The executive committee, chaired by Blyth Reeve Robbie J. Lawrie, is still studying the pro- posal. Reaction Friday of county councillors present was cool. One councillor suggested that if the provincial ministry wanted the study done, perhaps the pro- vincial government should finance it, Warden Anson McKinley ex- plained to council that the main reason for the proposed study was to determine the long-term effect of the landfill method of garbage disposal on adjacent soil, plant life and water, In other matters under the jurisdiction of the executive com- mittee, word was received that the Experience '75 grant money di frA 'has been approved and the county history project will con- tinue tangier Project Co-ordinator Cathy McKinley, daughter of Warden and Mrs. Anson Mc- Kinley, Stanley Township.

Fast. The Government of 011tarlOp Sthtreowuarght, Itititistr" WillianL *. and Food, announced a Guaran- teed Credit PrOgrain .for Young Farmers in the Legislature the 1st of May. tInder the new pro- gram, young farmers or potential farmers between the ages or 18 and 35 will be able to Obtain prov- incial guaranteed intermediate- term loans for farm development purposes. The program will apply to young farmers entering farming for the first time; for farmers wanting to rent land or for farm- ers owning land and wishing to rent additional acres. Each loan will be for a period of up to ten years, without an upper limit. The first two years may re- quire only the payment of inter- est, depending on conditions and circumstances, with the remain- ing eight years requiring princi- pal plus interest payments. The rate of interest will be prime plus one per cent. The new intermediate term credit program will tie into the government's program of main- taining governmentowned land in agricultural production in situations such as the North Pickering and Townsend pro- jects. By providing the opportu- nity to rent agricultural land, the credit package should generate sufficient cash flow over a Per104 of years to assist a young farmer in the eventual purchase of his ,pyrt farm. "I can see where more and more young men would be en- couraged to lease Private lands held by- developers and private owners, around urban centers," said Mr. Stewart. "This rented land means a young person' can launch his farming career or indeed expand an existing farm operation while avoiding the ob- stacle of land costs until a repay- ment capacity is generated.' • Loan applications will be mttde through the local agricultural representative's office in each county, and will be processed through an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Commit- tee. Applicants will work out with Ministry staff the at/taunt, terms and repayment schedules, based on the borrowers repayment capacity. Included in the con- sultation process is the require- ment for a satisfactory produc- tion plan for the =farm. All in- quiries should be directed to the local county °illegal the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food where application forms should be available within the next three weeks. Borg.

The Annual Spring South River Feeder Sale held °May 15 in the , Parry Sound District Livestock Co -Operative Association's sales arena, brought a high of $38.50, for a lot of 12 Hereford steers averaging 440 lbs. In spite of the fact that many farmers were get- ting very low in hay, the cattle were in much better condition than many had expected. Actual- ly they were in good pasture con- dition, with some ready for the butcher freezer trade. The light showers of the previ- ous, evening and that morning. brought many spectators, and the arena was fairly well filled to -see the 431 head sold. Bidding was not brisk but Auctioneer Vern Shep- herdson kept the lots selling fair- ly qUickly and the sale wita`over by 2:30 p.m. In all, it was a buy- er's market. ii614141r; Prices were 10 tower, house Than fast Year, with the lighter • cattle approximately 12 cents lower. Prices in the Edgar Tree well cour save your tree' Imagine new subdivisions where large \ trees shade the lawns and houses. "They are hard to find," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist R. A. Fleming. "Many subdivisions are scraped clean of all vegetation before development begins. Even when established trees are left, they frequently die from injuries caused by excavation and land grading. Excessive amounts of fill dumped on tree roots also cause death." According to Mr. Fleming, more trees could be saved if tree wells or retaining walls were pro- perly built around them. These must he planned before fill is added or a grade changed so that room can be left for their con- struction. The tree and an area beneath the spread of the branches—a minimum radius of 10 feet from the trunk—should be protected from machinery and earth -moving equipment. Most tree wells require a radiating grid of drainage tile or loose stone fill, vertical tile con- nected to the loose stone fill or the tile grid, and'a wall of tile, brick, cement blocks, cut stone, or field- stone. For safety, metal or wood- en grating may alsb be needed. The diameter of the circular wall depends on the age of the tree. While a mature tree re- quires a diameter only slightly larger than that of its trunk, a rung tree needs a diameter large enough to accommodate anticipated growth.
