Plan tests in Huron County

Experimental work on bird's.
foot trefoil, systemic insecti-
cides in beans, and fertility on
a number of crops, with par-
ticular emphasis on nitrogen,
is 'being undertaken in Huron
county this year, according to
Ag Rep Douglas Miles.
Most of the test work is be-
ing done by the Huron Soil and
Crop Improvement Ass'n, in
co-operation with the depart-
ment.
Demonstration plots of birds -
foot trefoil are being grown on
the farm of Douglas McNeil,
RR 6 Goderich. Two varieties
are being tested—Empire, he,
more common variety, AO
Viking; which 'has a more up-
right stand.
"We want to see if it won't
do a job with a companion
crop and we are also evaluat-
ing it in a mixture", Mr. Miles
said.
Damage light
in shop blaze
Damage was not extensive
from the tire which broke out
Monday night in the wood-
working shop of Wilson Mor-
ley, Andrew St.
Parts of the small building,
behind the breezeway of the
Morley home, were ablaze
when firemen arrived but they
quickly doused the flames.
Cause of the blaze is un-
known, Chief Irwin Ford said
it may have, been started by a
spark from the stove.
Mr. and Mrs. 'Morley were

Liquid nitrogen is also being
tried on corn.
1 To determine just how far
f farmers can go with nitrogen,
, some crops • this year wilt get
up to 125 pounds per acre of
' actual nitrogen. This is the
lecuivalent of 300 pounds of
45% urea. Results will. be com-
pared to those in which fertility
is established through test.
Plan bean work
White bean tests will con-
tinue, this year on the farms
of Alex McMurtrie and Ken
Elder, Kippen. Thimet, a new
systematic insecticide from
the U.S. which is supposed to
control insects during the en-
tire growing season, will be
tried. In addition, a variety of
fertilizer tests will be made.
More fertility work on tut. -
nips will be done on the farm
of Harold Dignan, RR 1 Hen-

TIPS
ON A FAST,
SAFE START
FOR CALVES
Heifers on the Purina Farm calve 4 to
8 months ahead of average. That means
they give around 3,000 lbs. of milk
before most heifers have even started
producing. Why don't you try it!
1. As soon as the calf is dropped, cut of
the navel cord about 2 inches from the
calf's body and soak the stub in iodine
to prevent infection:
2. For the first three days leave the calf
with the mother so it can get the first
colostrum milk which helps regulate
the digestive system. Milk to even
pressure in all 4 quarters, but do not
empty udder Completely, Guard calf
against draughts and dampness,
3. For the next ten days, keep dalt in an
individual pen. Pen should have clean
bedding and be disinfected with Purina
Disinfectant before calf is moved in.
4. Onthefourth day start feeding Purina
Nursing Chow in gruel form 1 lb, re-
places 1 gal. milk. Continue for four
Weeks. Calf should have clean water
and rock Salt available free choice.
Self-fced Purina Calf Startena from
4 days to 4 months, adding bright leafy
hay at 2 months.
6, Aft et 4 months change to a Purina
heifer gtoting program.
