That’s because there’s only one type of phospho- rus that’s usable by the plant — orthophosphorus. “It’s not in chains, there’s a single P atom per molecule,” Flaten said. It’s difficult to predict how quickly it will be released in other forms bound to the soil. Farmers are advised to con- tinue to fertilize since com- mon phosphorus fertilizers, such as 11-52-0, follow predict- able pathways. It first reacts very quickly with the soil cal- cium and magnesium, which is typically in ample supply in Manitoba, to form dical (dical- cium phosphate dihydrate) which is similar to mineral supplements fed to livestock. It later forms octacalcium, which we all carry around in our teeth and bones. Neither are read- ily plant available, but are still better than the next, and final, step in the transformation, when it becomes phosphate rock, Flaten said. “This is the form phosphate wants to be,” Flaten said. “It’s about as useful as gravel as a fertilizer.”

The McPhail Sawyer Massey thresher in 1919. The machine does not appear to be running as there is a man on top of the machine bent over doing something, perhaps oiling the bearing on a shaft. The spokes on the pulleys are visible which indicates the pulleys are not revolving. If the pulleys were revolving the spokes would not be visible. In addition, the man on top of the machine would have been foolish to get close to moving pulleys and belts as projecting keys and metal belt lacing possessed the terrible ability to catch clothing and pull the person into the machinery. While oiling the babbitt bearings in use at the time needed to be done on a very regular basis, long spouted oil cans allowed the operators to remain as far away as possible from revolving parts. All the same, in the Pioneer era, missing fingers and limbs were common as a result of farm machinery accidents. PHOTO: MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today, there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these I disappearing “Prairie sentinels.” The Manitoba Historical Society (MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Co-operator it is supply- ing these images of a grain elevator each week in hopes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has devel- oped a website to post your replies to a series of questions about eleva- tors. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. Your contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built — and dates when they were torn down (if applicable). There is room on the website to post personal recollections and stories related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba. Please contribute to This Old Grain Elevator website at: http://www. mhs.mb.ca/elevators. You will receive a response, by email or phone call, confirming that your submission was received.

BY TANISHA HEIBERG PRETORIA / Reuters

outh Africa’s agriculture minister said Feb. 6 the S country was taking meas- ures to determine the extent of damage from an invasion of the crop-eating fall army worm, and could not yet estimate the impact on farm output. This is the first time the pest has been detected in Africa’s biggest grain producer. It can cause extensive crop damage A newly arrived calf enjoys some mid-February sunshine and warmth near Waskada. photo: sharlene bennie and has a preference for maize, the regional staple. Countries with confirmed outbreaks can face import bans on their agricultural products because army worm is classi- fied as a quarantine pest. The fall army worm is an invasive Central American species that is harder to detect and eradicate than its African counterpart. Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Senzeni Zokwana said the fall army worm had been positively iden- tified from samples collected in the northern Limpopo province. He said the pest was a strong flyer and could be distributed by prevailing winds over large distances. “It is difficult in crop produc- tion to determine the scale of what you will harvest as that process is informed by a num- ber of other factors including the prevalence of rain... but of course the reason we want to react very quickly is to make sure we minimize the damage if it is possible,” he told a media conference. His ministry was registering pesticides for use against the fall army worm as “no pesticide was previously registered to be used against it,” he said. Two pesticides had been registered. Zokwana said South Africa would take part in an emer- gency meeting called by the Food and Agricultural Organization in Zimbabwe’s capital next week to shape a co- ordinated emergency response to the army worm threat in the Go ahead.

“It understood the farm sector T:10” supports the whole economy and that technology is very important to us,” Neilsen said. “It’s encouraging to see agricul- ture being highlighted as such a high-potential sector,” said Keith Kuhl, president of the Horticulture Council of Canada. “Government support in our sector goes a really long way.
