Grant change
An increase in the yalue of grants paid to
producers as an incentive to improve par-
ticipation in the Stocker -Slaughter and
Sheep Development Programs of the Red
Meat Plan has been announced.
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). A new grant
has been made available to cover two-thirds
of the cost up to a maximum of $2,500 for the
purchase of livestock or feed scales. 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.
There has also been a change in the Sheep
Flock Improvement Program. The grant for
supervised weights is now f3.00 per head;
increased from $1.00 per head. The grant for
unsupervised weighings is still $1.00 per
.head.
Further information and enrolment forms
can be obtained at the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food office in Clinton.
Safe chemical use
Agricultural chemicals can be extremely
hazardous! Play it safe; always wear pro-
tective equipment such as rubber .gloves
and a respirator when handling pesticides.
Never use more than recommended rates' of
chemicals. Store unused materials in their
original containers under lock and key.
Check with your pesticide dealer or
agricultural representative for more infor-
mation on safe use and disposal of
agricultural chemicals. "DO IT OUR WAY -
.-IT WON'T HURT". This has been a
message from the Farm Safety Association.

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.
