coming up. Certain firms will

be mentioned. It's a simple
rule. Once we get to know

Mr. Welch replied :there
were a number of options
open to the government. but
that the commitment to
reduce the rates stand.
When the decision to take
further steps has been
reached, it will be announc-
ed.
It was also announced in
the Legislature this week
that the Ku Klux Klan is
operating a paramilitary
training centre on a farm
near Luau', where about 40
to 50 people • ire .receiving
weapons training.
It was said this operation
has been going on for at
least a couple of months. The
Attorney General, Roy Mc-
Murtry said that he too has
heard rumors- but the OPP
have so far "been unable to
detect any hard, evidence to
support the rumors". He
said they were watching it
dosely.
The question of police

He said the provincial
government is stalling un-
necessarily on a provision to
this effect.
The provincial secretary
for social development,
Margaret Birch, announced
in the Legislature a program
to provide funds for com-
munity-based youth employ-
ment cotinsellifig services.
Over the next 'five years,
$15 million will be spent' to
support the initiative.
The program will provide
matching dollars to comritun-
ky organizations which offer
exmployment counselling,
placement in jobs or training
p'ograms and follow-up as-
sistance to out-of-school
youth.
Provincial grants to local
groups may amount to as.
much as 560,000 in any one
year. - The Ontario Youth
Secretariat will administer
the program. •
The first year corn fields
will have better soil structure
- crusting over should not be
as serious. The first year
fields will probably also' have
a twitch grass problem - the
early planting will give you a
better crack at killing the
twitch grass.
The fields that have..had
several years of corn will
probably have poorer soil
structure. If you plant early
and the crop dOesn't emerge
too quickly, you may find the
soil will form a crust. The.
cr ust will-he. an added-stress
,that could reduce your crop
population or create more
irregularity in the,crop devel-
opment., The later planting
on these fields may also aid
yoUr rootworm 'control. The
rootworm 'larvae start to•feed
about mid-June. Later plant-
ing will mean the insecticide
that you apply will have
more potency when the
larvae start their feeding.
This maybe one of the tee
years when you have an
option of planting early or
late. Keep in mind both the
problems and management
opportunities that accom-
pany your decision.

He says "the same ap-

Danco cioesn't pull punch-
