I Rod Hilts photo I Huron 4=H hold meeting in Clinton The 4-H Agricultural Machinery Club from Clin- ton held their second meeting on April 23, at the University of Guelph in the Engineering Department. They arrived at Guelph at noon by bus and had lunch at McDonalds. They got to the University where John Jofrier, the Professor of Structural Engineering, took his day off to show members around the Engineering Department. First they were shown slides from the Cana- dian Institution of Engineer- ing. Then they saw a video tape on TV made by the graduate engineers. On this tape the graduates explained their jobs in the engineering industry. They went through the engineering lab and departments which was very interesting. Interest on loans will decrease Statement by Jack Rid- dell, MPP (Huron - Middlesex; : "In response to Liberal Party pressure and questions in the Legislature regarding Tile Drainage Loans, we welcome the announcement of the Minister of Agriculture and Food, to reduce interest rates on these loans from ten per cent to eight per cent for the corning year. "We are still concerned, however, that the maximum loan assistance is to be continued at 60 per cent of the cost of eligible in- stallations. We, in the Ontario Liberal Party, have repeatedly pointed out to the government that this level should be increased to 75 per cent of the cost of the drainage work. "Moreover, we believe that the government's in- vestment, under this program, is still abut 40 per cent less than the demand and we hope that in the upcoming budget statement funding for this program will be increased to $50 million per year. "It is well recognized that tile drainage is essential to the improvement of Ontario's foodland and we will continue to pressure the government for increased assistance in this area." Soil research done Recently I reviewed some long term nitrogen studies done by Ridgetown College. This research compared nitrogen rates preplant vs sidedress. In 19 trials bet- ween 1964 and 1973 there was a .12 to .36 tonnes per hectare advantage by sidedressing nitrogen. The results of this research indicated you should apply an additional 30 kg per ha of nitrogen if you preplanted your nitrogen on certain soils in Ontario. However, in another series of 12 trials between 1977 and 1980 conducted by RCAT there was a .12 tonnes per hectare reduction in yield if nitrogen was sidedressed vs preplanted. The summary of all this according to Ken Stevenson is that 65 percent of the time there is no need for extra N preplant. Your N Rate There is no Ontario soil test for nitrogen. We used to test soils for N. But research showed that the release of N from Ontario soils was un- predictable. As a result we recommend set rates for different crops. For cern these rates vary with the yield history of a field. You should determine your N rate from past experience. Corn responds to nitrogen much more than it responds to phosphorus and potash. To make use of this fact. you have to keep records oto TRICIAN"sivYs LISTEN FRIENDS LEND AN EAR,/VE EXCITING EL EC TR/C HEAT/NG NEWS/ 11 FO,Q iitarry Buchanan 3 PNASE ELECTRIC CLINTON CU- 737 fauns and fields. Lead feed with nitrogen your fields with a history of high yields. But if a field only yields 90 bu per acre there is no need to put on enough N for a 120 bushel per acre crop. Don Gordon frorll the mechanical laboratory showed how a draft control works on a cut off transmission of a 135 Massey -Ferguson Tractor. He then showed the wind tun- nel along with a model that showed snow drift patterns. Members loaded the bus again to go to the Arkell Research Station. At the sta- tion Martin, a graduate told and showed how the methane gas was extracted from the manure. He also ex- plained how the digester w•irks. After an enjoyable afternoon at the University the group headed for home. The club is pleased to have the only new female member. Welcome to the club Marilyn Archambault.
