..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.

The award has been given annually since

CLINTON - On Nov. 23 the Clinton and

meeting.
After supper Constable Marshall of the
O.P.P. showed slides on drugs and drug

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

awareness and understanding of farm

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.
