This program is being
offered by the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and

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,"

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

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
