On Census Day, Canadian farm operators will be asked for the first time about the use of such developments as office computers and subsurface (tile) drainage systems. Mr. McInnes explained the Census of Agriculture, which will be conducted on June Cattle herd declared free of brucellosis A major co-operative effort of industry, the provinces and Agriculture Canada that began in 1950 has achieved its goal. The recent declaration of Ontario as brucellosis -free means the virtual eradication of this serious disease from the domestic cattle herd. All ten provinces and the territories have now been granted brucellosis -free status by the federal government. No known outbreak of the disease has occurred in Canadian cattle since March 1984. Brucellosis is a contagious disease that causes abortion and production losses in cattle. It can also cause an, illness in humans known as undulant fever. Cattle will now be able to move freely throughout Canada without restriction. Based on past experience, the elimination of the disease will also aid the entry of Canadian cattle into the U.S. market. Canada can now join the relatively small group of countries that have eradicated the disease from their cattle populations. These include the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland, "Only the complete and undivided support of the beef and dairy industries has made this achievement possible," Agriculture Minister John Wise said. "It stands as an international model in the application of animal health programs." Constant vigilance by both industry and government will be required to ensure that bovine •brucellosis remains a disease of the past in Canada. Baking .buddies learn nutrition BY CONNIE MCCLURE The McKillop 4-H club decided to hold its hake sale on Saturday at the arena beginning at 9 a.m. Twelve members attended the fourth meeting of the Baking Buddies held recently at the home of Sherri Rumford.

"The 1986 questionnaire will also ask farmers for information on crops, livestock, and farm machinery, and will address farm business practices such as fertilizer and pesticide use."

Questions in the 1986 Census of Agricul- ture have been designed to make the information more useful and responsive to evolving issues in agriculture and to regional concerns. And, for the first time, each farm operator will receive, along with the questionnaire, an explanation of why the various questions are being asked. As in the past, for cost efficiency, the Census of Agriculture will be carried out in conjunction with the Census of Population. "Despite the more comprehensive nature of the 1986 Census of Agriculture, the total cost in real terms will be lower than that for the 1981 Census because of a variety of cost-saving measures," Mr. McInnes noted. Mr. McInnes assured farmers responding to the 1986 Census of Agriculture that any information supplied to enumerators is strictly confidential. All employees of the Census are required to take an oath of secrecy and are liable to fines or imprisonment, or both, should they violate this oath. "This has been a decade of important technological and economic change in agri- culture," Mr. Wise added. "The information provided by the 1986 Census of Agriculture will help us maintain our standing in the international market, and ensure the continued development of nation- al agricultural programs and policies." ¶mARKETS SAVE 600 CLOVERLEAF FLAKED LIGHT TUNA 6.5oz TIN .89 CHEF -BOY -AR -DEE PASTA .89 BEt1 CHICKEN 054(11.0. 00 df 25 LIPTON LOT'S OF NOODLES .99 .nrE LF'S 3509 SCALLOPED POTATOES 2.39 SAUERKRAUT 3207 1.39 HEISTIE 5 PLAINT RITZ CRACKERS 2.09 HAnPr H0U0 POPCORN (kg '1.69 AVE $1.00 OTTONELLE BATHROOM TISSUE ASS'T COLOURS 2 ROLL PACK 1 PLY 1.39 IMO 5,51 SOF MARGARINE 112 Tub 1.19 C WDC TELLA GOLDEN RAISINS 1750 1.59 CUT -RITE REFILLS 10n 1.49 SuTAR OR CHEESE TOP CHOICE BURGERS 'kg 2.29 BEE' GAINS BURGERS 119 2.29 CAT FOOD .47 AVE 700 GULF PREMIUM 10W30 MOTOR OIL 1 LITRE , AVE 80t VIVA PAPER TOWELS WHITE 2 ROLL PACK . 89 AVE 400 SAVARIN POT PIES FROZEN BEEF.
