.MNR seeks
mailing
partners
TORONTO - The .Ministry of
Natural Resources is looking for'
partners to share the cost of mailing
printed material to anglers and
hunters.
With some 1.4 million names in
its database, MNR annually spends
about $400,0(X1 to mail information
to anglers and hunters. The minis-
try believes it -can significantly re-
duce costs by working with part-
ners who want to reach MNR's
large angling and hunting audience.
Anglers and hunters may check a
box on their licence renewal forms
to agree to accept sponsored mail-
ings. or can call a toll-free number
to initiate the process.
The ministry is seeking two types_
ofmailing partners: Those .who -
wish to add material to regular
MNR mailings (Such as Outdoors
Cards), and those who wish to .send
their own promotional material to
anglers and hunters in MNR's data-
base. In both cases. MNR will re-.
view all material intended for an-
glers or hunters to cmure it is
- relevant to that audience. and is
Consistent with fish and wildlife
laws and management objectives.
In both cases; material will only he
sent to anglers and hunters who
agree to receive it.

Applying liquid manure: "What's new"
CLINTON - The phrase, "Noth-
ing's simple any more"- certainly
applies to many aspects of life to-
day.
"Manure application is no excep-
tion, just ask any livestock produc-
er. Economics dictate that fanners
need to utilize their manure re-
source to achieve the greatest finan-
cial benefit, while dealing with oth-
er factors such as seasonal time
constraints, working within legal
standards and an ethical responsi-
bility to minimize the impact on
their local environment", said Steve
Bowers of the Huron Stewardship
Council.
Staying abreast of the constantly
changing information and technolo-
gy relating to these topics is deft-.
nicely a challenge. In early June of
this year, at a workshop hosted by
the Huron Stewardship Council and
Huron County Federation of Agri-
culture concerning the legal aspects
of manure management, partici-
pants were asked to identify their
key manure management informa-
tion needs. A workshop on liquid
manure application was suggested
by a number of participants.
In response, the Huron Steward-
ship Council, along with a number
of livestock commodity groups, is
hosting a workshop entitled. "Liq-
uid Manure Application: What's
New'.
The workshop will take place on
Friday September 5 from I to 4
p.m. at Lot 21, concession 4,
McKillop Township (one intersec-
tion east of Seaforth and two inter-
sections north). Its purpose is to as-.
sist livestock producers, or other
interested parties, gain information
on some of the latest technology
and information relating to manure
application. The agenda will in-
clude: •
John Arts, pork producer and
• host farmer

his operation

Winning the war on ragweed
For more than 80 per cent of sea-
sonal allergy sufferers across Cana-
da. the potent pollen released by
the ragweed plant in late summer
and early fall is the major source of
allergy E"mptoms such as sneezing,
runny nose, and throat and cyc itch-
iness.
While the ragweed plant grows
virtually everywhere in Canada. es-
pecially in moist areas. there arc a
number of ways you can take con-
trol over ragweed and find addi-
tional relief this season:
• Since invisible ragweed pollen
is carried by air currents, placing
proper air filers on cooling and ven-
tilation equipment in your home
and using room size air purifiers
can be effective;
• Vacuum your carpets and up-
holstery frequently;
• Keep windows and doors closed
as much as possible during pollen
season;
• The ragweed plant most com-
monly appears every year along the
cdgcs Of roads and gates and even
in your lawn - for best results, re-
move it before it begins to flower
in August;
• Plan your most strenuous activi-
ties in the afternoon - ragweed pol-
linates very early each day increas-
ing airborne pollen levels;
• After outdoor activities shower
and change your clothes;
• Wash your hands frequently.
