Both ministry officials said
white bean crops would be
good this year. Mr. Scott said
more farmers are growing
white beans because of the
expense of raising livestock.
Mr. Heard said that right
now he is figuring on an
average yield of white beans
for Huron County. He said
there were some problems
with drought and some insect
damage.

Corn insects
I have had several calls in
the past week concerning
insect damage to the ears of
grain corn. These insects are
the corn rootworm beetles -
both Northern (green) and
Western (yellow with 3 blacks.
stripes on back) - and the sap
or picnic beetle (black with
four white or yellow spots on
back). The corn rootworm
beetles are feeding on the
silks of the cob. If they nip the
silk off before pollination,
partially barren ears may
result. Most corn is pollinated
before pea k adult emerg-
ence so ear damage is mini-
mal. The sap beetle will feed
on several fruits or veget-
ables, but prefers rotting or
injured plant material. So,
sap beetle feeding on corn is
often an indication of prev-
ious injury; such as bird
damage, feeding by the corn
borer or corn earworm, or
perhaps even silk feeding by
the rootworm beetle. Little
damage results from sap
beetle feeding. They leave us
the best kernels, preferring to
finish off damaged kernels
and small ear tip kernels. It is
almost impossible to control
the sap beetle. Raspberry
growers spraying with mala-
thion within one day of
harvest get unreliable con-
trol. Sweet corn producers
manage to keep numbers
down through control of corn.
earworms and corn borers
who cause the initial inviting
damage. No control is econ-
omical or practical on field
corn. Sap beetles•are protect-
ed from spray inside the
husks, and cousins can fly in
from next door as easily as
rootworm beetles. Best con-
trol for these insects is a frost.
And I am not going on record
as calling for an early frost,
just to rid the fields of these
freeloaders.
John Heard, Assistant
Agricultural Representative
Army worms gone
While army worms were a
problem to farmers in June,
spraying seems to have elim-
inated the problem.
Assistant Agricultural Re-
presentative of the Huron
Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food in Clinton said
the army worm invasion was
over in two weeks. He added
that some years they are a
problem in the fall, but
nothing has been reported
yet.
Allan Scott, the Agricul-
tural representative at the
Perth OMAF office in Strat-
ford said there were concerns
regarding the spring grain,
but no problems showed up
during harvesting.
Mr. Scott noted that corn
root worm is always a prob-
lem. He said with strong
winds experienced earlier
this summer corn that had not
been treated during planting
was knocked down. Mr.
Scott said treating the corn
are excessive speed, unsafe
lane changes and following
too close. Instructions have
gone out to the 190 OPP
detachments to ensure all
members of the Force operat-
ing during this period do their
utmost to check thses contra-
ventions of the law.
Motorists are reminded
that the law in Ontario
requires them to "Buckle
up" their seat belts. It is a
proven fact that the use of
seat belts reduces deaths and
serious injuries.
"W e will have every
radar unit out in our cars,"
says Commissioner Graham.
"The public should know that
they'll be used in unmarked
cars as well as the familiar
black and white cruisers."
The OPP urge drivers to be
patient in the heavy traffic
expected during this sum-
mer's last long weekend.
