Check your drains
throughout the y ; r
Tile drainage is a major
farm investment and to en-
sure maximum returns,
farmers must keep systems

acre) invested in tile

Irwin, , of the Univsays , ersity
of Guelph School of
Engineering. "It's well
worth the time it takes to get,
out and walk the field and
checll the system."
Tile drainage systems
should be checked two or
three times a year, but spr-
ing is one of the most impor-
tant times because problem
areas are easier to spot.
Begin by checking the
drainage outlet. This is the
most important part of the
system because it proves
whether the system is work -

w to make
sure there is no erosion .
around the outlet and that
snow and runoff haven't
shifted the drain outlet
"Tile drains are running
about hall their capacity
right now," says Prof. Irwin.
"There should be some
water coming out of the
drain outlet, but if there
isn't, check back in the field
to locate t !eproblem,"
As the soil begins to dry,
watch for areas of ponding
or standing water. These wet
spots may be symptoms of
broken or plugged tiles
below; the only way to be
sure is to dig down and look.
Holes or depressions over
tiled fields often indicate
that mud and silt have wash-
ed down into the drains. Tile
lines in these areas should be
dug up and cleaned.
Another problem to watch
for is rust, says Professor Ir-
win. Rust indicated iron

by microorganisms that can

Michnicwicz, who rode the
bench while toiling in the
Junior A ranks due to an at-
titude problem and an in-
ability to check, continues to
be the top cherry -picker with

...Miclinicwicz brought a
brand of stickwork to the In-

...another trick of Michnic-
wicz is his ability to feign in-

Toll -Free Number Change
By Pon Pullen, Ag, Rep,
Last month we announced
new phone numbers_ for the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food office
in Clinton,
We have just been notified
of an important change.
Effective immediately,
callers from any long
distance exchange in Huron
County can phone, our office
using Zenith 7-3040. Our local
number is still 482-3428,
This decision was
necessary because of
problems encountered with
several phone numbers for
our office.
Please make this change
in the blue pages of your
phone book.
We sincerely regret the
confusion and inconvenience
this may cause. Hopefully,
this will be the last change in
our phone listing.
For those of you with a
London directory, the phone
number listed for the
Hullett Wildlife
Management Area under the
Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources is the Clinton
Agricultural Office number.
The correct number is 482-
7011. We would appreciate it
Spraying goes metric this year
Ontario farmers will be
faced with spraying in
metric quantities this year.
Stocks of Imperial size, pro-
ducts will be sold out this
spring and replaced with
metric equivalents.
Most liquid products will
be available in metric with
the 10 litre (L) jug being one
of the most popular sizes.
Many companies are in-
troducing 20 L pails and
some are selling 200 L
drums.
To help make the conver-
sion to metric sizes easier,
John Scott, Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food
associate agricultural
representative, Wellington
County, suggests these tips.
To get a feeling for metric
distance, pace • off the
distance between your house
and barn. If you are of
average height, your pace is
one ette (1 yard plus 3 in-
ches).
In the corner of one field,
walk 100 steps along one
fence and mark the spot with
a stake. Walk down the other
side 100 steps and place
another stake. When
squared off, this area is one
hectare (ha). If you don't
want to walk the farm,
multiply the number of acres
by 0.4 to determine the
number of hectares.
For reference, draw a map
of your farm, mark in the
fields and under the number
of acres, add the number of
hectares.
Old sprayers need
recalibration. Many new
sprayers have level in-
dicator tubes showing both
gallons and litres. If your
sprayer does not have a
metric indicator, use an old
"Lasso" pail (20 L when full)
and fill the tank pail by pail,
marking levels with a per-
manent marker. If the tank
reads in gallons, add the cor-
responding number of litres.
To convert Imperial gallons
to litres multiply by 4.55. To
convert U.S. gallons to litres
multiply by 3.79.
Field sizes seldom corres-
pond exactly to pesticide
packages. A 5L or 10L plastic
jug, marked off in litres or
half litres makes . a handy
tool for measuring liquids.
Wettable powders can be
measured out as a portion of
the product bag.
When you are ready to go
out to the field, count off 50
paces (50). Using the
calibration bottle, check the
output in metric by driving
this distance at normal
speed. . Two hundred
millilitres in the bottle
equals 80 L -ha of spray.
Read the labels on
pesticide packages. Some
labels have conversions
printed on them; others may
give metric only. To convert
application rates multiply
gallons per acre by 11.2 to
determine litres per hectare.
To convert pounds per
square inch of old pressure
gauges to the metric
equivalent, multiply psi by
6.89 to determine kilopascals
(kPa).
"Application rates have
been a problem in the past,"
says Scott. "Weeds have
been missed and crops have
been injured. This year
spray operators must be on
their toes to get the correct
rate. With some pre-
planning and extra care, we
could have a year of fewer
spray problems,"
New course at Conestoga
Conestoga College is offer-
ing a new program for peo-
ple who are trying to decide
on a career or who want to
change their present career:
"There is no other .pro-
gramTike it in Western On-
tario," according to Lisa
Avedon, Co-ordinator of the
new Career ' Orientation -
Action Progiraanii ,'
Its purpose is threefold: to
give people insight into what
they want to do and what
they are capable of; to give
them information about oc-
cupations; and to help them
to search for jobs.
"Many people . are unhap-
py with their work because
they either just 'fell into it°
or they made decisions
which turned out to be un-
suitable for them," com-
ments Ms. Avedon about
potential students • who will
find the program helpful.
"Another reason for wanting
to change is the need to look
for a better -paying job."
Students spend three to
four weeks in the program
and are led through a
number of steps. These in-
clude: looking at their in-
terests and capabilities; on-
site job observation; and stu-
dying information on what is
required to enter jobs, in-
cluding the required train-
ing.
When students decide on
their vocational goals, they
can go directly into jobs pro-
viding they meet the entry
requirements; they can 're-
main in the Career
Orientation -Action Program
to upgrade their job search
skills or they can enter
other learning programs to
gain the skills required tor
their chosen vocations.
The program, which can
accommodate both part and
full-time students, is open to
anyone 19 years of age or
older who is interested in
making career decisions.
The Career Orientation -
Action Program operates at
the Waterloo Campus of Con-
estoga College, 435 King St.
N. Applications are
available from any Con-
estoga Campus..Infortnation
can be obtained by contac-
ting Lisa Avedon at 885-0300,
Ext. 37.
