on the business of farming on it and adjoining properties wheat marketing board explains 67 rebate delay by al wall a carryover of one mil lion bushels of 1966 crop surplus ontario winter heat coupled with a very weak demand for wheats of all kind in world mar kets has resulted in a de lay in the rebate normally sent to ontario producers at this time of year the ontario wheat pro- muccrs marketing board announced today that it anticipates a rebate on the 1966 crop of wheat but that this rebate cannot be calculated until that years shocks of wheat have been sold the announcement was made following a board meeting held in toronto august 31 of the 2837000 bushels of surplus 1966 crop wheat purchased by the market ing board 1 million bush els of it has not been sold this condition is not nor mal for the ontario board as it has always been pos sible in the past to clear out all current years stocks of wheal by the crop year end june 30th this year the board has been hard pressed to find overseas buyers interest for ontarios type of wlteat of the soft while winter variety used main ly for cake and pastry flour has been extremely slow on export markets about the only signifi cant sales made out of lat years surplus owned hv the board involved a total of 771000 bushels shipped to pakistan and turkey last october under federal food aid progams funds tied up i asl year producers paid into the board a 17c per bushel stabilization fund deduction on every bushel of wheat sold by them these funds arc used to move surplus wheat into export markets at the present time the funds arc tied up in the surplus un sold slocks of wheat and it is for this reason that mr k a standing secret arymanager of the ont ario wheat producers jtarkeling roard stated nn disposition of the re bate money can be made until the carryover stocks of last jeari wheat are j sold the board of directors in session issued instruc tions that as soon as the carryover stocks are sold that the amount of rebate be calculated and that cheques be sent to growers as soon as possible in addition to last years carryover wheat the ont ario wheat board has pur chased about two and a half million bushels of 1967 crop wheat and this is now in store in country elevators and in terminals one of the major obsta cles mr standing said is ihat ontario wheat cannot compete with other feed grains moving into east ern canada unless freight assistance is made avail able on ontario wheal on a similar basis as ihat paid on western feed grain moving into eastern mark ets the board has made ini tial studies of the eastern feed market situation in- i eluding requests to the re cently established eastern canada livestock feed j board for serious consld- j cration of feed freight as sistance the board official point ed out thai ibis is the first year in which the board has faced a large carry over and it will probably mean a very serious re assessment of the boards marketing procedures in the future weeds have had a won derful chance to get ahead this year regular spray ing couldnt be done and they thrived on a good supply of moisture fall cultivation will be limited and it doesnt work too well anyway in moist soils quack grass is probably the most serious weed it can be killed with chemi cals at this time of year but its hard to get the con ditions just right quack grass must be green and growing with tempera tures still fairly warm this way amitrol cytrol or dalapon will kill both ions and roots reliably they wont work on dry quack stubble though and chances arent good either if spraying cant be done until very late in the fall if good growth keeps up its quite likely that we will have a good chance to spray even spot treatment can slop patches from spreading and keep fields in production many other biennials or perennials could be killed this fall too 24d at high rates or even brushkill could be used safely to clean up thistles bindweed wild carrot goldenrod burdocks and black medic

going again an analysis like 52020 at even a low rate might save enough plants to make a stand it is a good question now whether to cut second crop hay or not legumes should really be let grow in

finished it is lime to think about next years crop advise horti culturists with the ontario department of agriculture and food since canes die after fruiting they should be re moved cut them off close to the ground most old canes will be diseased to some degree and will act as a source of infection for the new canes for this reason it is better to re move them now rather than leaving them till next spring dont leave them in the rows remove and burn them do not cultivate the rows late cultivation sti mulates late growth resul ting in immaturity of canes and increases danger of winterkill it is important to prevent late soft growth which will winterkill to help harden off the canes sow a cover crop shortly after harvest this cover crop competes with the canes for water and nutrients with the re sult that the canes malure earlier and are less subject to winter injury oats nr barley make a good cover crop as they are killed during the winter and can be easily worked into the soil next year

the himalaya iiountains northeast asia and japan theyre one of our beautiful decorative and useful flowering shrubs they thrive in our southern ontario climate best proof of this is to be found around many an abandoned farm houses where the common or pers ian lilacs continue to bloom well each year without care on anyones part the best planting time for lilacs is in the fall in southern ontario in the spring unless the planting is done early drying winds easily kill the young shoots october is the best time for planting when the weather is cool and the soil is still moist and warm there are many uses for lilacs in the modern garden one or two can be set out around the patio or livingout area where delightful bloom and fragrance will be yours as you relax in late may or early june the common persian lilac makes an excellent quick growing screen for the garden it would be a much better idea to plant lilac for this purpose than chinese elms which quickly overrun any part of the garden lilacs are also fine for use as tall shrubs the back of the mixed or shrub border and for the larger founda tion planting these free flowering shrubs will only flourish and bloom well in the garden if theyre given a location in full sun cut down on the amount of sun and you dras tically limit the amount of flowers produced any garden soil ihat grows vegetables well is the right kind for lilac it should contain plenty of humus and be well drained lilacs set out in poorly drained soils usually die two or three cars after planting one of the most frequent icasons for lilacs failing to flower or produce top quality blooms is too deep or too shal low planting they should be set so that the bush will be 3 inches lower in the soil than what they were orig inally planted in the nursery this is easily recognizable by a distinct mark on the bark but if youre not certain be sure to ask the nurseryman or garden center oper ator to point this out to you at the time you buy the lilac youll need to dig a larger than average planting hole for lilacs make it 2 feet deep and 3 feet square and discard the earth removed loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole and then add a 10 layer of humus com posted cattle manures discarded mushroom manuc and malerial from the home compost heap are excel lent forms of humus for this purpose do not use peat moss as a source of humus because it tends to make the soil acid a condition which lilacs do not like on top of the humus add enough lop soil mixture so that the lilac plant will be three inches lower than the orignal planting in the nursery just before placing the lilac in the planting hole prune away any broken or dried out roots spread the roots out to all sides of the hole and then add three or four inches of top soil mixture an ideal one for lilacs consists of two parts top soil and one part humus to the amount of soil re quired for planting each lilac add one quart of agri cultural limestone available from any nursery or gard en store firm the soil mixture around the roots by tamping with end of a spade or shovel or by tramping firmly but lightly with the feel next fill the planting hole with water and let this drain completely away before filling the remainder of the hole this is further insurance thai the air pockels around the roots will be eliminated and the earth will completely settle around ihem once all the water has drained away keep adding soil mixtura three or four inches at a time and firming it until th hole is completely filled a r buckley of the plant research institute of the canada department of agricuiiure at ottawa tells me that over forty years ago dr w t macoun of the central experimental farm launched a lilac breeding program this project was carried out by the late miss isabella preston and eventually resulted n the now famous preston group miss preston was able to extend the flowering season of these beautiful plants and also was able to develop new varieties having quite distinctive colouring and blooms ihat gave a cas cade effect as they hung from the graceful bushy plants the preston lilacs are not necessarily better than the french hybrids as far as the individual blooms are concerned however they do supplement these with their pinkish tones and flowers that arc cither earlier or later than the french hybrids if your nurseryman does nut nac tiicrn in stociv al ready ask him to get the following varieties eleanor pink coral pink donald wyman rose red hiawatha lilac rose nocturne lilac blue rcdwine wine red royalty violet purple fountain with cascades of light pink bloom these represent aboul the best of the hybrids and were originated by miss prcslon dr skinner of drop- more manitoba and hybridizers at ihc morden experi mental station
