Page 12 crop Fr Crop conditions in the spring of 1982 can be described as hopeful. Soil moisture is mainly adequate for good germination except for an area in eastern Alberta, surrounding Vermilion. Progress to May 7th is minimal with seeding confined to an area south of Calgary with only a few farmers having com- pleted seeding operations. No seeding of any crop is reported in Alberta or north- eastern B.C., north of a line through Okotoks to Acadia Valley. Seeding intentions throughout the province reveal a con- sistent increase in both wheat and rape- seed/canola acreage. Barley acreage will be reduced in most Crop Districts. Oats acreage is not expected to change in western Alberta Districts. Seeding intentions for rapeseed/canola are higher than 1981. A preliminary estimate would be for an 8 per cent increase. The most important Dis- tricts from a rape- seed/canola supply standpoint will be the Peace River Crop District, where 508,000 acres will be seeded to rapeseed/canola. In the Crop District around Vegreville, rapeseed/canola acres will be 341,000; in the Crop. District of Stettler-Wainwright, rapeseed/canola will be sown on 250,000 acres; and in the Crop District of Vulcan- Alberta pool bursaries Now is the time to consider a bursary or a scholarship. The Alber- ta Wheat Pool awards a number of education- al bursaries annually to people desirous of con- tinuing their education. Four bursaries, valued at 600 each, are tenable at any university in Alberta or affiliated college for up to five years of under- graduate study. Applications should be made by July 15 to the Administrators of Students Awards at the respective univer- sity or college where the student wishes to attend. Four 4-H bursaries, valued at 300 each, are offered and tenable at any university in Alberta or affiliated college. Two awards are to be presented to two students register- ing in their first year university course, and two are awarded to two students entering their second year at univer- sity. Fourteen Henry Wise Wood bursaries, valued at 200 each, may be awarded annually; two at each of the seven colleges in Alberta. Four Ben Plumer bursaries are awarded each year: two each at the Northern and Southern Alberta In- stitutes of Technology. These are valued at 200 each and are available for first year students. More information on these bursaries may be obtained from the Manager of Extension, Alberta Wheat Pool, Box 2700, Calgary, T2P 2P5.

Traditionally farmers like to have most crops seeded by May 24th; this is still possible and the outlook is favorable. or 9 per cent above what they were a year ago. And. carryover stocks in the five major exporting countries are expected to be around 58.5 million tonnes or 17.5 per cent above their 1980-81 levels. World production during the new crop year is again expected to be large, while trade is expected to decline, which means that a further small buildup in stocks is likely to occur. e winter wheat undaunted by harsh - weather Despite an unusually harsh winter, fall-sown wheat generally: has come through with lit- tle winter damage. Spotty winter-kil in some districts resulted ds from seeding into a dry soil. Those seeds that did not germinate until after the October rains produced seedlings lacking sufficient winter hardiness. Weather data collect- Research Station show why winter wheat survived in good con- dition. When temperatures dipped to low levels without a snow cover, winter wheat was at its peak hardiness and the weather did not stay extreme for more than a few days. Later, when the winter wheat began to lose its har- diness, it was protec- ted by a good snow cover. In March and April, when the winter wheat was losing its cold hardiness, an excellent snow cover protected it from fluctuating air temperatures. Last winter s ex- perience shows the value of seeding fall crops into stubble, says Lethbridge Re- search Station agrono- mist Stan Freyman. Despite the wind and lack of precipitation, stubble trapped held the snow. Even plots of. cold-sensitive Nugaines survived where it was seeded into stubble. In other experiments, Freyman seeded two rows of crested wheat- grass in strips 15 meters apart. In the coldest weather the soil temperature was -6 C near the strips. and -14 C 10 meters away. These strips did not provide a uniform dis- tribution of snow, says Freyman. Stub- ble will do a better job of spreading snow evenly over a field. The Gazette cattlemen reject Canagrex Canagrex, the federal government s proposed crown corporation, was flatly rejected by the Alberta. Cattle Com- mission in Ottawa last week. The government was told Canagrex, which is to develop international agricultural trade, would be too powerful and a waste of tax . money. ACC vice-chairman Des Carney told a House of Commons Committee that Cana- grex would compete with the private sector if the legislation was not changed. Cana- grex, as proposed, would buy, process and and trade agricultural pro- ducts, The ACC joined meat processors, food expor- ting industries and fruit and vegetable processots in saying Canagrex should not have the power to own products. In addition, the ACC said if Canagrex did not have the power to own products it would only be doing work already done by agen- cies such as the Export Development Corpora- tion and the Canadian Commercial Corpora- tion.

At April 1, 1982 Statistics Canada re- ported as follows: 1) Canadian farms were down 3 per cent, led largely by the drop of 9 per cent in Quebec. 2) Breeding sow numbers were off 6 per cent in the East, 1 per cent in the West for a national drop of 5 per cent. '3) Market hogs weighing 130 pounds and up were down 4 per. cent. while the weight category 45 - 130 pounds recorded a 3 per cent drop and a 2 per cent decline was indicated for pigs weighing under 45 pounds. 4) Producers reported intentions to farrow 2 per cent fewer sows in this quarter, April - June, than a year ago and a similar drop was recorded for the July to September quarter. Trends in hog num- April 1st) saw a 4 per cent decline in the east, a 1 per cent decline in the west and a 8 per cent decline in Canada. .

Market pigs under 45 pounds, (as of April lst) saw a 4 per cent decline in the east, a 1 per cent increase in the west and a 2 per cent . decline in Canada Market pigs 45 - 130 pounds saw a 4 per cent decline in the east, a 2 per cent decline in the west and a 3 per cent decline in Canada. Market pigs 130 pounds and up saw a 4 per cent decline in the east, a 3 per cent decline in the west and a 4 per cent decline in Canada. Farrowing intentions from April - June 82 are a 4 per cent decline in the east, a 2 per cent increase in the west and a 2 per cent dec- line in Canada. To date this - year Canadian hog gradings have recorded a drop of about 2 per cent and : it app ars an ann decline may fall in this area, This would result r in 1982 gradings of: about 12.7 million head: : compared to 13.0 mil: : lion a year ago.
