Dr. J.M. deMan, head of the University's Food Science Department, has revealed the results of a light meter survey of dairy display cases of food retailers ranging from jug milk stores to supermarkets .in Taranto, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec and Halifax, at a ect of lights series of press con- ferences in these cities. "We were shocked by the light intensity in some outlets," he said. "One Agriculture changing in North The face of agriculture in northern Ontario is changing, The industry is becoming more diverse and productive. Through incentive grants, the provincial government is en- couraging development of farms and agricultural service industries, says Marcel Paulhus,, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food area coor- dinator. The Northern Ontario Agricultural Develop- ment Incentives Program provides financial assistance for innovative projects that will benefit northern Ontario agriculture. The program, an- nounced in July, is Easier way to reseed those pastures Farmers. no longer have to reseed pastures completely to restore legumes. There is an easier method: Legumes, such as alfalfa and bird's foot trefoil, tend to be short- lived compared to grasses, says Alex Skepast, head of the Agronomy Section at New Liskeard College of.. Agricultttral Technology. Traditionally, replacing legumes required plowing, disking and reseeding the entire pasture. The new method uses a grassland drill to introduce legumes into the pasture without disturbing existing grasses. "This method eliminates several costly steps for farmers," says Skepast. "It not only saves time and labor, but provides 'instant' pasture." Skepast explains that with the traditional method, grazing is im- possible until the year after seeding. With new methods, cattle can graze the pasture the same year. The direct -seeding method also reduces soil erosion. The land is not broken up and exposed to wind and water. "Direct seeding also saves energy costs," says Skepast. "Farmers save the cost of plowing and double disking. However, reduced cultivation means that farmers will probably have to control perennial broadleaf weeds with herbicides one year prior to seeding. It is important to maintain the legumes. in pastures because they contain high quality protein, and also save nitrogen. "The more active the legumes, the better the grasses will perform," he says. To obtain the most successful results, Skepast recommends grazing the pasture close to the ground prior to seeding. This will reduce competition while the legumes are growing. After seeding, the grazing should be con- trolled to allow proper establishment of legumes.

The minutes. of the previous meeting were adopted as read by the secretary, Mrs. John Daer. The treasurer, Mrs. Tom Haggitt gave, the financial statement. All signed a card to be sent to Mrs. Andrew Kirkconnell ' who is a patient in University Hospital. A discussion took place about a bale which is to be sent to St. Monica House soon and the members decided to give a donation to the budget of the church. The travelling apron was passed around and the roll call was an- swered by quoting a wise saying of King Solomon. Next meeting will be held atthe home of Mrs. Tom Haggitt on December 14.

The projects are evaluated on their ability to benefit northern Ontario agriculture, explains Paulhus. The technology used may not be new to northern Ontario, but it may be new to certain areas of the north. For example, tile drainage is common in many parts of southern Ontario. HoWever, it is relatively new to most of northern Ontario. The installation of tile drainage in northern Ontario's clay soils in- creases the variety of crops that can be grown. ••••••• • ••••••••••••• STOCK UP FOR CHRISTMAS AT OUR PRE -CHRISTMAS FOOD •••••••• •••••••••••• • fresh or frozen utility grade broiler 6-9 Ib. avg. • Individual farmers, groups of farmers, farm organizations, and small agricultural businesses located in j northern Ontario, are eligible to apply for incentive grants.

Toronto was subjecting milk in transparent. plastic bags and jugs to 450 foot candles, more than seven times the absolute maximum light intensity recommended in our study." The survey in Montreal revealed .that the light intensity ranged from 160 to 290 foot candles. In Ottawa stores, light in- tensity ranged from 320 to 160 foot candles. Quebec City dairy cases readings were from 240 to 110. Only in Halifax, in readings taken in August, has some progress been made in reducing light intensity, deMan said. Halifax readings were from 130 to 55 and generally were lower across the board. on -The origh ailluiversity of Guelph report showed that milk subjected to light for 98 hours had an almost complete loss of ascorbic acid in clear plastic pouches and returnable plastic jugs. Milk in ,Opaque , card- board cartons had about a three percent loss. "Just as important as the nutritional loss by light exposure is the fact that an oxidized off. - flavour developed in the transparent pouches and plastic jugs within six hours, and highly significant flavour changes occurred in 12 hours," he emphasized. "Milk in opaque card- board cartons showed no significant flavour change in 48 hours." "Milk is now at an historically high price, and it is Absolutely essential that the milk consumer be protected from nutritional losses and flavour deterioration," he added. "It is the food retailer's responsibility to either drastically ' curb light exposure or provide the consumer. with light- resistant opaque con- tainers. The brilliance of the light' now used is also a gross waste of our hydro resources." To insure accuracy, two types of light meters were used in the surveys, and food outlets were chosen at random. The survey also recorded the distance of the light sources from the dairy products they illuminated. /•• . •••••••• .. ••• • ••• ••• ••••••••••••• pork shoulder mbin au : • • roast •;i9 Ib.••:• ••1.39• — • 994• „ • cockfl. oz.tail ■ • tl. • orange flavour • •.
