CONTAINS
—SHUR-GAIN Creep Feed is extra palatable.
—SHUR-GAIN Creep Feed contains a high level
of antibiotics.
—Fed in a creep, young pigs will start eating
solid feed at an earlier age.
Whether you are growing pigs through to market
or selling weaners, drop in soon and discuss the
SHUR-GAIN Creep Feeding Program. You'll have
healthier and heavier pigs at weaning time if they

Mayors and reeves get
plowing match challenge
September 23, 1965 Page 9
Reeve Charles H ooper of
Markham Township has issued a
challenge to mayors and reeves
of Ontario to plow against him in
the special class at this year's
International Plowing Match at
the Masse y-Ferguson Farm,
Milliken, on Wednesday, Oct. 13.
This is one of many special
events planned by the Local Com-
mittee of York County, host to the
1965 IPM. The Wardens' plowing
match the same day, will see
county leaders vie for this signal
honor with at least n wardens
expected to participate.
For the first time in the 52
years of the IPM, an invitation
has been extended to press, radio
and TV personalities, to plow
in a spacial match arranged for
Friday, October 15.
Other special events planned to
add interest to the outdoor fea-
tures of the IPM are a Corn
Picking Contest with $400 prize
money offered, and Horse Shoe
Pitching Contest when the Alex
McKinney Challenge Trophy will
go to the successful team along
with $30. Second place team will
receive $25 and third, $20. Cash
prizes will be awarded to others
in the first eight.
For those who gain a sense of
excitement when attending a large
fair or carnival, this year's In-
ternational Plowing Match at
Masse y-Ferguson Farm near
Milliken, October 13 to 16, should
fill the bill to perfection.
Tented City, the IPM's show-
place of industrial and commer-
cial exhibits, generally occupying
about 50 acres, will be much
larger this year. F. A. Lashley,
secretary-manager , of the On-
tario Plowmen's Association and
executive with the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, reports
that applicants for exhibit space
far outstrips those of other years.
Proximity to Metro Toronto
paves the way for the biggest
International in terms of atten-
dance known in the 52 years the
IPM has operated, and the Local
Committee of York County has
been active in arranging special
events to augment the plowing
program and add interest to the
show.
The "Bulldozers" of Brama-
lea, a girls' tug-o-war team,
has challenged the reeves and
deputy-reeves of the municipal-
Planning on turning those sod
fields into corn? "You can start
your quack grass eradication
program this fall", says Dr.
John Bandeen, Crop Science De-
partment, Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph.
He recommends that four
pounds of active atrazine per
acre will kill quack grass, and
the best method is a split appli-
cation of this chemical. "On hay
or pasture fields known to be
infested with quack grass," Dr.
Bandeen advises, "spray two
pounds active atrazine per acre
any time from September to mid-
ities in York to a series of
in atches.
Of special interest to women,
will be the Hydro Showtime where
Ontario Hydro home economists
will present cooking shows each
day. It is hoped that Earl Cox,
well known authority on garden-
ing, will also be on hand to
demonstrate the care of home
plants and garden perennials.
Women will also find enjoyment
as spectators at the Queen of
the Furrow Contest on Thursday,
Oct. 14. Because of the expand-
ing interest of women inthe IPM,
many of the exhibitors occupying
space in Tented City are slanting
their shows more and more to
the women.
October; wait one week to one
month, then plow. Next spring,
work the soil, plant the corn and
spray on two more pounds of
atrazine on each acre. This sec-
ond application can be preemer-
gent to the corn or, with a water
solution or in an oil-water emul-
sion, it can be postemergent. The
oil-water emulsion will give a
faster burn-off on any new quack
grass growth under dry soil con-
ditions, but the water treatment
will eventually kill this plant."
The first application can also
be sprayed on the sod in early
spring after quack grass growth
has started. Depending on the
season, April 10 to 25 are the
usual application dates. While
this spring treatment is equally
effective, wet spring soil con-
ditions can make fall treatments
more convenient to apply.
Splitting the treatment is im-
portant. It results in a longer
period of atrazine residue in the
soil, ensuring more effective
eradication. Plowing after the
first treatment also places stress
on the quack grass, thus aiding in
eradication, Yet, other advan-
tages exist. Preplant treatment
(any time in fall or spring) hin-
ders the quack grass from com-
peting with the corn seedling;
postemergence treatment not
only kills the quack grass which
escaped preplant treatment, but
controls annual weeds, too. "Un-
fortunately," Dr. Bandeen re-
lates, "too many farmers use a
single postemergence treatment.
The corn has already suffered
from the early competition, and
Storm delays
area harvest .
Heavy rain in some areas over
the weekend further delayed the
area bean harvest. Continued
damp weather has held back the
harvest and is now causing con-
cern to area farmers. Sunday
afternoon some growers in the
Hensall area who escaped the
worst part of the rain were
rushing harvesting operations
rather than risk more rain. Agri-
cultural representatives have in-
dicated harvesting wet beans can
produce wet rot.
Although some areas may have
welcomed the rain it was not
needed in most of this locality.
Pastures are green and in good
shape and most area farmers
would prefer some dry warm
weather to complete their har-
vesting operations.
The storm caused other dam-
age as well. A holstein cow owned
by Richard Taylor of RR 2 Kippen
was struck by lightning and killed
about 1:30 p.m. during the height
of the severe electrical storm.
For the first time in the his-
tory of Canada's 4-H Club move-
ment, a national delegation of club
members will travel to Chicago
to attend this year's 44th National
4-H Club Congress, November
28-December 2. Ten members,
one from each province, will
arrive in Chicago on November
27 to participate in one of the
most outstanding annual 4-H
events in the United States, which
includes attendance by more than
1200 award winning 4-H. mem-
bers from all states of the union.
The Canadian delegation will
be financed by International Min-
erals & Chemical Corporation
(Canada) Limited, Esterhazy,
Saskatchewan, a member of the
Canadian Council on 4-H Clubs,
and accompanied by two provin-
cial 4-H extension representa-
tives and Council Manager, Jam-
es D. Moore, Ottawa.
Organized and sponsored joint-
ly by the Co-operative Extension
Service and the National 4-H
Service Committee Inc., the Con-
gress is similar in purpose to the
annual fall conference held in
Ottawa and Toronto for Canadian
4-H award winners.'The program

Feed Conference in Toronto
Three Shur-Gain dealer representatives from the Exeter area who were in Toronto recently to attend
the 22nd Annual Shur-Gain Feed Conference are shown here with Miss Shur-Gain — Christa Hering of
Toronto. Left to right, they are: Stan Preszcator of the L, P. Boulianne Mill at Creditor; Carfrey Cann
of Cann's Mill, Exeter; and KevinDelbridge, also of Cann's Mill, Exeter. Approximately 300 representa-
tives from Shur-Gain feed service mills throughout Ontario attended the Conference, which was high-
lighted by presentations on livestock and poultry feeding developments.
by early July, the quack grass
shoots have probably removed
50 to 60 pounds of nitrogen and
30 to 49 pounds of potassium per
acre -- all lost to the corn."
In areas that have been in corn
and have become infested with
quack grass, atrazine at two
pounds active per acre can be
applied to quack grass foliage in
the fall after silage corn is re-
moved or soon after the corn has
been picked, if the crop is early.
If the corn is harvested late in
the fall, then the first atrazine
application should be in the
spring. Another variation invol-
ves plowing under the stalks
either in the fall or in the spring,
and applying the first two pounds,
of atrazine to the resulting quack
grass foliage. However, the first
two pounds could also be applied
just prior to the last cultivation
during seedbed preparation. This
way, the first application is in-
corporated into the soil and the
