Dr.'t ed Rothmel, Assoc. Rep. Nano Ross, Home Economist Soil and Crop Twilight Meeting TR' Perth County Soil and Crop Inter sventent As'sociatioh Twit:gilt Meeting Will be held at the fat in of Vic Roland, Lot 19,. Come, 7, Downie Township on Thuts.z.ty, July 13 at .7:30 p.m. There'will be a series of rotating tours 01 the various plots at the ROla ,'‘'. Farm. These include plots of various alfalfa varieties. Each variet% is in a one acre strip which will ,low farmers to compare varlet ;es they may be. considering. There are a number of con , herbicide trials:-Of-special intern here are- two' herbicide com;smations which leave no residue. There are 'also grain herb .'„de trials which contain two new 11, rhieicles. These will be the first ni..tv grain herbicides in a numbly of years,. In addition, milk" eed control and corn root - W0r4li detection will be diScussed. Further discussion groUps on Dairy ,,tid Engineering have been organi/ed for those hi'dividuals who 4vnipletc the crop tour early. These will elaborate further on all aspects' of growing and using grain, writ and alfalfa. Individual questions will be encouraged. At Toni Lane of the Univk r,ity of Guelph, will be speaking on "Replacing Comuiereial Fertilizer with Manta e and/or Miracle Soil Condit loners". The ladies' program also begins at 7:30 with a Scarf Demur ,tration by .Mrs. Robert Schmidt and Mrs. Forrest, and a talk on Freezing Foods by Nancy Ross, Home Economist. The ladies are reminded to bring their own lawn chairs. Raking Can Result in Excessive Field Losses Alfalfa that is harvested at the bud stage will generally contain 20-22''',, crude protein on a dry matter basis. At this stage of growth, about 70% of the protein in the crop is found in the leaves. In order to insure that the maximum amount of -. protein- read-ie.-. the barn, steps to, reduce the icaf loss should be emph as ,/ed. Alf.11:,1 that is put through a conditioner and windrower at harvest will have a leaf loss of only. 2 to 3% of dry matter compared with losses of over 20% if the ,..irne forage is raked just before haling. This is the result of the leaves becoming more brittle and shattering easier as they dry down. If the crop must be raked again, after a rain, it should be done slowly. The faster the operator drives, the greater the chance of ishattering the leaves. When turning a windrow over, to allow the bottom to dry faster, it Should be turned a one-half turn only. Some rakes will causC the windrow to be turned over one and one-half times, which will also contribute to losses. Forage Testing Measures Quality Protein content in hay crop silage can vary from 5 to 20% and digestibility from 35% to 45%. A testing program for crude protein etc. can mean as much. as $2,000 or higher in savings for feed for a 50 cow herd. Because protein is the most.' expenSive ration ingredient, testing is especially important. _Also a more precise estimate of TDN is made to supply information needed for adding grain for a given level of production. . Protein Digestibility. Low moisture hay silage often overheats in storage and is hard to pack. Hence oxygen is not sufficiently excluded. Spontan- eous combustion may even occur under conditions of extreme heat. Heat damage locks up protein. In a recent survey in the University of Guelph, protein digestibility Was measured from 0 to 80% (70% + indicates good digesti- bility). Many of the samples had some heat damage. Eood Preservation - Putting Food Down The busy hotne preservation season is just a few weeks away. Don't let it catch you ill equipped. Far too many people decide, at the last minute, to preserve and because they don't have adequate or proper supplies, they made do with what's available. This can result in a waste of good food, time. energy and moncY, It is important to know the correct preservation procedures, whether you plan to freeze, can, pickle or make jams or jellies. Frozen Foods and Home Canning Ontario Fruits and Vegetables are bulletins which are available at the Ontario Ministry of Ariculture and Food in Stratford. Be confident in knowing 'your food is not only delicious, but safe to eat. Just think of the benefits when you preserve summer's hat est to brighten winter days. Cattlemen's Field Day A Beef Cattlemen's Field Day Will be held on Wednesday, July 12 at Elora and Arkell Research Stations. At 10 a,m. the research trials . Older way Swill be discussed.

The total expenditures submitted to the Province of Ontario for approval amount to $1,2".700 and includes $9,600 of inter vi•hich may not be approt ed. County Clerk-Treasurer Bill Hanl \• • assured the county make to the bylaw to ensure it still meets all the minimum require- ments laid out by the building Cede. A request asking that county planner George Penfold be granted a leave of absence to upgrade his education, met with some opposition. at Friday's county council meeting. Several councillors expressed concern over how Mr. Penfold's work on several' county plans would be completed in his absence. Hullett Township Reeve John Jewitt said, "In my opinion it is not a good time for him to go." Stephen Township Reeve, Cecil Desjardine agreed. "It is not a good time for him to leave to complete his education. That would be like me leaving home in the haying season." .. However, Mr. Penfold was granted an education leave with a salary, continuance of $6,500 including comprehensive benefits based on that salary. His tuition and related fee totalling $863 will also be paid by the county. Mr. Penfold has 'agreed to return to the county for a minimum of two years and to pay back to the County of Huron the total expended on a prorated basis if employment terminates within the two-year period. Planning director Gary In a Board 'of Health report presented at the Huron County Council meeting on June 30, it was learned that the Medical Officer of Health had received requests from two industries in the County, Domtar and Dashwood Industries, to .provide hearing tests for their employees on an annual 'basis. These in- dustries are now required to have this done due to regulatory changes from the Ministry of Labour. At present time the Audio Technician is working ten months of the year and is granted-a leave of absence for July and August. The proposed Industrial Hearing Testing could be carried out during the summer months if the Audio Technician were retained on an annual basis. A five dollar, fee is proposed which would make pte programing. financially self-sup- County Council' accepted the Board of Health's recom- mendation that the program be initiated and that Mrs. Shirley Steepe be retained on an annual basis rather than on a ten-month period. Huron Country"- warden Gerry Ginn saidit was a good chance for the Board of Health to expand its services for workin$ class people. leAp el sro to iitn wtahse s tBaot ea rdd t hoaf t Healthoffic ia l notification had been received .hearing dated June 2 that Dr. titian J. Lynch has successfully completed the course leading to a Diploma in Public Health and that the Board had appointed Dr. Lynch as Medical Officer of Health for Huron Cotinty effective June 2 in accordance with the Public Health Act at an annual salary of $36,000 per agreement dated August 26, 1977. The Home 'Care Audit -Report and Summary of Expenditure for the year ending March 31, 1978 was received from Durst, Vodden and Bender 'and showed total 'expenditures of $228,264 as Om-. pared to the original estimate for the period of $245,016. - councillors that council was not under any obligation to contribute • to the $236,000 deficit the hospital has accumulated over the past 15 months. The county's only obligation is to the building fund, he said. 4 Several conneillors expressed the feeling that the $282,395 , already contributed by the county was enough and several also said— - they worried about setting a • precedent. However clerk Hanly and other councillors explained that the county had pledged 25 per cent of the total cost and,,,,, council is only living up to that agreement. friepith.Unit tests ultOing Huron County councillors were told at last Friday's council meeting that they could tailor a proposed bylaw to, enforce the Ontario Building Code to suit their own areas. The bylaw sets minimum building standards across the provinee. Turnberryind other townships haye been objecting to the bylaw saying, that it would beextremely difficult and expenSive to enforce with many portions of it being unnecessary or inappropriate for their areas. They also felt that the bylaw was overly restrictive for use in , an agriculturally oriented Municipality. Gary Davidson, Huron County planning - director, explained however that the municipalities could modify the bylaw to make it less restrictive. For example, he said, the bylaw allows municipalities to inspect home improvements but they need not carry out the inspection .unless they. feel it is ,necessary. But ,he cautioned county- councillors to have their lawyers check any changes they WOW, WHAT A If/MAU—Donna McGrath and Cindy Looby of Dublin and Sheila Riley of Staffa had nothing to show but empty plates as they finished off their meal under the trees at the barbecue held during Dublin's Centennial festivities.
