Weather conditions Thursday
prohibited the ceremonial ribbon
cutting and pushing of the button
to officially open the new fer-
tilizer blending equipment at the
Belgrave branch of United Co-
operatives of Ontario.
All proceedings were trans-
ferred to the Belgrave WI hall
where about 100 UCO members
and patrons heard various
speakers give specific informa-
tion about crops and the a choices
of fertilizers.
Jim Dell spoke of yields as
against operating costs. He spoke
of the advantages of early plant-
ing made possible by the use of
certain nutrients. -
UCO executive Bob McKercher
commented on the advantages of
the blender method of mixing fer-
tilizers' and said he was sure the
farmers would find the new
equipment very practical.
Don Cotton, UCO agronomist,
detailed the various types of
crops, using charts td show the
relationship of specific crops to
volume, feeding qualities and
cost of production.
Glenn Johnston spoke of the
work factors, describing lower
spreading and nutrient cost, the
flexibility in the ability to have
any required ratio of fertilizers
blended, the advantages of soil
tests to determine the need for
fertilizers, the availability of any
special mix either bagged or de-
livered in bulk.
Arnold Bruce of Arnold Bruce
Construction Co., Belgrave, who
built the structure housing the
new blender, presented the keys
to the branch manager, Murray
Lougheed and Mr. McKercher
made suitable remarks to offi-
cially open the new facility. He
commented humorously on the
fact that he had no scissors long
enough to reach from the hall to
the blender at the UCO buildings.
Howard Lang, soil and crop
specialist, Department of Agri-
culture and Food, also spoke and
congratulated the UCO members
on their foresight in having a fer-
tilizer blender established in the
area.
