Big Bale l*y Storage Several years before their acceptance in Ontario, large round balers had a strong :foothold in Western Canada - largely because the 'dryland' climate was well suited to the big bale concept. Soon of the benefits of reduced labour and speed of harvest moved these systems into Ontario where •outside storage was initially tried in spite of our wetter climate. There are now a large number of farmers who are attempting to eliminate or minimize the spoilage of hay which occurs with outside storage. This trend coincides with a new measure of respect given to big bale systems, as farmers' efforts toward a quality hay have increased in the beef and dairy sectors Alike. A few questions may affect one's thinking when considering the storage of large round hay bales. These may io- dide (a) why ,;protect ' big bales? (b) protection alternatives and (c) the economics of such , a decision. A factsheet entitled "Big Bale Bay Storage" is available from your local Ott -office. Father's Day sermon Rev.

(Pat Livingston photo) Marine policing expanded If _ou're out in your boat -this Canada Day weekend, you'll probably notice something new in marine patrols. The Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police .have combined forces to expand their marine policing capabilities. They are sharing both human resources Mut marine equipment to establish cooper dive and joint marine policing patrols. The increased police presence is in- tended to act as a preventive means, to provide more rapid response to emergencies and to reinforce safe and - enjoyable use of provincial waterways. The two major causes of fatal boating accidents are capsizing and falling overboard. So far there have been 12 fatal ac- cidents on Ontario waterways this year, nine of which involved capsized boats. Alcohol was a factor in nearly half of them. The OPP and the RCMP urge you to have a safe boating weekend.
