Wheat Seed Carryover Although it had little or no effect on crop establishment this fall jnuch of the 1986 seed wheat was lower in quality than, normal. This was caused by (1) diseases such as scab and (2) initiation of sprouting while in the head ('sprung wheat'). With the 'wet weather this fall, many growers were unable to, plant wheat and are considering saving the seed for next year. We would strongly recommend this, not be done, because of the seed's questionable questionable quality. Where possible, you. should return your wheat seed to the vert- dor. If yeu have to store seed consider consider the following: 1) Keep it in a dry,,cool location. 2) Ensure good air circulation around the bags, us- - ing palletts. 3) Do a germination test prior to planting. Use a minimum of 50 seeds/test and 4 tests. Place the seeds on a moist paper towel (without standing water). Cover loosely with plastic wrap, to ensure , high humidity without depriving the seeds of oxygen. oxygen. Allow the seeds to grow at room température (20"C) for seven days. Count the seeds. Only those having a "normal" shoot and root should be considered as germinated. germinated. 4) If you decide not to use the seed, remember, treated seed cannot be fed to livestock. Countervail Duty on U.S. Corn In a historic ruling on November 7, Revenue Canada imposed a temporary temporary duty of $1,46 (Can.) per bushel on U.S. corn imported into Canada. When announcing the decision, Revenue Canada said it, made a preliminary determination that the U.S. government subsidizes grain. corn production and these subsidies have hurt Canadian growers. It is the first time that provisional countervailing duties have been im- .posed on a U.S. agricultural com-, modity. The action began when the Ontario Ontario Corn Producers' Association ■ complained that subsidies were driving American corn prices below Canadian production costs. Revenue Canada will make its final subsidy determination by February 5. The Canadian Import Tribunal has begun its investigation of injury to Canadian growers and will announce its determination by March 7, 1987. Corn sales have been very slow as producers, feeders, processors and exporters try to figure out how the duty will affect the market. arms .crash and off wc went to 34th St. and 8th Avenue to take in' the show. I lie New York Gift Show is typical of the city itself, big, showy, overcrowded and with much flag- waving. Yet there was nothing there that wp hadn't seen before at our own somewhat conservative show held twice a year in Toronto. Nothing that is until 1 glanced at a Christmas display of 3 ft. high busy elves chopping and sawing, carolers lifting music sheets, and best of all, Santa and Mrs. Claus nodding and waving at me. On closer inspection, 1 notice a price tag of $99.(X) each. I called Debbie over for a consultation. consultation. Wc were most impressed, but decided to wait for surely wc would see these mechanical marvels again in August at the Canadian Gift Show in Toronto.
