Lawn bowling „rnen.win Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club Men's Seniori was won by the. rink of Jack Patterson (skip) Bill Brown vice 1 v Sandy Pepper (lead). They won all three of their games and will now advance to compete against . other district seniors. This Saturday will see the colts in action at Stratford starting at 9 _ . The man held a successful tournament last Wednesday with fourteen greens in play. iN mixed pairs at Mitchell on Sunday Mel and Esther Brady . were second with 3w & 41 o/p 5, and a ladies rink froth Seforth won at Exeter lait week also. Good bowling to all. , clay loam soil should contain about 4 per cent organic matter or 40 tons per acre. A' good straw crop would yield 1 ton per acre. This I 'ton addition to the existing 40 tons will produce minimal soil improvement. If the soil has become run down, it may contain as little as 1 per cent organic matter (10 tons per acre). If 1 ton of straw is added to this mill, 'it will increase the organic maffe by 1'0 per cent which will improve,* the soil condition. Low organic matter soils will not, be capable 'of producing a lot of straw. In fact, the quantity produced will be too little to harvest easily, These fields should have the straw ploughed back, as well as adding organic matter in other forms such as manure. Thus, fields that produce large quantities of straw are 'already high in organic matter. Fields that produce little straw need• that little bit ploughed down. THREE YEAR STABILIZATION PROGRAM The province of Ontario has introduced a three year stab ili- zation program for growers of corn, soybeans and white beans. Emlement forms - 'have been mailed to corn growers who enrolled in n- .the 1977 Corplan. Bean growers and_ other '-corn— growers can obtain brochures and enrolment forms at county Agricultural offices. August 1st, 1978 is the final date for enrolment. ' Growers are being asked to join ' • for a three year:period and pay a 1978 ,enrolement fee as well as a desposit for 1980. The three year enrolement has been introduced to overcome the problem of enrollees discontinuing the .plan in years of good prices. How is the 1978 stabilized price calculated for corn? The Federal government supports corn at 90 per cent 'of the average price for the past five years and • an adjustment is , also made for increased production costs. In 1978, the Federal government's stabilized price might amount to $2.34 per bus.. The. Ontario program increases the Federal figure by another 5 per cent or 12 ' cents. The payout for any year is determined by subtracting tile actual weighed price from -alb stabilized price. This calculation cannot be made until after the stabilization year ends on August lst. If the actual weighed price e $2.34 per bus. then, in our ample, there would be no ederal payment but there would be a Provincial payment of 12' cents par bus. Thus, some years there would be a payment and , other years there would be none. The Pro- vincial government puts $2, in the fund for every $1. collected from farmer enrolement fees. In the long' term, farmers as a group, might expect to collect in pay- ments their original contribution as well as, the money. contributed by the government. The Federal plan is separate from the Provincial one.

Pigs that are Sprayed with water for two minutes every half hour when the barn tempefature exceeds 24 C or 75 F have shown in.:proved feed utilization, better average daily, gain, better housekeeping habits and a reduction in the 'labour necessary to scrape pens. The research- also indicates that' the spray cooling did not contribute to any disease or health problems, Standard brass . or .stainless steel .field sprayer nozzles have proved quite satisfactory for spray cooling. Hardened steel nozzles should be avoided' because of potential corrosion problems. The recommended water application rate „ is approximately .1 imperial 'gallon ,,per pig per hour in a coarse spray rather than .a fine mist. Spray kits are •available from farm supply outlets or a factsheet is available from the_ Ag office which contains further details on spray cooling.

VALUE OF STRAW The past week we have received a number of calls regarding the plough down value of straw. The alternatives are to sell the straw or add it back to the soil; There is no doubt that straw, pietas hed dow n , adds'beneficia l organic matter to the soil. The - „question is-.= now hi VW V alTiCi§ this added organic matter. • The value of straw is greatest on low organic matter soils. Fields that produce a good straw crop probably have a high organic matter level. For instance, a good Alm John E.
