Goderich-..__.._.--_...----- SIGNAL—STAR X24..8331 Af . ..si - This past two or three years there has been a lot of talk about how cereals are grown in Europe - how farmers using growth regulators, fungicides and high nitrogen rates are obtaining fantastic yields, It is referred to as intensive cereal management. Earlier this fall I had a chance to listen to Dr. Effland from Kiel, West Germany, speak on intensive cereal management. Dr. Effland works with B.A.S.F. B.A.S.F. are the producers of cycocel, one of the growth regulators used in intensive cereal management. Dr. Effland talked about winter wheat and winter barley. He stated that in Germany most of the research is funded tly by the farmers, not the governmen . A levy is collected based on a farmer's cultivated area. If you don't participate and don't pay the levy you don't get the information. Furthermore, Dr. Effland said, "Farmers are very reluctant to pass on research findings to other farmers who do not par- ticipate in the levy program." He said that in Germany varieties are released that are high yielding, but tolerant to diseases. They could release varieties that were resistant to diseases, but lower yielding. They have gone for the first option. This means their varieties will yield more if the fungicides are applied. Of course, if the fungicides are not applied, they will yield less than a resistant variety. One of the main keys in the European intensive cereal management is their varieties. They have a small number to work with. For instance, in Germany Dr. Effland said there have only been 10 wheat varieties since 1950. At present, one of these varieties accounts for about 40 percent of the acreage. Before a variety is released in Germany, it is tested for three years. Each variety has a specific disease reaction, and a specific need for nitrogen and growth regulators. The researchers will call a meeting when a variety is released. When a variety is released they also recommend a specific production program for this variety. For instance, for Monopol wheat the recommendation might be: - "You need a seeding rate to have a minimum of 30 plants and maximum of 80 plants per square meter. Apply cycocel first treatment at the full tillering stage when the temperature is between five and 15 degrees C at about 2.25 litres per hectare. Apply the second ap- plication of .7 L per ha. at the first node stage. Apply the third application when the flag leaf is out, but before the head has emerged. Use a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 L per ha. If the temperature is above 22 degrees C, use 1.25 L -ha." Different varieties will follow a different production recipe. For disease and insect control the recommendations are even more specific because you have to be -able to identify the specific diseases and insects. • Fertilizer rates and timing are also crucial. Each of their winter wheat varieties respond differently to nitrogen. Some require nitrogen m the fall - some require urea dissolved in water to be applied with the growth regulator. Some require nitrogen la the above manner plus more spoon fed with a fungicide. Again I merely point these recom- mendations out to you to let you know what is meant by intensive management. It was interesting to note that the average yield of winter wheat in Germany was about 85 bushels per acre. Sure better than ours, but we do have farms producing 85 bushels per acre. Also, if their average yield is 85 bushels per acre and some fawners are getting over 160, you know there must be other farmers getting 65 bushels per acre. It was also interesting that only about 5 , percent of the farmers in Germany were using intensive management on their cereals. Dr. Effland thought that another 45 pert 'nt of the farmers were using some of the 'ensive management tools. '1..e crop production techniques were paying off for these 5 percent of the farmers in their protected market. These farmers are selling in the E.E.C. The price of wheat that Dr. Effland quoted was $280 to $320 per tonne. That is about double what we get for our soft winter wheat and maybe $60 to $100 per tonne more than what Monopol is con- tracted at in Ontario. Intensive Cereal Management In Ontario I think the key word is patience. Growth regulators and fungicides will come to Ontario, but don't expect dramatic yield increases over night. Kin Grain, along with Chemagro and Union Carbide, have done some excellent field work this summer. They have shown that we can increase some of our barley yields. To me, the results suggest that if you're already getting yields of 80 or 90 bushels per acre, you probably won't get much higher yields with intensive management with our present varieties. If your yields have dropped 40 or 50 bushels per acre, you may be able to raise those yields to 70 or 80 bushels per acre. The present varieties we have tend NOT to respond to high nitrogen rates. If we apply more N their yield will not increase. This is because of our breeding and testing system. In Ontario we do not breed varieties that will respond to nitrogen. Similarly, in our present variety testing system, all varieties are tested at the same low nitrogen rate. This system will probably not change. The odds of having a variety licenced that will yield well under low nitrogen and will also respond to high nitrogen rates are awfully small. Spring grain varieties just don't work that way. So then, where does that leave regulators and fungicides? Probably at the demon- stration and experimental stage on most farms for another three or four years. There may be a definite use for growth regulators on fields where you have to apply manure. Fields that you know will lodge. There is also probably a place for fungicides such as Bayleton for disease control on some fields some years. However, you will have to know which disease you have - which of those many brown spots on the leaf is a controllable disease. You will also have to know when to put it on. Ross Daily earns media award CFPL-TV-London's Ross Daily has been honoured with the "1983 Media Award" from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. The award has been given annually since 1977 to the media person who reports the unbiased story of agriculture from all points of view. Ross was selected as recipient of the media award, "for excellent reporting of the Ontario farm scene to an urban and rural .Christian School CLINTON - On Nov. 23 the Clinton and District Christian School PTA hosted a turkey and ham supper for their annual meeting. After supper Constable Marshall of the O.P.P. showed slides on drugs and drug abuse. Rev. B. Henshaw also spoke on how drugs had affected his life before he became a Christian. His reason for the abuse of drugs and alcohol is a need to fill a spiritual gap in our lives and if the Lord isn't filling that gap audience. His work has created an awareness and understanding of farm issues among his several publics".

The OFA has a membership of almost 26,000. hosts PTA then the search for something else to find something that will make you escape the reality of life. He encouraged parents to teach children about the love of God and to be consistent in Christian living. A business session followed with the election of new board members to the P.T.A. For Clinton area elected were Chris Bylsma and Marg. Dykstra. For the Blyth area, Pat Poostinga and for Exeter, Yvonne Weverink. The members also gave approval to give financial aid in the purchase of a computer for the school.

Your support is much appreciated by Branch 109. Yours truly, Neil Shaw, Branch 109 Chairman of Public Relations and Publicity. Nursing home opposes report SEAFORTH - Though its 49 violations of the Nursing Home Act have been corrected, Kilbarchan Nursing Home in Seaforth was cited as the fourth highest violator of the Act in Ontario by provincial NDP leader Bob Rae recently. Administrator of the nursing home Irwin Johnston says the timing of the report is un- fair. "I'm not going to dispute the number of violations. They were corrected two months ago. I don't think this is the time to be bring- ing it up. 0 we hadn't done anything to cor- rect them, we should have been reported but not now," he said. The violations were 'published in a sum- mary of the results of nursing home in- spections across the province which were available to the public this year for the first time. Of the 49 violations, 75 per cent in- volved painting, decorating and main- tenance, said Mr. Johnston. Christmas house raises $6,000 KINCARDINE - Santa Mouse's visit to Kincardine this past weekend was a smashing success once again. The House of the Christmas Mouse, a place for children to make a Christmas craft, hear a story, shop in secret and visit with Santa Mouse, one of Santa Claus° special helpers, netted $8,042 for the Cy,y:c Fibrosis Foundation and exhausted organizers are "extremely pleased." Last year, the first time Santa Mouse visited Kincardine, $4,500 was raised for C.F. when 1100 youngsters visited The House of the Christmas Mouse in a house donated for the weekend by Ontario Hydro. • This year, "the house" was in larger quarters in the Kinsmen Pavilion.
