Lasso plus atrazine tank mix controls yellow and green foxtail, common ragweed, pigweed, lambsquarters and many more grasses and broadleaves; reduces competition from hard-to-control weeds like cocklebur and buttonweed. You minimize carryover possibilities because Lasso by itself leaves no carryover, and you use less atrazine in the tank mix. AAtrex is a registered trademark of Ciba-Geigy Corporation.

T-A photo Even with prices for Ontario white beans up significantly over those of last year, shipments to Europe during 1974 are expected to increase, according to Phil Durand, Chairman, Ontario White Bean Producers Marketing Board. Mr. Durand made this estimate after visiting Britain in late February during an eight- country tour to study market conditions and to gain in- formation to provide the Board with a guide to future demand, AccompanSring him were Joe Miller and John Hazlitt, directors of the Board, and Lyndon Hooker, Director of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Branch based at Ontario House, London.

"The lower prices that are being bid for slaughter cattle are robbing the producers of the subsidy that was intended for them. This could result in a slight reduction at consumer level without interfering with the profits of the wholesalers and retailers that have recently been questioned by even the Prices Review Board," "Lack of organization in the beef industry makes the ap- plication of any subsidy program very difficult to administer and .clearly indicates the urgency of establishing a national authority," he said. Mr. Sanford added that at its best the subsidy program now in effect is short term and hoped that the federal government would very shortly come forth TALKING ABOUT PLANNING — At Thursday's annual conference of the Huron Soil and Crop Improve- with a stablilzation program that merit Association, the subject being discussed was land use.

In his • opening remarks, Shewfelt said Goderich didn't have much to say about Huron's official plan. He continued, "if we don't plan in the next five years we will be in trouble. We have hydro and nuclear projects coming. Let's get organized so we can deal with the problems when they arise." He mentioned Zurich's recently approved official plan saying, "there were no talks at all bet- ween Zurich and the neigh- bouring townships. A similar situation in Goderich set urban- rural relations back 15 years. Let's get together." In talking about the Grey township secondary plan which will be up for approval shortly, Reeve Charles Thomas said, "some want stringent controls, other don't want any, but at least we had good participation by the ratepayers. On this subject, Dr. Krueger said rural participation in planning was much better than in the cities. He added, "rural folks seem to be closer to the com- munity and environment." In his summarization, Reeve Shewfelt said 100 new homes were being built in Goderich every year." Let's have continued moderate growth and control it," he concluded, A.E. Roze, a planner with J.F. MacLaren of Toronto said it's important to decide the primary use of land in the county, before proceeding with detailed plan- ning. Roze said his consulting firm in a study on urban development in Huron County intends to recommend that 80 percent of the county's existing agricultural land be retained for farming and the remaining 20 percent for recreational purposes. "All land use must relate to the general perspective. For example, if the primary land use is agricultural, then all other uses must support this primary one or at least be non-competitive," he added. Mr. Roze said his firm now is trying to determine which kinds of development are suitable to do agricultural and recreational use. The $100,000 study, undertaken by the Toronto firm was com- missioned jointly by the province and county last June after complaints from farm groups that urban sprawl was gobbling up good farm land. It's hoped the Huron County report will form a basis for planning in other agricultural counties in Ontario. Mr. Roze stressed that once the report is complete, a series of public meetings will be held in the county to get reaction to the recommendations. Huron's director of planning, Gary Davidson urged residents to get involved in the beginning when goals are being established, In discussing the formation of secondary plans for Huron county at Thursday's Land Use Conference at Centralia College several suggestions were made that the number of municipalities in the county be reduced. Dr. Ralph Krueger of the geography department of the University of Waterloo and a native of the Zurich area first brought up the subject. In referring to the detailed county plan he asked, "do you really think you can implement a good plan with 26 municipalities taking part?" Later in the meeting Colborne township farmer John Hazlitt mentioned the same thing when he questioned warden William Elston when the county was going to do something about restruc- turing. Hazlitt continued, "why can't you do something instead of waiting for Toronto? Let's take the bull by the horns and - amalgamate some townships, thus cutting down on the number of councillors." Dr. Krueger said farmers should consider land as a renewable resource and not a commodity like stocks and bonds. He warned that urban sprawl should be halted so there is enough land to produce food for future generations. He suggested speculators should be taxed on profits made through land sales and the revenue turned over to farmers for agricultural development. Krueger said municipalities should be wary of recreational development which could turn parks into semi-urban jungles and lose too much farm land for freeways linking cities to parks. Goderich Reeve Deb Shewfelt who was a member of the af- ternoon panel threw out a dif- ferent idea. In talking about keeping families on the farm he said, "it's nice to keep people on the farm, but I also have a family and I want to keep them close by.
