OHTAPM PAGE HN" Irrigation of Tobacco -Increasing- in Ontario Irrigation of flue-cured tobac- en, has increased greatly du ring the past few years according ta Milton Watson, Tobacco Field- man, Ontario Department of rî, Agriculture. Approxîmately 65% Er,. toe ý i*f this year's crop will >,e g ed if the weather is dryJesng the water require- mient on three irrigations, ap- proximately five billon gallons will be used-, enough ta supplyl a' city the size of Hamilton for néarly six months. Irrigating is done cbiefly dur- ing July and August when the plants are grawing rapidly and temperatures are normally high. JACK DRGUGH ]PLUIMBING and REATING . Division MA 3-5615 Street South BOWMANVELLE A lack of moisture during early July can be especially harmful. The amount of water applied varies with the type of soul; lighter textured souls requiring Iess than heavy souls. The range early in July is usually from 2/3 ta 4/5 inch and later, after topping, from one inch ta i i,2 inches dependîng upon the soil texture. Light souls do flot require as much water per irrigation as do heavy salis, the water penetrat- ing ta a greater depth in light soil, and if too much is applied at one time it will go down be- iow the root zone of the plant, possibly taking some of the plant food witb it. Light souls, however, require more frequent irrigation because of this inabil- ity ta retain moisture. In determining when ta irri- gate, the appearance of the plant is often the deciding factor. This is flot always reliable as irriga- tion should begin hefore the plant shows signs of drought. Readings from a moisture meter on moisture blocks buried in the soul is another method, as is the use of a ramn gauge and keeping a soul moisture budget. Since too much water will tend ta lower leaf grades and reduce the yield, over-ir.rigatian is unwise and expensive not only from the standpoint of applying the extra water, but also froni the decrease in returns per acre. Why Bloat In Cattie Veterinary research scientists in many parts of the world are continuing ta look for the exact causes of bloat in cattle. Bloat is the result of an over-filling of the rumen, the largest campart- ment of the cow's stomach with gas. Such gas is a product of the digesflive pracess, but under AUTOMATIC f 7RIIN, METERLED flELIVERY SERVICE Topdress your legume hay and pastures now with AGRICO for higger yields of high quality rough. age, and to provide plenty of high protein grazing throughout the Summer and FaU. normal conditions, the gas is eliminated by belching bef are any overfilling and resultant distress occurs. According ta the Ontario Vet- erinary College the actual prob- lem is not wby or bow much gas is formed, but rather why the gas accumulates in the pauncb. If veterinary scientists knew why bloated cattle cannot eliminate this gas by beiching then the probleni af prevention and cure would be.less cop- cated.*1 Among the many theories as ta the cause af bloat are, a para- lysis of the rumen fram indiges- tion, or that a type of feed, for instance legume pasture, fnay play a part. In some areas a de- ficiency of phosphoraus seems ta contribute ta the problem. In any event it is known that it is always safer ta use pasture con- tain-*.ig at least one-half grasses rathér than -straight legumes. In somne areas a phospharous supplement appears ta ease the bloat problem in cattle.

Maeonly by Agricultural Chemicals Limited ONTARIO Farm ponds are becoming increasingly commaon through- out Ontario where they afford a source of water supply for domestic and livestock use; lire protection; irrigation, and also for recreatian. They are how- ever, only a minor factor in flood control as they are unable to provide much extra storage in time of heavy nain or floods. The location of a famm pond depends upon the use that is ta be made of it, and according ta Ross Imwin, Depatment of Ag- ricuitural Engineering, Ontario Agricultural College, if it is far recreation and fire protection, it should be near the bouse and buildings; but if it is for pastures and irrigation, it should be centmally located. Mr. Imwhi stresses that if the water is to be used for domestic purposes, it s hould bè tested fequently for contamination and, as a, precautian, famm pond water shouid also be filtered before being used. Watem requirements for anv- thing but irrigation are quite small.

Some 270,000 gallons of surface runoff are required for each acre ta be irrigated whjcb means that a pond ten feet deep would have ta be two, acres in size ta irrigate twenty acres. There are two main types of ponds-the excavated or dugout type and the impound- ing type which requires a dam. The cost varies with shape and type and the macbinery avail- able ta build it. Ponds shouid be fenced as a safety measure ta prevent livestock from drowning.

Garfield Nicholson, R.R. 2. Parkhili, reports 120 busheis of Garry oats on a mcasured acre of 16 acres and based on bin measuremnents. This is voucbed for by Agricultural Represent- ative Keith Riddell of Middlp- sex. These oats were seeded on April 1 at the rate of 1 '2 bush- els per acre on cornland. The field received 100 lbs. amnmon- ium nitrate and a generous application of 4-24-20 per acre. Hector Quelette, R.R. 1, El- ectric, Kent County, harvested 238 bushels of Hudson barley fromn twa acres. The fieid was in a high state of fertility, hav- ing grown burley tobacco the previaus two years. This cer- tainly is an ail time record for winter barley. A return of 96 busheis per acre of Hudson barley was ob- taîned by Arsend Couture of Dover Centre. Mr. Couture toak off 1,103- bushels from ll'ï. acres.
