In the tests, agronomists com- pared yields of, corn' and wheat when fertilizers were sprayed on the plants and when applied directly to the soil. Most of their work tested effects of nitrogen solutions. Highest yields of corn came when nitrogen was applied di- rectly to the soil as a sidedress- ing. For wheat, the tests show that there are no advantages for the spray method, although in some cases yields were equal to wheat which was top-dressed, In one test, Earley and Hauck sprayed 40 pounds of elemental nitrogen per acre on the corn leaves, using three different nitrogen fertilizers. They check- ed results against plots where corn received a sidedressing of 40 pounds of nitrogen in a dry form. Nitrogen in the form of urea, ammonium sulfate, and ammonium nitrate was used in the test. Yields were higher on „ the plots where 40 pounds of nitro- gen per acre were sidedressed. In addition to lower yields, the leaves were burned where 40 pounds of nitrogen were spray- edon the corn in one applica- tion. The nitrogen solution in the form of urea caused the least damage, but even here yields were seven bushels less. The researchers got higher yields when they sprayed the solution in two applications of 20 pounds of nitrogen each than when they sprayed 40 pounds in For some 6,500 persons living. i actiens.

Liquid Fertilizer The Financial Post says the Supreme Court of Canada may rule that Ontario's farm market- ing boards are not legal. In an article by John B. Mac- Lean, Ottawa correspondent of the Post, the newspaper says that because the boards conduct inter- provincial trade; their formation tinder provincial regulations may be unconstitutional. The newspaper also says the Supreme Court ruling is expected around Christmas time. here's what the Post says: About Christmas, the Supreme Court of Canada will answer seven technical questions vital to Ontario's — and the nation's — farm marketing boards The court's decision may mean: Temporary end of the prov- ince's farm marketing boards. Doubt about the constitutional- More farmers WHO to Surge Milkers for safer, faster milking. (adv't) ity of similar boards in other provinces. Return at least for a while to selling of the farm produce by the farmer who produces it. The court's decision may also mean, of course: That the present boards are quite properly set up with legiti- mate, provincially-given powers. Extension of existing system to cover more farm produce, Millions of dollars worth of farm business is waiting to see what happens. ' The whole functioning of pro- vincial marketing isoards wasn't thought to be at stake when On- tario decided last year to clear up what seemed to be a minor detail. The minor detail: Is the charge a provincial farm marketing board makes On • a farmer for selling his produce a direct or indirect tax? Reason for the question is that only the Federal Government can levy an indirect tax. Ontario wanted to get this straight. So last year, • at a federal- provincial conference, Ontario huddled with Ottawa. Ottawa wanted the, issue tested through the courts. before consideration was given to any change in legislation. • Ontario protested routine court testing would take too long, sug- gested the Federal Government use its prerogative to put ques- tions direct to the Supreme Court. Ottawa agreed, asked Ontario to frame the questions. Duly *framed, the questions Went to the Supreme Court early this year. They boil down frOm technical language to: 1. Are certain sections of the Ontario Marketing ' Act ultra vires7 2,,Do regulations under the act — setting - up hog and , peaches marketing agencies = properly flow from the marketing act? "Status Quo-ers" Upholding the status quo are Ontario Government, Canadian Federation of Agriculture and, of course, the provincial marketing beards. Federal.

Background necessary .to the understanding of the whole ques- tiers ahows legal confusion dating back almost to the fOrthatien of the first provincial marketing board — in British Columbia, for than ,drug-on-the-market. apples. —, back in the twenties, is, Reason for the confusion that trade in farm products often re- sults in interprovincial, even foreign trade, And provineial governments haven't powerto. regulate in any way trade outside their own province, In the depression of the '30s, nrovineiai pressure, mainly from the West, extracted a National Products Marketing Act from the Federal Government, In offeet, this act said provinces could set up Marketing boards...

Too much fertilizer burns the leaves and reduces yieldS, and liquid fertilizers cost con- siderably more than ordinary fertilizers. If you're considering spraying liquid fertilizers, first figure the amount of nitrogen or other plant food you will be adding at recommended rates and the cost per pounds. A typical recommendation in the sales literature may call for two spray applications of two gallons each. Each gallon will weigh about 11 pounds or a total application of 44 pounds per acre. So these 44 pounds of solution containing 32 percent nitrogen would supply only about 14 pounds of nitrogen to the acre (44 pounds x 32 percent — 14 pounds of nitrogen. The usual nitrogen recommendations for corn range from 40 to 80 pounds to the acre so the 14 pounds of nitrogen would not go very far in supplying the nitrogen needs of the corn crop. The cost of nitrogen solution sold. for spraying has been over $2.50 • per gallon. So the 14 pounds of nitrogen in the four gallon application would cost over Ile or more than .70 cents a pound, Nitrogen for applica- tion to the soil costs from 10 to Beef Producers Plan Bus Tour Beef producers in Huron county are planning a bus tout of prom-'. inent breeders' farina in LAMP, ton rind Middlesex bountie tO- warda the end of month.

House- moving was begun here Nov- emba- 19, 1956, and by Decem- ber 5, ten of the 130 houses to be moved were in place on the new site. A public school is under construction and work on an elementary separate school and four new churches will be started this coming summer. The town site is approximately 200 acres in area and, when completed, will have some four miles of streets. A modern shop- ping centre to accommodate eleven stores is under construc- tion. • The thirdof the new com- munities is New Town Two, now named Longue Sault, which will rehabilitate the villages of Mille Rocehs and Ilifoulinette in Corn- wall township. The new 160- acre site will have approximate- ly four miles of streets.
