for rural women
Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology will host its third conference
for rural women this August. The
conference attracts women from various
rural backgrounds and gives them a
chance to make contacts with others. "In
the past the majority of women attending
the conference have been actively
farming", says Valerie Bolton, confer-
ence co-ordinator. "For this reason we

are orienting the workshops to the
particular concerns expressed by these
women such as time management,
leadership skills, stress, and working as
a family on the farm. We expect these
workshops will appeal to non-farm
women as well and we encourage their
participation as we have in past years."
The conference will be held on August
26 and 27. It will begin Friday evening
with registration at 6:30 p.m. An evening
program is planned and overnight
accommodation right at the college is
available.
On Saturday, a series of eight work-
shops will be held, four in the morning
and four in the afternoon. Participants
will choose one in each session so each
person can only attend two different
workshops.
One of the features of the conference
will be a presentation of the results of a
survey conducted in Bruce County on
stress of farm women.
If you are interested, plan to register
early by phoning Centralia College at
519-228-6691. There is a $21.00 regis-
tration fee that must be paid to hold your
spot. Overnight accommodation and
breakfast are available for $10.00 but it
will be payable at registration on August
26.
Quality forage
depends on fertility
Are you overlooking the benefits of
forage fertilization?
Proper fertilization, based on soil
tests, is the first place to start to
obtain benefits such as:
1) Increased yield of feed
2) Increased carrying capacity
of land
3) Increased quality of feed
4) Increased life of forage crops

Research has shown that on
average you could get three
dollars back in extra feed value
for every dollar you invest in
forage fertilization.
Come in and see us today, and
together we'll develop a forage
fertility program for your farm
