The Varna farmer explained
.that if there is a surplus of table
eggs caused by, the increased
imports, CEMA buys the eggs at
the fop table price and resells
them to industrial buyers at a
much reduced price.
"If they would bring in a
responSible quanti6, I•clon'tthink
• anyone would ,object," said Mr.
Hill. '"Irresponsible importing
will drive the farmers . to insist
that • all egg imports be done
through CEMA' and then the

The appearance of the Maitland Valley Conser-
vation Authority Watershed Map has changed,
drastically since 1951 when, the—Middle ,Maitland'
Conservation Authority was established. Three,
times during the intervening 25 years the boundaries
of the Authority have opened, lengthened, and
'closed around new municipalities and new areas.
This growth process haS recently resulted in a 150
sq. mile area being added to the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority. Ten miles of Lake. Huron
shoreline and the entire -Lucknow River watershed
were included irOhis major addition .:The map shows
th4 new shape 'of the 1,160 sq. mile AUthority area
and the location of the. Authority's 12 conservation
areas. The. ToWnships• of Ashfield and Culross and
the ToWn of Lucknow are the newest member
municipalities and :Jain the other 29 members in
participating in the numerous conservation ,programs
of the. Authority:

Gordon Hill of Varna, president
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture has strongly criticized
the federal government for its
recent doubling ofthe egg import
quota from the United States.
"This was done against the
recommendation of the Canadian
Egg Marketing Agency'',
charged Mr.
Mr. Hill said the logical way to
import eggs into Canada from the
,United States was 'through the.
agency. By folloWing importers to
bring the eggs in, Mr. Hill said
the consumer would not benefit
and the producer would suffer
Care advised
in samples
By Mike Miller
Associate Agr.Representative
Soil' samples submitted by
Huron County farmers the. past
two years are increasing in
number, as producers endeavour
to monitor their soil fertility or
establish the levels on a fairm they
have just purchased.
However, a small but growing
percentage appear to be,pioorly
done. I see indications of 6-10
quick samples being taken to
represent a Sato 100 acre field.
Such a soil test is of no value in
either monitoring'soil fertility or
making recommendations, for
with so few samples representing
as large and Varied an area as
what was an entire farm only a
few years ago,• there are bound to.
be vast differences in soil nutrient
levels.
To use such reports to monitor
changes in soil fertility is stupid
for the ,next set 'of quick samples
grabbed in 2-3 years may be of a
different area The grower will
then be wrongly 'convinced that
his past fertility program was the
cause of the sudden enrichment
or depletion of his soil. AS well, to
base the fertilizer requirements
on the results of such tests may
lead to gross tinder fertiliP:atibti
with subsequent lest yield or
gross over fertilization and loss of
money, depending on where
these few samples were grabbed.
Growers. should attempt to
follow the rule of I sample or
more/acre — on uniform level
fields. On fields of rolling land or
various soil types, each of the
different areas should be sampled
and Submitted separately:
