ool. biui law c

ied
There's a new amendment now in force which
clarifies the law that Ontario drivers do not have
to stop their cars when Meeting a stopped school'
bus if they are on the other side of a "median
strip", on a highway where the speed limit is
over 35 mph.
What's a median strip? It's defined as a strip
of pavement of more than 10 feet in width, or a
physical barrier (such as ° a fence), or an unpaved
strip of ground.
To simplify this further, a good rule of thumb
for motorists to follow would 'be that if they are
on the opposite side of 'a highway divided by a
non -tray ersible median', they are not required to
stop.
Otherwise, drivers must stop on nearing a
stopped bus, with red signal lights flashing, when
approaching from either the front- or the rear.
In Ontario,'some 7,000 school buses return to
the road this fall. Many of the children who travel
in these buses must cross busy highways on their
via) home. They need ) our help to get there
safely,

feed analysis service, a ration
recommendation service, and
opportunities for participation
in a number of educational -
activities.
Under : the feed analysis
service, farmers who want to
have feed sam les'
p tested for
moisture and crude protein may
use the facilities of the Feed
:analysis Laboratory at . the
University of. Guelph.
Cost of this service is $5 per
sample, payable by cheque or
money order, to be forwarded
with the samples.
At present, feeds which can
be tested are grain, roughage,
custom ' formula feeds, and
farm -mixed feeds, including
those containing a regist red
supplement. In general, the main
value of testing roughages. is to
determine protein levels in hay
and moisture levels in corn
silage', while both factors may be
significant in the case of haylage.
For . meaningful results,
careful sampling technique is
important.
Samples of all, feeds must be
sent to the laboratory in kits
provided for the purpose. These
kits are available only through
county and district offices of
the Ontario Department , of
Agriculture and Food, and
consist of appropriate container
with envelopes, plusinformation
sheets, which must accompany
each sample.
Whenm les have been
� p
tested; an analysis ,report will be
sent to the' agtikultural
representative in the county or
district concerned.
Using the report and »the
information sheets as a basis,
extension branch staff of the
Department of Agriculture and
Food" will make individual ration
recommendations for farmers.
This advisory service is part of
the educational program offered
by' the department which also
includes ,participation, on a
group basis, of interested
farmers in nutrition workshops,
in-depth courses,. and
educational meetings, aimed at
improved cropping and feeding
practices.
Further' details concerning
participation in this »program
may be obtained by contacting.
any county or district office of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture'and Food.

New OFA policy is 'unique'
What the Ontario Federation
• terms "a new era in agricultural
'history" ,Las opened . with the
offering of ` individual service
memberships by the OFA. It is
the first time in the -history of
the organization: that such
memberships have been
available.
Charles G. Munro, OFA
president, describes the
individual service membership
program as "unique in farm
organizations�m today." He
emphasizes that the individual
farmer will not be purchasing
simply a membership card in the
organization.
"The individual agricultural
producer will be buying services
to fulfil his own particular P
needs," the president said.
The individual farmer's -role as
• a manager, will be emphasized in
much of the new program. The
OFA management digests are
