consider methods of handling corn residue dr j w ketcheson de partment of soil science ontario agricultural col lege university of guelph has some suggestions corn residues left in the field after the crop is picked may be plowed down stalks disposed of in this way will decompose and add substantially to the organic content of the soil breaking up the resi due by disking is effective in providing a surface mulch where plowing is not desired notillage planting can be achieved between the rows of last years crop without any other tillage minimum tillage of this kind may present some problems if the nutrient level of the soil is low or ganic matter and fertilizer nutrients cannot penetrate the soil easily when it is not plowed this type of planting is advisable only when the nutrient level is comparatively high surface residue may present some problems with insects and disease although modern hybrids are highly resistant to most diseases should a buildup of these organisms occur farmers are strongly ad vised to consult their agri cultural representative or fieldman to determine if a change in management is required turning cattle out is a good method of breaking up the reidue gold

and storiesof the past handed down to us from those who have passed on therefore it wasnt just by chance that we found ourselves driving north on the ninth concession toward musslemans lake on a sunny day in late september our first link with the past was a view of the old brick house just south of the lake it was built by great grandparents the bricks were made from the clay in a nearby field north of the lake a small flock of bluebirds flew and landed on tele phone wires while a marsh hawk flew back and forth over a field of grain in search of mice we turned west toward the ballantrae school and as we approached two stories so often told came to mind the first con cerned a circle of trees in the school yard the sec ond a small baking pow der tin containing verses yritten by the pupils and hidden in a partition when the old log school was replaced while betty took a pic ture of the present attrac tive school from the road side i hurried around to the rear to see if the ring of trees had been spared the axe i wasnt disap pointed they were there township of oxbridge planning board notice of public meeting to be held in uxbridge township hall goodwood ontario on monday

farm a ring of trees planted by a circle of friends form a link with the past betty pegg waving their leaves proud ly in the breeze more than eighty years have passed since the school childrens tree planting took place the choice of maples was made a good one then came the question of where to put them after some consultation it was agreed that the trees would be planted in a circle in the centre of the school yard one of the little girls who helped with the planting was my mother we noticed that the grass beneath the trees was worn away and some large hearts had been drawn in the sand indicat ing that the spot remains a very popular one today the little baking pow der tin also had a happy ending it was discovered by carpenters who were working on the school some time ago although the verses and signatures were written in pencil thev are still discernable and are a proud posses sion of mrs rodd apple by whitby ontario fvvwvwv milk quota price increase a a wall agricultural representa tive for york county newmarket the election of a director from this area for the on tario milk marketing board has advanced another step results of voting for the election committees in each county are announced in york the five man committee is bill bales newmarket carl boynton nobleton ernie crossland newmarket francis redel- meier richmond hill and russel rowntree wood- bridge these men will meet with similar committees from dufferin halton peel and simcoe to elect a director to the ontario board for region 6 this meeting will be at alliston november 26 there has been a lot of interest this fall in the price of fluid quota those who bought or sold last fall at around four or five dol lars a pound look at re cent prices of eight or ten dollars with different re actions the average price of quota in october was 850 this price seems high but i supose its a fairly ac curate indicator of the gen eral desire to get bigger or get into the fluid milk business it is unfortunate that this adds production costs for those buying quota but on the positive side putting quotas on the open market has made it pos sible for many york county producers to quit the business and still be repaid for their quota that took many years to build with quotas on the mar ket a dairyman can also plan for the f with more confidence than he could under the old system he now knows that he can expand when he wants to at a price of course he also knows that he can get out of dairying if he wants to without selling his farm or sacrificing his quota the provision for the transfer of quotas under the marketing plan are to me a long way ahead of the old system of vague ness and uncertainty deadline for display adver tising is 5 pm mondays york county federation of agriculture
