NEXT YEARS WEED CONTROL
Many weeds escaped the killing
effects of herbicides in 1976.
Weather caused some of the
escapes and, humans caused some
more. Not knowing what weeds are
present is the biggeit single reason
for weed control failures. Take
time and make an inventory of your
fields for weeds this fall and then
use the,right spray at the right time
next Spring. If you have weeds you'
can't identify make a collection of '
them and get someone to identify
them before next spring. You
should collect the whole plant
includinglhe root for identification
and if you cannot get it identified
fresh, spread the plant out between
sheets of newspaper and put some'
weight on top., We can identify
most weeds at oUr office.

Both have to do with manure
systems,
In the first case some farmers,
who have obtained' Certificates of
Compliance, for their livestock
operationi', have not followed
through with the structural chang-
es and Management' practice as'
stated in the original application, or
that form part • of the conditions
under which the certificates were
issued: As a convenience, ‘the
Certificates that have been issued
are not valid and' therefore of little'
value 'to the farm owners:
The second situation is some-
what related in that many farmers,
in setting • up a liquid 'Manure
handling system, have constructed
open-top,' below-grade manure
tanks. Some of these farmers have
not completed their installations in
the construction of some type of
protection fence around the open
tank. Owners of liquid manure
tanks have a legal, as well as moral
responsibility, to see to' it that
every reasonable effort is made to
prevent any person or animal from
falling into the tank. Certainly a
manure tank with its open top at
ground line, is a very dangerous
hazard on any farmstead unless
some type of effective barrier is
placed 'around it. One' suggestion
for a barrier around an open,
in-ground manure tank is the use of
a solid fence 6 to *8 feet high. This
will cut down on the effect of wind
disturbing the liquid surface, thus
reducing odours. It Will also reduce
the amount of snow that can drift
into the open tan•k in winter (thus
reducing its useable capacity).
Most important of all it will keep
people (particularly children) out of
possible trouble.
Follow-through is important.

4-H QUILT
With the skilled help of many
qualified ladies' hands, • the 4-H
quilt is now ready to be displayed
at Bruce County's Fall Fairs.
During 'the week of August 11, 12
and 13, many ladies helped' quilt
several 4-H blocks that all the
different 4-H Homemaking and
Agricultural Clubs. sitbmitted.
Designs and ideas from all parts of
the• County are portrayed M this
magnificent display of stitchery.
Many thanks go to all those who
helped in any way.
The quilt will be raffled off at a
dance which has been scheduled
for this occasion, to be held at the
Walkerton District Secondary
School 9.00 p:m. to 1.00 a.m.
Saturday, November 6.
Tickets will be, distributed by 4-H
Council representatives in every
area of the County.
Also at this •dance, those who
sponsored Bruce County's delegat-
es to British Columbia will be
honoured. This is "not an ordinary
4-H dance and so requires proper
attire.

FARM REPORT:.

DAIRY RELEASE
:After several years- of rising
production, and increased returns,
Ontario's Dairy Industry is going
through a draqtie turn-around• in
seventy-six, .Canada, required 95
million hundredweights of milk for
the Production of industrial dairy
products in the last year. Dairy
farmers responded to the call for
Increased production, with many
expansion programs. Nature
provided ' the , most, ideal crop
growing year experienced 'in ',the
last decade.
The combination of these two
• conditions.,`long with ,several other
factors, resulted in' a production of
one hundred and eleven million
hundredweights, far 'in excess of
the requested ,producfion.
Drastic curtailment of produCtion
this year was' required .and the
'76-'77 Dairy 'policy was designed
to meet that objective. All dairy
farmers 'have been hurt by this
policy and a small number have
beep severely restricted in their
production and income.. . As .a
whole, Ontario dairymen, have
responded well to. this challenge.
Production controls have 'Obviously
occurred at the farms, and • as a
result some modifications to the
original Dairy policy have been
made.
Ontario inditstrial milk produc-
tion for the first four months of this
calendar year ran well in excess of
the comparative four months • of
seventy-five. Statistics now indi-
cate that since the • '76-'17 Dairy
policy announcement, . with its
severe production control, milk
flow has dropped sharply. These
statistics indicate that butter pro-
duction for the January-June
period this year, is twenty ;six
percent below last year's 'level, and
cheese production is twelve and a
half percent below a year ago.
In Ontario almost fifty-five
percent of the milk production goes
into, butter and cheese' production
and thirty-seven percent is deliver-
ed into the fluid trade. The
remaining production goes into
other' dairy products.
Ontario crop growing conditions
and harvesting weather, have not
been nearly as ideal this summer as
they were last year. If present
trends continue, most dairymen
will have little trouble controlling
fall and winter milk production,

FOLLOW-THROUGH
One of our common human
failings is the fact that we often
fully intend to do something but
time goes by and we fail to
follow-through with our original
plans. In my travels throughout
the County, "I have noted two areas
where this lack of follow-through
has oicufred on some, farmstiads.
