Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 13, 1977 5 Celebrotes First Birthday Hi. My name is Angela. I celebrated my first birthday on June 16. My mom and dad are Brian and Dale Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Barnes and Mr. and Mrs. Mlan Brown are my grandparents. We ail live in H.ampton.1 AGû"RI CU LTPURAL .NE W#S By Rod Stork, Assoc. Agricultural Representative Crop Conditions Update The dry weather conditions that bave prevailed across the area for most of tbe spring and now into the summer, bas caused many poblems for area farmers. Germinations in many of our later seeded corn fields bas been quite variable and plant populations are poor in some fields. Weed control programs in many fields of corn have flot been effective. Farmers, in some cases, have been blaming the chemical for lack of weed control, bowever, the prob- lems were due to inactivity of the chemical because of dry soil conditions. After the recent raias, we are seeing weed control from chemicals that were applied three and four' weeks ago now taking effeet in these fields. In many cases, corn fields 'are beyond the stage of goth where chemia eedcontrolïssafe,, and if weeds are a problem in y our fields, we would urge farmers to take a look at cultivating their corn fields rather than taking the chance of spraying fields and causing additional damage from spray material. spring grains such as oats and barley had them seeded earlier than ever this spring. However, dry weather caused spring grains to develop much sooner than usual, and many oat fields, and some barley fields are already headed out. Crops are short in many areas and, therefore, straw will be in short supply ln some areas this fail. Winter wheat and winter barley look good and with recent rains, theie cros should give good yields an a reasonable amount of straw. Hay yields are down quite a bit in most areas, although, farmers who have used good fertility programs in their hay bave reported average or above-average yîelds. Quality bas been reasonably god although it is dropping off rapidly now, as, most hay crops are fully headed out and protein levels in hay are quite a bit lower at tais stage of growth and beyond. Other field crops such as soybeans and' white beans are coming along fairly well, although weed control bas been some- what of a problemn because of the dry soil conditions. Early peas are now being harvested and yieids are lower than normal. Tobacco plants have been set out for some time now, and with the recent rains, growtb is taking place rafidthe fruit and vegetable areas, agaîn, dry weather conditions have'affected the growth of these crops across the area. As many people now know, fresh strawberres are on the market-either at pick- your-own operations,i or at fruit stands-along the roads. Quality is-generally good in the strawberry crop this year, however, yields probably wili be lower than in past years, especially in those fields wbere irrigation has not been available. Vegetable crops are now coming along quite well witb the recent rains, how- ever, continued ramn over the rest of the growing season will be required in order to maintain good growth and quality produce. Ail in ail, it bas been an interesting spring. Good con- ditions prevailed for planting but, low rainfail, some frost, bail in some areas, and a number of problems wîtb spray and fertilizer damage, have made it a very interest- ing crop growing season so0 far. Urea an Alternate Protein source -Urea is an economical alternative to natural sources of protein for dairy cattie. Using Urea, which is a common fertilizer ingredient, dairymen can save about $36 per ton of grain mix over a plant protein such as soybean supplement cost. Recent Drice increases for soybean meal have forced a re-evaluation of the amount and type of protein in many dairy rations. Feed- ing of soybean meal does not involve any particular prob- lems as far as overfeeding, however, when usirug Urea, care must be taken that it is not overfed and, consequently, the cost of the protein supple- ment can be reduced. Urea is best used in rations containing low protein high energy feed- stuffs such as corn, which a, good many dairy farmers use. Energy using microbes in the rumen of the cow break down urea to nitrogeli containing ammonia and then use it to, build microbiai protein. This then' supplies the animfais- ammino acids and protein needs. It is particularly important that the Urea be properly mixed in the ration. The best way to feed Urea is to buy a protein supplement containing some urea which can be added to the grain mix. It should be introduced into the cow's ration over a three to four week period. This avoids problems of toxicity ana bitter tast e by aliowing the animal to adapt to it over a period of time., One of the major concerns as expressed by dar producers witb regards to the use of urea is that it creates reproductive prob- lems. Usually reproductive problems that are attributed to urea use are not because the urea, but rather the result of other poor management tech- niques on the farm. Cows in early lactation producing over 50 pounds of milk per day, perform better on rations containing plant protein than urea. If a grain mix containing urea is -used, soybean 'meal should be topdressed to your higb producing cows during their early lactation., The rapidly increasing price of protein supplements bas nec- essitated many farmers look- ing bard. at their rations for their dairy animais. We have indicated in an earlier news columns that producers sbould not be cutting back on their proteins supplement to their cows, but rather looking at alternatives such as bigb quality hay and possibly the use of urea in their dairy cattle rations. 4-H Agricultural Club Program It has been some time since we brought you up to date as to the activities of the various clubs in the 4-H Agricultural Club Program in Durham County. We have 12 clubs going during the summer months ranging ail the way from Dairy Caîf Clubs to the 4-H Landscape Gardening Club. A total of 120 young people from ail across Durham county are partici- patîng in the 4-H Program during the summer. There are a number of activities up- coming in July of a county nature, which involves ail the members and we would like to bring these to your attention a t this time. On Monday, July 4th there will be a Judging Preparation Night at the agricultural office in Bow- manville; at which time, mainbers will be given some pointers and ideas on how to judge various classes of live- stock and field crops. This will get them ready for the county 4-H Judging Competition whicb will be held on Wednes- day, July'l3th at the farm of Gordon Wilson and Bey. Gray Values Effe ctive at Bowmanville, Store Mr. IGA's feature of the week. . THEO BERNARD - YOUR MR. IGA AT VICTORIA HARBOUR IGA, VICTORIA HARBOUR, ONT. ini the Garden Hill area. At this competition, members will be asked to judge classes of dairy, beef, sbeep, hay and flower arrangements as well as write a quiz and do an identification exercise. Scores are allotted for each of the classes and awards are avail- abNe to top participants in een of the tbree classes consisting of Novice, Junior and Senior Classes. On Tuesday, July 26th, ail of the 4-H clubs will be involved in the county 4-H Demonstra- tion Competition wbich will be beld at the Town Hall in Orono at 8 p.m. Each of the clubs bas selected a Demonstration team of two or tbree mem- bers, whose job if is to select a topic of interest to that club on wbicb they can carry out a five to seven minute demon- stration outlining the topic they have selected. This is an interesting program and we encourage parents and other interested peopfê to plan on attending: on the 26tb. Each demonstration is judged by a panel of judges and awards are available for the top demonstration of tbe evening. And, finally in July, on Friday, July 29tb, the 4-H Dairy Show Prepa*ýation Day will be held at the farm of Don Welsh, R.R. 4, Bowmanville. During, tbis program, dairy club members will be learning more about bow to feed, fit and prepare a caîf for their achievement show day, wbicb is beld in conjunction with a' local fair. Dairy cattie breed-' ers wbo bave bad considerable experience in sbowing live- stock will be on band during the day to put on demonstra- tions and answer questions on the proper methods of prepar- ing a caîf for the show ring. Tbis program is also open to county dairy cattie breeders, wbo are sbowing cattie in the ring and who would like to learn more about sbowing, flot only calves, but maâture dairy animais. Furtber information on this program will be sent to ail members and breeders at a later date. These, then, are some of the activities that will be going on in the 4-H Program in 'the montb of July, as well as the regular club meetings that are beid by ail clubs during the 4-H season. 77 King Street East BUSINESS DIRECTORY Accountancy Accountancy WILLIAM .HALL B.
