In this year's conference there were 12 to 14 entries in each division, Naturally the competition was of high calibre Dietilleries are receiving an increase in profits equivalent to $3.00 for every bushel of corn they use, while Ontario corn growers are receiving less than their cost Of production, The recent increase in the price of spirits announced in the provincial budget by the Hon. Darcy McKeough is turning out to be a windall for Canadian distilleries. This price increase will raise eight million dollars for the provincial government, 0.7 millions dollars for the federal government and six million dollars for the distilling industry. Blake Sanford, Co-ordinator for Region 3 (Ontario) of the National Farmers' Union, said Wednesday at a meeting of Local 340 at Harriston, that this six million dollars in profit will be heaped on top of the profits already enjoyed by the distilleries, while corn producers are forced to sell corn below their cost of production. Forty percent of the increase is going to the distilleries or approximately 10 cents per bottle (26 oz.) Estimating that the distilleries extract 30 bottles of liquor from a bushel of corn, this represents an increase to the distillery of $3.00 (over and above previous profits) for every bushel of corn used, or $240.00 per acre Home gardeners can assure themselves of a good looking lawn and garden this year by following the month-by-month instructions in John Bradshaw's Lawn and Garden Guide. Mr. Bradshaw is one of Canada's outstanding horticulturists and is well known through his radio and television programs for home gardeners. This straight forward, easy to understand guide is available free from Canadian Industries Limited lawn and garden products dealers.

The corn grower at present is receiving gross returns of $1.10 per bushel or $88.00 for the same 80 bushels of corn. Mr. Sanford said that similar increases in returns were also granted to the breweries and wine manufacturers. Many people in Ontario were of the opinion when price changes were announced for alcoholic beverages in the Ontario budget that the increases were all taxes but are now finding out that the booze industry is also increasing already substantial profits with government approval and assistance. "Industrial giants like Seagrams, who last year had a profit of 66 million and Walkers who showed a profit of 48 million will be able to increase their profits in spite of inflation, while corn growers and farmers in general will face bankruptcy as inflation takes over. The projected realized net income for Ontario farmers in 1972 will be at its lowest level in the last ten years. As a farmer I am not asking the government to camouflage any price increases that I may receive, but only ask for government policies that will guarantee the survival of the family farm as the main source of food production in our country," Mr. Sanford said. are listed the subjects covered, namely: lawn, vegetables, roses, flowers, trees, hedges, shrubs and garden information. Reading across opposite each subject are simple, month-by-month instructions for proper care. One of the outstanding features of the guide is the manner in which it has reduced proper lawn and garden care to a series of simple steps, which if performed at the correct time of year, will assure the home gardener of the desired results. Other useful information contained on the back of the guide includes: pruning and clipping, basic house plant care, how to grow the perfect lawn, how to grow a perfect garden, make your own compost, how to spread fertilizer and avoid grass-burn, and plants for the shade. The "plants for the shade" section is in chart form and includes flowers, trees, hedges, vegetables, and herbs. The flower section is divided into annuals, biennials and perennials, and indicates those which are low, medium, tall, climbers, or bushy, to help you plan your flower beds. John Bradshaw's lawn and Garden Guide will help the amateur gardener achieve professional results, and for the More skilled gardener act as a reminder of those jobs that require attention, and it's available for the asking.

L, Eggens of the Department of Horticultural Science at the' University of Guelph is a turf specialist and his turfgrass variety trials conducted at the Horticultural Research Station in Preston are the largest, and most extensive programs of their kind in Canada. The programs started four years ago, in 1968. There are well over 350 entries in the program which is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Research results are utilized by the sod industry, worth in excess of $50 million in Ontario. Dr. Eggens alsoprovides grass varieties for the work of other scientists at the University. At the research station the eight acres of turf are treated the same as the average home lawn. On the light sandy loam soil the grass is watered when necessary, although untreated with herbicides foe weed removal, It is cut at a height of 11 /a inches. There are four plots of each variety representing 1968, 1969, 1970, and the most recent 1971 plantings. A test plot is four feet by eight feet. Dr. Eggens evaluates each variety with a rating from zero to a high of ten. Rated characteristics include density, disease resistance, winterhardiness, color, vigor, and texture. The testing takes place from April to November with the results averaged at the end of the season. The most crucial examination INDUSTRIAL FASTBALL MEETING May 3, 8:00 p.m. at CLINTON COMMUNITY CENTRE _17b period is the hot summer months of July and August. If a variety stands up well in this period, it is likely to be of fairly good quality, says Dr. Eggens, The Departmental Research Institute of Ottawa has already licensed some of the varieties with the Plant Products Division. These are sold under such names as Baron Kentucky bluegrass, Fylking Kentucky bluegrass, Penncross creeping bentgrass, and many others. Licensing, of any of the more than three hundred other varieties, will depend on the test results, "The testing has been conducted for only a short time," says Dr. Eggens. "The results could change significantly over the next five years or so. Some varieties appear good now but natural occurrences in the future could change their standing." Merion bluegrass seems good for Ontario lawns although Dr. Eggens points out it is not at all satisfactory in western Canada. Kentucky bluegrass is good and survives in sunny areas while creeping red fescue is a shade- tolerant home variety. The perennial ry,egrasses are known as "nurser grass". They germinate quickly, in about four deys,'and provicI6 'neede'd for the seeds of more slowly developing varieties.
