Since each seed contains an
undeveloped plant it is
important to protect it against
soil insects and disease
pathogens.
Germinating seeds and young
seedlings are subject to attack by
various disease organisms which
may be in or on the seed, or in
the soil surrounding the seed.
They cause seed rot,
damping-off, seedling blights,
and smut which reduce stands in
various ways, thus affecting
yield and quality.

Farmers show
some persuasion
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, president Gordon
Hill believes that recent action
by the Trudeau government
proves farmers do have the
power to persuade those who
lead the country.
Federal Minister of
Agriculture H. A. "Bud" Olson
has announced that the
government will accept the OFA
recommendation and maintain
present rate levels for the
coming year in the feed freight
assistance program.
The OFA asked the
government to abandon plans to
make less money available to the
assistance program for the
upcoming fiscal year.
Mr. Hill explains that a cut in
funds available to the program,
coupled with a possible -increase
in shipping, could have resulted
in a decrease in assistance rates.
He emphasizes that this situation
could seriously hurt Ontario
farmers financially.
The Federation president says
that indications point to a
shipping increase of as much as
500,000 tons in the coming
year. He says this is due to an
increase in both hogs and
poultry production.
Mr. Olson stressed in his
announcement that he wanted
to remove the fear that the
continuing heavy demand for
feed grains would mean a
reduction in assistance rates.
The Federation president
points out that the present rates,
established in November of last
year, provide a generally
equalized transportation cost to
feeding areas in eastern Canada
and British Columbia.
Hydro warns
kite flyers
Ontario Hydro has warned
kite flying enthusiasts that
carelessness could cut short their
summer recreation.
Because electricity will take
the shortest route to the ground,
metal struts, metallic wire,
wire-reinforced string and even
damp string will act as a
conductor.
The golden rule of kite flying
is KEEP AWAY FROM POWER
LINES. The best places for kites
and kite flyers are the wide open
spaces.

Fresh fruit to be available
along controlled highways
Peninsula and necessitates a
completely new approach to
roadside marketing.
Plans for the new stands,
believed to be the first located
along a controlled-access
highway in North America, were
developed during the past year
by committees of growers and
civil servants directed by D, E.
Williams, Chairman of the
Ontario Food Council, Ontario.
Department of Agriculture and
Food, The location of the stand,
a crucial factor in its success,
was carefully selected to ensure
traffic safety and convenience
for all motorists using the
Q.E.W.
Plans for the construction of
a second set of produce stands
on the north side of the Q.E.W.
near St. Catharines are now
being prepared.
The construction and leasing
of these new produce stands is
being handled by the Ontario
Department of Public Works.
The planners of the stands
feel that roadside marketers in
both Canada and the U.S.A. will
be keenly interested in this
development. This service-center
approach may prove to be the
solution that will enable
roadside operators to sell
produce to the ever-increasing
number of travelers using
controlled-access highways in
North America.
The old Ontario Government
stands, which must be removed
to accommodate the
modernization of the Q.E.W.,
were constructed by the Ontario
Department of Highways
approximately 30 years ago.
This was done shortly after
completion of the Q.E.W. to
alleviate the traffic hazard
created by over-the-fence selling
of fruit and vegetables by
individual farmers.
To date, construction on the
Q.E.W. has removed only three
of these stands. The stand at
Vineland Station will remain in
use until construction on the
highway necessitates closing it.

Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food, says that
these diseases may be prevented
or their incidence reduced
substantially by the use of
seed-treating chemicals. These
disinfect the surface of the seed
and protect it by providing a
chemical barrier against
soil-invading fungi.
Readily available for this
purpose are the well-known
mercurial fungicides. In addition
there are three carbamate
(non-mercury) drill box
formulations, namely Chipman
Agrox N-M, Niagara Polyram,
and Green Cross Res. Q, which
give good control. Another
non-mercurial, known as
Vitavax, was registered recently.
It is a systemic chemical and will
kill fungi inside the embryos of
seed, and thus will control the
loose smuts of wheat and barley.
Insects attacking seed and
seedlings are usually controlled
quite effectively by treating the
seed with insecticides, says Mr.
Bereza. Wireworms in small grain
and corn are controlled with
lindane, while diazinon is used
on the corn seed maggot. The
insecticides may be applied in
combination with a fungicide.
It should be noted that seed
treatment is not always a
cure-all. Where crop rotation is
not practiced, an excessive
buildup of diseases or insects
associated with a particular crop
may occur.
Such a situation combined
with favorable weather
conditions (usually wet and
cool) often creates an
excessively high incidence "of
organisms that may not be
controlled by seed treatment
alone. In addition, certain
diseases are not controlled by
chemicals.
For example, for
Cercosporella foot rot and

take-an disease, which both
occurred extensively in 1969,
rotation with crops other than
wheat and barley, and
plow-down of stubble are the
only control measures that can
be applied.
Where seed is treated
chemically each year and crop
rotation is practiced regularly,
insect and disease problems
seldom arise.
Ask ban on
no deposits
No-deposit, non-returnable
bottles increase the cost of food.
This statement was made
announcing the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture will
step-up its campaign to have the
provincial government ban the
non-returnable, no-deposit glass
containers.
Discarded and broken bottles
cause the farmer possible injury
to himself and his animals. The
bottles cost the farmer expensive
time because he has to clear
them from fields and repair tires
and machinery cut and broken
by glass.
The OFA president says that
the careless attitude of the
general public costs money in
the end because the hazard of
discarded bottles adds to the
price of food as it costs the
farmer money.
The Federation first asked
the government in 1965 to ban
no-deposit non-returnable
bottles. The most recent meeting
with government officials about
the problem was in February.
Mr. Hill explains that the
problem of discarded bottles did
not start with the introduction
of non-returnable soft drink
containers. He says that people
have been discarding bottles
along country roads and fields
for many years.
Murray Gaunt, Liberal M.P.P.
from Huron-Bruce, recently
introduced legislation to
completely ban the no-deposit,
non-returnable bottles. The
Federation leaders calls on the
public to support this legislation.
The government has
announced it is considering its
own legislation to ban
no-returnable bottles and
increase the cash return value on
many different glass containers.
