that livestock mature may -be the
source of about 20 per cent of the
total phosphorus reaching
streams from agricultural acti-
activities, an amount which the
authors food surprisingly low, A
large 'part of the, remainder
appears to come from erosion of
land surfaces.
These observations result from
a study conducted in the depart-
ment of environmental biology,
University of Gttelph by Dennis
Draper and Prof. J. B. Robinson..
The study shows that impreved.
manure management and ap-
plication practices on Ontario
farms could significantly reduce
the amount of phosphorus
originating in manure that occurs
in annual run-off. '
The major sources are storm
andshow-melt run-off from open
feedrats and outdoor manure
storage, and the run-off from
manure spread too close to water

Pre-harvest sprouting, the

Brussels, and Morris and Grey
Township councils held a special
meeting in Brussels council
chambers Monday night to dis- h
uss their feelings on county a
wide residency system fr senior o
citizen's housing.
Reeve Cal Kreuter. old the t
other two councils that Brussels
council had been told by re-
presentatives of.the. Huron
County Housing Authity that or
Brussels was the only lace that p
hadn't expressed its willingness
to go with the county Sstem..
He told them that thiS year the
deficit-on-the—Senior Citizens,.
building was $6055.03.
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris
said, "I think it all boils down to.
do you want them to run it?"
Reeve Roy Williamson of Grey
said they were satisfied with the
way the Senior Citizen's Apart
ment building is operating now
and Reeve Elston said that Morris
was happy with the arrangement
too.
Councillor Toni Pletch said, "If
we stay the way we are, me still
have a fighting chance of getting
Brussels, Morris and Grey in."
Reeve Cal Kreuter said, "we'd
like to stay where we are but we
don't want to stay onpur own. We'
sure can't afford to run 'it on our
own. We're quite willing to run it
the way we are but we didn't want
to be left holding the bag."
Reeve Krauter asked the
councillors of the two townhsips if
they agreed that Brussels could
report to the County ,Housing
Authority that they intended to
stay the way they were and both
councils were agregable. ,
Councillor Ross Procter from
Morris said "Generally I favor
having control as close to the
plough handle as you can get it."
Brussels Councillor Malcolm .
Jacobs said, "I don't-see how you
could run it any better that. it is.
It's full: Everybody seems to be
happy with if,"
Brussels council also discussed,
with Grey the flooding on Burgess
Street-from-the-east to the west
side. Reeve Roy Williamson said
they would look at it and see what
could be done.
Morris and grey also agreed 'to
the updated •fire agreements that
assistant clerk ,Ruth Sauve had
typed out.
Brussels is going to cover fires
in Graham's Sury y and out to the
sales barn in Grey and will also be
covering build ngs in ap-
proximately the fi t mile and 4,
quarter north f Brussels:
Brussels is also going to supply
water for Grey Township when
they need it at no cost And one of
, the Brussels utility men will start
the pumps for Grey. All fire calls
in the Township will come into
Grey and then the Grey Fire
Department will es:intact Brussels,
Fire charges will -be, $150 for the
first hour and $ is an hour atter
that.
The majority of the phosphorus
*PIP livestock operations that
enters the Great' Lakes water
arises-- from-- -faulty
management, according to a
recent study at the University of
Guelph. .The study found that
over half the phosphorus
originating in manure came from
livestock operations that were
located within 400 feet of an open'
drainage channel. Another 20 per
cent of the load came from
spreading manure on frozen
ground.
The results
hope to make some joint headway
this summer in tackling the
problem.
Prof. Derera, who is spending a
period as a visiting professor in
crop science at the University of
Guelph. has brought with him
seeds from his breeding research
at' INIrrabri in Australia.
Australia's northern wheat
growing area has extensiVe
'summer rainfall, and so sprouting
has been- a, problem with white
wheats there, just as in Ontario,
- Since 1973-, Australian plant -
breeders have discovered. that, a
number of hereditary
characteristics, including seed
coat imposed dormancy, may
(depending on conditions) protect'
against sprouting damage,
Laboratory back-crossing
methods have successfully intro-
duced these characteristics into
previously susceptible varieties,
and it. is expected that 'Australia
will eventually be planting white
wheat resistant to pre-harvest
sprouting.

of the study show
Australian works to
combat wheat sprouting
courses in winter..
In order to improve the
situation around feedlots, the
installation of berms, "broad
grassed water ways, or retention
ponds with clean water-diversions
above the lots will be needed,
according to Mr. Draper.
Where winter spreading of
manure cannot "be avoided, it
Should be put on fields where an
area of perennial vegetation lies
between the stireaing area and
stream courses, the report states.
This' will ' greatly reduce- the
amount of phosphorus _that
reaches the stream.
Overland flow of run-off water
from barn yards and from field
"spreading reduces the
phosphorus load in proportion to
distance. This is• the reason that
feedlots: and winter spreading
operations should be kept as far
-.as possible from open ditches and
water courses.
The report also recommends_
further study of the problems
resulting from allowing cattle
access 'to streams dtiring
summer. Preliminary estimates
inch-ate that there is potential for
a substantial amount of
----.,;phosphoruS in steams arising
from this cause. In addition, the
practice increases stream bank
erosion, with the result that 7=-
significant amounts of sediment
and associated nutrients are
carried away. t
The cost effood marketing in Canada rose 47. per cent
between 1961 and 1971. Packoging, supermarket facilitir

the* price. Increased demand for convenience foods,
specially designed snack food's, and safeguards to health
and sanitation add to •processing costs. The farmer now
receives 30 cents on the food dollar compared to 42 cents in
1961.
