Start with the labeled Lasso® herbicide tank mix that fits your weed and carryover problems in corn... Lasso plus atrazine for broad- spectrum control in corn. Preemergence Lasso plus atrazine tank mix controls major grasses like crabgrasses, yellow and green foxtails, and more. Carryover possibility is minimized because Lasso alone doesn't carryover and you'll use less atrazine in the tank mix. Lasso plus Bladex' for specific weed control with no carryover. This preemergence tank also controls many labeled.weeds including crabgrasses, yellow and green foxtails.

' • The Junior Farmers' - Association of Ontario will continue to spotlight Century Farms. New signs honoring Century Farms (the farms that Save remained in the same family, for 100 years or more) are again being distributed around the province by the association. The Century Farm project first developed in the province during 1967. as a centennial program. And with over one half of the applications received to date indicating they had-a sign in 1967, evident.thaHhe new project 'has created a great deal of interest. The idea for the original project came from Prince Edward Island where similar, signs were used during that province's centennial in 1964. Because the Century Farm project focussed on Canada's centennial theme, it was well received by Ontario ignior Farmers. "When the project first started in 1966, our intention was only to distribute the signs to qualifying Ontario farms for the centennial celebrations'," states Carm Hamilton, secretary-treasurer of the Association. The Junior Farmers' organization thought that, after'a year's use, the signs would be taken dOwn. But the project proved so popular, the sittns remained on display, if only until rendered unreadahJe.by the action of highway salt and rust. n increasing number of legitimate requests for replacements of the centennial issues, as well as queries from farms that missed the .1967 project, sparked the idea to revise' the Century Farm project, elans began in mid-1974 to make the signs available under much the same rules that governed the project eight years earlier. The primary consideration is that a farm must have been owned by direct descendants of the same family for 100 years or more, as of the date of application. Mr. Hamilton further .mints out that this is usually considered to be a direct bloodline, either through a son or a daughter; however, it might be through a niece or nephew, as decided upon by the supervising committee within each county. In addition, the farm must have someone living on it, although that person doesn't necessarily have to be the owner, and it must 114) in active production as a farm. "All final decisions on the eligibility "of a -farm are fie responsibility of a supervising committee within each county or district. The county committee, with a Junior Farmer provincial director as chairman, judges each application on a local basis., taking into account any circum- stances that validate an application, he points out.

Dawson of the Mitchell Section and assisted by Harold Yeadon the class was examined bij Corp. Supt. Douglas Sinclair of Sebringville. All but three of a class of twenty-three turned up for the exam. The successful candidates will receive their certificates within the next few weeks. the Instructor told the class how much she had- enjoyed teaching such an enthusiastic group saying that she had found Seaforth classes very eager to learn First Aid. She asked the class to keep their book handy to read and to frame their certificate and' be proud of it. Harry Hak replied for the class compliment- ing both the Instructor and Demonstrator and said he was sure that the class had learned quite a bit about First Aid. The coarse was all too short and most etIoyable he said. Mr. Sinclair asked if there were any present who would be interested in a St. John Ambu- lance Section being formed in Seaforth. Several came forward and put down their names. A social tirne followed before' the class dispersed.

"The Junior Farmers' Association sees the project more as a community service. For example, Some groups also made" standards and name bars available in 1967 ad a county or district project." He further adds that 'such other material is strictly a local Junior Farmer's decision and that the provincial association provides only the sign. But considering the importance of agriculture to Ontario's development, application forms have been designed for applicants "to include information on the farm's ownership history. Plans have been made to file the list of recipients and any other pertinent data in the archives of the Ontario, Agricultural Museum. While the original program. lasted only the centennial year, the new project is expected to continue indefinitely. The satin coat steel signs, each 16 by 19 inches, are printed on both sides in the same design as the original ones, with the only exception being that the year "1967" has been removed. Two holes at the bottom of the sign enable farmers to attach a name bar, if they wish. The association provides signs to recognized recipient farms on a cost basis of $7 per sign. The Agricultural schools ask for rescue money Canada's 11 university faculties of agriculture and veterinary medicine say they are starved for public funds. Michael Shaw, dean of the University of British Columbia's faculty of agricultural sciences, said last week in a news release accompanying the statement that the situation is scandalous. The faculties have asked federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan for $2 million in "rescue money" to cover research programs that must be undertaken now, he said. In a ,,,,statement ,issued in co-operation with te Science Council of Canada, the faculties told the federal and provincial governments they urgently need more money to allow them to do their jobs properly. The registration fee for successful applicants is $25. A total of 360 young people are expected to take part, half of them Canadian and half foreign. Two sessions will be held, each lasting three weeks. For the first 17 days participants, in groups of 20 (10 Canadian and 10 foreign), will take part in a group program in one of nine regions in Canada. During the last four days of the program, the nine groups will meet in the National Capital area for a program which will highlight the bilingual nature of the country. The programs in each of the nine regions will focus on the social, cultural, political and 'economic realities of that particular region, and will be Smiles A new doctor had just examined his first patient. e could think of no diagnosis of the symptoms, so he asked, "Have you ever had this before?"

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communi- cations reminds motorists that many of the 2.5 million bicycles' in the province will be on the streets and highways now that spring has arrived. • Though it is one of the smallest vehicles on the road, a bicycle is a vehicle and entitled to be driven on a roadway -- with the exception, of course, of any multi-lane divided highway. Cyclists are also reminded they must obey many of the rules of the road that apply to motorists. "If m ore motorists and cyclists would simply follow the rules of the road, there would be a considerable reduction in the number of injuries and fatalities on the provincial road network", a spokesman for the Ministry indicated. During 1974, over 3,400 cyclists were injured as the result of collisions with motor vehicleS. During the same time 45 bicycle drivers were killed. Bicycles should be kept in good mechanical, condition; be the proper size for the rider; be equipped with a bell, horn or gong and have reflective material on the front and exposure to highway salts results Ontario Ministry of Agriculture in a more rapid deterioration of and Food.
