In the Stocker -Slaughter Program, the weight grants have been increased from $2.00 to $5.00 per head with an annual max- imum of $750. Only two weights per animal will be allowed (i.e. an animal weight and performance check weight).

This grant is available UrStocker/daughter pro- ducers who have not received monies under the Cow -Calf Development Program.' • The effective date for these changes is April 1, 1985 for both the weight payment and the scale grant. Scales purchased between April 1, 1984 and March 31, 1985 are -not eligible for the new scale grant but will continue to be covered under the capital facilities grant.

(Till photo) Church service takes form of woods camp meeting TUCKERSMITH - Sunday evening, June 30 was special at Bethel Bible Church, Egmondville. In keeping with the theme commemorating Tuckersmith's 150 years, the evening church service took the form of a camp meeting in the woods. The platform was a flat -rack hay wagon placed in front of a row of old maple trees behind the church. This gave plenty of room for planks on blocks off wood, chairs and rows .of cars (modern buggies), so all could enjoy the ser- vice. On the platform was the 99 -year old pump organ from a country church, renewed in- side and out by, Murray Draper of Clinton, the present owner. The simple pulpit was mach older and was flanked by bush ferns in butter crocks. . As the crowd gathered they heard Jas. Robertson of Lucan playing the old church hymns on the organ with the support of ,Wilson McCartney of Tuckersmith and Stanley Hillen of Seaforth on their violins. The travelling preacher from Huron Cor- ners (Clinton) came in on horseback just in time for the service, suitably dressed for the occasion. His daughter Lynn and Ericka DeWolfe led the horse away. The horse, Goldie, was supplied by Gordon Steep, Holmesville. In absence of Pastor Robert- son, Ken McCowan conducted the service. The hymn sing led by organ.and violins in- eluded 'To God Be the Glory', 'Unto the Hills' and 'Nearer My. God to Thee'. The special music for the evening was Mr. and Mrs. Waldo DeWolfe singing 'There's a Land That is Fairer Than Day' and 'The Man I'm Looking For'. The Lobb Quartet sang, 'The Church in the Wildwood' and 'Will Your Anchor Hold'. The highlight of the 'evening was the message by Graham Russel, B.Sc., imper- sonating Uriah Wilson, the travelling preacher. His scripture was Luke 19:1-10, dwelling on the last verse, "For the Son of man is come to seek and•to save that which was lost." He named five ways a person can be lost. Not until one realizes they are lost, can they be saved. The message was presented in a' dramatic and thought- provoking way.-- The ay._The service closed by Julia Embling sing- ing 'Have' You Any Room for Jesus'. The, ladies ofthe church served refreshments while many visited, and toured the former school. The church was decorated with flowers for the occasion. Application methods can affect rootworm control.. ' Application techniques have a strong in! • fluence on the insect control success of an insecticide. Research at Guelph University .. and Dow Chemical Canada, Inc. shows that certain techniques assure better placement of insecticides and thus better -• control results. • . Dr. Cliff Ellis from Guelph University recently completed research on how wind speed and bander height affect granular in- secticide drift. The !project studied the amount of insecticide displacement at dif- ferent wind speeds. Ellis concluded that with a 20 kmh wind, which was the average in May 1984, the band could be displaced eight inches off the row... To offset the risk of displacement, he recommends a bander height of three to four inches above the soil surface. Three in- ches above the soil is optimum, however this' may not be practical depending.'on the amount of crop residue and cloddiness of the • fields: Research shows banding in front of the press wheel and just behind the planter shoe is the most effective way to apply Lorsban+ 15G"and several other insecticides. This method, called T -banding, places the insecticide where it is most effective. Some of the product falls into the furrow with the seed and the rest is intermingled with soil in a seven-inch band up to the surface, where rootworm larvae, are active. In addition, I banding ahead of the press wheel means the bander is closer to the planter where there is • protection from the wind. Not all rootworm control products can be applied ahead of the press wheels. However,. T -banding is the most effective application - technique for incorporating rootworm con- trol products. It is quite easy to adjust plan- ting equipment to accommodate application ahead of the press wheel. For, example, the Johr, Deere Max- ' Emerge planter simply needs the hose and bander shifted forward, In addition, most planters have either wind guards or ex- tenders to reduce the space between the • ground and banders and protect the in- secticide•from wind drift. Techniques for reducing wind drift and placing rootworm control products where they will do the most good are easy to use and can be very effective in improving root - worm control.

Push the elastic band through the thread spool hole. 2. Anchor one end of the elastic by sticking a short piece of toothpick through the loop and tap- ing the toothpick down. 3. Push the other end of the elastic through a button hole and anchor it by sticking the other toothpick through the loop. Keep this toothpick long enough so that it sticks out past the thread spool. 4. Wind up the button end of the spool and watch your gadget clickity-clack across the floor. Question: Does this gizmo work in water? Try it and find out.
