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.,

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

The minister said that to en-
sure enough beds are available
for all eligible patients when the
program starts we must insist
that all licenced nursing homes
participate.
• Nursing home operators held a
private meeting Monday at the
Skyline Hotel at which they de-
bated refusing to participate in

syrup not compulsory
The flavor of pure 'maple syrup
can not be matched by imitation
products. 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.

compulsory, although standards
have been set by Federal legisla-
tion. Canada Fancy, difficult to

A new beef research center is
now under construction at the
Elora Research Station, Elora,
Scheduled for completion in late
1972, the center will be, operated
by the University of Guelph, un-
der contract to the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture and
Food.
"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.
The calf section will be an open -
front pole type with both a liquid
