Timms, o native of Sarnia, is participating in the junior agriculturalist program sponsored by the Ontario ministry of agriculture.. T -A photo _City lad knows difference between a hog and a sow. Practical farm experience . far Dean Timms has been finding out the difference between a hog and a sow. The 16 -year-old native of Sarnia is participating in the junior .agriculturalist program this summer on•the farm of Robert Broadfoot. Brucefield. The hog and chicken operation is Timms' first 'experience ivith rural living: - "I. now know the difference between a hog and a sow. I -never knew that before." said Timms. • Living on a fa rifi%luron County had a few other sur- prises for the urbanite. "Everyone knows everybody around here. Peo- plecan go along for blocks and tfiey know ,,the people. Everybody is real friendly." Timms was prepared for early- hours and long. hard work on the farm. but the job isn't as bad as he ex- pected. "I only have to be up by 8 a.m. The work is hard but I can handle it." he said. Under the junior agriculturalist program. Timms is paid 55 per day plus room and board by the farmer. The Ontario Ministry -of. Agriculture and Food provides an additional 56 per day towards his wages. Timms says he decided to apply for the program because he likes 'animals.

Hensall 262-2605 Wheat, oats, barley or quackgrass. What are you harvesting next year? ROUNDUP WILL CONTROL QUACKGRASS THIS FALL, FOR A CLEAN START COME SPRING. Next spring, nothing will be - more important than getting in and planting as early as possible: Un- fortunately, that doesn't leave muchtime.for dealing with quackgrass, Unless you' apply Roundup" herbicide by Monsanto this fall after harvest. Simply allow the quackgrass to re- grow undisturbed in the crop stubble until the majority of plants are actively growing and at least 8 inches high (3-4 leaf stage). But treat before the - first killing frost. Properly applied, Roundup will be absorbed and "transloca'ted" down into the network of rhizomes — de- stroying the entire plant, above _ and below ground. Five days after 'treatment, you can restame tillage operations. . Since Roundup has no re- sidual soil activity, you can elant wheat, oats or barley next spring- without risk of crop in- jury. , What's more, many farmers using Roundup as the key element in a quackgrass con- trol program, have been able to achieve manage- able quackgrass control for as long as three years. Don't think of treating quack - grass as one more chore in the fall. Think of it as one Tess chore i'n the spring. See your dealer about Roundup. The herbicide that gets to the root of the problem. There's never been a herbicide like this before.
