directed to the Ontario Department of Agri- culture and Food, S,Elizabeth Street South, Brampton. Don't keep your nose in a book for hours on end. If your schedule calls for close-up work such as sewing, typing or ac - counting, give your eyes a rest by switching to a task that re- quires long vision. This re- focusing of the eyes, The Ca- nadian National Institute for the Blind says, is a good way to prevent fatigue. Moms log house moved to Muskoka Three young women f rosin a pioneer home in Morris Town- ship went to China as mission- aries and served there a total of 100 years. Probably nothing in the history of Canadian foreign missions exceeds the record of these sisters, daughters of Rob- ert and Margaret Irvine of Con- cession VI, Morris. The log . house which was their home was taken down in 1967 by a niece of the missionaries, Miss Eliza- beth Ferguson of Toronto and has been re -erected near Hunts- ville, in Muskoka. The story of the Irvine sis- ters is related by Mr. Justice Ferguson, of the Supreme Court of Ontario, a nephew, in Book III of Huron Early Houses and Their Families, by W. E. El- liott of Goderich. Judge Fer- guson has intimate recollections of the log house in Morris, and has written them with details .which will be of interest to many older residents in that part of Huron. Other chapters in the book deal with Christopher Crabb,. Goderich merchant; John Mac- donald, long-time sheriff Hur- on -Bruce and Huron; William Young, Colborne Township; W. M. Savage, a Goderich builder; Sir William Otter, a native of Clinton, and a pioneer settler's letter from Huron to friends in Scotland in 1838. 1968 PLYMOUTH 2 -Dr., V8, Automatic.

Alfalfa. management map shows dates on which fall harves* would be Critical An alfalfa management map which can help reduce, the risk of alfalfa winterkill, has been developed for Ontario farmers. The map was produced follow- ing intensive studies on alfalfa fdod reserves in 28 regions of the province. Food reserves are an essential key to successful management of the alfalfa crdqp . However, occasionally alfd- fa will winter -kill from ice for mation, lack of snow cover or poor drainage, regardless of the food reserve level in the roots. "The chief cause of winterkill, on most farms, " says Professor R. R. Fulkerson, Department of Crop Science, University o f Guelph, "is the abuse alfalfa receives, especially during the fall. Contrary to'some opinion, it is not due to varieties. " Professor Fulkerson, author of the Ontario Department pf Agriculture and Food publica- tion Stop Alfalfa Winterkill, ex- plains that there is a critical fall harvest date in every region of Ontario. The map is design- ed to'show farmers the date on which fall harvest of alfalfa would be critical for their par- • ticular region._ • Op,continues, "When Alfa is Gut or grazedoil" t Orgiticalj fall harvest date, for a region, the stored food reserve declines ' for three weeks. " During this period the accumulated effects Of severe frost have killed the leaves and have prevented re- serve replenishment in theplant. The stored food in alfalfa is at its lowest point about three weeks after growth starts in the spring, when harvest has occur- red, and when the plant is about 110 inches high. However, dur- ing the later vegetative and re- productiv6'growth periods, the leaves on the plant produce more food than is required for growth. The excess is stored in the root. The complete cycle takes five weeks in the summer but extends to six weeks in the fall. If the cycle is interrupted in the summer by shortening the period between harvests through grazing, food storage will not be completed. The alfalfa will go into the fall with lower food reserves than those crops cut only once or twice for hay. Professor Fulkerson suggests that meadows to be plowed in the fall should be programmed for grazing during the food'stor- age period. "To help ensure top persistence;. alfalfa should a bnotf.be. cut or grazed for bElse� _;w `1 sbefore,or 4ftei.the cx t.,c;- al date for .any. area, " . says Pro- fessor Fulkerson.
