This program is being offered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food ,through the depart- ment of land resource science at the University of Guelph. "The service can help farmers make more efficient use of fertilizer and save money at the same time," says Prof. Tom Bates, University of Guelph soil scientist. Manure is a good source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter. If a farmer has manure analysed for these nutrients, he'll know exactly how much fertilizer he can save. In some cases, manure could provide all the nutrients the crop needs, but without knowing its analysis, large amounts of com- merical fertilizer might be applied. as, well, "This practice can be dangerous," PRESIDENT AND QUEEN EAT — Miss Dominion of Canada Mary Rinas had a full three days of activity at the Exeter fair this past weekend including a meal at the pork barbecue. With Ms. Rinas is fair president Norm Whiting. T-A photo The Government of On- tario has enacted two new laws - the OeCuPier'S Liabili-. ty Act and the Trespass. to Property Act. These new laws affect everyone who, uses land in any way. The new lawS are of par- ticular interest to farmers, one of the largest landow- ning groups, and to 'people who use rural land for recreational purposes. To help explain how the laws affect these two groups. the GRADUATE — Pte. Jack Th. Smits, recently graduated from the Recruit Training Course at the Canadian Forces Base, Cornwallis, N.S. He is now stationed at Petawawa, completing his training course of about three, months duration. He will be transferred to Gagetown, N.B. He is the son of Bill and Mary Smits, Ex- eter. plants can produce toxic nitrates," says Prof. Bates. "To reach toxic levels, at least twice as much nitrogen as the plant needs would have to be applied. This can happen when a farmer spreads manure and adds chemical fertilizers as if the manure wasn't there." Manure analysis can also save money. In some cases, depending on the crop and the manure nutrient content, manure could eliminate the need for chemical fer- tilizers. "As a livestock producer, you already have to handle the manure," says Prof. Bates. "And if you don't use the manure in proper com- bination with fertilizer, you're missing one of the major advantages of com- bing livestock and crop production." Interested farmers can get manure sample kits from their local agricultural of- fices for $1.50. The cost of the service, including the kit, is $14.50. If the farmer wants to know 'the micro-nutrient content, samples cost an additional $3. Samples shouldn't be in transit for Competition was keen in the various farm related categories at the weekend Exeter Fair, In sheep competitions the winners were Donald Dearing, Exeter; Dave Townsend, Seaforth and Ed Jackson, Harriston while Bill Dickey was top com- petitor in rabbits and Susan Van Egmond won with her goats, In poultry, Cliff Pepper of Dashwood continued his domination in standard bred chickens and Barry Cleave of Zurich was the bantams winner.
