THE KINGSTON ENTERPRISE

Engagement Announced

Mr. and Mrs. James Flemming, Decker, wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Judith Marie, to Terry Hudson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Basil Hudson, Marlette.

Both Judy and Terry are 1965 graduates of Marlette High School.

SPORTS First Game Friday

The Kingston Cardinals will kick off the 1967 football season Friday night with a non-league contest against Carsonville at 8:00 p.m. at the high school athletic field.

The Cardinals who will be trying to better a 1-6-1 record, will sorely miss all-starters Lonnie Bewernitz and Randy Lyons, who along with Jim Parrot made up the three fourths of the 1966 backfield and linemen Allen Nickens, Gene Tait, Don Roberson, and Rod Kramer.

The Cardinals, while relatively experienced in the line are faced with the problems of rebuilding the backfield with only senior Paul Miller returning.

Miller, who has been switched from quarterback to tailback, will team with senior wingback Larry Barrons, and either sophomore Dan Packey or junior Bill Sherwood at fullback, and sophomore Dale Allen or senior Ronnie Barrons at quarterback. The line is pretty well set with junior Bob Miller at center, seniors Brett McLaughlin, and Gerald Harneck at guard. Wayne Boyl and Wayne Moore at the tackles, Gary Simmons at tight end and junior Dan Lafond at split end.

Other boys who should see action are, guards Bill Everett and Bob Diegel, tackles Grant Gettel and Fred Peter, freshman back Dave Lalko and end Ed Bilicki.

Harvest Corn Silage Early

Early harvest of corn silage may make beef feeder more money than any other recommended practice according to Alfred Ballweg, county agricultural agent in Tuscola County.

The results of recent Michigan State University research showed the cattle feeder could lose in many ways be delaying from mid-September until mid-October or even mid-November his corn silage making.

Dry matter yield of mid-October silage compared with mid-September was 15 per cent less and delaying harvest into November cut as much as 21 per cent off the value of the feed.

In addition, the agent points out, farmers lost as much as 10 to 20 per cent of the valuable crop in the field by extremely late harvest. And the dry, fluffy silage did not pack in the silo, and it took more space for storage of even less feed value.

Get ready with equipment and other work and the minute the corn is ready for silage, go after it.

Crop Depends on Seed Selection

Good quality seed of the center variety, high in germination test and treated against disease, is the key to a good wheat crop.

Alfred Ballweg, agricultural agent in Tuscola County, says extra bushels of harvest next summer can result from extra time and money spent at planting time.

Michigan grows soft winter wheat – except in parts of the Upper Peninsula. This wheat goes into pastry flour used in crackers, cookies, cakes, and products such as breakfast foods.

About 85 per cent of Michigan’s nearly 1,000 acres of wheat is soft white wheat. Genesee and Avon are the recommended white varieties. Both yield high and are suited to Michigan conditions. In over-state trials at six locations, Genesee averaged 54.6 bushels an acre and Avon 52.6 bushels.

Monon is the red wheat most highly recommended by Michigan State University test results. The over-state yield average has been 51.3 bushels.

Here are seed qualities the agricultural agent thinks farmers should get.

(1) 90 per cent germination: (2) free from weed seeds, especially cockle, chess and wild onion; (3) free from other crop seeds like rye or barley and (4) pure as to variety.

"Certified seed is the only seed which consistently meets these standards", the agent advises, adding that he can provide a list of sources.

Seed should be treated with a fungicide to control seeding diseases and bunt (stinking) smut. This is essential in Michigan because of the weather conditions.

An Extension bulletin (518) "Controlling Seed – Borne Diseases" covers this subject and is available from the county Extension office.
