In a move designed to reduce
summer smog, Ontario is lowering
the levels of volatile organic com-
pounds (VOC) allowed in summer -
grade gasoline, the province's envi-
ronment minister announced last
week.
"This new gasoline formulation
will reduce the evaporation from
your car's fuel tank of chemicals
which help form summer smog,"
says James Bradley, environment
minister.
A regulation adopted under the
Environmental Protection Act sets a
10.5 pounds -per -square -inch (psi)
limit on VOC in gasoline leaving
the refinery gate between July 1
and Sept. 1 this year. (The gasoline
generally will be available at retail-
ersm July 15 to Sept. 15.)
e previous VOC limit was 11.5
psi. The VOC change will reduce
smog by reducing the evaporation
of ozone -forming VOC from filling
station pumps and automobile fuel
tanks, which occurs most on hot
summer days.
The change will reduce gasoline
evaporation from tanks and pumps
in Ontario by an estimated 15 per
cent. The ministry estimates that
Ontario -generated smog formation
(from both automobile fuel and
industrial sources) will be reduced
by eight to 10 per cent — both
locally and for hundreds of kilome-
tres downwind.
In warm summer air, evaporated
VOCs react in the presence of sun-
light with nitrogen oxides to pro-
duce ground -level ozone, a major
component of summer smog. Most
smog is found downwind of the
sources of its ingredient pollutants.
Last summer's smog buildups
were largely the result of a circular
movement of air, with upwind air
pollution causing most of the smog
afflicting any particular area.
Under the regulation, Ontario
has the lowest VOC requirement
for summer -grade gasoline in
Canada. The summer VOC level in
the rest of Canada is 11.5 psi.
The Eastern premiers and New
England governors agreed recently
to work toward 9.0 psi as soon as
practical. Beginning this summer, a
group of eight Northeastern states
is phasing in a move to 9.0 psi.

addition to causing as much as $23

crops, can attack human lungs,

Consider crop cover for winter
Many farmers have added cereals
to their crop rotations to help
reduce the erosion problems from
continuous row crops.
After the grain is harvested, how-
ever, the ground often is left bare
until next spring. This is an ideal
opportunity to plant a cover or
green manure crop and reap some
of the many benefits, according to
the Huron Soil and Crop Improve-
ment Association:
Most farmers will remember that
last winter there were more brown
banks than white. Maintaining a
cover crop over winter, however,
greatly reduces erosion by wind
and water. A cover crop also
increases soil organic matter, which
improves soil structure and tilth,
and expands its moisture -holding
capacity as well. A vigorous cover
crop will reduce weed growth
through competition for light and
moisture. Legumes. can provide
nitrogen for the subsequent crop,
while non -legumes will capture
residual nutrients which would
have otherwise leached into the
groundwater.
Several species are suitable for
cover crops, depending on your
individual situation. An ideal cover
crop will establish quickly ineexist-'
ing soil conditions and produce
abundant top growth. It will not be
host for diseases and pests of the
crop to follow, and it will be easily
killed so it doesn't become a weed
in subsequent crops. It should also
be relatively inexpensive and not

require extensive extra fertilizer.
Cover cops can be established as
easily as by discing a field to
encourage germination of volunteer
cereals or it could have been plant,
ed last -spring by broadcasting red
clover into wheat or barley. Many
cover crops, such as 'fall rye or
oilseed radish, are planted into crop
residue in late summer or early fall
to allow top growth before winter.
Any system can work as long as it
is adapted to the conditions on
your farm.
Dairy prices
to stabilize
Fluid milk sales are expected to
show little change in the coming
year. Canadians will enjoy fairly
stable prices for dairy products but
this is not likely to change their
patterns of consumption.
Butter consumption has leveled
off although production has
increased eight percent. This has
prompted the export of 2.5 million
kilograms of unsalted butter. A
domestic promotion campaign is
being considered for this fall to
enhance butter consumption.
Specialty cheese consumption is
not growing a quickly as it has in
recent years. Prices are expected to
remain stable.
Industrial milk and cream ship-
ments rose 3.7 per cent despite
unchanged quotas. Production of
49.1 million hectolitres is forecast
for 1988-89, four per cent over
quota.
Total shipments of fluid and
industrial milk rose 2.3 per cent
from August 1988 to March 1989
over the same period a year earlier.
This was entirely due to increased
industrial milk shipments as there
has been no growth in the fluid
milk sector.
In August, the Canadian Milk
Supply Management Committee
(CMSMC) will set the Market Share
Quota (MSQ) for the 1989-90 dairy
year, which begins Aug. 1, 1989.
Since 1987-88, the MSQ has
remained unchanged at 47.3 million
hectolitres.
The Canadian Dairy Commission
expects domestic requirements to
fall slightly in 1988-89 and remain
stable or decline slightly in 1989-90,
possibly prompting a small reduc-
tion in MSQ. As a result, a two -
cent decline in production is foe
cast for 1989-90 to 48.15 million
hectolitres.
Target returns for industrial milk
and support prices for butter and
skim milk powder will be reviewed
before Aug. 1, 1989. Short-term
measures agreed to at the GATT
mulilateral trade negotiations in
April 1989, will figure in the review
along with cost of production sur-
veys and revenues for dairy proces-
sors.
The recent federal budget has
eliminated the direct $6.03 -per -
hectolitre payment on 1.1 million
hectolitres of milk produced for
exports. The budget has also ended
funding of skim milk powder mar-
keting keting costs as of Aug. 1, 1989.
However, the full export portion of
the MSQ will likely continue to be
produced, since strong world prices
may mean lower in -quota and over -
quota levies.
International prices for most
dairy products weakened slightly
in early 1989. The exception is but-
ter prices which are holding firm.
Continued strength of the U.S.
dollar could moderate pressure
for higher world dairy prices in
coming months.
NEW POST OFFICE
The spanking new post office on
Wingham's main street opened its
doors to the public in April of 1968.
W. R. Hamilton, local optometrist,
longest active businessman on
Wingham's maim street, received
his mail from Postmaster Gordon
Sutcliffe. He had been served by
three postmasters and one post-
mistress, Miss Fisher, A. H. Mus-
