ASSIST. government pressure.:.. • from page 12 Even with these programs, the minister said the government still has a number of areas to tackle: One problem is farm size, and he said the government still has to address the issue of farm ownership. While non- resident ownership has been studied, and legislation passed, he said ,there are still people buying \farmland and speculating on it. He added the government also .plans toask for legislation on the use of - farmland. . Mr. MacMurchy was asked what the age limits were for .farmers in- volved inthe program. He said there's no age cutoff, since a point system. is used to decide who's most qualified for the programs and age is considered as one of the factors in totalling points. He said there is a good deal of competition for Land Bank farms and 1 that there are from 10 to 30 applications for every farm available for lease which means "one guy is happy and 19 guys are mad!". The minister added there is an appeal mechanism built in to the procedure but added even with that, administering the program "is not •without its political problems." . Murray Cardiff i• -..MP fort Huron -Bruce, asked if more Iand is offered for sale that: the committee can afford to buy. Mr. MacMurchy said there is, and added while the Land Bank does compete on the market for farms, they make only one offer to a farmer and don.'t bargain. He said their offer is determined by the average price for farms offered in an area over the past six months. He told federation members andthe press that Land Bank also has to compete for government funds with other . corporations • like Sask Power and Saskatchewan Potash, etc. Bill Morley, Huron County reeve, asked the minister if farmland is increasing in._price in his province.' Mr. MacMurchy said land is likely increasing faster in price in Ontario : than Saskatchewan, since there isn't the urban pressure in his pravince. In response to a question on how longnon- resident• owners and corporations have to divest themselves- of Saskatchewan farmland - purchased prior to 1980,. he said they must have divested themselves of the land by 1984. , Mr. MacMurchy wase also asked about farm machinery legislation in his province, and more about the issue of pressuring the provincial government here , to. tackle the issues of ab- sentee ownership of Huron County farmland.

With, today's prices of fertilizer, manure has changed from a waste product to a valuable commodity, To get the niost value from manure, you have to know what it contains. Manure can be tested through the Soil Testing and Plant Analysis Lab, University of Guelph. Sample bottles and in- formation sheets may be obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and • Food Office, Clinton at $1.50 per kit. Liquid Manure - Liquid manure in storage should be mixed well before sampling. From the t crrov-g-h+y--nrix-ed- manure, take a dipper full from each of several parts of the storage and place in a plastic pail. Mix the contents of the pail thoroughly and then transfer one half litre to the enclosed shipping container or. to a wide mouth one litre ' or .32 ounce plastic jar, If sampling is done when spreading, take a dipper fromeach tanker load instead of from . different parts of the .storage, Solid manure - Clear a. mixing, area on the floor or set out a sheet of clean plywood, Take samples from various parts of the pile,as deeply as feasible, and place on the mixing surface. If manure is being spread on land take one sample from each of a number of loads. Using a fork or shovel, chop the manure and mix thoroughly, then spread out the sample and divide into quarters. Discard three quarters, thoroughly mix the remainder and again d vide into quarters and discard three. Continue until the, remaining quarter is about 1/2 litre volume. Transferto the enclosed shipping con- tainer or a wide mouth one litre or 32 -ounce plastic jar.
