Lregard to p rows: ef./ i planning, lin the
% show program booklet Newman
wrote of the cfrallenges faced by today's
&prrime
-Farming has crevor been an easy way
to earn a riving,." he wrote "But far -
niers have met changing conditions and
adapted new technology steadily over
the years until today ours is one of the
most productive and efficient
agricultural industries."
Soil erosion was discussed Friday, the
final clay of the show, by three experts on
the subject. Dr. Dick Frank of the
agriculture ministry told the audience
Lake Erie is in great danger if farmland
eriosion is not soon halted on both the
Canadian and American perimeters_
-If sedimentation continues Lake Erie
will eventually become only a river
o ,g from Lake St. Clair to Niagara
Falls." he said. Frank is working on an
erosion study on the Great Lakes basin
for the International Joint Curnmission_
Agricultural engineer Ed Brubaker
said until several years ago scientists
thought the major cause of erosion was
the cultivation of farmland slopes. Now
its suspected row cropping on clay soils
and tevel terrain are the major causes_
Farming to the edge of streams and
ditches without leaving a strip of un-
cultivated land is the cause of a great
deal of the runoff, he said. .
But despite the seriousness of many of
the programs and the. vast amount of
problems faced by the farming industry,
the show -goers still managed to keep the
atmosphere light and congenial. There
were animal exhibits tor the biddies
including a chicken town display and lots

Coventry. noted earlier that the
Fros t Guard has discussed the idea

a
The limited increases in hospital
budgets wilt continue in the next two
years.
"Hospitals have already been in-
formed that a similar rate of increase
will be allocated in the 197980 fiscal
year so that hospitals can plan now
for management of their resources."
Timbrell explained.
According to Timbrell, the cost of
operating Ontarto' s hospitals. ac-
counts for more than half of the total
budget allotted to the ministry of
health and by lessening the amounts
given -for operations of hospitals,
health costs" will be kept from rising
too march_
The budget for the health ministry
this year is close to 53.S million_
-Only by careful management of
health care expenditures. and proper
use of the system. can we continue to
enjoy one of the finest health care
systems in the world." Timbrell

Huron County was well represented at
the show. Don Stewart of Goderich and
Ery Johnston of Londesboro gave
demonstrations and explanations at a
duel display of high pressure washers
from Epps Manufacutirng in Clinton and
electrical agricultural equipment from
RDS Agri -can Ltd. The high pressure

chicken coups, barn floors and pig pens
using de -greasers, paint removers,
water, soaps and detergents, aluminum
and metal cleaners as cleaning sub-
stances_
The electronic equipment featured
such things as an acremeter for
measuring the exact acres worked by a
tractor, combine or sprayer; a speedo
area recorder for recording area
distance and speed for spraying; and a
combine monitor with sensors giving a
continuous visual indication on grain
loss while harvesting with a combine_
Johnston said Friday the show was a
complete success. Things couldn't have
gone much better, he said.
The Seaforth Silver Spurs 4-H horse
club had a display of horse equipment_
Everything from horse hair polish and
fly protectant to nippers for trimming
horse hooves were displayed.
Bob Caldwell and Larry McLean, both
of Hensall, took part in a farm
machinery exhibit sponsored by Allis-
Chalmers_ They both work at Hyde
Brothers farm equipment in Hensall_
Michael Craven, also of Hensall, worked
at the WBR Incorporated exhibit
featuring rock pickers and headgate for
cattle among their farm equipment_
A display was set up to promote the
International Plowing Match which will

Hallahan of Blyth, Russell Bolton of
Seaforth, Don Young of Auburn, Howard
Datars of Dashwood, Doug McNeil of
Goderich, Roy Pattison of Wingham,

year the match was held in Frontenac
County with a turnout of only 100,000 due
to bad weather_
Huron officials are hoping the Far-
mer's Almanac is wrong for this year.

$125 a week.
"I think it's good for the community to
help those students out," Councillor
Gibson noted.
