G. THOMPSON AND SONS LIMITED Phone 262-2527 Henson As soon as field spraying is finished for the year, spraying equipment should be stored properly over the winter so that it will be ready for use next spring, Professor Ross Irwin, Extension Coordinator, School of Agricultural Engineering, University of Guelph, in conjunction with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, makes these recommendations for the maintenance of field spraying units. Any chemicals left in the spray tank should be drained off. It is very important that the tanks be washed out in an area where there is no danger of polluting water used for domestic or farm purposes. The end plugs and nozzles should he removed and the tank flushed out with clear water, The tank should be filled again using a mixture of two ounces of household ammonia to one gallon of water, and allowed to sit overnight. The mixture should then be drained through the hoses and boom. The nozzles must be thoroughly cleaned and stored where they can be found easily in the spring. Booms should be tied together or otherwise supported so that they will not be damaged in storage.

Farmers make own decisions Ontario's farmers, are now being offered the opportunity to make decisions and choices never before made available to them. This is the reflection of Charles Munro, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, as the OFA continues its first historic Individual Service Membership campaign. The Federation president emphasizes that farmers are now being offered something tangible for their individual membership fee. "Individual farmers will not be buying a membership card. They will be purchasing services to fulfill their own particular needs," he points out. Mr. Munro emphasizes that the most tangible asset being offered to farmers by the Federation is the right and responsibility to voice their own personal opinions and to be heard in directing their industry. He goes on to explain that the future of this province's agricultural industry will depend on the choice of leaders put forth by the farmers themselves. "The farmers will have to live with the actions of those they choose to lead them," he comments. The Embro dairy farmer emphasizes the importance of choosing future agricultural leaders who will be able to communicate with government, the general public, and those they are representing. "The future of agriculture in Ontario and Canada must be planned and guided constantly by those leaders who are capable of accomplishing almost the impossible for the thousands of farmers whose lives depend on their every decision," the president continued. Mr. Munro stresses the fact that leaders will be responsible to those who elect them. "The democratic process must be guaranteed in order to ensure progress," he concluded. By MRS. S. HUTTON Mr. & Mrs. George Frayne, Sunshine Line, visited Friday evening with Mrs. Wm. Walters. Wm. Walters spent the weekend at the French River.
