The most frequent concern is uncertainty about the section for producers who are not participating in a provincial stahilt7atton program which requires witnessing by a commissioner for taking oaths This section is not applicable to Ontario producers as there is no provincial stabilization program for market hogs. Ontario producers need only complete the first page of the application forms and return it, along with their marketing hoard statement which indicates the number of hogs eligible For payment.

FARM Worst year ever for rootworm BRIAN HALL, Farm Management Specialist Corn rootworm causing corn to lodge is a big problem in Perth and Huron counties. In fact, corn rootworm is probably causing at bigger yield reduction in 1984 than any other previous year. Why is rootworm such a problem in 1984? The following is one possible explanation. Corn rootworms over winter in the soil as an egg. In May and June when the soil warms up, these eggs hatch. May of 1984 was cold. The accumulated heat units on June 3. 1984 was 294. This compares to a normal heat unit level of about'386. Since May 1984 was colder than most years, the rootworm hatched later than most years. The cold weather probably delayed the hatch by a week to 10 days, In 1984 the weather was cold but dry, This meant that much of our corm in 1984 was planted in early May,. In many cases fields were planted'one month earlier in 1984 than in 1983. As well as the early planting and late hatch, the heavy rains in early June probably leached some insecticide. • All of this meant, that the insecticide needed in 1984 had already been broken down. A similar problem in 1983 did not exist because the corn was, planted later in 1983 than 1984. • The break down of pesticides is a common occurrence. Many herbicides only last 6 to 8 weeks. If you apply an insecticide in early May, 6 to 8 weeks elapse before you really need it in late June and early July. By this time a lot of the insecticide js broken down. Another thing to 'remember is that most years we may only control 40 to 60 per cent of the rootworms. This year with the later hatch we may only have been controlling 30 to 40 Per cent of the rootworm. MORE ROOTWORMS 11x11984 It also appears that in 1984 there were higher levels of rootworms in corn fields. This can be verified by the many farmers who normally do not treat second year corn fields. This year those farmers are really taking a beating, They have a lot of lodged corn„ "I don't know why we have so many more rootworm in 1984. In 1983 we really did not have a high number of adults," they said. One suggestion is that during the spring -of 1983 many of the rootworms hatched and died before they did damage. Perhaps the wet soil induced the eggs to rot and not hatch. Or it is possible that there are soil' borne diseases that under wet conditions affect young corn rootworm. In any case it appears there were large numbers of active rootworms in the spring of 1984. WHAT ABO JT 1985? To this point the reason for our rootworm problem is conjective. There is no proof for the possible reasons for the problem. However, there are some definite things you can da for 1985. Corn rootworm is not a problem on first year corn ground. One year out of corn'is all that is needed to break the cycle. This is just another benefit of crop rotation, A suggestion '. is that a target for 1985 is to have half of the corn on first year land. Another suggestion is that by the late '80's you should have all your corn on first year corn ground. . Since in 1985 you will have to plant some second year corn, it is suggested you plant your first year corn first. Then plant your continuous corn. This way there will be fewer days for the insecticide to break down. There seems to be 'a difference among "^ hybrids. 11 may be a hybrid's ability to regrow roots after the rootworm has done the initial damage:.Or it may be a hybrid's ability to withstand root rots after the initial infections. At any rate, watch• closely any' hybrid trials that are planted on land that had corn in 1983. - There will be differences. • • SPECIAL PRICES IN EFFECT WED 9 A.M. OCT 3 UNTIL CLOSING SAT.
