The Old Mill started as a tiny business to promote wool and leather products in 1960 and has grown and expanded so that our present
location is no longer adequate for our production and selling needs. The Old Mill is moving, along with Atlas Fur Tanning & Dyeing Ltd.,
May 31, 1971, to a new location on top of a hill about two miles south of Blyth on Highway 4. We will be able to provide more adequate
displqy areas and many other facilities for our customers including lots of parking space. We will also be able to provide you with more of
our own products. Look for our new location sign on top of the hill two miles south of Blyth on Highway 4. We are looking forward to

Farmers have long been
frustrated in their attempts to
feed phosphorus to crops
because soil ties up this element
in unusable forms.
But now it .appears that this
feature of soil-phosphorus
interaction can be a bonus in our
attempts to control water-
pollution.
Phosphorus is one of the
nutrients involved in promoting
plant growth in water.
The International Joint
Commission is persuaded that,
by reducing the amount of
phosphates (compounds
containing phosphorus) entering
our streams, rivers and lakes, we
can reduce pollution. This is the
reason for the federal
government's move to reduce
the amounts of phosphates in
laundry detergents.
Dr. A. J. MacLean of the
Canada Agriculture Soil
Research Institute at Ottawa
says that, with the focus on
phosphorus as the controllable
element, it will be necessary to
consider not only detergents,
but other sources including
sewage and erosion from urban
and farm lands. When minor
contributors are added up, the
total could be significant.
Dr. MacLean's search of the
scientific literature indicates that
soil is extremely effective in
"fixing" or tying up phosphorus.
In fact, one type of New
Brunswick soil can tie up 88
tons of 20 per cent
superphosphate fertilizer per
acre - and that's only in the top
six inches of the soil.
Scientists have demonstrated
that there is a balance between
the amount of phosphorus in
solution and the amount tied to
soil particles.
As the supply of • phosphorus
in solution is depleted, it is
replenished from the supplies
clinging to soil.
Only trace amounts of
phosphorus will leach out (wash
away) to lower levels of soil,
Water samples taken at the
mouth of tiles draining fields
indicate that very little
phosphorus leaves farm fields,
Phosphorus does, however,
enter streams and rivers when
there is soil erosion. In some
cases, soil erosion can move
considerable amounts of
phosphorus into waterways.
"But soil erosion is not
strictly a farm problem," says
Dr, MacLean. "In fact, new
construction sites, unprotected
roadsides and streambanks can
be Serious sources of soil
erosion."
Most of the phosphorus will
remain "fixed" to the soil, but
program a. year ago but today
still had pray 5,000 memliers
across Ontario.
Huron, he Said, is better off
than some counties' in the ISM
program because it has sold
enough memberships to send
two representatives to the OFA
annual convention in Toronto
from November 30 to December
2 (each delegate represents 250
ISMs).
The division line for the two
regions in Huron is the county
Road running from Dunlop
through Blyth and Walton.
President John Stafford of
Wroxeter and Mason Bailey of
Blyth reported on their meeting
with Huron County Council over
the CFA's plea for reform of the
school tax system. Mr. Stafford
said he felt some of the
councillors were sympathetic to
their cause while others were
not. He felt many were torn
between their own feelings and
their responsibility as municipal
officials.
It was also reported that the
Huron Federation's new
constitution will be dealt with at
next month's meeting so that it
may be in effect for the annual
meeting on December 9.
as the amount of phosphorus in
solution is depleted, the soil will
release additional phosphorus.
As eroded soil is carried away,
sand tends to be left behind and
clay and silt accumulate in lakes.
Many different things could
happen to phosphorus entering
our lakes, depending on factors
such as changes in the water
itself and in the mixture of other
ingredients it is carrying.
The sediments tend to • be
enriched in organic matter and
total phosphorus as compared
with watershed soils. In
addition, phosphorus
compounds may change from
aluminum and iron phosphates to
calcium phosphates.
Phosphorus can also be
released from sediments which
have settled to the bottom of
rivers and lakes.
"Again, the amount will
depend on the equilibrium
between the phosphorus in
solution "'and in 'fixed' form,"
says Dr. MacLean.
"When the concentration in
solution is low, phosphorus will
tend to be released from the
sediments and when it is high,
phosphorus will tend to be
adsorbed by the sediments.
"The release or adsorption of
phosphorus will depend on the
properties of the sediment and
of the lake water.
"One researcher says that,
when lake conditions favor
Oxidation, sediments will take
up phosphorus; but, when
anaerobic conditions develop at
the place where water and
sediment meet, phosphorus will
be released, -
"Another researcher says that
sediment near the edge of a lake
is quite different from sediment
near the center. At the center,
the lake was enriched in clay and
total phosphorus.
"And he found there was
more calcium phosphate in
shallow water than in deep
water, The amount of organic
phosphorus didn't change with
depth. •
"Phosphorus is one of the
major essential elements in
adequate supply in most
agricultural soils. For this
reason, and to meet apiculturel
requirements, there has been
considerable research on the
reactions of phosphorus in soils
and its release to plants.
"This knowledge now finds its
application in certain aspects of
the pollution problem," says Dr.
MacLean. "But more questions
than answers remain on the
contribution of phosphorus
relative to other factors that
promote growth of aquatic
plants and pollution of waters.'

This turtle is named for the
markings on its shell which are
similar to the lines on a contour
map.
The female is much larger
than the weaker and more timid
male. An adult female's carapace
may exceed 10 inches in length,
while the male's may be little
more than five and a half inches.
The carapace is low, with a
single longitudinal keel down the
centre. The rear edge is roughly
serrated. The yellow or green
map-like markings on the olive
or brown carapace are quite
vivid in young specimens but
may be obscure in older ones.
The plastron is usually plain but
where the plates join there may
be some yellow, gray or brown
coloration.
The head, neck and limbs are'
a dark, olive green with
longitudinal yellow lines. A
yellow spot, somewhat in the
shape of a triangle is behind each
eye. The head, "especially that of
the female, is large. The flat,
broad-jaws are very strong and
are equipped with sharp cutting
edges. The feet are broadly
webbed; the tail is quite short.
The map turtle is extremely
aquatic and inhabits large bodies
of water such as lakes and rivers.
It is fond of basking in the sun
but always selects rocks or logs
where it can see danger easily
and can drop immediately into
the water at the least sign of it.
Any unaccustomed movement
or sound, even several hundred
feet away, will cause this turtle
to disappear. It is alert,
difficult to approach, and
fortunately for the survival of
the species, even more difficult
to capture.
These turtles often ,do their
sunbathing piled one on top of
another, forming several layers.
If one becomes frightened, all
topple into the water. The map
turtle is so wary that the sound
of even, one individual splashing
into the water is a signal to all
others within sight or earshot, to
do likewise. When the turtles
finally surface, they are often a
good distance from where they
first hit the water.
The map turtle feeds with the
head submerged, chiefly on
crustaceans and aquatic plants.
It relishes snails, crayfish and
clams. The adult is more inclined
to be herbivorous, but the young
feed on all kinds of aquatic
animals including larval insects
and worms. This species usually
does not make a good pet,
perhaps because of its nervous
disposition and rather
specialized diet of mollusks.
The map turtle lays its eggs in
June. They hatch in late August
or early September, or in the
case of late laying, hatching may
be postponed until the following
spring, There are usually 10 to
16 eggs in a clutch, but as many
as 20 have been recorded. They
are white, elliptical in shape, and
have a soft, flexible shell. They
are Often laid at a considerable
distance from the water in a
flask-shaped hole. The eggs are
deposited in the hole in two
layers and are covered with
earth.

the marketing broiler
.chickens in Ontario, including
the .eviscerated product
originating outside the province.
This .action. was necessary
because of the chaotic condition

In making the announcement,

not only for producers but for
the industry as a whole. At the
same time, the program will
assure adequate supplies of
broiler chickens for all Ontario
markets.
Sales of eviscerated and

chickens produced outside of
Ontario will require a marketing

The Huron County
Federation of Agriculture set its
annual meeting date as it met in
Central Huron.Secondary School
On Thursday, October 1.
The group voted to hold this
year's meeting at CJ-LS.S. at 8
p.m. and has asked Federal
Agricultural Minister Bud Olson
to be guest speaker. He has not
yet answered the invitation.
The site is a change from the
past when meetings took the
form of a banquet at the Hullett
Township Hall at Londesboro.
Members however felt that with
the switch to Individual Service
Memberships that hall would be
too small and a banquet would
be too large a project
considering the number of
persons expected to attend.
Ontario Federation ' of
Agriculture Fieldman Jerry
Carey spoke to the group about
commitment and abdication of
responsibility. He said that there
had been a lot of talk in the past
in the Federation but very little
commitment. He said that talking
was not nearly enough, that
commitment was needed. He
said, "commitment doesn't
mean just going along with the
show". He said that the OFA
had committed itself to the ISM
