Do you see dust storms in your area on windy days'' Are rills, washouts, and gullies form- ing in your fields after rainstorms or robbing you of potential yields? If your farmland is affected then you are losing topsoil and dollars -- in Targe amounts. An erosion control program for your farm will solve the problem. However, what you need to start is some technical and financial assistance. The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority is your local source of help. Robert Traut works out of the A.B.C.A.'s office in Exeter. As Con- servation Agronomist, Traut offers advice and assistance on erosion con- trol to farmers from Clinton to Adelaide. -We provide services to meet every farmer's erosion control needs," says Traut. "Firstly, there's farm plann- whicharee we outline the options Ban smoking at school which are suitable to each individual farmers conservation need.

Regardless of the method, the farmer ultimately decides which option or combination of options best suit his operation and farming system while keeping his soil loss at tolarable levels." "If a farmer chooses the conserva- tion tillage or planting option, equip- ment is available for trials. Finally, we can give assistance and advice about government grants for struc- tural works and tree planting." Traut feels that the equipment trials are a key part of the program. "The equipment trials should be very attractive to farmers. Landowners are allowed to use the equipment free of charge on a 10 acre trial."

"This equipment allows the farmers to use and evaluate the systems on their own farms", says Traut. "I know that these farmers will see the advantages of the system because our existing test results are so good," he says. Traut's hope is that farmers will follow through and in- vest in equipment modifications or new equipment and use them for ero- sion control. "With services likethis, and finan- cial assistance available in many cases, every farmer with soil erosion problems should be lining up for help," concludes Traut.

HUGH MORIN& Shipka Congratulations to Terry Pickering who last weekend won 557,568.00 in the Lotto 649. Terry purchased his ticket at the Barefoot Pedlar store in Grand Bend. Family Meets The Schilbe family reunion was held Sunday at Shipka Community Centre, with about 60 in attendance. Sports were in charge of Gary and Sheona Baker, and Bonnie and Con- nie Sitter. Prize to youngest attending was Jeffery Baker, Shipka; oldest atten- ding, Mrs. Irene McLinchey, Zurich; one of the special older guests atten- ding was Mrs. Gertrude Sitter, of Thedford. All enjoyed a smorgasbord picnic supper. Relatives attended from Michigan, Thedford, Zurich, Bayfield and Exeter. The readers write Dear Sir, ('anadians have been held hostage for too long by the effective monopo- ly which the post office has on the delivery of letters in Canada. Believe it or not, the law says that you must charge more than three times as much as the post office to deliver letters. If you charge less than that you commit a crime which could result in imprisonment for five years' In addition, through assault, van- dalism, threats and harassment by picketers, unions have an effective monopoly on the supply of labour to the post office. The result of this "double monopo- ly" is that the country" is being held to ransom by the postal unions and there is no alternative to which Cana- dians can turn. Instead. we're forced to put up with strikes, disruptions. high prices and inefficiency in our postal service. Many small and new businessess have been push. (1 to the brink of bankruptcy. Billions of dollars have been lost to the economy. That's why we're urging Canadians to ask Prime Minister Mulronev to end the post office monopoly. If Canada Post were exposed to the discipline of free enterprise competi- tion, the change -would be revolutionary. The time for tinkering with the post office mess has passed. .Papering over the cracks in the system will only invite further trouble. We say, "Stamp out the post office monopoly and allow _ free competition." The time has come for fundamen tal change -. and political courage. Yours sincerely David Somerville. President.
