PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 5,1972 - 19 Alfalfa weevil threat to crops this season Indications are that ex- tensive damage to alfalfa will be caused by the alfalfa weevil in a number of counties this year. Farmers should be checking their fields for leaf injury and be prepared to take a control measure, says Karl Bereza, extension entomologist, Ont- ario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, While coolness and rain suppressed weevil activity earlier this year, the perio- dic hot spells in the last two weeks of May matured eggs rapidly. This is now resulting "in considerable bud and top leaf injury by the larvae (worms). Damage to alfalfa at the Industry in Ontario growing The outlook for business, manufacturing and employ- ment opportunities in the province of Ontario is pro- mising if one considers 1971 statistics as-a yardstick in these matters. Following are some figures released from the Ministry of Industry and Tourism in a booklet entitled "Ontario Industrial Review 1971." INCOME AND INVEST- MENT:*In 1971, private and OWASCO VOLKSWAGEN LTD. Sales and Service -- Bank Financing Diagnostic Service (TUTHETCR OT IRN TT) 1425 DUNDAS ST. E. WHITBY, ONT SERVICE CARS 668-9383 668-9384 public investment in Ontario totalled $7.3 billion, or just under 40 per cent of the Canadian total of new inves- tment for the year. Total personal income in Ontario grew by 9.9 per cent in 1971 to $30.1 billion. ONTARIO EXPORTS: Exports to all countries last year totalled 8.09 billion, an increase of 7 per cent over the previous year. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT- ION: Value of factory ship- ment of manufacturing industries increased to just under $26 billion, which represents more than 50 per cent of the total national value. RESDIENTIAL CONSTR- UCTION: This area showed the greatest strength of all capital investments exceed- ing the previous year's total by more than 20 per cent, to $1.5 billion. TRADE FAIRS: Ontario sponsored exhibits of goods produced within the province at six major international trade fairs in Britain, Eu- rope, Australia and the U.S., with participation by 53 Ontario companies. In seek- ing new products abroad, 34 Ontario industrialists visited' ; trade fairs in Europe and Japan through the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. The Ministry held 13 export fo- rums and seminars to pro- vide management training programs on exporting techniques for 583 manu- facturers, in 1971. In 1971, 360 Ontario man- ufacturing plants construc-. ted additions at a total capital expenditure of more than $500 million, creating 7,536 new jobs. Last year, 126 new manufacturing establishme- nts came into existance, each employing at least ten per- sons, occupying at least 5,000 square feet of manufacturing or assembly space, or have sales exceeding $100,000- annually. All but 17 of these have their origin in this country. In many respects, Ontario is truly Canada's province of opportunity. The revenues created through the expan- sion of trade and industry has helped pay for the services and products that give this province a standard of living and life style as good as any place in the world.

In other counties adjacent to Lake Ontario, peak larval feeding and damage is expected during the week of June 12. While not all alfalfa fields in these areas are expected to be badly damaged, gro- wers must examine their fields to see what the sit- uation is on their particular farm. Weevil infestation may vary from year to year, farm to farm, and even from field to field on the same farm. When one-quarter of the plants in a field show feeding damage a control measure should be considered. Dam- "aged plants should not be No Cover Charge or Dancing Vo oll ld ddd ddd ddd 4 .

However, re- search has shown that it does not pay to use chemical control unless the forage stand is at least one-half alfalfa.
