The first person 1 spotted was my youngest grandson who gallantly shouldered my heavy case and escorted me to my waiting family, They • whisked me off to a restaurant to assuage my hunger and thirst after the long trip from Brussels. After that, certain t hat if not shod with shoes more suitable for wear on the boat than those brought, 1 would surely fall and break some bones, they trotted me from place to place to find a pair to fit my difficult feet. Success at last! Then it was off to the boat. On that journey, perhaps because of tiredness. too much good foot and heat. 1 promptly became disgustingly and embarrassingly sick in the car. Fortunately it cleared up quickly and a pleasant time was spent getting acquainted with life aboard a boat. **ma* The 3I -foot boat has comfortable living quarters which can be converted to sleeping arrangements for four ,with additional space in the bow that can accommodate four more. In a pinch, as was the case when I was there, two more can tuck themselves into sleeping bags and spend the night on the enclosed deck. The boat was docked at Ivy Lea Marina. From there we cruised the Thousand Island area from Wednesday until Sunday. Then it was on to Ottawa Sunday afternoon for it was back to work on Monday for the family. At first there were just four of us. On the next morning my eldest grandson and his fiancee arrived. Then there were six. Next evening my younger granddaughter, a friend and her brother joined us. Then there were nine. Still another young couple spent Saturday with us. Then we were 11. A happy crowd on holiday. by Evelyn Kennedy The first morning aboard, after the arrival of my grandson and fiancee, we cast . off cruising the river under sunny skips. Late in the afternoon we received a storm warning predicting thunder showers, strong winds and rough waves. We headed for the dock at Ivy Lea in heavy rain, chased all the way by the oncoming storm. The high wind and battering waves caught us just as we were about to dock. There. waiting in the pouring rain. were several helping hands to give assistance in getting the boat into the slip without damage. The Thousand Island area of the St. Lawrence is dotted with scenic islands, some very large. others almost tiny. A good many are privately owned with attractive cottages and nicely kept surroundings. There was no monotony in cruising this river for five days. 1t was not a matter of taking a straight route from point A to point B and returning the same way. There were dozens of intriguing routes to where we were going and back to where we came from. There were public park islands at which boats could be docked where swimming, diving, sunning on the inflated raft. a stroll around the island, picnic facilities, or just lazing around watching the river crafts go by could be enjoyed. One thing that impressed me was the friendliness and helpfulness of the folks of the boating fraternity. When any boat was corning in to dock there were always hands outstretched to ease it safelyinto a slip and help tie up. In meeting when walking on the dock almost everyone had a "hello" for you and often stopped to chat for a moment. Invariably those on passing craft on the river woluld wave a friendly salute. People on boats docked beside, or near you became instant acquaintances. Walton boys at camp Correspondent MRS.

I talked with Greg Boland of the Department of Envir- onmental Biology at the Uni- versity of Guelph to get the latest thinking on white mold. The rest of this discussion will deal with fields that have a past history of mold. WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR MOLD Rainy periods prior to flow- ering are necessary to pro- duce innoculum of the patho- gen. Continued wetness al- lows the disease to develop. You should spray if the soil has been continuously wet for 5 to 10 days before flowering. You are probably saying `fnow, 'how wet is wet?' My interpretation of the re- searchers thoughts is 'if the soil is too wet for you to be out in the fields, that is definitely wet enough to bring on white mold.' Intermittent rains that bring 2 to 3 cm. on a weekly basis are not as damaging as when ft rains for 2 to 4 days and the crop is continually wet. If it is hot and dry at 100% bloom, I would not spray. However, if it has been wet for 5 days before flowering and wetter than normal con- ditions are predicted for the next 1WHE0 daN TO SPRAY1 would pray. This question has been well researched. You have to spray early. You have to spray around 100% bloom. That is when 100% of the plants in a field have at least one open flower. This gener- ally occurs about 5 to 7 days after S0%s bloom. If you have a field that is 1 week to 10 days past 100% bloom and mold is showing, the fungicide will not control the disease. The fungicides registered for control of white mold are listed on Page 33 of Publica- tion 296 - 1983 Field Crop Recommendations. GROUND OR AERIAL APPLICATION There is no research com- paring these two methods. Both pieces of equipment can do an effective job. Timing of the spray is as important as the piece of equipment that is used. With either piece of equip- ment, thorough coverage of the plant is necessary. If you are using ground equipment you need high water volumes and high pressures. With aerial equipment, the boom should be 1 to 11/2 meters above the crop can- opy. 1 have tried to summarize the mdst current thinking on white mold to give you some guidelines. Unfortunately the whole area of white mold control is still part of the art of WANT ADS farming - it will be a tew years before it becomes a science like weed control.
