Publication of the revised Agricultural Code of Practice for Ontario was announced recently by Agriculture and Food Minister William G. Newman. The code, as revised by the Ministries of Agriculture and Food, Housing and Environment, provides guidelines for the management of livestock operations to minimize Parkhill woman wins $500 The happy winner of the first prize in the draw of the Huron Federation of Agriculture was Mrs. Sharon Miller of RR 3 Parkhill. A $500 cheque will be mailed to her, The second and third prizes of $300 and $200 were won by respectively Gordon Doherty, RR 3 Goderich and Nancy Murney, 169 Maple Street Clinton. The profit realized by the federation is $750 and will go toward the budget deficit. Mr. Ted Whitmore of the Farm Safety Association presented a film and a talk on the safe use of anhydrous ammonia, The film showed clearly how dangerous this very useful fertilizer can be. Only a little bit of this gas in the eye can cause permanent blindness, The wearing of goggles and gloves is a must as there are many ways a sudden leak can occur. The farming in- dustry has the highest rate of ac- .cidents of any industry in On- tario and also the most serious accidents occur on the farm. Of thirty deaths on the farm last year, eight were caused on the tractor. Mr. Whitmore stated that farming is the only industry which doesn't have stringent government regulations and he expected this to change in the not too distant future, A resolution passed requesting OFA to negotiate for more money for tile drainage loans at the higher interest rate of two percent below prime. A social hour after the meeting gave the members the opportunity to ex- change views and ideas. Parkhill By MRS. HARRY SHEPPARD PARKHILL Eleanor Sharpe, London, Mr. Si Mrs, Murray Evans, Lambeth and Mr. & Mrs. Glen Sharpe, Mississauga spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Verne Sharpe who celebrated their 40th wed- ding anniversary. Mr. Dave Charlton and June are spending a few holidays in the Toronto-Hamilton area visiting with relatives and friends, Mrs. Annie Stebbins staying with their children. Mr. Art Skee was able to be home from Victoria Hospital Sunday to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary with the family, Mr. & Mrs. Allen Rowe and family, Mr. & Mrs. Carl Hayter and family, Mr, & Mrs. George Skee and family, Gary Skee, St. Thomas and Mr. & Mrs. Ken Kemple, Parkhill. problems of odor from manure. The new edition of the code contains minimum distance formulas to keep rural residences a reasonable distance from livestock buildings and manure concentrations, The formulas take into account such variables as the 'type of livestock, the number of animals, the type of manure system and manure storage, The code's guidelines apply to the design, location and manure management system of new livestock buildings, the renovation or expansion of existing livestock operations, and the control of water pollution caused by animals watering at streams, ponds or lakes. They also discourage open manure lagoons and govern the disposal of dead animals, In its original form the code reduced problems for neighbors of livestock operations, but provided the operators with little protection from encroachment by other types of development, particularly rural non-farm residential development. The minimum distance formulas have been designed to help provide such protection. Municipalities will be en- couraged to incorporate the By PAUL SALMON MT. CARMEL Ron Hartman, a newcomer to our village eager to become in- volved in activities concerning Mt. Carmel, has taken on the coaching and supervision of the Mt. Carmel Boys baseball team. In their first game, Mt. Carmel visited Ailsa Craig and it was a visit that the Craig home team probably regretted, since they were beaten by a score of 26-18 in favour of our boys in Mt, Carmel. Rich McCann and Gary Glavin each batted a homer for Mt. Carmel while Brad Darling had a perfect batting average with four hits and 1 walk out of 5 times at bat, Rob Flemming's effort greatly aided the Mt. Carmel cause as he chalked up two hits from his two times at bat. Rob Flemming was again at his best on June 7, when Mt. Carmel hosted the Beechwood Nairn team. Although Beechwood defeated Mt, Carmel 26-6, Ron's excellent catching during the game, which was called after five innings, exemplifies Mt. Car- mel's eagerness to hustle and improve with time. More home support is badly needed for our Mt. Carmel boys, and people must realize that these boys are the professionals of the future and if they are not encouraged now a lot of great talent will be wasted. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dietrich are looking forward to attending the ceremony at which their daughter, Mary Lynn, will receive her B.A. from King's College in London. The ceremony is June 9, but already Mary Lynn is looking to the future and she provisipns of the code into their official plans and zoning bylaws, A model bylaw is being developed by Huron County. When it receives approval from the Ontario Municipal Board, the model bylaw will be offered to other municipalities, which may use it or modify it to suit local conditions. The Agricultural Code of Practice was originally drawn up in 1970 and has since gained wide acceptance by farmers, Its success has been the result of a high degree of c000peration among farmers, farm organizations, municipal officials and the Government of Ontario. The new version was drafted in Consultation with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Because of its positive reception by farmers, the code is not compulsory. Farmers who plan changes to their operations are encouraged to apply for a certificate of compliance which will be issued jointly by the Ministries of Agriculture and Food and Environment after an appraisal of the proposed changes. The new code is available from all district and regional offices of the Ministries of Agriculture and Food and Environment. hopes to attend a Teachers College in September. Mrs. Sylvia Desjardine of Detroit brought her mother, Mrs. Mary Bedard to visit with Mrs. Catherine Morrissey who is Mrs. Bedard's mother, on the weekend of June 4 and 5. Although Mrs. Desjardine stayed only a brief time with her grandmother, Mrs, Bedard's stay will be of longer duration. Also, on this past Sunday, Mrs. Morrissey was visited by another daughter Winnie and her husband Hubert Desjardine of Amberley. Since this is the season for many a man to lose his freedom, it comes as no surprise that at least one Mt. Carmel family attended a wedding. The Jer- omkin family attended the wedding of Mr. Jeromkin's niece, Iris Johnston, daughter of Mr. • and Mrs.' Lavern Johnston to Mr. Cel Zambri. The wedding was held in Toronto, the city which will serve as home for the newlyweds. Federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan, Premier Peter Lougheed of Alberta and Saskatchewan Premier Allan Blakeney have each confirmed their attendance at the 7th World Hereford Conference in Banff, June 28 to July 2. The Agriculture Minister will officially open the international Conference on June 29. Premier Lougheed also will address the 32-country delegation that day. The Conference will be officially closed on July 2 by Premier Blakeney. The World Hereford Con- ference marks the meeting held every four years of the World Hereford Council. This in- ternational organization was established to foster and promote universal interest in this world- known beef breed and to open international trade channels. The Canadian Hereford Association is hosting the event which is ex- pected to draw more than 1,000 visitors. Banff agenda items will deal with all aspects of the Hereford industry, including the topics of genetic research, performance testing, exports and marketing, and world-wide promotion of the breed, In addition to the Banff agenda, the International Show of Horned and Polled Herefords, with an anticipated showing of 800 animals representing North America's best Hereford stock, will take place at Stampede Park, Calgary, July 8 and 9. July 3 to 9 has been proclaimed Calgary Hereford Week by Mayor Rod Sykes, honouring the many Hereford breeders in that city for the Show and Tours. Pre and post Conference tours across Canada will highlight Canadian Hereford operations. The Hereford is the largest beef breed in Canada and over the past five years more than 18,000 Canadian Herefords have been exported throughout the World. There are approximately 7,000 Hereford breeders in Canada. Mount Carmel ballteam downs Ailsa Craig
