FOR THE ABOVE ELICTORAE. DISTRICTS BY Warren R. Bailie, CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER Elections Ontario KEEPING Y O IJ i N'F O M E -D AP -3/34 Farm News Our water resources are undervalued exp rts say North America's water resources are seriously undervalued and, in many cases, being wasted. That was the message from three prominent experts on water address- ing the plenarrya,sei,l .t•1aa,ti.,,., Institute of Canada's filth annual. con- ference. Over a thousand Institute members are meeting at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Jay Lehr, executive director of the National Water Well Association of the United States, opened the session with a recorded presentation calling for greater protection of groundwater. Groundwater is often ignored as a water source in favor of more politically attractive surface water projects. This is shortsighted, says Lehr, since groundwater projects do not consume any land and usually cost less than surface water projects. Although contamination of groundwater, primarily by chemical is a serious problem, Lehr was optimistic about cleaning up the damage with relatively simple and well - proven technology. Said Lehr, "We can reduce contamination of groundwater by 90% by the year 2000. We are equal to the challenge ahead." Responding to audience questioning, Lehr drew a hearty round of applause when he advised Canada "never" to sell its water to the United States. The Americans should, he said, use their own water resources more efficiently. CONSERVATION R.L. 'Thomas of the Canada Centre for In- land Waters in Burlington, Ontario, describ- ed eastern Canada as an area of abundant rainfall, the main water issue in the region being degradation of water quality, the possibility of climatic change and large scale diversion schemes. Thomas described the process of eutrophication caused by excessive phosphorous loading into lakes, resulting in an overgrowth of plant life, depletion of ox- ygen and, ultimately, death of the. lake. Significant progress has been made in con- trolling phosphorous pollution and water quality is improving. Acid rain is of major concern in the region due to the low buffering 'capacity of many lakes and rivers in the east. Direct con- tamination of water is a very serious, pro- blem. Thomas drew . attention to the chemical contamination of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario by Hooker Chemical. As serious as such contamination is, an even more difficult problem to deal with is Untie rain. Thomas surprised many in the audience with his description of a lake located in North America's only un- distributed eco -system which is con- taminated with a variety of chemicals, in- cluding DDT and PCBs. The only possible source of contamination is rainfall. Thomas suggested that the chemi.eals were- being . carried on the wind from as far away as Central America. Control of such pollution is a global issue, requiring global solutions, underlining ' the conference theme, Water, Our Global Challenge. The main difficulty, said Thomas, is that "society does not properly value water. If oil were lost, we would learn to get along without it. If water is lost, then we are lost." Derrick Sewell of the department of geography ,at the University of Victoria, gave an entertaining and informative presentation, dressed as a Canadian of the year 2037. He reviewed the events of the "past" fifty years. Sewell's scenario includ- ed dramatically higher prices for water, serious supply problems, drought, pressure to export water to the United States and the development of more efficient ways of using water. In the long run, Sewell maintained, simple economics will bring about more ap- propriate use of water. He referred to a region of the United States where farmers are paying $13 for irrigation water which costs the government $350 to supply. Until such -economic distortions are remedied, wasteful use of water. will continue. Milk Board announces new director The Ontario Milk Marketing Board is pleased to announce the appointment of. John Karn as Director of its Production Division, effective September 1. "The producing sector of our industry is undergoing rapid and dramatic changes. Advances in. high technology and biotechnology are going to have a tremen- dous impact on the production of milk in the future. Karn, with his varied background at the Board, and his formal education in animal science is well suited to provide . leadership in this area," OMMB General Manager Lorne Hurd said. • The Production Division deals with all matters that affect individual producers and milk production on the farm. This in- cludes administering quota policies, pro- viding field services through a fieldstaff of 13 and ongoing programs to improve milk production. Mr. Karn joined the Board in 1974 as Supervisor of Field Services in the Produc- tion Division. In 1979 he transferred to the Board/Industry Relations Division to become Assistant Director and Manager of Information Programs. One year later he was appointed Director. Under his direction several new programs and approaches to public relations were introduced and the role of the Ontario Milk Producer magazine strengthened. Karn, 39, was born and raised on a dairy farm in Oxford County. He attended the University ' of Guelph where he obtained both a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science (1971),' and a Master of Science degree in Animal Breeding (1973) . He is married with three children.

Karn replaces Ross Graham, 64. Mr. Graham, was appointed Director of the Pro- duction Division in 1966. As Director, Graham was directly involv- ed in the development of many aspects of the Ontario milk marketing system, in- cluding the introduction of supply manage- ment and producer quotas for both fluid and industrial milk, the pooling iof milk shipments, the graduated entry program to allow indnstrial_milk shippers access to the fluid milk , market and the pooling of transportation charges. Agribusiness opens Sept. 3 in Centralia There is a new agribusiness in the area. On September 3, CROPCO officially opens' its doors to the public. CROPCO stands for Crop Consulting. This new company has ac- quired the consulting programs developed by C.A. Crop Consulting Services Inc. over a period of more than three years. CROPCO_is based near Centralia on HwyNo.4. The com- pany is marketing its services through a system of local franchise offices which are independently owned and operated. High quality service to farmers will be maintain- ed and built upon. CROPCO is not connected with any other company or product; CROP - CO is solely concerned with helping clients with their crop management. Crop Consulting is big business in the United States and is one of the few growth areas in the Canadianq agricultural sector. - CROPCO is another link in the chain bet- ween university and college researcher, government extension personnel, agricultural producers and other agribusinesses. As new techniques in crop management are developed CROPCO will continue to translate research findings into practical programs for farmers. It offers farmers, local consultants who can help them fine tune their crop manage- ment practices. With a system of small local franchise offices servicing an area, the con- tact between the consultant and client will be frequent and convenient. Currently F'redrich Suhr operates the office in Tiver- ton ( Bruce County) and Eric Devlaeminck runs an office from his home in Centralia ( for North Middlesex and South Huron Counties) . Today's low commodity prices mean that a producer, to remain competitive, must maximize his efficiency. "A CROPCO Crop Consultant is to crop management, what a veterinarian is to animal health or an ac- countant is to farm finance; a trained pro- fessional who works hand in hand with farmers", says CROPCO agronomist John Beardsley. CROPCO is encouraging en- trepreneurs with education and practical experience in so'' ',rid crop science to start local businesses to provide these important services. The Centralia headquarters pro- vides the vital training and support services for the franchise offices. Until additional of- fices are established, CROPCO head- - quarters is servicing contracts in Huron, Perth, and Middlesex counties. CROPCO is planning to offer their services to ober 12,000 farmers in these counties from franchise of- fices by the end of 1987 and to expand throughout Ontario.
