AGRICULTURAL SERVICE BOARD MEETING
TUESDAY EVENING, 4VMffff-14, 1974 P 1
MAY
Over two months have passed since we held our last A.S.B.
meeting and while it doesn't appear that too much has been
accomplished, we have been quite busy. Meetings have taken
up a good portion of our time
Glenn and I attended the Horticultural Course at Brooks
on March 5 and 6 and found it very informative We felt
that this course was very worthwhile.
On Monday, March 11, I attended a meeting at Elnora with
Reg Campbell I felt that this was a good meeting even though
our time was limited. It did give me the opportunity to go
back to another meeting on April 8 On this date I was
able to show a number of slides on weeds and discuss some
problems While Elnora is out of our area, I felt that it
was good in that it included farmers from our area. I feel
that it is good to get out in some of these fringe areas.
There was a Fieldman's meeting at Strathmore on March 21,
of the Fieldmen in Region 2 It was a general discussion type
of meeting which was quite informative and included some
points that were to be discussed at our A.A.A.F. Association
Directors meeting that was held in Edmonton on April 22 I am
not sure if you are aware that I was elected Director for
Region 2 at the Provincial Conference. I attended the meeting
in Edmonton in this capacity.
Some very interesting points were discussed and dealt
with at the Directors meeting in Edmonton A new program
on insurance was discussed that may replace the livestock
disaster program that we presently have i s were made to
hold the 1975 Provincial Conference at Lethoridge Hearings
will be held later this fall on pesticides and the environment
Predator control was discussed along with other points of
concern and interest
Glenn spent the week of March 18 to 22 inclusive at
Olds taking the Pesticide Applicators Course He was success-
ful in completing it and he should have his license shortly.
I only spent one day at Olds, the following week
We had quite a good turnout to our Wild Oat meeting in
Three Hills on April 4 and a good turnout at a Wild Oat
meeting arranged by Findlay Code, at Hesketh on April 11
There were 35 farmers at the Three Hills meeting and 15 at
the Hesketh meeting.
We arranged and held two afternoon and evening meetings
on horticulture at Acme and Wimborne We also held an
evening meeting on horticulture and an afternoon on practical
pruning in Three Hills These meetings were all held from
March 24 to 26 inclusive We had instructors in from
Edmonton and Brooks The people attending appeared to feel
that they were worthwhile.

;uson invited Russ and I to present some information
;ting that he held at Mount Olive School. We felt
.s was a good meeting and an excellent opportunity to
ie of the people in the area
Th 1080 bait has all be picked up and disposed of We
only fond three dead coyotes but I assume that it was more
affecti e than that. The majority of the sets were eaten with
the exc ption of the one at Torrington This one had not
been touched The setting of 1080 baits will probably be
included in the hearings presented this fall. I feel that
It would be unfortunate to lose this control in favor of
strychnine or cyanide
We have spent considerable time on the roadside sprayer
truck. There has been considerable confusion with lack of
communication and having four different groups working on
the outfit at the same time. Oliver Industries, Calgary,
installed the hydraulics and sprayer motor, the Olds School
of Agri ulture built the boom carrier, Kirk's built the
tank and our own shop built the cradle for the tank and the
deck. he deck is almost completed now and we have some
plumbing to do and the painting inside the tank and the deck
I would have been much more happy with the outfit had we
been able to work on one phase at a time. There are some
points that I would have liked different but they are not
all tha bad the way they are. We have had a real problem
getting some pieces such as regulator valves and tips. We
plan on doing the painting ourselves.
We had a number of cancellations on our tree orders to
Oliver We attempted to fill these from Indian Head and while
we are waiting for 190 bundles from Indian Head, we are still
going to be short some trees, especially poplar. We will
be staring planting as soon as the weather permits.
We have close to 300 gallons of Dimethoate on hand for
control of grasshoppers It is anyone's guess what amount
would be a proper amount to start the year out with We
expect a heavy infestation of grasshoppers from Three Hills
south, specially in the Carbon area However, should the
grasshopers be hatching now, this damp weather could be
quite b neficia.l to us in controlling them
We have 135 gallons of 2 4-D Amine on hand and we have
ordered an additional 250 gallons This should be nearly
enough o do the spraying that we have planned We will have
to orde7 more Tordon 22K for patch spraying.
We have weighed some calves this year but the scale has
been re ted out with the farmer picking it up and doing his
own wei hing mostly
Glenn h s sprayed a number of head of cattle for lice and
warbles Not as many as we had anticipated, but I expect
that we will be getting many more calls.

We have the new disc for roadside seeding. It looks
good but we have not had an opportunity to use it yet.
We have also received the pressurized hand sprayer It
looks good and it should come in real handy.
We have received all of the slides for the Wild Oat Kits
The slides and information for these kits came at various times
and we riust have spent close to a week getting these set up
and the we only used them twice.
E1 on Kober started work the last three days in April
and took last week off for personal reasons He is back
again now I expect that Watson Reed will be coming back
around the 1st of June.
Neither Glenn nor I have taken any holidays I had
tried to take some time off through Easter but it seemed that
there was always something coming up to slow this down. I
believe that Glenn is planning on taking his holidays this
coming winter and I am not sure when I will be able to work
mine in.
