thursday may 22 1969 the tribune page 13 wshmbbw bees for rent most fruit and seed crop production depends on pollination because bees do not gather much nectar for making honey from orchard blossoms fruit growers must rent colonies of honeybees from beekeepers to perform the vital service of pollination this is done each year it usually takes one colony sometimes two per acre of producing fruit trees for best results the colonies are moved into the orchard just as the blossoms are beginning to open there are approximately 133 thousand colonies of bees in ontario with two thousand four hundred and forty beekeepers suggest farmers turn to soy beans a a wall with seeding delayed and a sad market for bar ley there is a lot of in- terest this spring in soy beans with barley selling for two cents a pound and oilmeal costing almost six growing the beans looks like an awfully good move for these who feed either beef or dairy cattle its a good move provid ing a person can handle the special problems that go with beans first its hard to get a thick even stand beans have to have a long con tinuous moisture supply to germinate and if the seed bed isnt just right too many seeds just never get going a crusted soil surface is hard on beans too unlike other grains the seed it self split itself into two cotyledon leaves has to push through the soil sur face to grow a clay soil often gets a crust on it that is too hard for many bean shoots weed control has to get special attention too soya beans are almost hopeless in competition with any kind of grass and they dont put up much of a fight against broadleaved weeds either the best treatment is trcflan and linuron in corporated before planting trcflan gets the annual grasses and iinuron the ragweed pigweed mus tard etc the variety to use al most depends on what is available altona portage and merit are all suitable for york county and har- dome although later has been alright here too seven inch rows have worked well in york four teen inches would be bet ter if there is a danger of crusting where soybeans are new on a field inocu lation of the seed is well worth the trouble a point too is that the seedbed should be as flat as possible any ridging left by disc harrows or the seed drill will prevent the combine from getting right down under the pods i know that all of these points make soybeans sound difficult the returns are enough higher how ever than oats or barley to at least consider them those who grew them last year are putting in bigger acreages this year twelve cows qualify for production award twelve
