"A 'Round Tuit"
for soil testing
This past spring and
winter we have made •a
lot , of fertilizer recom-
mendations. Too many of
them are without the
benefit of a soil test. You
know the reason for and
value of soil testing. But
you said yoil did not soil
test, you justnever got "a
round tuit." We are proud
to announce that we have
a big supply of round twits.
at the Ag office. You can
pick one up when you are
picking up, your soil test
boxes and sheets.
You will need one box
for every 15-20 acres.
Sample at least one core
per acre. We will try and
make one fertilizer
recommendation p'er
crop. However, the more
samples you ' take, the
better our recom-
mendationn, will be. Right
now is a good time to soil
test because you clan walk
most fields easily. 1'f you
soil test now, take
samples between the
rows. If you sample in the
row, you can pick up
some of the unused
fertilizer and throw the
analysis off.. If ^ some
areas of a field • appear
poorer send; them in .as a
separate sample. A soil
test is good for at least
two . years' recom-
mendations. .
Oh, by the way - we
must limit • you to one
round tuit per farmer. We
will need the rest for all
the jobs ' that we have
been putting off.
Onion -Leaved
corn plants
We have had numerous
calls . concerning corn
plants with yellow leaves.
These leaves turned
yellow because the leaves
were curled up or "onion -
leaved." Most of these
were onion -leaved due to
the extreme dry weather
Goderich Twp. council
conditions during June.
This onion -leaving is the
plant's natural reaction
to drought stress. During
normal. growth the corn
plant takes moisture
from the soil through ,its
roots. Thismoisture then
travels through the plant
and eventually to the
leaves. When it reaches
the ;leaves, it then exits
thraugh cells on - the
leaves.
Under drought con-
ditions, these cells
become less rigid.
Continued' drought
eventually makes the
leaves curl. hen • the
leaves curl, the un no
longer shines on these
leaves. If the sun does not
get to. these leaves, they
remain yellow. Once- we
get rain to .end the
drought these leaves
uncurl. When they un-'
curl, they are yellowish.
The •next leaves will
appear a normal green.

Fire destroys
Exeter police station
The - 'Exeter police
station was gutted in a
July 12 fire which left
damage estimated to be
$50,000. -
The Exeter Times -
Advocate ' reported that
no decision has been
made by . the town on
where to re -locate the
police station that had
operated out ' of a
renovated home.
Cause for the blaze has
been blamed on the of-
fice's photo copying
machine which jammed.
Chief Ted Day said that
fluid from the machine
started on fire and he put
out the blaze with a fire
extinguisher. Minutes
later the fire re -ignited
itself and before it could
be dowsed "the whole
thing went up" according
to Chief Day.
Exeter firemen worked
at the scene for over two
hours, but the _.,building
could not be saved.
Fortunately, radio
equipment and police
records were salvaged.
Gasoline saving tips
Observe the legal speed
limits of the
municipalities and
provinces. Driving within
the legal speed limits will
save you fuel . and will
reduce the risk of ac-
cidents. Driving at 90 km -
h (55 mph) instead of 110
km -h (70 mph) will save
up to 20 per cent of your
fuel bill.
Avoid jackrabbit
starts. Accelerate -
smoothly when passing or
merging. Try to avoid
rush hour traffic.
Anticipate traffic flow,
maintain a buffer space
between your car and
others around you.. Give
yourself the necessary
time "and space to drive
and you will "ave
Have the pressure on
all your tires checked
regularly, and certainly
before starting, out on a
trip. Properly inflated
tires can save up to eight
per cent of your fuel
co`sts. The use of radial
tires also adds to the
efficiency of your vehicle.

Mingo barley unveiled'Stewait,
Viewing a plot of -Mingo
barley was the highlight
of a recent Mingo Day -
held at the Stewart Seeds
research farm on High-
way 7, east of Ailsa Craig.
Close to 100
representatives from- all
the- fields of media
throughout Ontario were
in attendance. In --
previous years, the,
special event was named ..
Media Day.
Progress of Mingo the
new strain of barley was
outlined .by Dr. George
Jones, • director of
research and develop-
ment for Ciba-Geigy
Seeds Ltd. and its
division Stewart Seeds.
The name, Mingo comes
from its creator Dr. Keh
Ming Ho, a nave of
Taiwan who came to
Stewart's six years ago
and started the dihaploid
breeding technique five
years ago.
Rod Maclnnes director
of marketing com-
mented, "When one
thinks back to 1974 when
Stewart's pioneered the
commercial use of.
dihaploid technique one
must stand in awe of the
outstanding
achievement. In 1980
there will be commercial
quantities of this licensed
variety for sale."
"Add to this
achievement of speed and
planning the ' fact that
Mingo is simply the.best
barley in Ontario today
and the combination is
powerfully impressive",
continued MacInnes.
Dr. Jones aid the
lice,i;rg of Mingo barley
was a major ac-
complishment. He
continued, "From here
on in we expect to have a
continuous flow of new
barley varieties. Our next
release ... will likely . be
another six -row feed
barley for Eastern
Canada followed by . a.
two2row feed .possibly as
early as 1981".
According to Jones,
Stewart's expect. -to have
developed their first
malting barley cultivars
for both east and west.
and west.
Mingo barley • was
tested for four years in a
total of 49 trials, 21 at
Stewart's and 28 eastern
co-op trials.
Dr. Jones believes that
barley, production in
Eastern Canada can be
increased by more than
four .million bushels
because of Mingo. It has
produced average yields
of 94 bushels per ac 'e,
