Ontario :is the annual spring. ,ffeder cattle sale, which will be held this year at the South. River :Stockyards, Thursday, May 13, -beginning at 12 p.m. • Mr. S. MacDonald, secretary of the Parry Sound District 14ivestock Co-Operative, which conducts the sale, says the event - is ., designed to enlarge the rnairketing services of Co- Operative members and to provide a buying point for producers looking for feeder cattle. Past sales have averaged approximately 500 head. While information on types and ages of cattle offered is not yet available, Mr.. MacDonald ex- pects the biggest, run will be to yearlings, and that ap- TV Director to actress: "More fervor, more sincerity! Remember, this isn't just a line from a play — this is the commercial!' proximately 50 percent of these will be steers. Yearling classes are very rnueh in demand at spring feeder sales, and there should be quite a number of calves, In past years, breeders have been using A.I. beef bells to advantage, says Mr. MacDonald. In the last four years over eighty qualified, performance-tested bulls havebeenpurchased through the Ontario Beef Bull Sale and similar sales. Much of the stock now offered is from performance- tested bulls, To encourage the production of quality feeders, a Feeder Competition will be conducted again this year. A feature of last year's sale, the competition allows farmers to consign a pen of six feeder steers or heifers, which will be scored and sold as a package. Mr. MacDonald says it is hoped this contest will continue to benefit both producer and purchaser. By MISS ELLA MOR LOCK CR ED I TON Monday evening a meeting was held in the Community Hall of those interested in forming a Historical Society under the Rid insects with beam One of the most spectacular developments of the space age is the laser, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation, Its uses range from bouncing light signals off the moon to use as an extremely accurate measure of distance. It also has uses in the field of agriculture, Professor Ross Irwin, School of Engineering, University of Guelph, says it has been used at Guelph for research into the control of insects in stored grain. Now, he says, it is being used to provide more accurate tile drainage trenching. In 1970, two tile trenching machines in Ontario were fitted with a helium-neon laser to establish a "grade reference plane." A central command post in the field is used to establish the desired grade or level. The beam sent out from the post is picked up by a photosensitive detector on the trenching machine. The detector activates the hydraulic system of the machine to maintain the grade. The result, says Professor Irwin, is more accurate work for the farmer. sponsorship of the Women's Institute.

Mrs. Young is staying for a longer visit with her sister, Mrs. Smith. Time for drainage It will soon be time to drain wet land and the type of draining material to be used must be chosen. Professor Ross Irwin, School of Engineering, University of Guelph, says that corrugated plastic drain tubing, in which extensive interest has been shown, has become a replacement for clay drain tile over the last two years. Professor Irwin stressed that clay tile has been a very satisfactory product for over a century in Ontario, and is the basis for a substantial rural-based industry. In fact, he says, the quality of clay drain tile has never been higher. When carefully installed, each product will do an equally good job. Contractors installing plastic drain tubing should be instructed to take special care in the back- filling operation, to ensure earth is placed under the tubing sides for adequate lateral support of the tubing. Professor Irwin says a farmer installing clay drain tile will save about $20 per thousand feet of tile, but more later may be required on the project. The installation rate depends on soil conditions and may vary from 1,000 to 6,000 feet per day. Information on farm drainage can be obtained from Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food Publication 4, Farm Tile Drainage Assistance; Publication 29, Drainage Guide for Ontario; Publication 240, Drainage Law; and Publication 501, Farm Drainage. These publications are available from the Information Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture By MRS. HEBER DAVIS The Greenlee-Eaton wedding was held Saturday at Holy Trinity Church, Lucan.
