ing the event,
The three-day fair. will begin

clay night with the presentation
of, the Denfield Creek Plan in
Nairn Tuesday night,
The, report, prepared by the

and Development, lays the
groundwork for the establishment
of a "model valley" which will
serve as an example .of conser-
vation tillage and practices for

The plan was presented by.H.
A. Smith, department engineer,
to Joseph E. Bryan, Biddulph,
the chairman of the Authority's
board on farm ponds and farm
planning, in the public hall in
Nairn.
The Denfield plan is one of
three "model valley" reports in
Ontario propared by the provin-
cial department and "dedicated
to the improvement and better
uses of river valleys."
The area covered by the sur-
vey contains approximately 18,-
000 acres and lies 'southwest of
the village of Lucan. The valley
is 81/2 miles long and four miles
wide.
The plan is based on a detailed
study of the area,. during which
surveyors tramped over every
foot of it. Proper land use for the
entire valley has been plotted

age, farm planning, reforestation
and other conservation measures

In Conservation Plans
` A new deal for the farmer, in-
cluding public purchase of sub-
marginal lands and spepial credit
facilities to modernize the mar-
ginal farm, has been suggested
by Canada's largest farm body.
The 400;000 -member Canadian
Federation of Agriculture, in a
brief to the Senate's special com-
mittee on Land use, called Thurs-
day for federal -provincial co-op-
eration in a national program of

ing with a country -wide soil sum -

Crop Report
By A. S. BOLTON
During the past couple of
weeks nearly all of the snow
which covered the ground has
disappeared. In many places
the small amount of frost which
was in the ground has started
ro come out leaving roads and
fields in an extremely muddy
condition.
With the unusual mild weather
farmers are anticipating an
early seeding, consequently the
seed cleaning plants have been
very busy during the past -month.
Many farmers have found that
the seed ' which they harvested
last year is not fit to sow sand
we find that Gary Oats and
Brant Barley are very much in
demand. Brant barley is now
extremely scarce and prospects
are that Gary Oats suitable for
seed will also be in short supply
before seeding starts. •

"In the case of lands which
are definitely sub -marginal, there
should be a program under whicll
farmers on these lands may be
given an opportunity of selling
their farms to some public auth-
ority and given, too, assistance
in relocating in some other farm
area or establishing .themselves
in other occupations,"
The _CFA brief said rehabilita-
tion programs should be started
in marginal areas.
Officials Testify
The -committee, headed by
Senator C. G. (Chubby). Power,
also heard testimony from offi-
cials of the 'Ontario agriculture
department.
Dr. N. R. Richards, of the de-
partment of soils, said a provin-
cial land use planning service
had provided detailed soil maps
for 700 individual farms, most of
which had been put to better use
without changes requiring heavy
financial outlays.
Dr. H. L. Patterson, director
of the provincial farm economics
branch, said Ontario's agricul-
ture population has been drop-
ping at an estimated rate of 1,000
a month since the war and now
totals only 26 per cent of the
pre-war ligure.
The plan was prepaied to point
up the need for reduction of soil
erosion and the impratement of
soil fertility and landWonditions
generally,a program which has
not received the attention it
should, the report states.
In the report, the department
recommended the Authority
"should do everything possible to
brieg about adjustment of land
use to land capability in the val-
ley,
It said the "Authority should
promote in every, possible way
the planning of farms and to this
end might consider employing a
man to do the necessary inter-
view work."
It also recommended the
Authority promote land judging
contests, encouragePasture im-
provement and renovation, press
for more adequate woodlot pro-
tection and management."

Comments
On Busy Year
By CARL HEMINGWAY
The directors of Huron C,oun-
ty Federation of Agriculture held
their monthly meeting in ' the
Board rooms in Clinton, Mar.3.9.
The question- of printing '',,the
Huron County Federation Sur -
/Vey was discuSsed and it was
decided to request Clinton News -
Record to do this work for 1957;
'thereafter it should be allotted
for two year terms to any of the
county weeklies interested.
The secretary was commended
for the news items appearing in
the county weeklies and advised
to continue with them.
The secretary was. instructed
to advise the poultry committee
to represent the county at the
annual meeing in Toronto.
The directors voiced their ap-
proval of supplying legal advice
to members, through the C.P.A.
wherever possible.
The secretary was instructed
to obtain a number of copies of
the Ontario Federation Annual
Reports.
During -the discussion period it
was felt that the Federation was,
going to have a very busy year.
Since the necessary legislation
is well on- the way to take care
of the differences of opinion on
the validity of the Ontario Farm
Products Act and the Federal
Bill 82 the Poultry Producers,
beef producers and wheat grow-
ers are showing desire for ac-
tion.
Mr. Earl McSpaddin , gave a
report on the leadership train-
ingcourse at Vineland. .The
training of our young people and
the information they receive at
these courses, will pay good divi-
dends to the rural cgmmunities
through the years to come,

conservation in the valley was
the responsibility ef each farmee
or land -owner but the Authority
should do all it can to encourage
his co-operation.
"The program will take time,"
he said, ",perhaps up to eight
years. The main thing is that it
be ambitious,"
"One good feature about con. -
servation is that there is no de-
preciation on it as there is on
other farm investments Stich as
the purchase of a tractor or the
building of a barn. Rather, its
benefits increase during and
after the completion of the pro-
gram,"
Among the speakers at the
meeting were John A. Morrison,
chairman of the Authority, and
H. G, Hooke, fieldman. Present
were the landowners in the Den-
field Creek area.
