BY MLANFOIT' Rep., ,
I hid -a Chance to sce
agriculture in fhe Temiskam-
ing District nf'Northern Ont-
ario during July. I was
impressed with a number of
things. They Were growing
tremendous crops of spring
train. Because of their
cli-
matc, they can easily out;
yield us in the South. They're
working 100 acre fields,
some of whlch have 'been
recentlY cleared. It is im-
pressive to see 100 acres of
barley that you know will
easily yield 80 bus/acre:
This land can be bought
from the •GdVernMent for
about $80.00 an acre. It costs
about $300 an acre to clear
and $400 to tile. That makes
prime land worth $800 and
acre. Northern Ontario is
definitely the new Frontier
for Ontario agriculture. They
can't grow corn, but they
sure can grow grain and
forage. We were told there is
another 2I4 plus acres in
Northern Ontario capable of
being cleared. This area has
tho.
characteristics of a frontier
thotigh, Not a let of people,
limited 'industry and Jong
winter.
One of their main prob.
lerns, is twitch grass. In 014
,Temiskaming District there
are about 500 commercial
farmers. This is about 1/5 of
the number of farmers in
Perth county. The productiv•:
ity per farmer is also lower
than Perth County farmers.
However, these farmers have
spent in excess of $34,000
last year to buy Round -Up to
control twitch. Most of this is
applied during the summer.
They are convinced• that
Round -up does a better job
than Cytrol on twitch grass.
This program has been 50%
subsidized by a Northern
Ontario government grant.
The program will continue
for another 4 years. This
means these farmers will
probably spend about
$170,000 over 5 years for
Round -up for twitch control
TWITCH CONTROL BACK
HOME
In Southern, Ontario,
Round -up and Cytrol are.
both registered for use to
control twitch'. ^,flowever,
Atraxine.,is just as effective
and not as expensive. If you
have had spots of twitch in
harvested grain fields that
you intend for corn next year,
you can spray with Atrazine
Plus oil now. You may even
be able to eliminate this
twitch by a second applic-
ation with oil 3 or 4 weeks
from now - if the twitch
grows back. By applying the
Atrazine now, there will be
less residue when you take
the field out of corn. It will
have one extra year to
break down.
If you don't want to drag
the sprayer out, this treat-
ment can be applied by very
=ger-- custom --applicators-
Either by ground or by air. In
fact, the pilot can probably

air better than you can.
If you want to clear up the ,

grow corn next year, then

the result of demands for a
senior level show based on a
beef heifer calf project. All
other top level beef shows
are based on a steer calf
project which ends when the
steer goes to market. The
heifer calf has the advantage
that the 4-11 member can
keep her to form the nucleus
of a future herd.
Sixty-six competitors have
entered the dairy com-
petition. Eloth shows will be
held in the main show barn at
