Lucknow speaker telis of 'down under'
A large number of Huron
County farmers learned Thur-
sday night in Seaforth that their
farming conditions are much
superior to some other countries.
Those attending the annual
banquet of the Huron Soil and
Crop Improvement Association
heard about agricultural con-
ditions in Australia and New
Hay plan

authority has available for
assisting private land owners in
the preservation of woodlots.
On a question raised about the
large number of beavers that in-
habit Hay -swamp, Pearson
stated that the authority does not
have a mandate to remove the
beavers with the trapping by in-
dividuals being one method of
control. A large number of
trappers have been granted per-
mission to trap in the swamp this
year according to Pearson.
It was felt the reclamation of
gravel and sand pits should be of
high priority. Jack Tinney,
Reeve of Hay said that legisla-
tion designed to guarantee the
restoration of these sites is a dis-
tinct possibility but it 'will
reflect in the cost of gravel.'
The summary meeting of the
previous workshops will be held
tonight at 8 p.m. at the Hay
township hall.
Zealand from Dixie Cameron of
Lucknow,
Mrs, Cameron spent five
months "down under" early in
1977 on an Ontario Junior Farmer
exchange program.
She said most productive
acreage in the two countries was
irrigated. Their rainfall is short
from 10 to 12 inches to be prac-
ticable for farming.
Both countries are livestock
oriented but prices received by
farmers for beef and Iamb is
much less than in Canada,
The price 'for market lambs is
about one-quarter of what it is in -
Canada. This makes the price of
wool worth about one-half of the
total sheep product.
In Canada sale of wool actually
creates a loss. Associate Ag. Rep.
for Huron, Mike Miller said,
"After paying for clipping and
shipping, our farmers are behind
as far as the wool is concerned."
After watching and hearing
about agriculture in New Zealand
and Australia, Miller com-
mented, "This makes farming in
Huron County look pretty lush."
Soils and crops specialist for
Huron and Perth Pat Lynch gave
a detailed report on a number of
research projects held in the two
counties during 1977.
The bindweed control project
on the Usborne township farm of
Alvie Lovell was not as suc-
cessful as first thought.
Lynch commented, "Three

treatments appeared to give good
control by September, 1976,'
however, one year later it was
obvious the chemicals only killed
the tops the previous year and
most of the bindweed regrew."
On the subject of these tests,
Mike Miller said, "We report on
what actually happens and not
what we would like to have
happen."
A number of Huron and Perth
farmers co-operated with the
University of Guelph in a bean
insect and insecticide survey
under the direction of Dr. Cliff
Ellis.
The granular insecticides
tested by Dr. Ellis in 1976 were
effective for controlling bean
insects, but only for the first 31
days after application.
Since major insect infestations
occur a month after planting and
granular insecticides are only
effective in the plant for the first
month, therefore, granular in-
secticides need not be applied at
planting time. Foliar insecticides
can be effectively applied later in
the season if problems result.
A herbicide applicator
designed by Jim O'Toole and
Fred Bowers of Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology was
tested in bean fields for con-
trolling milkweed. The applicator
consisted of a felt roller mounted
on bicycle wheels.
The applicator was pushed
through the white bean fields and
herbicide was rolled off the felt
roller onto any milkweed plants
that were higher than the beans.
The chemical used was Round-
up.
