Farmer look- ing weeds for identification Control is also Ic available for certain pere nnial i�l - 2 - ROADSIDE SEEDING i • •ti .z r About thirty -five miles of newly - graded and backsloped roads were seeded to a grass legume mixture Our standard mixture con - rp si.sts of Crested Wheat, Fescue and Alfalfa, but if a farmer wishes to use the road allowance for hay, Brome grass can be included at his request. ROADSIDE SPRAYING About four hundred miles of road was sprayed for brush and weed control Some roadsides in Division 2 were treated with Soil Sterilant to prevent the growth of grass This is a narrow strip approximately 12 ft wide on each shoulder Patches of Toadflax have been treated where found or reported on M D. roads LIVESTOCK INSECT CONTROL The Municipal District of Kneehill #48 became a Warble Con- trol Area with the passing of a by -law in September after having a petition circulated to determine the cattlemen's interest in the control of the "Warble -' which is one of the five named pests in .Alberta It is the farmers' responsibility to see that cattle are free of the Warble fly. If cattle were not treated in the fall, they should be inspected this spring and if Warbles are present they should be treated with either the systemics or Warble Powder (Rotenone) A spray service is provided at cost by your A S B. Approximately 3,000 head were sprayed for Lice or Warbles in 1971. SHELTERBELT SPRAYING Shelterbelt spraying was done on about twelve farms for the control of various insects, eg. spruce mites, spruce sawfly, aphids and others This service is provided at cost and on a request basis only PORTABLE LIVESTOCK SCALE This scale is available to livestock men on a daily rental basis of $5 00 per day The scale has assisted the R 0 P testing of beef cattle in the area MW SEPTIC TANK FORMS These are available to farmers for the construction of Septic tanks on a weekly rental basis. FERTILIZER TEST PLOTS A test plot was set out again on the farm of W Irving at Huxley on Rapeseed and Wheat. More work on Rapeseed is needed, but there is a good indication that Rapeseed responds well to appli- cations of nitrogen. TREE PLANTING r About 93,000 trees were planted in the Municipal District. Trees are provided without charge by the Department of Agri- culture and planted by the Municipal tree planter, tractor and crew. Trees must be ordered through the local Agricultural office prior to spring planting Grants are available to assist in the cultivation of field and roadside plantings for the first three years. P, - 3 - PEST CONTROL Four 1080 Baits were set out on locations where requests had been made to Council to control coyotes. One location is to be moved to serve another location later in the winter. These baits are only placed where requested and in locations where they are at least one mile from any inhabited buildings. All bait sites are in inaccessible areas and well over one mile away from any farmsite Roadside hedges provide very effective snow traps, which eliminate a large amount of snowplowing. LetQs get more living snow fences planted and save snowplowing dollars. Again this year .A S B personnel looked after Municipal Park, school yards and cemeteries. In conclusion, I would like to extend an invitation to dis- cuss your Agricultural problems and ideas with us, either in the office or whenever the opportunity presents itself. I would like to thank you, the ratepayers, the Municipal Council, Department of Agriculture and office staff for their help and co- operation over the years Respectfully Gordon L.
