When you take your snow ve- hicle on a road other than a priv- ate driVeway or lane', you must be 16 years of age and the holder of a valid driver's licence. • 3. If you operate your snowmo- bile on 'any road or highway other than a private drive or laneway you must carry insurance to cover your machine. 4. 1973 licence plates for snow- mobiles expired on October 31', 1973 and you must obtain your 1974 licence plates before operat- ing your machine. 5. ALL persons who operate snow yehicles on a road or highway on which they have a lawful right to be on, must remember that they are subject to 'being charged if they fail to obey the rules of the road.

If you find. drowsiness creeping up on you... pull Off the road ... get out and take 'a short walk in the fresh air. RemeMber drowsiness when • driving.ca n be deadly: H. SPRUCE, Provincial Constable,. Bruce Farm Report THE FERTILIZER SHORTAGE Fertilizer like many other farm items is in short supply. The reasons are many but some of the main ones are: 1. World demand has increased faster than the ability to produce nitrogen and phosphates. 2. Good crop prices have in- creased fertilizer demand. More acres are.being planted and more fertilizer being used. • 3. Although there is lots of pot- ash, thelv is a shortage of rail 'cars to' move it, as the same cars which carry potash also carry grain. The short supply means higher prices. You 'will probably pay 20'- 25% more for fertilizer , this year than you did last year. But more important than price is whether you will be able to meet your needs. There are certain things you cando to help yourself: . 1. Buy your fertilizer as soon as possible. You will probably enjoy a fall discount to offset storage costs. 2. Take soil test - it's not too' late yet. DOn't over fertilize. 3. Be prepared to 'make sub, stitutions and change your man- agement accordingly. For in stance anhydrous ammonia or urea or ammonium nitrate can be' substituted for each other on , corn. 4. Make good use of what man- ure you have. Unless you have no alternative, don't put manure on alfalfa or trefoil it is a waste of nitrogen: 5. Try to get a firm committ- ment from your supplier. This. year, your major concern with fertilizer should not be whether you can save a couple of dollars, but whether or not you can get what you need.
