VALK ON VEGETABLES By Matthew VIK Lots of light needed to grow plants indoors indoors especially in the city is the lack of light There are many bouses of about water control be drainage and water

plant However it degree found chronic disease for which n drainage can of course be very detrimental to the production of high quality high yielding crops How ever we have two opposing We must have the provision of adequate drainage for optimum crop We must also have facilities to be able to maintain as high a water table as practicable to pro long the life of the soil as well as producing high yields So on the one side growers are paying through the nose to keep the water out and to pump millions of gallons of it out of the area but on the other side very few people are willing Farm Report

it is not as obvious as paying taxes has been shown by Michigan that if the ter table is kept at 17 In ches below the surface of the soil we lose about half inch of muck soil per year At 27 inches we lose three- quarters of an inch per year and at Inches we lose Inches of muck soil per year At the research station in the Marsh the average loss of soil since IMS been Inchw per year Many of have Man our water table go out of tight during the put growing Miion le vels in July were often veral feet below tile outlets which means that the water table wii down to day la- plain words ridiculous We are not only accelerating the disappear ing of our muck soils our only means of livelihood ut we also have lower yields and poorer quality I am convinced that a lot of our carrot quality troubles are caused by these very low water tables We are get ting a go kind of growing and It shows up In a crop such as carrots with off shapes short lengths skin roughness etc All of should be concerned By Al Wall Agricultural Representative for York County The message this fall on farm storage for grain is loud and clear Some place to put grain from the com bine and keep it is a very necessary part of any grain growing operation Price changes are conclusive proof I have heard of grain selling from the Geld this year as low as and 35 dollars per ton and in just about two months the price has gone up by about per cent So If its a ash crop storage would have more than paid for itself in one year A much bigger point in York County is that a livestock man could really cut feed costs by buying his feed for the whole year at harvest With current price levels for nearly all live stock products a good deal on grain could be a big help A large number of circular steel bins have been put up and the grain is easy to handle in and out I think high moisture storage in silos Is the ans wer where grain com is being stored for feeding Other systems work better on some farms For example Richard at Udora Gordon Murray at Maple and Almira Farms at represent seve ral farms using organic acid to keep wet corn George and Murray at Mount Albert put their wet corn Into pit silos with good results High capacity drying units are being used In greater numbers too Schtckedanz Bros at have a new one going this year which like several- others Is com pletely automated Soyabeans present the biggest challenge In stor age this year They just wont dry up in the field Oliver Bales at Newmarket and Ken Stevenson at are using organic acid on them But the really dominant Hem on the storage scene is the huge number of corn silage stacks I see this fall The pattern Is to cover with plastic and old tires and we should find out a kit about the stack system this much the better tion would be in an east
