He noted there was some risk of blight in beans due to the high humidity, but explained that the same'type of weather was ideal for the corn crop. "Corn is nabbing quite nice- ly," he said. Miles told The T-A the oat, barley and wheat crops would not be quite as heavy as what was previously anticipated, but added that it would still be a "good average". However, it will not ma' ch last year's bumper crops he concluded. usiness Directory Army worms! Mexican bean beetles! And now flea beetles! That's the plight facing dis- trict farmers, but fortunately no serious outbreaks have been reported of any of the crop de- stroying insects that have mov- ed across Western Ontario. The army worm scare has ap- parently died down considerably in this area for this year, al- though serious outbreaks have been reported in Bruce County and other northern areas where crops are later than in this section. Doug Miles, Huron agricul- tural representative, reported this week that only one. Huron farmer found the worms so plentiful that an airplane had to be called in to spray his corn fields to check their ravaging. INMEIMMV.MMINNIMMONANiiiMWSIOINNISKOMMIIM:SEINE91.0M Mr. Johnson said it was un- usual for the insect to be so troublesome this late in the growing season. He attributed the prolonged activity to high temperatures. The tiny, bls.ck insects usual- ly attack turnips in early stages of development, he said, but are now eating holes in mature turn- ips. "Prospects for increased shipments of turnips look good at the moment," he said, "but the present attack of the flea beetle poses a rather serious threat." Johnson also reported rain- fall so far has been sufficient to bring along most crops satis- factorily, but the soil moisture • reserve is low and more rain will be needed soon for the best development of all fruits and vegetables. CROPS GOOD In his weekly crop report, Miles said Huron crops are still The rarest of all Canadian coins are the $10 and $20 gold pieces struck at New Westmin- ster, B.C., in 1862; the rarest modern coin is the 1921 fifty cent piece. Bruce Spieran, of the Ethel area, felt the worms were caus- ing so much damage to his crops that he took the expensive con- trol measures last week. "He reported he had them controlled in 30 m i nut e s," Miles stated. The Clinton office has not received any calls since Sun- day night to report Mexican bean beetles, although Miles stated there "were quite a few" fields attacked in the Hay and Stephen Township areas as well as in the Bayfield-Clingon dis- trict. Miles suggested some area farmers were not keeping a close watch on their fields as he recommended, and he has been called to many farms when the beetles have already caused the damage. "I can't do anything then but to say they've been there and gone," the agricultural repre- sentative explained. He urged farmers to keep a close watch on their fields for signs of the beetles which do their damage in the larvae form from their vantage point from the underside of the leaves. It was reported by Miles that Earl Neil and Hubert Cooper, both of the Exeter area, have contacted him and "know the answers" in regard to control- ling the beetles. NONE REPORTED While Miles has not received any reports, it has been stated that flea beetles are causing "rather serious" destruction of turnips, a major cash crop in Middlesex and Huron counties. This report was made by J. J. Johnson, supervising in- spector of the fruit and vege- table division of the Canada de- partment of agriculture in this area. He said expensive control measures will have to be taken to prevent widespread crop loss, during an annual tour of Middlesex and Elgin fruit and vegetable farms.

JACK HEYWOOD LICENSED AUCTIONEER All types of sales "For Top Prices" EXETER LONDON Phone 235-0720 451-8630 (The following press release was received by telephone from J. J. Johnson, of the Canada department of agriculture, shortly before press time, Wed- nesday, and is being printed in an effort to aid area farmers, concerned over the turnip flea beetle mention in the adjoining story.) Professor H. W. Goble, pro- vincial entomologist, examined damaged turnip crops in the Exeter area, Tuesday, accom- panied by Professor C. B, Kelly, of the botany department at OAC, Guelph. Professor Goble, said that the injury has been caused by the larvae of the turnip (striped) flea beetle and possibly a sec- ond species of flea beetle. The small grubs (not mag- gots) that cause this damage do not burrow so deeply or make long tunnels like root Maggots. While the root, after peel- ing, is perfectly good for food, the appearance of the product Makes it unsuitable for mar,,. ket: He continued that one cannot say what has brought on this condition in 1964, or whether It will be present in late turnips this year or in 1965. It would appear that Aldrin has not controlled this pest be- cause both soil treatment and Sprays of Aldrin had been ap-i plied on one of the seriously damaged crept.- Protester Goble said that greater concern was felt about this condition in case it was the Aldrin-resistant root mag- got that destroyed the fields in three areas of Ontario in 1963. This injury is not that of the root maggot. Professor Goble said no recommendations can be made conderning the flea beetle grubs that are now on the roots. Extra sprays and drenches of Aldrin are likely to do nothing except increase the cost and leave the crop more likely to be over the residue of Aldrin permitted at selling time. Aldr in apparently has not controlled these flee beetles. On late turnips that are just past the thinning stage, an in- secticide to kill the adult flea beetles might be an insurance measure. DDT should be effective, or cheinicals sun as Thiedan or Guthion used according to Manufacturers' direction's. These will not be effective once the 1 a r v a e are below ground on the roots. It is hoped that there is little or no damage on the main crop. Mr. J. J. JohnSon, said that in the fields involved in the Eketer area, where turnips had readied the shipping size, the damage by the insects was complete HOWevery he noted thit was Still a small perdentage of the total turnip trot in the area.
