That camera was pretty big. It was bigger than I thought a camera could get. Sincerely, David Govers, Stephen Central School Dear Mr. Harte: The grade six students of Stephen Central Public School appre- ciate that you gave up your time on a busy day to show us around the Times -Advocate.

OTTAWA - The Prince of Wales got a first-hand look at major ad- vances in Canadian agricultural re- search last week at Agriculture Canada's Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight welcomed Prince Charles, Govemor General Ramon J. Hnatyshyn and Secretary of State Robert de Cotret to the Farm. They were given a demonstration of the high-tech equipment used in micro- injection, a process that enables scientists to introduce new genetic traits into plant cultivars. An Agriculture Canada scientist explained research aimed at devel- oping corn and wheat varieties free of mycotoxins, chemicals produced by some molds. Mycotoxins slow the growth rate of animals causing large economic losses for Canadian livestock producers. His royal Highness viewed the site of the first field test of a geneti- cally engineered micro-organism in Canada. Scientists have equipped a common soil bacterium. rhizobium, with a special marker. as part of a project to enhance the ability of this naturally occurring micro-organism to produce plant nutrients. Enhanc- ing rhizobium's effectiveness will hues ditr need to odd chemical fertilizers. The Prince has a long-standing interest in agriculture. In Glouces- tershire, England, he has a 425 hec- tare farm that is part of the Duchy of Cornwall Estate. The farm pro- duces wheat, barley, oats and beans and has an Ayrshire Dairy herd, an Aberdeen Angus beef herd and a flock of sheep.
