Job opportunities for youth
The Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food is once again provid-
ing job opportunities for young
people as well as summer help for
farmers through two summer pro-
grams.
The Junior Agriculturalist Pro-
gram provides an opportunity for
students between the ages of 15-24,
with no farm experience, to work
on a farm for nine weeks. Students
receive S30/day with every second
weekend off.
Host farmers are asked to provide
room and board, and contribute 515/
day to the Junior Agriculturalist
training fund.
The Agricrew Program offers the
service of an energetic, hard work-
ing four person crew for the cost of
590 per eight hour day. These crews
provide extra help with odd jobs and
during peak periods of the summer.
This year the Junior Agricultural-
ist and Agricrew programs will be
coordinated by Angela Schlosser of
Walkerton and Don Rauser from
Mitchell. Both Angela and Don will
be working out of the Clinton
OMAF Office as of May 1st.
If you are a student or a farmer,
and would like more information re-
garding either of these programs,
please contact the OMAF office at
482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170 in

Banvel Kills Triazine-Resistant Weeds Banvel ie -Canada's
favourite herbicide for triazine-resistant weeds in corn.
Here's why:
Season -long Control Most herbicides for triazine-resistant
weeds work by leaf contact. Banvel is the only one that
gives you lasting control through residual soil activity.
Flexible Timing Banvel's soil activity lets you spray pre or
post -emergent. You don't have to wait for the weeds to
come up to get a good kill.
Flexible Rotations With Banvel you can rotate next year to
any crop you like.
Proven Success Banvel consistently kills the pigweeds
and Iamb's -quarters that flourish in atrazine. That's proven
on more acres every year. Prove it to yourself. Weed'm
and reap with Banvel.
