(Photo by Hamilton) Will repair Blyth drain Harm Thalen approached Blyth council last Monday night about sonic work on the municipal drain that runs beside his pro- perty. Each spring the water erodes at the bank eating its way into his property. Mr. Thalen has suggested to council that the drain be covered and has offered to look into the job wit h some financial assistance from council. Mr. Thalen has planned to use tanks or drums and butting both ends off, use then like a drainage pipe filling in around and over the drain. He would then take over the maintenance of the area keeping it neat and tidy. Council left the matter with Mr. Thalen and will discuss figures after the job has been done. Neither council nor Mr. Thalen could be committed to a price for the job. Doug Scrimgeour met with council to go over the site plan agreement for the storage shed on the lot owned by Dianne Wasson and George Radford Construction Ltd. A few minor points on wording in the agreement were either omitted or changed to meet with both council, and Mr. Scrimegour's ap. proval. Details included eavestroughing on the proposed storage shed. This is to stop the flow of excess rainwater into the sewers. Landscaping will not be exactly as on the plan; grading of the lot will be according to council's wishes and engineered costs will be the responsibility of the owner and not council. The site plan agreement was entered into by council with the approval of a bylaw and the property was designated as site plan control area with a second bylaw. Two letters of objection to the building permit to Mrs. Wasson were received. Both parties were concerned with the enforcement of the site plan agreement. Council recommended that a copy of the agreement be forwarded to the lawyer who represents the objectors. In other business council was advised by lawyer Al Mills that the trailer owned by Keith Richmond would be removed by the next meeting or he would have orders for it rmoval of the trailer executed. Mr. Rich• mond had filed for a temporary permit for the trailer while he was building his home in Blyth. The trailer, next to his new home. is now contravening the building standards of the community that council is trying to crforce. Three letters were sent to properts owners concerning properties kept in an unsafe condition. If there is no response council Hill have the properties in question cleaned up and the owners billed for the work done. Council gave a grant to the Godcrich and District Association for the Mentally Retard• ed. The grant was a repeat of last year. There arc two applications on file for senior citizens housing here in Blyth. In a monthly report to council in Huron County Housing Authority reported no vacancies. The pillars in the basement of Memorial Hall came under scrutiny last meeting. Council received a copy of the letter the firm Hill and Borgal architects sent to building code officials. The letter raised questions concerning the fire tro'tcction in the hall, Given the extent of fire protection now in the building could the fire protection around the posts be removed and if not what would be the minimum requirement taking into consideration the extensive sprinkler system now in operation in the basement of the hall' There was none before the updating. Resolutions from Mississauga.Tecumsch. Leamington. Kingston and Bangor Wichlow and McClure townships concerning high interest rates and tax arrears were all filed. The matter of the T. A. Gordon Estate still hangs in limbo. Council has sent letters to both the estate lawyers and their own lawyer Paul Ross concerning the delay in getting cleat title to the land located directly south of the seniors citizens' apartments. Council went into committee of the whole at 10:15 until 12:10 a.m. council will meet again July 2' at ":30. one week early due to the August Civic holiday.

Sunday was another one of those beautiful days and I knew that if 1 didn't start soaping and painting the porch another summer would be gone and the job would only be harder to do the following year. The porch had a complete job done on it five years ago when we were married and by now the rain and snow has taken its toll and is peeling around the sills. But not to fear. I had planned for this job last summer and in preparation had bought two quarts of paint premixed, on sale. It was a good deal. Enamel paint in navy blue and one in alpine blue. Sounds pretty. The doors on the porch are in the pale blue and the back room door was going to match. No sooner said than done. The back room door on the same side of a house and one of the porch doors now matched and in a few quick sweeps with the brush the porch door was done. How handsome the new paint looked. With only two drops of blue on my feet 1 looked at the new quart of navy blue and decided the day was still young. 1 had time to experi- ment. The porch has four columns on either side of the doorway and 1 had toyed with the idea of painting them a construting colour against the white. I carefully opened the tin of navy blue and immediately had my doubts. Klaus wu taking a break from washing the car and with full enthusiasm encouraged me to paint about a foot of space to see how it would look. Well it looked startling in a delicate way of speaking. "Its rather striking" came the comment from the patio and 1 continued on. By the time 1 had my second coat done the in•laws arrived and agreed that the pale blue door just didn't quite match the rest and that if it were white everything would look alright. When I had the third post done my sister and her boyfriend arrived and amid the guffaws and chuckles they managed to ask if 1 had been to Newfoundland. (1 gather the houses are painted in bright colours there). Well, by the time 1 was finished I had grown to dislike the navy blue and regretted ever going through with the work. But it was too late now and the longer I sat in the growing dusk surveying my day's work the more 1 regretted. Plus, while I had managed to avoid too much of the light blue paint. my behaviour near the end of the day proved more reckless and I had a lot of paint to clean off my hands, feet, arms and E.

Today is Monday and I am looking at colours to re -do the pillars. 1 rather hate to eo back to the white because it will take at least three good coats of paint to cover the navy. But then with white I am always safe and the arch will not need painting for at kart ten years. •oo•ootoo If you haven't had a dunce to try your luck at the Celebrity Sweepsteaks don't miss out.

The Ugly American Good sportsmanship is something that even winners have to work at and for some it does not come easily, The case of John McEnroe and his irritating behavior in the past made headlines this month when he came head-on against officials at the Wimbledon tennis classic in England. McEnroe is not known for his cordial and abiding sportsmanship, Rather, he's remembered for his rude and unbecoming behavior which earns him more coverage than his skill with the tennis racquet. The crowning touch in his career came when he defeated that incredible Swede Bjorn Borg for the Wimbledon cup. But the club gave the trophy somewhat grudgingly and marked their displeasure by withholding McEnroe's membership into the club. It was the first time any winner had been slighted. Besides embarrassing himself (doubtful) and representing the poor side of sportsmanship McEnroe also lost the pride that Americans hold in their athletes who compete internationally. it was the tarnishing of that pride that helped steer McEnroe into quieter emotional waters. The young tennis star has marked his change with a haircut and curbing of the tongue. He has now gone on to clinch the American victory in the Davis Cup series and renewed the faith of his country in himself and his sport. While McEnroe has provided colour to the sport in a negative fashion he will, in ail likelihood, continue to make the headlines for both his ability and his beliefs. While he may mature and forge ahead with changes brought about by time he may also earn the respect of those who look co athletes to teach the upcoming generation what good sportsmanship is all about, rather than just winning the battle.

(Photo by Ranney) Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Perhaps a few of us had thous that we were seeing a new allude In the U.S. following it s troubles in the last few years but h seems that under the Reagan administratiods drive to return to the glory of the old days, it also means the return of the "Ugly American." Americans, it seems, just don't want to learn anything from the troubles that began in Vietnam and continued through many other blows to their confidence, including the Iranian crisis and the defeat of Jimmy Carter. Americans would rather just forget those little things happened, and return as Ronald Reagan tells them they shall, to the glary days of the 1950's and before when decisions in Wuhingson could decide who burned a government in a small country half a world away. This attitude, that Americans have the tight to go anywhere in the world and do whatever is necessary to spread their business, toes back to the last century when the U.S. Fleet Forced Japan to open its markets 10 U.S. businessmen. It led to the establishment of "banana republics" in central and South America which did little except set up aoodi#ions favourable to U.S. businesses. Millions have lived in poverty and misery in the last half century because of this policy, an outgrowth of ,tbe "manifest destiny" thought process in the States, a feeling that Americans were the new "chosen" people of God who had the right, nay the duty, to spread their way of life around the world. Canada had several scraps with the manifest destiny belief, from the attack of the Americans before the revolution down there through., the war of 1812 through the "51.40 of Fight" dispute along the west mast and numerous other border skirmish- es, The Americans have been turned back in the only two military excursions they have trade against Canada but in other ways their manifest destiny hu been realized. They didn't have to change governments in Canada to have their businesses welcomed wMb open arms. Since the turn of_ the century, and particularly since the second World War, Canadians have been deliriously tippy to invite Americans in, sometimes almost. twintlag.tbeir arms, to develop our team. ., to bey up our companies, to help to live a livestyle we feel we- can't afford. In the let while things leave changed. The Canadian ipvetnrneet is actually haviag.the peace to a k feels Canadians should own the coupaa ,thet developour ok and gW taouroes. At thea same time use large Canadian companies have tried to move in and take over some of the U.S. large businesses. So last week when Prime Minister Tb Wutilng*, he sides rudesu werewent read a few lectures on whatand bad children they were being. It wouldn't come as a surptise,to them because the grumbling has been stroog coming from both business and government down in the U.S. for weeks now. The Americans are grating angry that Canada should really wish to change the mks. Somehow our decid ing that we should contrast least 50 per cent (imagine a whole 50 per cent) of our oil companies has become a serious threat 10 national security of the United States. Threats of retail atk,o are being shouted, threats which are instantly supposed to make us go back to being nice guys. Mr. Trudeau, of course, went down to Wuhingloe because he wanted to pet started on closing the gap between the rich and poor countries, and so-called Noe'th- Soth Dialogue. Mr. Reagan apparently felt lttle need of doing something ilke that. He was more worried about looting after the interests of American and, of course, American businessmen. Americans, It seems, have not matured after all. What seemed like a new understanding and wisdom spoken by the Carter administration sounded as weakness to a nation used tobullying everyone until it pot its way, feeling at the sane time that what was done was only just. Reagan's stance against Canada's justifiable concern over foreign ownership (can you imagine the U.S. reaction if more than SO per antof their oil industry was owned by foreigners?). his disregard for righting the very problems that bring about the communist takeovers he so expressly fears, and his meddling in countries like El Salvador only seem to spell more heartache and misery for people of smaller countries and ultimately for Americans themselves down the road. One wonders at home bo, after seeing what austerity in social Programs has brought in Britain the last few weeks U the U.S. will have to tellve the dreadful sodas turmoil of the g sen tiob again thanks to the Reagan belief that if you give business a free hand by cut leg taxes at the expense at the poor you will make ever/6W hut Pea& Maim Rotation's road old days were good tier only a Wye* in the world's most powerful mike.

Al2 -- THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 15, 1981 Not many at Mitchell meeting NFU wants meat authority BY DEBBIE RANNEY Only a small handful of farmers gathered at the Upper Thames Elementary School in Mitchell Tuesday nigh to hear a National Farmers Union tN.F.U.I pro. posal to set up a National Meat Authority The meeting was held to discuss supply -management in the re d meat industry. Guest speaker Ted Strain president of the N.F.t . said the group is asking that the federal government bring in a National Meat Authority "It you had a National Meat Authority with tom• missioners appointed to ha'c more control over imports and exports. that would give immediate relief to current economic difficulties produc- ers are experiencing." Mr Strain said. Federal I. gislation would set up an Authoritb which would handle all red meats• beef and park. mutton and lamp and would require lei; islation to otntrol imports and exports. A coniniission er should he appointed to administer the Authority and it should he done as soon as possible. he said. This type of Authority would have the power to regulate imports and ex- ports. it would also have to have power for supply and management. The purpose of quota is so producers can share the available market he In Atihurn said. and this would mean there would be limits on how much the producers of each ommodity could produce for .onsumption. Other ways to regulate supplies would be by export- ing through the commision or encouraging producers to market animals at a lower weight, a form of supple management over and above quotas, RIGHT ACROSS CANADA In his speech. Mr. Strain pointed out the serious situa- tion in the beef and pork industries and said the prob• len- occurs right across Can• ada. "I think it's a little more severe in Ontario. Out west, farmers are losing money too but they have a larger land base --they're just borrowing money to keep going. He talked about the neces- sity of having an organiza• tion like the N.F.V. with farmers as a group. "We are certainly losing our political muscle We need a strong union like the N.F.0 He said farmers arc really feeling a drop in income and last year Ontario took one of the biggest drops. of 29.5 per cent. Last year farmers brought in 515,6 billion but also paid out 512.5 billion in operating costs, almost 1.5 "We are not satisfied at all billion of that in interest. with the bill, because it just The purpose of the union leaves the illusion that it's he said was to have a strong going to control imports." rural community and the production of food which should serve the national interest, "We have not supplied enough beef for ou rselves since 1969 as individuals," he said. Some people say the solut• ion to the problems in the beef industry is to get people to eat more beef, but Mr Strain said even if you're successful in getting people to eat beef, they're going to eat less pork so then the pork producers would be in even more trouble. An import bill has been given second reading in the House of Commons, but Mr. Strain said it doesn't do anything for fanners. "1 wouldn't even say it's designed to protect farmers. There's more in the bill to protect the industrial sector. Because of a confidential - clause to the hill. the public remains uninformed on what the trade is doing, The bill doesn't inclu de an restriction on live cattle meat or imports. He said the Beef Code came into Canada, but all it does is give the illusion of discretionary powers to the Minister of Agriculture. but he's subject to the Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Vacation bible school held The Auburn Daily Vacat- ion Bibk School ended lot Friday evening with a con- cert presented in the Kae United Church at 8 p.m. The Junior choir led the praise program for the even- ing; all classes presented their week's activities in one firm or another, be it finger plays, rhymes, scripture readings, or singing. At the end of the program parents and friends were invited to the Sunday school room to view the craft work that had been done. Sixty-eight pupils were registered for the school with an average attendance of 63. The leaders wish to thank all who assisted in any way to make it such a success.

'146." Now $117." R.W. Madill's Shoes, Men's & Boys' War Blyth y He said in the first five months of this year, more than 87,000 cattle were im- ported into Canada and most of them into Ontario. That number was only 55.000 a year ago and 19.000 the year before that. "It's really those imports that are hurting us." "Another thing we should do is look at what's happen- ing. A federal beef inquiry in 19-'6 found that consumers don't get accurate informat• ion on beef cuts at the meat counter and that marketing information is inaccurate and fragmented. He also said there was a serious inequity in the prices producers receive. "Canada has not produced sufficient beef to feed itself since 19.'0," As soon as you talk about doing something in the beef industry people think of marketing boards, but Mr Strain said one of the proh• lems with marketing boards is that they don't have enough power to do an adequate job and some of them are strictly promotional and those are doomed to failure. He said a system is needed where the producers of var. ious commodities could work with each other, where they're concerned with each other. There were a few members of the audience who couldn't see how the mechanics of such a national agency would work but Marie Bright. re• gional director of the N.F.U. told them the weren't committing themselves to anything --that what was be- ing presented was an idea and a concept. She also said this was the third meeting in Ontario and so far 97 and 96 per cent had signed in favor of the idea. By the end of the meeting however. the proposal had lucked out with 23 voting for and four voting against it.

That's because Ms. Chislett (better known here as Anne Roy, wife of James and co-founder' with him of the Blyth Summer Festival) left her audience with a great deal to think about. To say more than that would be to give something away but there's no pat ending for Ms. Chislett's tightly written warm, funny and poignant play. "There isn't an extra word in that script," a fellow theatre goer commented and he was right. From the often hilarious first act to a deeply moving and involving second half. Quiet in the Land, commis- sioned especially for Blyth by artistic director Janet Amos. is a very fine play. Set in Western Ontario's Amish country during 191' and 1918. most of the action takes place in the kitchens of two families, the Baumans and the Brubachers. Jake (Yock) Bauman, played with quiet strength by Keith Thomas, questions the faith of his fathers, and it's his conflict with his father and his heritage that forms the crux of the play. There's a love interest, of course. and his first scene with Katie Brubacher (Blyth veteran) Kate Trotter in her best local perfomance yet) is charged with emotion. He removes her bonnet and in the context of time and place, a very erotic gesture. Janet Amos has some of the play's funniest lines, as Katie's mother, Lydie Bru- bacher Lydie wants a tele- phone like her neighbours the O'Roukes and she actu• ally used what the Amish call the devil's instrument on a visit there, "I couldn't have the Catholics thinking the Amish were afraid of the devil.., now could I?" she explains. Blyth newcomer Sam Ro• binson is excellent as Lydie'.s husband Zepp Brubacher, the church deacon who's peacemaker and spokesman for his community with the outside world, the "high Coale.'. That outside world was of course especially threatening to the German-speaking, pa- cifist Amish during the first war and Quiet in the Land again and again makes us feel their predicament. La Leche League tours birthing room at Bruce La Leche League of Huron County North gra- ciously accepted an invitation by the County of Bruce General Hospital to tour their new birthing room and listen to a presentation on natural childbirth and Caesarean de- livery. Myrna Inglis, Dietician, welcomed the mothers and fathers to the hospital. and introduced Marilyn Coffman. R.N.. to speak about child- birth and bonding. The fam- ily centred maternity care program was begun five years ago to promote strong BLYTH INN FOR YOUR ENTERTAil M.rr41 July 17 & 18 ;BluewaterHighway YOUR HOSTS -HAROLD AND THELMA • family units. Pre and post natal classes involve both mothers and fathers. Parents are encouraged to participate in a "bonding time" imme- diately after delivery. Room- ing in has met with much success. Parents are given feeding and bathing instruct• ion, and siblings are allowed to visit and hold the new baby. Dr. R.J. Creighton, M.D.. discussed Caesarean section as another form of delivery. noting that the mother and father may have the baby as soon as the mother is awake, in order to ensure bonding. The reasons for Caesaren delivery were given. such as prolonged labour, baby in distress. bleeding, and the procedure of the operation was described, with available choices made known. The birthing room pro- vides a homelike setting, giving a relaxed atmosphere. along with medical equip- ment and skill readily avail- able if necessary. Mothers who wish to use the room must fulfill requirements for a good candidate. The mother is coached through her labour and delivery. ideally followed by a two hour bonding period. The birthing bed may move to many positions. all undo r the control of the labouring mother. Following delivery. mothers who are nursing. may nurse immediately and continue to demand feed throughout her stay in the hospital. The birthing room with its brass bed ce rtainly helps families off to a good start. Games every night at londesboro The Lotideshoro Diamond shifted ina high gear last week with games played every tight. The first game was rained out but the Sum- merhill Ladies found it dry enough to play their game with the ladies losing to Brussels. On Tuesday evening in the early game the Expos slipped past the Blue Jays by a 25 • 17 score. The Pet Wee girls played out of town in Goder- ich having little difficulty in defeating their Goderich op- position. In the late game the midget girls played a tough game losing by a run, 14 to 13 to the Benmiller girls. Wednesday in the early game tie Pee Wee boys had an easy time beating the Goderich boys. The Aliboro Allatars bolstered by a few Londesboro Lions were vict- orious over Mark's Maraud- ers in a Men's SIo-Pitch game. In the Squirt League the vistors from Auburn had a tough time with the Mets as the Mets squeaked out a 3 run victory. The Bantam Boys played in Godcrich and completed a Londesboro sweep scoring a win over the Goderich Boys. In late action, Men's Slo-Pitch once again. provided the enter• mainment as Neil's Rene- gades took on the team from Holmesville and came up on top. Friday and Saturday the Londesboro Lions travelled to Vanastra to play in a Sio•Pitch Tournment. Unfor- tunately they came away with only a lot of fun, having won one of their three games.

David Fax is authentic as the iron -willed, ultimately paranoid, old patriarch. There's an excellent sup, porting cast which includes Beth Amos (yes. she's Janet's mother) as Hannah Bauman; another Blyth ve- teran, William Dunlop as slow and steady Menno Miller: Graham McPherson as Catholic neighbour Paddy "Rourke: Dean Hawes as a and snarky recruiting .,iu.er and young Denise Kennedy, a Ryerson acting student who plays Martha Brubacher. Four young local children, Peter Cook. De- anna Bearss. Susie Walsh and Rachel Thompson, don't say much but look just right for their pans. John Ferguson's revolving set is superb: the first night audience gave it a big round of applause on its first change, and the kitchens are authentic and unobtrusive. The same can be said for Guy Sprung's direction. The man who won accolades for his +direction of Paper Wheat and Balconville gets the best out of Anne Chislett's fine play. There's never a lag of a miscue and the good humour the dedication and the com- plexity of the Amish world comes sailing through Costumes by Kern Hack- ett and lighting by Louise Guinand are well done too.

Love Or Money entertaining - The one certainty about Carol Bolt's Love Or Money is that the Blyth Summer Festival has once again conic up with a sound. entertaining production sure to please its audiences. Everything else about the play, however, is mired in uncertainty, and that's just where the strength of this study into the strange and unexplained disappearance of theatre impressario Am• brose Small Ii •;, The play. .hich opened July 7 and was written especially for Blyth, takes that one incident. Small's disappearance. then sets nut to wind a speculative tale of mystery and intrigue about possible causes. Only early in the product ion is it fleetingly considered that the theatre magnate had made flight to another land on the same day. December 19,1919, that he sold his chain of houses for S1,7 million. His wife, Theresa. is the most firm subscriber to that explanation, adding her husband has a habit of vanishing unannounced oc- casionally. An actress, Clara Smith, played by Patricia Vanstone, who was one of Small's mistresses Ione of a supposed many encouraged by his theatre ties) is also reluctant to admit her 'Ambie' may have been murdered. As the play progresses. however, each by omission gradually seems to concede the real possibility of murd• er,That belief is encouraged by Davin, played by Graham McPherson. Davin, a family friend and employee of Small's, is lover antagonist to Theresa, played by Diana Beishaw. Davin, in his effort to establish his own love for Theresa, constantly points out her husband's frequent indiscretions, but is frustrat- ed in his attempt by the religiously dogmatic wife, who at one point even admits die and Ambrose "have link in common except our marri- age." His love, then, gives Davin a motive and so. too, does his lust for money- s hich Amhn,se is reluctant to give to finance his em- ployee's plans for developing moving facture theatres. Clara, too. has her rea- sons. Up to that point in her career, ner only claim to stage fame was an insignific- ant part on a chorus line. But Ambrose had promised her love of sorts. and a romance in Havana when the two ran off together. Yet she was only one of many, and the fine scheme never material- ized. Although professing her commitment to her husband. Theresa. in light of her husband's backstage man- oeuvres. also has motives which are neatly covered in her spiritual cloak. The most intriguing char• ogler is the Small's maid. Mrs, Pye, played with re- markable effectiveness by Blyth veteran Anne Anglin. Her domestic skills are at best questionable, but her talents as • a psychic accenuate the tension. Layne Coleman is equally strong_ as detective Austin Mitchell of the Metro Tor- onto force who is in charge of the investigation. His per- formance as the rather un- emotional officer with unin• tensional wit helps set up the successful blend of humour and terror in the play. Both detective Mitchell and Mrs. Pye have the most humour• ous lines in the play. The detective also becomes invol- ved in the intrigue. His eye for 1 hrresa complicates his interest in the murder as an officer of the law, and his own designs serve to raise further questions about the explanation of the disappear- ance. A unique and imaginative production network serves only to embellish the work of the performers, Director Keith Batten wraps the fine set of Tony Abrams, the lighting of Louise Guinand and sound effects of John Roby tightly around Bolt's plot.

Mr. Shillinglaw. who also farms at R.R. 1 Londeshoro, is firmly cons inced of the benefits of rotation "The whole package seems to fit so well together," he said in a recent phone interview. "Each crop seems to help the other. Each tends to increase yields." lust as each roan had a sin. tar career in the past. the circumstances leading to each man's support for crop rotatare roughly the same. Mr. .1 aylor, who grew up on his parents' farm not far front his current operation, returned to farming in 1964. a d immediately opted for r, . ttrruous corn. "Corn pro• du; lien was reatls a piece of cake at that time We lust didn't hast ars of the pi,; hlems that we hast now " h. explained. DISTURBING RESULTS Prior to his return. he added. most land in the area had been used for mixed farming. with most things done in rotation. Soon, hors - ever, some disturbing results began showing up, and these were made especially-- dear as he Nought or rented neighbouring land w hich had been in rotation. "We thought we were doing a good job with contin• uous corn." he noted, "but we were getting Netter yields on the new farms." The gradual. steady de- cline in yields prompted an extended search to find the cause. Mr. Taylor tried ncw. reportedly better hybrids, al tered his fertilizer rates and used different tilling techniques and after nothing seemed to work, concluded, "none of those things com- pensated for that basic soil we started with. i talked to a lot of people trying to make some sense of this thing. There are some conditions, like soil type, where guys are doing very well with continu- ous corn. If you're satisfied with that sort of yield. you can be satisfied with contin- uous corn. "You return a lot of organ - "but it doesn't produce the compounds to produce the stable soil which you get after sod. The organic level becomes less and Tess until you reach a level."

The most dramatic increase came when corn was planted fol- lowing sod; corn yield in- -creased in a more gradual slope when in rotation; and the chart shows a steady decline for continuous corn. Mr. Taylor prepared his chart for the decade beginn- ing in 1969.

His rotation. a two-year program. usually consists of 40 per cent of the land in corn for two years. while 25 per cent is in soybeans and the remainder is in barley and wheat. He tries to undersecd 10 to 15 per cent of the barley with red cover. There is an amazing paral• lel in the lives and work of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Shilling - law. It begins w ith their earlier occupations with chemical companies. and continues through their farming interests and ulti• mate conversion to faith in crop rotation. "I only came into this arra and started fanning eight years ago." explained Mr Shillinglaw who. while he was with the chemical fiirnt, kept his hand in agriculture by farming on the weekends in Ontario Counts. near New• market. where his parents farm. "Most of the land I bought had been in continuous corn for years,- he said. "What was bothering me was that I couldn't get as a god a yield as my neighbours ..'ho had used mixed crops. "We almost did the same thing as Laurence. We looked at all the possibilities: an insect problem. we changed varieties. the whole bit. and none of those things seemed to be the answer. So we came to t} e conclusion it had to be soil structure." UNSATISFACTORY For Mr. Shillinglaw, the problems came to a head in 19'7 when his corn yield on an index of 100 simply he• came unsatisfactory. The FORAGE SUPPlyEi +1T JPLY1 881 -- 83 TRADITIONAL APPROACH — Both Laurence Taylor (above) and Bruce Shillinglaw, who each have farms at R.R. 1, Londesboro, have returned to crop rotation systems after next year he put the field into barley, then followed that up with a year of red clover. He put it back into corn in 14110 with "exactly the same varie ty. exactly the same field. and we got two and one- quarter times the yield" compared to 19". Really. he needed no more convincing after that. but there are further advantages. "That was just one," noted Mr. Shillinglaw. "hut we could see other improve• ments. The number of passes to prepare a proper seed bed was much fewer. We didn't have the weed problem. the corn didn't crust and it reduced the necessity of using insecticides." Mr. Taylor agrees. For one thing, he says he uses onls about ten herbicides in the course 'of his two-year pro. gram. In addition, for the environmentally.conseious farmer. rotation provides a formidable opponent to soil erosion.

Technology can help BY ROBERT KUNCK Astetlontist When many of the com- panies involved in the agri- culture industry as well as Statistics Canada start com• ing out with foreboding pre- dictions such as one half the farmers presently operating will be out of business by the end of the decade. it is time for growers to realize the importance of staying in step with technology to maximize every single dollar spent. One of the most important and controversial develop- ments in fertilizer technology to come along in the last few years involves the increasing use of sulphur in combina- tion with the usual nitrogen, phosphorous and potash blends. The question is simple Do we need sulphur and if so, why" For man years it has hcen known that plants need ap- proximately 1h nutrients to grow, The yield and quality of an crop can he only as good as the most limiting nutrient. If a plant has enough of all but one nutri- ent to produce six tons of good hay, and only enough of that one nutrient to produce four tuns Of poor hay. it will he four tons of poor ha% you cut. As Ontartans, we are for tunate in that our soils are still quite young and able to supply most of the nutrients a top quality crop needs. In the past we have only needed to replace nitrogen. phos pho:ous and potash through crops have been mining our reserves of calcium. magnes- ium. sulphur. Linc. boron. etcetera. Fur several reasons however. the sttuatton is changing with respect to sulphur. In many cases. crop yields and quality are now being held back by a lack of sufficient sulphur. So why do we need sulphur now. and why didn't Dad need it? There are several reasons. First. Dad was ap. plying quite a bit of sulphur to his crops though he didn't know it. Fertilizers them selves used to contain a lot of what were always considered impurities. one of which was sulphur. For example. single super phosphate was used almost exclusively in blends as a phosphorous source. and it brought along with it 12 per cent sulphur. Now the "purer" triple super phos• phases, mono and diammon- ium phosphates with virtual. Is no sulphur are used almost exclusively. Furthermore, acreages used to be smaller and better use was made of sulphur rich manure. Now it is often economically unfeasible to spread manure over vast acreages. Iln the ease of legume forage land, it is not a good practice to spread manure as the nitrogen will encourage grass growth.) Pesticides in the past were for the most part, sulphur based. Again. sulphur was unintentionally supplied. In spite of all that is said about the sulphur in acid rain. ten or more wars ago prior to environmental legis- lation, and hack when a great deal of coal was burned, rain w as richer in sulphur (and more acid). Rain remains ;i source, though much less of one than in the past (supply - Farmers must maximize every dollar spent ing perhaps 1S Ib. over a year). Along with Tess bring sup- plied, with increasing yields and striving for higher pro- teins. the demand for sul- phur by a crop has increased. And. so, sulphur is being stretched from both ends. so to speak. Needs have in• creased while at the same time, inputs have been great. ly reduced. VARIED AMOUNTS Different crops tend to vary in the amounts of sul- phur they need. Because sulphur's principal role in the plant is in the building of protein. the high protein crops have greater sulphur needs. Thus the legume for- ages (alfalfa. clover. birds - foot. trefoil) and beans need 30 to SO Ib. of sulphur per acre for optimum yield and protein levels. This is where the greatest responses to sulphur can he expected and are seen. As a rule of thumb. in plant proteins for every 12 nitrogen units present. there must be one sulphur. How ever, because of the incffi• ciency of roots in picking up sulphur. to get this level into plants. for every five pounds of nitrogen the plant gets. it must receive one pound of sulphur. So, in the case of alfalfa which produces its own nitrogen. a 300 pound per acre nitrogen need must be met with about b0 pounds of sulphur, If at the most 30 are supplied from rain and soil reserves, the rest mi„t be applied in a fortilizcr. In the soil sulphur behaves much the same way as nitrogen. It can he very FARMERS: We supply and erect farm buildings. TRY US!

As with nitro• gen, a soil test can give only a rough indication of sulphur levels as they can be up and down depending on the wea• ther. The best ways available to recognize a need are by taking a leaf sample and having it analysed; by using it and thoroughly checking yields and protein levels for a response. a sulphur need can be seen. Unfortunately the similar• ity between sulphur and nitrogen goes beyond their behaviour in the soil. Visual deficiencies are also very similar (general yellowing or paleness) and so what you may know as a need for nitrogen may in fact be sulphur starvation. Again a leaf test is the only way to be We, Finally. the need for sul• phur has long been recog- nized in many parts of Eu• rope and the USA.

It d dn't. The Alderices' plan was to grow alfalfa for seed, and for those five years tney tried to make the rotated crop a profit-making venture. This summer, they gave up the attempt after, at best, only marginal success. "We wanted to give it a fair chance," explains Vern, a cash crop farmer at R.R. 2 Kippen, about his five-year plan, "Just to make sure something wasn't affecting it in one of the years. " W e were looking for samething we could grow for crop mations, and make some money at it. But we just couldn't get enough for production." They felt taking the seed route would likely be more profitable than growing for - ALFALFA GROWERS — Vern Alderice and son -Garry this spring gave up their five-year attempt to grow alfalfa for seed. Vern says bees In the area are reluctant to work on the plants, which makes It impossible for pollination to take place.

"The cattle- men," says Vern, "they want to buy it for nothing, so we looked for something we could do ourselves for profit.' "We got a next to zero yield," adds Garry. "We'd have been better off not starting the swather or the combine." According to Vern the failed project was not for lack of trying but instead is attributable to the fickle honey bee. "We couldn't get it polli- nated," says Vern. "The honey bees don't like to work on it. The stamen (the pollen producing part of the plant) in the flower, it trips them. It flips up and hits them, so they don't like to work on it. The Alderices gave the bees every opportunity to perform. "1 don't know how many hives we put in the field," calculates Vern. but it didn't matter. The bees, evidently, took exception to being pushed around by the plants. "That's a story in itself," says Pat Lynch, a soil and crops specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Stratford, who a- grees the egressive plants are no attraction to honey bees. "There just aren't enough natural pollinators." BETTER POLLINATORS That, mainly, is the reason the majority of alfalfa seed is produced in Western Can- ada. They have more hospit- able pollinators known as the leaf cutter bees. and Mr. Lynch, along with the Alder - ices, speculates that differ- ent weather conditions are another factor. "In Western Canada," explains Vern, "they use the leaf cutter bee. But you've got to raise them, and feed them because they don't produce honey. That's a year-round job. You have to be a large commercial seed company to make that pay. I don't know of anyone here (Ontario) who's doing that." The only success, the marginal success, the Alder - ices had was in a narrow band adjacent to a bush area, it a strip of about ten feet, but that was hardly enough b make the venture worth while. SEED CLEANER A visit to the seed cleaner provided the final proof.

ESTIMATES MAP$ SUPPLIED got it cleaned up in Harri- ston," explains Vern, "and the fellow there said I'm the only person in Ontario foolish enough to try to grow alfalfa seed. And we had such poor luck, we decided to throw in the sponge." If one is intent on growing forage for seed, an alterna- tive to alfalfa which is often put down is red clover. The Alderices had considered it, and are considering it now, but they had reasons for trying alfalfa first. For one thing, says Vern, you can beta higher price for alfalfa, but beyond that alfalfa is much better for the soil because it has a better root system. Another reason is alfalfa stays down for five }oars while red clover needs to be seeded every year. Still, the Alderices now realize red clover is a safer, though less profitable. for- age seed crop. Laurence Taylor, a cash crop farmer at R.R. I Lon- desboro has incorporated red clover seed production into his crop rotation system. For him, it has proved a profit- able venture, both in terms d real dollars and in ways difficult to figure financially. He estimates his seed production, now in its third experimental year. provides a gross return of about 5120 an acre. The conclusion I've come to about a forage crop," remarks Mr. Taylor, "is if it returns between S100 and $150, it justifies the produc- tion costs." Without considering the indirect benefits, red clover. according to the standards Mr. Taylor sets. already meets his requirements. But there's more. In the two years after he replaces the red clover with corn, he estimates his per acre yield jumps by at least 35 bushels r roughly S120. Another residual benefit to the corn crop from the red clover is a deposit of about 140 lbs of nitrogen. In addition, the red clover affords him erosion and weed control, cuts down an the amount of corn rootworm chemicals he needs and the structure of the soil benefits also. And the red clover a pacifist of a plant compared to alfalfa. is more suited to the area. "The flower is completely different 'from that of alfalfa). so the insects can collect pollen from the red clover." explains Mr. Lunch. In the cases of Mr. laslor and the Alderices. The VVi; tues of growing red clover for forage is significant. Mr. Taylor is already benefiting, and for the Alderices 'here is a readily availkbte at►• rna- tive worths of consider:own.

Currently 100 per cent of corn growers fertilize their crop, while only 50 per cent of hay growers fertilize their forage crops and only 15 per cent fertilize their pastures. This practice, adequate fertilization of pastures, would greatly increase alfalfa production and maintain a much more productive stand for longer periods of esta- blishment. ESTABLISHMENT The present thought is that alfalfa releases a water solu• ble chemical that inhibits alfalfa establishment and growth. Therefore, select a field which was not in alfalfa the preceding year. In the past we have thought that for every ton of dry matter production, alfal- fa removes approximately 12 pounds of P205 and 60 pounds of K20. Recent fin- dings in Pennsylvania have shown over a three year period. using the top 20 per cent of the hay producers studied. an average of 14 pounds of P205 and 66 pounds K20 was removed in each ton. Dr. Donald Myers of Ohio State University ad- vises growers in his area that 14 pounds P205 and 60 pounds K20 be applied an- nually for each ton of alfalfa removed. He recommends split applications. We must maintain the P (phosphorous) and K (potash) tests in our soils at around .0 (Bray 1) and 400 (C.E:C. capacity) respective- ly. Therefore. one must in- crease the amount of fertili- zer that is annually applied according to the total amount removed. Work done during June, July and August of 1980 at the Glenn Hayter Farm, Zur- ich and the Stuart Steckle Farm at Blake. substantiates the importance of high soil values. At the Hayter Farm, start- ing with P and K soil values of 44 and 210, 22 pounds of P205 and 101 pounds of K20 were applied June 10, after the first cut. After 31 days, a second cut was taken and tissue samples were ga- thered. Tissue phosphorous levels were just over mini- mum, and potassium levels were low to deficient. After the second cut was removed, 38 pounds P205 and 108 pounds K20 were applied and 45 days Tater the third cut was taken and tissue samples were gathered. Tis- sue phosphorous levels were better this time, and potas- sium levels were improving. It was apparent the alfalfa had removed most of the available K in the soil and was using up the applied K as fast as it was becoming available. Also, the high soil calcium was slowing down magnesium uptake on this high Ph soil. The use of a magnesium bearing potash was going to be necessary to keep the whole plant system, as well as the soil, in balance, as well as give economical and efficient uses from the applied fertilizer. Yield of the three cuts was calculated as avenge bale weight x No. of bales. First cut was 4.5 ton per acre, second cut 1.5 ton per acre and third cut 1.25 ton/ac. Whole plant samples of the second cut were sent to the University of Guelph for protein analysis. On an "as fed" dry matter basis (89.81% dry matter) the protein content was 27.21 per cent. High fertility will provide the root reserves for rapid uniform regrowth. As one harvests alfalfa at a younger stage of growth, bud to prebloom, the percentage of K removed in the forage is higher.

When his neighbours lost their new dog, his son used the silo as a look -out and "spotted it (the dog) right away" said Mr. Higenell. "You an see everything from up there!" Besides this obvious at• traction. however, silos have other, more important uses. mainly storage of feed. For this purpose, different silos are specially designed to accommodate a farmer 's needs. The four types of silos common in this area are open concrete, sealed concrete. sealed steel and bunker silos. To a person unfamiliar with bunker silos, it seems odd these structures are called silos. The two cement walls which contain the feed give the structure an appear• ance similar to a building. Feed is piled in the silo. and removed by a front-end loader. Brian Miller, a beef farmer from R.R. 3 Exeter, has a bunker silo. He chose it because of the lower cost compared to upright silos. "They seem to have become more popular in the last 15 years." he said. "The bun- kers are about three or four times less (expensive) than uprights." He reported there is some loss with bunkers. but "it's a trade-off with the initial cost.'' Cost is a major factor when a farmer is considering the type of silo t0 choose. as it is in any major purchase. The upright silos are more expen- sive. but they have other advantages. such as less spoilage. LEAST EXPENSIVE Open cement silos are the least expensive of the up. right models since they have top unloading facilites. Often a top is put on the open silos to limit spoilage, but Bob Eckert, R.R. 2 Seaforth who has an open silo. says the top is not necessary. The Eckerts have opted. with three of their four silos. to go with seated steel struct• ures by Harvestore. These structures are made of glass fused to steel. This material is similar to that used in water heaters. Frank Kints. R.R. 1 Woodham. a turnip farmer. refers to Harvestores as the "cadillac of storage." A silo which is comparable to the sealed steel structure is made of sealed cement. Tom Schoonderwoerd. R.R. 2 Dublin. built Mr. Higenell's sealed cement silo. He said these silos have evolved as a result of a trend toward sealed storage. There are clear advantages NEW SILO—This sealed cement silo, belonging to Charles Higenell, was built by Schoonerwoerd Brothers a few weeks ago. Read RURAL VOICE The magazine for the whole farm family toward having a sealed strut• tare either cement or steel, rather than an open silo. The sealed structures are closed at the top to minimize the amount of oxygen inside the silo. Jim Shaw, an advertis- ing administrator at Harve. store in Guelph explained that by removing the oxygen, the fermentation process of the feed is retained at a certain level and there is less breakdown of nutrients. "The result is a very palata- ble. high nutrient feed." He explained that with an open top. there is "erosion by air" and a great percent• age of nutrients is lost. Another major advantage of settled storage is bottom unloading. Mr. Schoonder- woerd explained since the silo is filled through the top. the newest feed will be at the top, It is better for the animals to adjust gradually to the new feed. so the bottom unloader will mix the already fermented feed w ith the newer so there is a gradual change. With a top unloader, the new feed will be fed to the animals first without any fermentation and this will be too great a shock, said Mr. Schoonder- woerd. A major consideration be- tween sealed steel and con- crete is price. Many farmers tend to invest in concrete because of the lesser initial cost, according to Mr. Shaw. "In initial price, there is a dramatic difference, but the difference lies in what value you see in the future. We (Harvestore) have a 30 year track record; man) in the province have been opera- tion for 20 plus years and they're almost as good as new.''

Bunkers, concrete or steel silos all have their defenders SERVICE BAY—The bottom of sealed cement silos are equipped with a Mx foot service bay which is used to service the bottom unloaders. Silo types all have advantages Continued from page hush cited a study at the l.ni'ers0 of Wisconsin from 1956 to I9h9. In concrete silos. ten per cent of the dry matter was lost and eight per cent was lost in glass -lined units, The article questioned the reason for the Targe capital outlay for such a small percentage gain. The article also stated that agri- cultural lenders are becom- ing more favourable to sealed cement storage. Service also becomes a major concern for a farmer who is investing so much in a silo. Mr. Shaw said, "We're available to service a farmer 24 hours. 36S days a year." The Harvestore unloaders can be removed to be ser- viced. Every three years (or sooner if the farmer requests it) the structure is tested for sealing ability. If anything is wrong, the structure can be resealed, said Mr. Shaw. Concrete sealed silos have a six foot service bay under the feed, so the service men have immediate access to the unloading equipment. Schoonderwoerds provide immediate service at any time. according to Mr. Schoonderwoerd, for they realize the importance of having the equipment in operation. Mr. Schoonder- woerd secs a great advan- tage in the fact that there are several concrete dealers, so if one dealer does not provide satisfactory service, another dealer can help. A.O. Smith, an American company associated with Harvestore has developed a system where the steel is formed. punched and then the glass is fused. Mr. Shaw compared putting feed in these structures to preserves in glass jars. In the fer- mentation process, an acid is produced, and "acid won't affect glass at all, so that's why we add glass." said Mr. Shaw. In turn, he felt that concrete would not be able to withstand the acid test. The Harvestores have a concrete base, but it is not open to the feed. "The forage isn't sit- ting on a concrete base," he said. FROM THE TOP DOWN Harvestore structures are built from the top down, according to Mr. Eckert. There is a heavy concrete base at the foot of the structure, then the top is put on. When each successive ring of sheets is bolted on, the structure is jacked up further. Testing for pressure is done once the structure is completed. Cement silos are built from the bottom. The Schoonder- woerds construct ten feet of the wall each day, so the cement has a chance to dry. On Tom Schoonderwoerd's property, there is a building which resembles a silo, but is much smaller. He has pians to make it into a workshop in the future. Even in the hot sun. the building remains cool. He remarked concrete does not change temperature as rapidly as steel. The forage in the concrete silo will change temperature gradually. When the sun is really hot, he consider the steel silos to be similar to "pressure cookers." Since the structures are sealed, breather bags are necessary in Harvestores. These Targe bags, placed at the top of the structure, take in the difference in air pres- sure. When the air expands or contracts, the breather bags prevent an explosion or collapse. Mr. Schoonderwoerd said concrete silos don't need the breather bags, although some dealers feel it necess- ary to use them. "It is just an added expense, and I advise the farmers that they don't need them, but we'll give them to them if they want," he said. The differences between the types of silos are many, and even within the same lines, the structures vary with respect to size and type of feed they handle. Investing in a silo takes much consideration so the buyer's needs are satisfied. However, one thing is cer- tain; it must be fairly high in case a neighbour loses his dog.

When you have all the hay in. mix all of thc daily samples together and take one .ample for analysis. Sampling kits arc available from local agricultural offices. Thi ministry's feed advi• sort' service offers three types of feed analysis to help farmers formulate balanced dairy rations f't pe one. for is a basic test measuring dry matter and crude pro• teen Type two includes the basic test and provides great • et detail. the amount of calcium. magnesium, potas- sium and phosphorus, for a cost of S13. Type three combines type one and type two analyses with tests for trace elements - manganese. copper and zinc. at ;i cost of S16. Producers can have forages tested for digestible protein for an additional S8 with any of the three types of analysis. "Since minerals arc im- portant in dairy cattle nutrit• ion, we recommend type two or type three tests." says Mr. Dolson. "Type three is useful when there is a health problem in the herd, and we aren't sure whether or not it is feed oriented." Tests results are returned to the farmer after two to three weeks. A copy of the analysis is also sent to the local agricultural represent- ative so farmers can contact the local office if there are any questions. Mr. Dotson recommends that farmers sample first. second and possibly third cuts of hay. Protein and other nutrients may differ greatly because there are fewer grasses after the first cut.

In -barn drying fan saves BY DEBBIE RANNEY The first question one is tempted to ask when talking about the fan Tom Melady of R.R. 2, Dublin uses to dry his hay in the barn is if it's such a good system why doesn't every farmer own one? Indeed, that's the question Tom asked when he% took a tour with Dennis Martin of the Clinton Agricultural of- fice and four or five other farmers down to the Wood. stock arca and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. The system consists of a fan with a tunnel out from it and along the floor levels of the barn trapdoors open to allow the air to go through the piled bales of hay. Tom first started looking at the system a year ago when the four farms they toured had them. The first farm had it installed in 1952 and had been using it every year since then. Tom Melady can put hay in sooner Usually people dry their cut hay out in the field and then put it in the barn. "We cut the hay, get it as dry as possible in the field. try not to get any ram on it, then take it into the barn and complete the process in there," Tom says. "You actually get more drying from the wind than you do from the sun. All the drying in the barn consists of is a big fan forcing air through the hay --taking the SHOWING THE NEW SYSTEM — Tom Melady (right) and his helper for the summer, Mike Kelly, sit on bales on top of a slatted floor to show how Tom's system for drying hay works. There Is a tunnel leading out from a Targe fan. At the floor level of the tunnel there are trap doors that open to allow the air to go through the slatted floors up through the hay.

CLINTON m-34+7 OLD TOWN NALL BUILDING EMIR 2.15-1 140 outside air that is normally being blown through it in the field after it's been baled up. One advantage of the sy- stem is its flexibility. For one thing you can start earlier in the day. Every day this year Tom started at 12 o'clock. On One really overcast day he put in 1600 bales and he knows of one other person who had cut hay the same day. Tom put his hay in on Thursday. Friday and Satur. day and the other farmer said his wasn't fit to go in any of those days. Another big advantage is the quality. Tom wants as high a quality as possible for his dairy cows and so has to be haying the first two weeks of June. NOT ENOUGH SUN Usually there's not enough sun at that time of the year but with his new system. Tom has the drying power he needs. with the early hay in June he gets a nice type of fine stuff. Being able to hay in the first two weeks of June lends itself Netter to getting three cuts off. Tom said he should hopefully be able to get another cut in the middle of July and then another in the last week of August. There again he said you're getting into shorter days and not as much heat. Of course as with even system. there are also dis- advantages such as the weight. Since you're putting hay in tougher you're carry- ing extra weight --the weight of the moisture therefore. Meladys made the bales smaller. The barn must be full of hay to last right through the yea. and the new system has cut down on Tom's storage space by 400 or 500 bales so he said it might he better if you were designing the sys- tem for a new barn. Barn fires are a common calamity in the summer. lout with this system the nay doesn't heat at all since the drier is passing the air through. It also doesn't cause car nictitation which means that if the hay goes over a certain temperature. then the pro- tein is in a form not available to animals. This way. greater percentage of the protein should he available to the animal. Since Tom installed the system in an old Karn he had to work with sonic repair costs. He had the whole thing done by a contractor and the actual labour hill was about 51400. The fan that puts out the air was about S850, materials were around SII400 and he pre sumed that the electrical hill would be between S20(' and 5350 so that the whole sys- tem costs between S42(X). 54400. But to him thr .nst is worth it. INCREASED PRODUCTION "I'm almost sure we'll have increased production from feeding higher qualit} feed." he said. Tom's feeding system is based on corn silage and circ hay. The corn silage iv put in by a custom operator 1enc has a small investment in hale handling equipmcrt which depre‘ fates very slo Iv. The biggest price equipment he has is a haler In the traditional me thee' of having. "veu get intra forage system where v„u want to put up high qu.iltti feed. You almost have to have your own harvesting system which involves large expenditures on such things as forage harvesters and forage wagons." Tont said. So far Toni seem,. (,leased with his investment .end thus year will probably be taking in about ".000 hales off 40 acres.

BY PAT LYNCH er if you checked your Soils acid Crops Spedallst population in corn and beans. While checking the bean fields we notice a range in plant counts from 1.7 to 3.3 plants per foot. 1 have wondered about fertilizer this past two weeks as well. I have heard a lot of the cost price squeeze this spring. I have heard a lot about the very sensitive interest rate issue. But then I wonder if things are so bad, why are less than 20°n of Ontario farmers soil testing. That means that 4 of your neigh- bours do nut soil test. How on they afford not to? How an they at one time talk abort the high cost of cropping and high interest rates and at the next time not use this service. 1 can safely say that 4 of your neighbours are either losing yield be• cause they are not putting on enough. or they are wasting money by putting on too much, Even if they only reduce their fertilizer costs by 2 or 53,000.00 a year or increased their crop output by an equivalent amount it makes a difference. May he not a big difference any one year, but certainly over 10 years. That would amount to S20,000. to 530.000. less debt goad and at today's interest rate that's substantial. There s an old adage that states "what you make k not as important as what you spend". Some of the farmers that art now having close en- counters with their bank managers or feed companies may be too late to soil test and walk their fields. How• ever, it is not too late for many others. Check and secure your investment now. SOIL TEST NO GOOD? Before you say soil testing During the past two weeks I have had three experiences that have led me to wonder about your crops. The inti• dents are in no way connect- ed. The first of these concerns the Soil and Crop Improvement colored bean study. There are about 20 coloured bean fields in Hur- on and Perth Counties that Chris Allcott, my summer assistant, and 1 are watching. We check for insects, dis- ease, emergence, weeds etc. last week we walked a number of these fields. The second incident concerns a visit with a farmer who is suffering from the low hog prices. The third incident was a plane ride on Sunday evening. Don Jack from Milverton took me for a crop inspection from the air. All three of these incidents make me wonder how often your neighbour walks his fields. (1 know you would certainly check your crops). For every 100 acres of corn he plants he has about S2S,000, invested. In some cases your neighbours have made that investment and then walked away from it. Walking the bean fields, Chris and I found two spots d perennial smart weed and one spot of perennial ground cherry. All of which should be eradicted now. While we were walking those fields we kooked over some back fenc- es. One thing I can say is if that's "a little bit of• twitch" in those back fields. than the Pope is a little bit Catholic and the Queen is a little bit English I saw some of your neigh- bours' crops and now I wonder about yours. 1 word• YOU'RE 'uukii, INVITED to a is no good, I want you to realize a couple of things, First of all, the soil test is a guideline. not the last word, As well, most of the criticism that 1 have encountered with Ontario's soil test is the result of poor sampling tech- nique or poor interpretation d the results, Now there are a number of soil testing services available. in fact there are many soil test services available based on research done in the United States, Far the most part they are overpriced thy Ont- ario's standards). They can run up to Sh.50 acre. Their recommendations are based on American conditions. Our soil test is based on Ontario's Knowing conditions and Ont• ario's research. If you are not able to soil test yourself then call us and we will locate for ytiu some• one who will soil test your farm • (approximately 35.c acre). If you are not willing to NY for this service. then hire your own kids to do it. Even if you pay them 3Sc an acre it Is a very worthwhile invest- ment. Before they go soil testing, set down some guidelines. No sample should represent more than 3t acres. Also, make them take at least one sample acre.

Seaforth Farmers' Co -Op 521-0770 protein obtained from a well fertilized forage crop. The use of fluid fertilizer to achieve an optimum forage fertilizer program has several advantages. A prescription formulation can be made to meet exactly the nutrient requirements the forage crop requires. Perhaps the most important advantage when the fluid fertilizer is sprayed on with a floater type applicator is the uniform application obtained. Because every drop of the liquid is the same as it is being sprayed on, every square foot of the field receives the same fertilizer. With spreading of dry fertilizer there is separation due to particle size and density, resulting in 'uneven spread patterns. This uneven distribution of nutrients can result in a substantial yield reduction with parts of the field not receiving the proper nutrients. Micro nutrients. such as Boron on alfalfa. because of the small quantities being used. arc often difficult to get events distributed. Fluid fertilizer can also solve this problem with every drop of fertilizer containing exactly the same amount of nutrients. In conclusion, a good forage fertilizer program ruing custom applied fluid fertilizers can help today's forage producers realize maximum potential from their forage crops, resulting in higher net profits.

YAMAHA Micronutrients BY RHEA HAMILTON Micronutrients in soil are new in fertilizers. Until the last 15 years fertilizers were mixtures of three basic ele- ments: nitrogen, phospho- rous and posassium (potash). Testing and experimenting by industry has resulted in the development of fertilizers that contain the trace ele- ments essential for plants in to use in their growth cycle. Some of the testing for these additions to fertilizers has been done in the Lind• esboro area, Eric Anderson was one of the farmers to open his land to the testing done by the firm Nutrite five years ago. His neighbour Don Buchanan who is the agent for the firm, was on hand to watch the application and see the results. The first fields involved white Kean and for three consecutive years both soil and leaves of the crops ss ere tested. The tests proved yield was up and maintained. This evidence was accepted by the Ontario Ministry of Agricul, lure and Food (OMAF) and is listed in the 19111 field crop recommendations booklet put out by OMAF The land was carefully plotted out with stakes. Re- presentatives from the firm applied the fertilizer to the test plot allowing the rows to be 30 inches apart. The rows included some without fertilizer, some with micronutrients and some with regular application of Local girls at UofG meeting THE FORAGE SUPPLEMENT, JULY 15, 1111 — 115 Eric Anderson finds they increase yield More than 200 4•H Homemaking Club members from all over Ontario spent from June 23rd to June 26th at the University of Guelph attending Provincial Confer- ence.

When Mr. Anderson planted the beans along with his own and the crop was treated the same as the rest At harvest representatives again came to the Anderson farm and from the marked pit farm and from the marked plot hand harvested the crop taking plant and all for testing of plant quality and to accurately measure the yield. According to Mr. Ander• son the firm has taken both leaf and soil samples since the first testing five years ago. Leaf testing is taken in Mid -July and soil testing on the corn crop is left till the end of October. Mr. Anderson is notified of the testing and copies of the results are also sent to him from the company labs. TRACE: ELEMENTS The idea of adding trace elements to the soil began 10 or 12 years ago. according to Mr.Buchanan . in Tobermory by Jack Reed. Mr. Reed worked with an American firm. The micronutrients or trace elements are needed in small amounts and in some cases too much can burn out crops. Leading the list is iron which is essential for devel- opment of chlorophyll. It activates the enzymes which enter into the plant develop- ment process. Zinc is one of the elements that will cause burning if too much is applied. It is needed in early growth stages for the formation of chlorophyll. It also promotes cellular growth and water absorption capacity. Armed with this. crops have a better chance of surviving drought condit- ions. Managanese is also invol- ved with the iron and zinc in the chlorophyll process as well as respiration in the plan. For alfalfa, boron is impor- tant. It is needed for trans- location of sugars and for plant development during flowering and fruiting stag- es. It is considered by biolog- ists as essential to the quality of alfalfa, tree. fruits and root crops. Both copper and molyb- denum are important to plant growth too but not in as great a quantity as the first four elements. Copper activates enzymes which aid in the formation of proteins and vitamins. It is often deficient in muck or light sandy soils. Molybde- num is used for nitrogen metabolism in all plants and for nitrogen fixation by le- gumes. It also helps the plants' ability to breakdown iron. It too is often deficient in muck soils, Mr. Buchanan noted that over two-thirds of his c•usto mcrs are now using the fertilizer with the addition of the micronutrients. "There is a 90 to 95 percent differ- ence that you can see in the crop" said Mr. Buchanan. Differences in crops also include beans and corn being two to three points drier in some cases with an increased yield. Mr. Buchanan explained in one instance a farmer had Corn stalks can figure in dairy rations According to the Univer- sity of Illinois, when forage supplies are low or you wish to dilute hay silage rations, you can safely feed corn stalks to dairy animals. These corn stalks may be fed to dry cows, low producers and heifers more than a year old. The feed value of the matter varies, depending up. on the relative proportion of leaves, husks and stalks.

However, they must contain enough moisture to ensure fermentation. a poor crop in a front field and tests proved the land was rich but that the crops were unable to get the food from the soil. Mr. Buchanan said that after an application of the fertilizer with the addition of the micro nutrients the crop was remarkable "The trace minerals help the plant get the food from the soil.'' said Mr. Buchanan RIPENING FASTER Mr. Anderson has noted the difference in his crops. As well as s ields being up he finds his crops are ripening earlier. The additions to the ferti liter are more costly but according to Mr. Buchanan the costs average out to approximately 50 cents more per acre. OMAF has rerun►noended that since fertilizers contain ing the micronutrients arc more toxic than those with out ntaAirnutn sate rates should be reduced. Buren is particularly toxic. Mr. Anderson has not decreased the amount (d application to his land with the new enriched fertilizer. His white beans, corn and barley are all involved in the program using the micro- nutrients.

Neighbours co-operate to grow alfalfa for better soil BY JOANNE RIMMER Often, discussing a prob• lem with a neighbour can bring to light a possible solution. Two neighbours, Frank Kints and Brian Mil- ler found an arrangement which is helpful to both of them, just by discussing their situations together. At a "Save our Soil" conference in December. Mr. Kints. R.R I , Woodham, and Mr. Miller. R.R. a. Exeter. presented reports on crop exchanges for mutual benefit. The neighbours ex- plained their co•operatiyc s� stem of growing alfalfa. Mr Kints farms turnips ., ith hi, brother and another partner The turnips hose been gros n one %car tot three or four since l%6, and in the other years they have tried seeding down grain to Red Clover and ploughing the Red Clover down the follow• ing year. "After summer fallowing this land, we felt the program was no better than just growing grain or beans." said Mr. Kints. He then looked for a better way to improve his soil. "We still felt turnips were hard on the land and we had to get a perennial forage onto some of it. We had been renting some land to the Millers so discussed with them the possibility of growing alfal- fa... Mr. Miller agreed "When we sat down with Frank Kints we faun d a was to solve our problem and help them." Mr. Miller shares a cashcrop and cattle farm with his father and brother. They finish about 700 feeder cattle a year, taking them from 450 to 500 pounds and finishing them at 1000 pounds. GROWING ALFALFA Previously, they were feeding corn silage with a 48 percent protein beef conce.n• trate. "Our objective was to replace this protein con- centrate by growing our alfalfa." own Once they had agreed to grow the alfalfa. the first SO acres were seeded by Mr Kints with a nurser crop. The nurser crop of grain was used the first year. For each SO acres on which the alfalfa will be grown, the six-year cycle will start with one year of turnips, then the grain crop. two years of alfalfa, one year of white beans, and one year of wheat. The next year, the cycle will be repeated, start- ing with turnips. Mr. Kints seeds the `and and fertilizes it, so the Mil- lers only have to cut the alfalfa. The Millers hope to get three cuts of alfalfa off the field each season. The system they have is useful, but not unique to these neighbours. Three Dublin arca farmers have utilized the same co-opera- tive idea. Ken Flanagan. R.R. I. Dublin. a dairy farmer. has a similar arrangement with Al- lan and Ralph Siemon, R.R. 5, Mitchell. He, like Mr. Miller, was looking for a cheaper source of protein for his feed than the supplement he was using. When talking with the Siemons, the two parties discovered they would both benefit by grow- ing the alfalfa. The Siemons use it to keep their land loose, as Mr. Flanagan said "it opens the land". The Siemons seeded bar- ley the first year, and under - seeded it with alfalfa. When the barley was harvested in August. the alfalfa was six inches high. The next sum- mer, (this summer) the alfal- fa was harvested at a height of about one foot in June. Mr. Flanagan hopes to get three cuts this summer. These farmers follow a crop rotation p lan. The alfalfa the Siemons plant for Mr. Flanagan is not pure, as there is timothy mixed in. The timothy is used to fill any spots where the alfalfa does not grow. When it is time for the alfalfa to be cut. Mr. Flana- gan, like Mr. Miller, does the cutting. Both arrangements. made of word-of-mouth. are kept by word-of-mouth. "There's no papers or anything," said Mr. Flanagan. Mr. Kints and Mr. Miller arrived at "fair price" just by discussion, not by any mathematical method, said Mr. Kints. He expected his greatest returns to come in the form of better land for turnips. "We know we will grow more turnips with few• er problems on this land that has grown alfalfa." he said. Census family farm profile An updated profile of Canadian family farms is expected to rmrrgr from the 1081 Census of \gr1- culture. The census s ll help measure, among other Wigs, the Impact of the• stale and the intrnsits of lar ning on agrn ulturi• and the -arm tarnils in the diff.', ter! rrgtuns of the rountrs. From past censuses we know that the famils farm appears to he surviving the trend towards larger, specialized farm and in• corporation. The census of 1976 reported that rnorr than 95 per cent of all farrn operations were run by individuals, families or partnerships, Another 3.5 per cent were listed as corporate family farms and fewer than one per cent were operated by non - family corporations Size and intensity of operation, however, have undergone major changes over the past four decades. Between the 1941 and 1976 censuses, the total number of farms in Canada decreas• ed from a peak figure of 732,832 to 338,578 and average farm size more than doubled from 237 acres to 499. Corporate family farms and other legally constitut• ed company farms are on the increase, according to the 1971 and 1976 census- es. These holdings doubled in number between those years.

Even after allowing for in- flation, this represents a considerable increase in capitalization. A closely related trend is the migrat• ion of Canadians away from their agricultural roots. in 1931, nearly one-third of all Canadians lived on farms, compared with only five per cent in 1976. Even the personal qual. ities needed for successful farming have changed with increases in mechanization and systemized production. A strong back is of less importance today than skills in management of a large-scale operation, cropping rotations or breeding programs, and bookkeeping and marketing knowhow. In addition, many farmers supplement their incomes with jobs away from their farms. These jobs may range from logging to teaching, re- quiring a whole extra set of skills. Census data show that farm income is strongly in- fluenced by region. Fewer eastern farmers than prairie farmers report farm- ing to be their major source of income. In 1971, only 31.4 per cern of farm- ers in the Atlantic Provinc- es and 32 per cent of farm• ers in central Canada earned more than one-half of their income from farm- ing, compared with 49 per cent of prairie farmers. On average, families that depended totally on their farms earned less than families with off -farm incomes. Family labour remained the backbone of modern agriculture by 1976. Family farms used an average of only 7,6 weeks of paid labour each year and only 30.5 per cern of these farms reported any hired labour. Corporate family farms used an average of 72 weeks paid labour per year, with 54 per cent of these farms reporting hired labour, and corporate non• family farms used an aver- age of 128 weeks of hired labour, with 53 per cent of these farms reporting hired help. And, although the cor- porate family farm has in- creased in number in the past few decades, the indi- vidual or family farm was still more than holding its own in relation to other types, by 1976. Census data document the situation of the family farm, a situation, that is a response to the particular problems and challenges each generation of farm families has had to face, through economic depress- ions and booms, drought, war, mechanization, chang- ing social values and rising expectations. Trends have developed, some of them irreversible, others possib- ly temporary. New data from the 1981 census might well show, for example, that the migration of young people to the cities has lessened in Tight of rising farm incomes and federal - provincial initiatives to help young potential farmers stay on the land, With other trends, such as mechanizat• ion and increasing energy consumption, it is a matter of finding out how much more and how quickly. The 1981 census is ex- pected to answer more questions than it asks. Undoubtedly, it will give us an updated picture of what has happened to the Canad• ion farm family in the eighth decade of this cen- tury and, by extension, a little of what is likely to happen in the ninth.
