Mr. Danlop has a three.fold interest in weed control: as a farmer, a custom sprascr and as weed inspector for Lambkin Count\ . Split application of Atrazine makes corn growing profitable on land heavily infested with quack grass "Neighbours of mine had to give up growing cereal crops because the farm was getting so dirty with quack grass," Mr. W. H. Dunlop of Arcona, reports. "Last year they planted 48 acres of this dirty land to corn. We applied a split application of Atrazine, the equivalent of 3 lbs. of Atrazine 65W on the first of April, which was ploughed in, and another 3 lbs. early post-emergent. The Lambton County Soil & Crop Improvement Association supervised this test. The result of the Atrazine application was that my neighbours harvested an excellent crop in spite of the dry season and grossed $5,000 from the 48 acres. "Without Atrazine it would not be possible for many farmers in this area to grow corn," Mr. Dunlop says. "Shortage of labour for cultivationa, combined with serious weed problems, would put them out of business. Atrazine repays its cost many times over. After seeing the results of split applications on heavy quack grass infes- tations, I would say it is almost a miracle chemical," Alrazine 65W is available in 5 lb, bags and 50 lb, Mont from farm supply halert Get Back on Your Land Earlier With DUAL RIMS Unverferth minutes mounting 30 seconds dismount Can You Beat That?

WILLIAMS 235.2597 Kids to sell more hogs Discuss ways for using land The problem of making the best use of land confronted the members of Fairfield Farm Forum when they met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Haist Monday night. They considered the best use for idle land in the area was for grazing cattle while some land could be reforested. They reported that reforestation of the land would also resist the drifting of the sandy soil. Different services are avail- able if landowners would only use them to find the best use for their land. The Federation of Agriculture and Department of Agriculture are available for advice and consultation. Officers for the fall meetings were elected. President is Mau- rice Heist; vice-president, Russell King; secretary, Mrs. Ted Lamport; assistant, Mrs. Russell King; press, Mrs. Her- man Powe; recreation commit- tee, Mr. and Mrs. George Bar- burn, Mr. and Mrs. Joe White, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Heist and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Neil. The first meeting in the f all will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe White. Exeter r valley and flood plain lands bordering the river and its tri- butaries which should be set aside as a green legacy for ,,tomorrow". Regional planning is becom- ing accepted as the only rea- sonable yardstick for future development. The designation of such lands for conservation purposes will not only assure the river of its right to the flood-plain, but will also pro- vide public access to the stream and surrounding woodland s without a sense of trespassing. It would be a logical exten- sion of urban zoning, to the countryside. Perhaps such a policy of gradual valley land acquisition might even spark the needed enthusiasm and drive to clean up our streams. The Ontario Water Resources Commission is the policeman of pollution, but we in the water- shed community are the care- takers of conservation. Cut Calf Feeding Costs In his State of the Union mes- sage to Congress earlier this year, President Johnson of the United States stressed that con- servation of natural beauty is going to be one of the pillars in the foundation of his "great society". He said "we will seek legal power to prevent pollution of the air and water before it happens. We will step up our effort to control harmful wastes, giving first priority to the clean up of our most con- taminated rivers." He added "we do not intend to live — confined by blighted cities and bleak suburbs, stunt- ed by a poverty of learning and an emptiness of leisure." He proposed the quality of its civil- ization as the test of a nation's mettle. National boundaries should not fetter this type of thinking. Here in southwestern Ontario we are facing the same prob- lems, the only difference being one of degree. The bonus of automation is that increasing gap bet we en work and sleep which we call "leisure". It can become an opportunity to flex the muscles of the mind by self-stimulation of interests outside the shrink- ing perimeter of our jobs, or it can become one-half of a fatal equation equalling boredom or frustration. "People-serving" agencies in resources management such as the Ontario Water Resources Huron County 4-H Swine Club members will be auctioning one of their purebred gilts at a sale to be held at the Clinton Fair Grounds Barn in Clinton Satur- day commencing at 1 p.m. There will be 41 lots includ- ing Lacombe, L an drace and yorkshires. Many of the lots consigned are rich in Record of Perfor- mance (R.O.P,) "blood lines" and every individual can be considered worthy of purchase by a breeder for the general improvement of his swine herd. These gilts have been bred to top ranking premium boars. Catalogues may be obtained from Filson and Robson, Auc- tioneers, or the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, Clin- ton. The Clinton Junior Farmers will have a lunch counter on the grounds for the convenience of all buyers. Commission, Lands and For- ests and Conservation Authori- ties, realize that urban-orient- ed folk turn to the country- side for their leisure and re- creation. Water is the "hub" about which all the other resources, such as the soil, wildlife, for- ests, etc. revolve. Recreation is also a key spoke in this "water wheel". It too, is a resource, less tangible and thus more prone to be over- looked. Each one of the Ausable Auth- ority's Conservation Areas — the Morrison Dam, Lucan, Rock Glen near Arkona, Thedford and Port Frank — depends on the proximity of water for its appeal to the public. This is to say nothing of the contribution of Lake Huron and that beautiful stretch of the "old" Ausable River, to the attractiveness and popularity of the Pinery Provincial Park, which generates re-creation of the spirit and a sense of ad- venture in many thousands of people every year. We need more of such wilder- ness conservation areas simply because there are now more people to use them and whose reach they are within due to our increasing mobility.
