Huron farm news
In spite of advances in
herbicides weeds continue
to be a problem in crop
production. New species are
coming into fields, old
species become resistant to
certain chemicals and in-
creasing population of
problem weeds make weed
'.control even more difficult.
The problem weeds will be
highlighted and controls dis-
cussed in a weed meeting at
the Lucknow Legion Hall,

LIQUID MANURE
STORAGE
Are you being robbed of
manure storage? Whether
you like it or not, the answer
is yes. The problem is twice
as bad if you have an
open-top tank.
In any manure tank, there
is always a certain amount
that can't be completely re-
moved. This includes sludge
buildup and the last half foot
or so that just can't be taken
out because of the design of
the pump. One man in the
business of custom manure
hauling said that most tanks
were left with an average of
about one foot of manure.
Another commonly over-
looked robber is pre-
cipitation. In a six month
period we get about 18
inches of precipitation -
whether in the form of rain or
snow. This doesn't evaporate
in the winter so you're left
with that much less storage
for manure.
So, when figuring out your ,
tank size, figure the size of
tank you'll need based on
manure production for at
least six months. Then add
on about two and one half
feet for an open-top tank.

itself in the total accident'

This fact bears out the
Force theory that
preventative patrols are most
important in reducing traffic
collisions on Ontario roads."
You can modify this for a
covered tank or where there
is extra storage in the barn.'

HELP KEEP OUR
RIVERS CLEAN
Avoid Manure Spills '
Large spills of manure mean trouble when
they enter our streams and rivers. They
kill fish, upset aquatic plant life and are
dangerous to the people and animals
downstream who use that water.
With Proper Storage ,
All Ontario farmers should be following
proper manure storage procedures. The
need for adequate manure storage is well
established and printed material on good
facility design is available from your Local
Ministry of Agriculture and Food Office.
Manure is an Agricultural Asset.
Don't Waste It.
