PAT LYNCH, Soils and Crops The cost of NOT treating a dairy heifer for warbles is estimated at $48 That's the conclusion of a study con- ducted last fall by members of Dairy Herd Improvement staff. Complete irformation was obtained on 235 pairs of heifers distributed throughout Ontario. Treated heifers averaged Tess than .2 grubs per head. Untreated herdmates averaged 7.6 grubs. Thus the products used destroyed 97.511 of the grubs present in the treated animals. No differences were observed in the three control products: fenthion I Spotton) and trichlorfon Grubex and Coop Warble Killer t How do we arrive at the $48.00Ioss? Well. the treated heifers gained 9 Y• faster than the untreated ones.

The cost of delayed breeding of a lacating cow has been estimated to cost $1.60 per day. Thus, we have a $48.00 loss for every untreated heifer. The study points out the necessity of treating dairy heifers. 581. of the untreated heifers were in- fested with an average of 13.2 warble grubs. We won't make progress in eliminating this pest if we treat only beef animals. Lactating cows and dry animals within 3 to 7 days of freshening should NOT be treated. • Next Year'sweed control Make a start on next year's weed control now. -Make a note of problem weeds as you harvest or plow. Take an example for identification, if you don't know it. This winter make appointments with your extension and agribusiness people and get a program that will catch any weeds that are escaping from your regular program. Delegate your soil testing Soil test at least two fields if you haven't had one in recent years. You need to know whether potash values are going sky high from heavy manure application or whether your soil is being depleted by three cuts per tw411 year of alfalfa. As owner -operator, you won't likely make time for this job. Why not delegate it to your school age son or daughter and then talk it over together when the result comes back. It's an interesting project for a youngster. It just might provide some incentive to get more involved in the farm operation. Ratepayers vote against Opposition to Vanastra addition Tuckersmith township council's proposal to build a quarter of a million dollar addition to the Vanastra recreation centre is being offered stiff opposition by a group of township ratepayers. At a public meeting held Thursday night at Heather Gardens, Vanastra, 39 of the 55 ratepayers at the meeting voted against having the addition built. None -voted for the addition and seven ab- stained. Diane Durnin, recreation director of the centre placed a proposal before Tucker - smith council about a year ago, suggesting an aquatic and fitness program for people who would not fit into a regular program. She suggested that the council apply for a Canada Works grant available to provide recreation for special needs. A condition to receiving the Canada Works grant was that the centre be renovated to accommodate physically handicapped persons, wheel chair cases who would be involved in the program. To make a washroom accessible to a person in a wheel chair it meant that two of the washrooms would have to be used to make one room. Cutting down on the number of washrooms would reduce the total capacity of the auditorium in respect to the requirements of the Liquor Control board. Mrs. Durnin proposed that larger exercise rooms, activity rooms and change and shower rooms would be practical to be done too, and the need for an addition seemed to be the solution. Crediton By MRS.

Area highest pre -teen loser was Christine Bathke of Thamesford. Queen for this day was Florence Craig of Thornda le Presently using the centre under the Special Needs recreation program are 240 persons registered and these include mainly mentally handicapped, mentally retarded and develop- mentally handicapped from such centres as Goderich Group Home for the Men- tally handicapped, Arc Industries of Dashwood and Bluewater Centre for the developmentally handicap- ped. Included as well, are some senior citizens from Huronview and area nursing homes, some physically handicapped such as strokes. Mrs. Beverley Eisler of Egmondville pointed out these were only three wheel chair cases from Tucker - smith out of the 240 cases and questioned Tuckersmith residents having to pay for all the others from outside the township. Only two township officials attended the meeting - Clerk Jack McLachlan and Councillor Bill Brown, who with his wife, voted against the addition. The main objection seemed to be that the centre has a debenture debt now of $119.00 and adding a further debt was not warranted, and that operating costs might not break even, adding additional debt. Clerk McLachlan pointed out that grants, if approved would cover about 78 percent of the cost of the addition. Questioned if the groups using the facilities would sign guarantees they would continue using the facilities the clerk replied that government agencies never guarantee such things, as their money is dependent on available government money. Presently the taxpayers of Vanastra are responsible for all debts pertaining to the Vanastra recreation centre. However, at a previous meeting protesting the addition, Reeve Ervin Sillery and Deputy -reeve Robert Bell indicated they wanted these spread across the whole township. As the meeting chairman Harvey Hammond outlined the beginning and growth of the centre and he said if the addition is added "we could have a complex even too large for the whole town- ship". He added he would be more in favodrif the county would look at it. Vince Fowlie, a former Tuckersmith Township councillor explained that - when the Vanastra residents signed a petition asking for the recreation complex to be established in 1974, the township council passed a by-law creating Vanastra as a recreation area and responsible for all the costs of the complex. He advised that to protect the interests of the residents that the township ' council have the bylaw removed. He uggested a better way to top the addition would be to have an injunction served gainst the township. Doris Wilson, one member f the nine members epresenting the Vanastra ommunitv association, they voted against the con- truction of the addition) uestioned, if Vanastra esidents are footing the bills by do' they not 'have the ight to run it? We don't want hat building." The chair - an assured her that council ad *the right to run the entre. Terry Hussey of gmondville remarked that nder the plan of subdivision e township could have emanded from the eveloper certain lands nd buildings. Chairman Hammond said hat mistakes were made by council not familiar with he situation and at Vanastra We were a brand new mmunity." Clerk'McLachlan said only e additional person -would hired for the expected flux of members with the dition, so that would not rease costs. He said the oups sending the Reople the pool sent along staff look after them. With ants and additional people said "we should break en". Bill Embling of Vanastra, o formerly worked at a creation centre in ampton, said pools do not eak even but lose money. said the money from ice ntal supported the pool at ampton. The clerk said e auditorium and day care 1ped to support the nastra pool. One man asked what nton received this year for creation from Tucker- ith and was told $500. He d Clinton should be asked pay for their citizens who the pool and other ser - es. erk McLachlan said he s s a 0 r C s q r w r m h c E u th d d a a co on be in ad inc gr for to gr he ev wh re Br br 'He re Br th he Va Cli re sm sal to use via CI • thought other communities would be asked to pay their users' percentage in the future. Speaking of grants available for construction, he said if the government is foolish enough to put that kind of money into it, then I think we are foolish not to take it. Mrs. Harvey Hammond said consideration should be given to government cuts and cited hospital cuts and nursing home cuts. She -said hospitals can't afford to hire new nurses. Vince Fowlie stated, I don't believe the people are here to discuss operation but are you going to block the addition?" The vote was taken. - The chairman asked that it be a hard-fought but a fair petitioning. When he requested volunteers to do the petitioning, which will call for people to sign either for the addition or against it, many people eagerly agreed to work. Businessman Bruce Rath - well asked: "Can we ap- proach council to make them come to a decision on the $119.00 debentrure, that is now held by Vanastra, to be spread over all taxpayers of Tuckersmith. This would break down the barrier between Vanastra and the rest of the people in the township, to make all the taxpayers work together as a unit, rather than splitting the community as it is at present?" Mr. Rathwell suggested council should do this to work for the community and forget the addition.
