Start with the labeled Lasso® herbicide tank mix that fits your weed and carryover problems in corn... Lasso plus atrazine for broad- spectrum control in corn. Preemergence Lasso plus atrazine tank mix controls major grasses like crabgrasses, yellow and green foxtails, and more. Carryover possibility is minimized because Lets° alone doesn't carryover and you'll use less atrazine in the tank mix. Lasso plus Bladexl for specific weed control with no carryover. This preemergence tank mix also controls many labeled weeds including crabgrasses, yellow and green foxtails. And it is ideal for the farmer who is concerned about rotation ... because it gives good weed control performance with no carryover. 1. Bladex is a registered trademark of the Shell Chemical Company.

The highlight of the summer season is expected to be the July 5 declaration of the site as a Federal Historic Monument by the Ministry of Indian and Northern Affairs, when a plaque and momument will be unveiled at the site during the official ceremonies which are now being planned. The Huron Historic Jail Board, which operates the site in co-operation with the Huron County Council, is enthused about the new season, particularly in view of last year's financial operations. 1974 Revenues totalled $7799.52 which includes general , admissions and $1207.60 in donations. Expenditures totalled $3127.26, leaving a working surplus in excess of $4600. The Board has struck a balanced budget of approximately $16,000 for 1975. Harry Bosnell has been retained as the Jail Administrator for the 1975 season. Under his direction, during April, a number of changes and improvements have been made. The Governor's house has been further restored `with the downstairs area receiving the attention at this time. .The building is being tarnished under the direction of Dorothy Wallace, Refurbishing Committee 'Chairman, in consultation with Dorothy Duncan of the Provincial Ministry of Culture and Recreation. The facility will operate with the assistance of 8 area young people who have received approval for an OFY grant project called "Rehabilitation 1840". The project includes exterior maintenance, preparation of a research document based on the available archives of Huron County and the original records of the Canada Company which are housed in Toronto, and acting as hosts for the public during the season's operation. All activities will be undertaken in costumes to re-create the lifestyle of the 1840's, the time of the original construction. It is hoped that the summer season will present a schedule of special events at the jail site.A number of theatre presentations are under discussion. A group of Huron County artisans will exhibit their arts during the summer in the main courtyard.. As an added attraction, the site will be a stopping point for a Southwestern OntarioAntique car rally. A summer schedule will be published as soon as all dates are finalized. ******** Dogs were valuable during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.

Historic Huron jail opens May 17 Proposed changes in liquor regulations that will require bars to serve ayai "ety of drinks, including milk an coffee, are welcomed 'by th Ontario Federation of Agricul re. "Milk in the ba is a good idea," Gordon Hill, OFA president, said in Toronto. "Bars are convenient, convivial places for people to congregate but alternatives to alcohol should be available, particularly in a highly mobile society that dpends g&atly on the automobile." The Addiction Research Foundation sayd the trend in the past five to six years has been toward going out to drink in a bar or pub. This is particularly true for young people but older people are following the trend as well. ' "Alternative beverages are becoming more necessary as more people visit bars and drive, " Mr. Hill said.

Proper seed treatment not only results in increased emergence, but pro- tects the young plants lrom the disease commonly knovIn as bailey brown rot. This disease is common in both Perth and Huron Counties and is probably the main reason for yield reductions in barley fields he said. The disease starts by irregular emergence of planted seed. The seed sometimes gerrninates, but fails to emerge. Root systems of the plants that do come up are Huron Perth Presbytery of the United Church meeting in Thamesview United Church, Fullarton, on Tuesday elected as chairman Rev. Bert, Daynard of Staffa. Vice chairman is Rev. Cecil Wittich of *Blyth. After considerable debate the members of the. Presbytery questioned the support its highest Court, General Council has given to the California grape and lettuce boycott.A resolution was passed asking the General Council to (1) Meet with the other Church bodies that joined with it in ,the boycott issue, to re-examine the whole situation, and,(2) institute a study, from the viewpoint of christian ethics, into the economic forces being used today such as boycotts, strikes, crop destruction, excess profits, cartel's and monopolies. The meeting dealt with two other social issues during the day-long sessioil.Rev. John ' Beaton of Centralia; introduced a m otion asking that Presbytery strongly object to the change in Ontario law that allows children to drink alcoholic beverages at home. Notice of this action is to be sent to the Government of Ontario. The Division of World Outreach, under the chairmanship of Rev.George Ball of Milverton, also presented a motion involving the Ontario Government. It asked that all members of United Church congregationS write personal letters to Premier William Davis, urging the Ontario Government to "match dollar-for-dollar, the monies given voluntarily by the citizens of Ontario through international agencies, and churches for socio-economic, self- help development programs in the third world". This is a similar resolution that was contained in a Brief presenting• to the Government in January by the Ontario Council of Churches. Rev. Walton • Tonge, of StewardShip • Services of the United Church, was the guest of Presbytery in the afternoon, and made a major presentation On a new visitation program. the "Commitment Plan". Mr. Tonge has been touring Canada introducing the plan, which has been developed , by 15 Denominations in the U.S. and Canada. The Church too, he said, needs to make adjustments in a period' of recession, and thus the need for a unified approach. The Church begins with commitment, and that is what the plan first seeks to increase../It uses the terminology of football to generate interest and understanding, and comes with a Series of kits. Mr. Tonge concluded that churches who use the program =Jae assured of three results: 1. A deepened spiritual life in the congregation 2. The iiivolvenient of peOple in great numbers. 3.

This disease can be retarded by treating the seed with a fungicide according to Mr. Lynch. This ailOws the seed to become established disease free. How- ever, the plant can still become infected by disease organism in the soil after being established. If a systetnic fungicide is applied the fungicide is taken up by the plant and this will protect the seedling from soil-borne sources, but damage is unlikely to be severe. Asia. He then went on to say that, "I am convinced that the form of Communism that is now taking over Viet Nam and Cambodia, is far, different than the type of which we normally think. "In fact, he felt that it was the best alternative to the corruption that now exists in these countires: Wi can have no idea of what goes on, he said, and thus it will take a "puritanical, highly-disciplined group" to overcome it.. t concluded, however, that great good will eventually come after . five to ten' year period of Communist domination. The people will one day develop their own government and future. A number of local Cluirches will be experiencing changes in Ministers at the end of June. It was learned that Rev. Clarence McClenaghan 'will be leaving Dungannon, and Rev. Murray Aspden of Millbank has accepted a call to the Binbrook Charge near Hamilton. The new Minister coming to Grand Bend is Rev. Harley Moore' from Cedar Springs, Ontario and Rev. Larry King of Little Current, Ontario, will begin a new pastorate at Fordwich. Centennial United Church, Stratford, has called Rev. Ross Cummings from Port Elgin farmer. You may have read in the news that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture wants something done in this regard. We need some government assistance to get the ball rolling and the vast majority of farmers who have been polled' so far, support the farm income insurance plan. Simply stated, it says that the farmer with the help of the government should build up a fund in times of high prices and pay out of it if prices fall below the cost of production level. To show the difference between the way a farmer sells his product and the way an urban business- flip does, Mrs. Joan Stadelman of Blyth sent me the following: "A farmer bought a new car after spending a lot of time pricing them. By coincidence, a few days later, the dealer who sold the car appeared at his farm gate and wanted to buy a cow for his hobby farm. The farmer ,quickly wrote out the following and handed it to the dealer: Basic cow $200. Two-tone exterior $45. Extra stomach $75. Produce storage compartment $60. Dispensing devices (4 at $10 each) $40. Genuine cowhide upholstery $125. Automatic fly swatter $35.. • Dual horns $15. Plus tax and delivery $595. Total ' charge $1190."
