Irwin School of Engineering OAC, University of Guelph Weather i# the biggest risk a farm land must face. Wet periods emphasize the structural and drainage weaknesses of all soils, good and poor alike. A lot of farming involves the use of machinery which runs on the land and compacts the soil, and a solid manure handling sys- tem. Part of the calf rearing sec- tion will be a liquid manure sys- tem over slats. The entire building will be one- story, with enameled metal sid- ing. Research programs at the sta- tion will include practical re- search in such areas as cow -calf operations, steer feeding pro- grams, animal breeding, and the effects of housing on animal per- formance. Facilities will include such items as an isolation labora- tory and a digestion laboratory for assessing the digestibility of various feeds. reducing .yields and . growth of most cereal crops. The problem of timely cultiva- tion has brought an increase in the use of 100 hp tractors and SP combines. This increased power makes possible operations which were previously difficult. Some farmers are unaware of the dam- age caused by compression ofthe soil or wheel. ruts. Tractor wheels and implements slip and smear when used in wet soil. With a four-wheel-drive trac- tor, there is less wheel, slip and therefore a tendency to use it when the soil is unsuitable for cultivation. A 33 -ton tractor will compact' soil to a depth of , 10 inches and this effect will last from spring until fall. With so many farming operations, ii is not long until the entire field is compacted. Soil usually is not adversely affected by compaction when it is dry, so the key to avoiding prob- lems is to work when the weath- er's fine and to use multiple op- erations to reduce traffic in the fields., 4S1( ABOUT OUR .

Report from Queen's. Park By Murray Gaunt, MPP Ontario Place will raise its ad- mission fees because it lost $2.2 million during' its first year of operation. Admission for adults will rise from $1 to $1.50 while fees for students will increase from 50 cents to 75 cents. Those over 65 and under 12 will continue to be admitted free. Minister of Trade and Industry, John White said he was not satis- fied with'the,;first year's perfor- mance whi'ch' meant that almost $1 per head was lost for each one of the 2,300,000 persons' who visited the site. He said several c angel,, including hiring a full- Grading time manager, plus construction of additional facilities Were planned. Mr. White said he hoped the in- crease in admission fees would generate an additional „$600,000 in revenue, and this year Ontario Place's deficit should be cut to between $275,000 and $650,000. The Government,,promised one year ago that it would provide coverage for nursing homes with the exceptiont,_4-4,145e0r da This week, the minister of health Dr. Richard Potter said that nursing home operators will lose their licences if they refuse to program.

Artificial maple syrup must be labelled "artificially flavored" or carry a name such as "pancake syrup" or "table syrup" to avoid the possibility of deceiving the consumer, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. To obtain true maple products, check the label for the word "maple". Federal regulations forbid its ushe to describe syrup, sugar, taffy, or creams that are not pure maple products.

"Programs at the station will be geared to providing practical recommendations to Ontario beef producers" says Dr. T. D. Bur- gess, department of animal and poultry science, University of Guelph. He is co-ordihator of the beet' research program at the university. When completed, the building will have approximately 11/4 acres of area under one roof. Feed will be provided from 12 silos, so a variety of ration .ex- periments can be carried out at the same time. One major feed storage and preparation area will make use of the 12 silos for ration experiments with various types of forages, It is expected the unit will house approximately 600 cattle, composed of 300 steers and the remainder breeding stock. In addiction there is provision for 16 bulls to be used for physiological experimentation. The center will contain three basic management systems for finishing steers. The first will have an open front with a slatted floor over a liquid manure tank. The second will also be a slatted floor over a liquid manure tank, 'but will be an insulated enclosed unit. The' third system is a con- ventional open -front system with a manure pat% syst.ern.
