New barley se,ed
praised by farmers
Seed barley fields of the
new variety, Bruce. are
being harvested across
Ontario and growers are
unanimous in their
praise. Yields of 90
bushels per acre have
been reported often and
quality is very high. •
Bruce Barley is cer-.
tairely living up to its
advanced billing.
Developed by the Ontarits
Cereal Project Group at
the University of Guelph,
this exciting new cultivar
has exhibited higher yield
and better resistance to
HOminthosporium
disease than any
presently recommended
barley variety in Ontario.
Bruce is also resistant to
'prevadent races of
mildew and stem smut
and tolerant to loose
smut.

County Match in McKillop
Huron County is not
only the host of the
International Phiwimg
Match this fall, but on
September 1 and 2 the
annual Huron County
Plowing Match will be
held_
Although there seems
to be some , confusion
between the two matches,
which is which and when
they will be held, the
Huron match has been an
annual _ event for the
county over the past 50
years. Meanwhile, the
International Match to be
featured just east of
Wingham this year, is a
much larger match, the
largest outdoor
agricultural event in the
world_
While the International
Match which will be held
at the Armstrong Farms_
in Morris Township on
September 26 to 30 may
draw daily crowds of over
50,000, the Huron Match
will deal more on a local
level_
It is hoped however
that the county match
which will be held on the
Ken. Campbell farm, lot
15 concession 6 McKillop
Township will prepare
Huron for the big match
two weeks Later_
Price support for
l.977-78corn crop
The Farm Income
Stabilization Commission
of Ontario has announced
a support price of $2.38
per bushel for corn sold in
the crop year September
1, 1977, to August 31, 1978.
The Ontario support
price is based on 95
percent 'of the average
market prices for the
previous five years, plus
an adjustment for cash
production costs.
Establishment of the
Ontario price follows a
recent announcement by
the federal government
of a $2.26 per bushel
support level under the
federal plan.
The average market
price for the 1977 crop
year will not be deter-
mined until the middle of
September_ If that- price
is less than $2.26,
however, producers
enrolled in the Ontario
plan can expect a net
payment of at least eight
cents per bushel.
The Ontario plan is
funded one-third by
producers and two-thirds
by the Ontario govern-
ment. The producer's
share will be deducted
from the payment. More
than 11,500 corn
producers enrolled in the
1977 Ontario corn plan.
Claims forms for the
1977 crop year will be
mailed to participating
producers. Forms must
be filled out and returned
with receipts attached for
payment to be made.

Poor
weed
control?
How did your her-
' bicides work this year? If
you are like most Huron
County farmers, some
fields have excellent
weed control while other
fields are so-so. Part of
poor weed control is d
related to weather but too
' often it is a result a
choosing the wrong
herbicide or not knowing
the weed problem. Good
weed control must match
the herbicide to the weed
pi-a:dem. Right now is the
easiest time to identify
weeds since most are
fully grown. Once you
know your weeds, then
you can choose the right
herbicide. There is no
substitute for walking all
fields now and making a
list of the weeds that are
present This winter you
can choose your her-
bicides to fit specific
needs.

high -yielding barley is a
major breakthrough in
Ontario's cereal
program. Resistance to
most other major
diseases which attack
barley is an added bonus
in Bruce. The Helmin-
thosporium organism
causes barley plants to
break at', the top node
before - maturity..Low
yield and poorly filled
kernels result. The
disease is widespread in
Ontario.

year, the first that Bruce
will be available for
commercial production.
However, because bf
the very high grower
interest in this new
variety, it would be wise
for farmers to order their
requirements early for
1979. The disease
resistance and out-
standing yield of Bruce
will once again make
barley production a
profitable agricultural
enterprise.
John Anderson of Hensall is one of the many seed
barley growers in Ontario impressed with the
performance of the new variety, Bruce. He
harvested 75 acres of the new cultivar and says
most of his fields approached 80 bushels per
acre.
