A collage of regional quips and punditry covers a Winnipeg bank robbery sentencing, political barbs about Trudeau and Thatcher, university protests, RCMP bug hunts, and a Manitoba hatchery report. It riffs on names, places, and current events with a satirical tone.
In Brandon Manitoba tests at the CDA Research Station researcher R D Dryden reports Trillate Avadex BW harrowed into stubble or incorporated after seeding reduced wild oats by 80 to 98 percent and raised wheat yields by 26 to 30 percent at rates of 1.0 1.5 and 2.0 pounds per acre. Fall and spring applications gave similar results with fall slight yield edge. Untreated plots averaged 18 bushels per acre.
The Manitoba department of mines and natural resources fish hatchery at West Hawk Lake increased production by 150 percent after a new water line was added.
Livestock producers should consider trace mineralized salt in feeding operations says Cam Brown provincial animal nutritionist at The University of Manitoba. Trace minerals like copper iron and cobalt support healthy productive animals especially dairy cattle beef cattle and sheep. Mineralized salt is available loose or in blocks. A major salt maker offers trace mineralized salt with organic iodide to help control foot rot.
Mr Brown says a complete mineral mix is easy to formulate on the farm. The best blends use 100 lb trace mineralized salt with either 100 lb dicalcium phosphate or rock phosphate or bone meal. Free choice feeding is economical for most livestock classes. Trace-mineralized salt isn’t essential if minerals are already in the feed mix. Feed mills stock or plan to stock traces mineralized salt, costing $2.25 to $2.50 per hundredweight.
Officials announce 1968 fishing licences go on sale April 1 with opening day May 18 south of the 53rd parallel and May 25 north of it. The daily limit rises to ten brook rainbow and splake trout where waters are designated for trout, reflecting expanded stocking and no closed season in these waters.
An article urges equal access to a fish resource with one rod per angler and condemns illegal multi line and snagging practices. It stresses every person aged 16 or older must hold a valid angling license, warning that fishing trips end abruptly without one.
Intermediate wheatgrass shows yield advantages over brome when grown with alfalfa for hay or pasture in Manitoba. Barnabe notes 10 to 20 percent higher yields, easier feeding, quicker establishment, and resilience to grazing. It stays green late, adds soil fibre, and the Chief variety offers winter hardiness with good forage and seed yields.
