J, T. McCauley, club leader, conducted the election of officers as follows: President, Graham Craig; vice-president, Carl French; secretary, Margaret Kernick; press reporter, Larry Hern. Discussion regarding forest conservation under the following topics, forest values, plant fam- ilies, forest environment and for- est management was held. At their meeting last week, Usborne Township council agreed top ay a portion of the cost in- volved in improving the street lighting in Kirkton. The department of highways will contribute half the cost of street lighting on the highway and the councils of Usborne and Blanshard have agreed to pay 50% of the remaining cost. The Kirkton Community As- sociation will pay 25% of the re- mainder and each ratepayer in the hamlet will have to pay the 25% balance. It is expected the cost for each property owner would be about $17,50. Usborne's share of the pro- ject, which will bp based on about 20 residents from the township living in Kirkton, will be ap- proximately about $600, Council are advised that of- ficial confirmation has been re- ceived from the Municipal Sub- sidies Branch that the cabinet centennial committee had ap- proved the Hurondale memorial project as a centennial project for the township. The war memorial is present- ly located on the former school grounds at Hurondale and will be moved to the northwest sec- tion of the grounds at the Us- borne central school. This site has been offered by the school board and the me- morial is expected to be moved within the next month or two by T. Pryde & Son, Exeter. Cost to redesign and erect the memorial on the new school grounds has been estimated at $1,500. Council will also have to supply a centennial plaque. This cost is split equally be- tween the federal, provincial and municipal government. SUGGESTS MEETING t)ashwood ambulance operator Harry Hoffman advised council of the need for assistance to al- low him to meet the recent gov- ernment regulations for ambul- ance operators and carry on his business. All area councils have receiv- ed letters from him. Usborne Reeve Roy Westcott suggested that a meeting of all area councils would be the best way to deal with the matter. As yet, no meeting has been planned. In other business, council: Learned from warble fly in- spector Allen Fletcher that 9,549 head of cattle had been treated during the first spray and that the second treatment had been started. Received a petition from Thomas Hern and others in the Zion area for a municipal drain and referred the matter to J. A.. Howes, engineer, for a survey and report. Accepted the tender of Lee Jennison, Grand Bend, for sup- plying and delivering approxi- mately 80 tons of liquid calcium chloride for the township roads. His price was $49.50 per flake ton equivalent, Authorized the road superin- tendent to call tenders for the supply of weed spray material. Received a letter from J. W. Gardiner complaining that the township dump was open for only half a day a week. Council took no action on the matter. • -r AND MYERS PTO Operated, bonded tanks, designed for the new and fu- ture chemicals that require constant agitation.

Special care is extremely im- portant when using chemical weed killers in Flemish varieties of alfalfa, Associate Agricultural Representative Don Pullen said this week. Flemish varieties such as Al- fa, Dupuits, Glacier, Mega and Saranac will not tolerate 2,4-D, MCPA or MCPB. It is there- fore recommended that in cer- eal grains underseeded to these Mz. & Mrs. Arnold Cunningham and family were Sunday visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Cun- ningham and family.

Periodically, articles ap- pear in the various newspap- ers by men who feel they are providing a service to the farmer. Many of their state- ments are based on partial facts and, when analyzed, bear no relationship to the actual Programs as recommended by this Company. Their articles deal only with the 'commercial value' of a fertilizer; that is, a cost com- parison of the so-called major nutrients in a ton of fertilizer. By this, they fail to take into consideration the source of the nutrients being used to make up any particular formulation, as any particular analysis of a 'dry fertilizer' can vary as much as ten to twenty dollars per ton, depending on th e source of Nitrogen, Phosphor- us or Potash used in the blend. They do not consider the agri- cultural value of a fertilizer which sets a much different value on the source of nu- trients than does the 'com- mercial value'. Yearly, thousands of farm- ers from all areas of Canada and the United States are re- peatedly using "Na-Churs" Programs to produce their top crops. If you ask yourself this question: ("If I had an operation that used from $10,- 000 to $15,000 worth of fer- tilizer per year, would I buy one that did not give me the best return for my invest- ment?") Many farmers, whose annual fertilizer bill runs from the $10,000 to $15,000 bracket are now on the "Na- Churs" full Program, many for their fourth and fifth year. With these farmers, as with leading farmers across the nation, it's profit after costs that count. varieties ofalfalfa that 2,4-DB at 20 oz. acid per acre be used as the safest chemical for con- trol of many broad leafed weeds. Standard types of alfalfa such as Vernal and Narragansett also have a very low tolerance to 2,4-D (2 oz, per acre), MCPA (4 oz. per acre) and no toler- ance to MCPB. Although 20 oz. per acre of 2,4-DI3 (butyric form) is more costly, it will not harm the alfalfa and will give good control of many broad leafed weeds. For cereal grain fields not underseeded with legumes, stan- dard 2,4-D products are very Mr. Laverne Daley has made extensive improvements to the property he purchased from the late Ida Hardy estate. Mr. Milt Lightfoot has accepted the position as caretaker for Marr's Hill Cemetery. The 104th anniversary of St. Mary's Church, Brinsley, will be observed at 11:00 am Sunday. The guest preacher will be the Rev. S. Bell, rector of Kirkton, Granton and Saintsbury. Mr. Bell is a native of Ireland and at one time was Dean of the cathedral in Timmins. . Some of the experts claim that you cannot replace a good soil fertility program with a 2-gallon foliar spray alone. "Na-Churs" fully agrees with this statement and does not promote such a recommenda- tion. The "Na-Churs" Pro- gram is a system of soil bal- ancing and improvement by soil testing through its soil testing laboratories in both Canada and the United States. This soil test covers ten plant nutrients, pH and Water Holding capacity — one of the best soil tests available on this continent. Through this test, recommendations a r e made where required quan- tities of nutrients in the dry form are used to balance the soil, taking into consideration all the soil factors. A liquid 'starter' or 'pop- up' fertilizer is then recom- mended to be applied directly on the seed as it is planted. To complete the program one or more foliar sprays of the liquid fertilizer, depending on the crop, is recommended to supply the plant with a balanc- ed feeding during critic al growth periods, such as the usual drought periods we ex- perience during late June, July and August. The point the farmer should consider is not 'Cost before profit', but 'Profits after Cost'. That is by actual ex- perience, if he obtained a better financial return per dollar invested on his liquid fertilizer program and in ad- dition, he improves the soil conditions on his farm, then, regardless of the cost of the plant food units, this is the one he should use. We are all aware of one fact that often the cheapest is the most expensive. (adv.) effective arid are considered as low cost weed killers. Weed spray operators should always remember that it Is not good enough when moving from a field not underseeded to one seeded with alfalfa to "simply Cut the rate of 2,4-D in half and hope for the best." More complete information a- bout weed control in various crops is outlined in Publication 75 entitled "1067 Guide to Chem- ical Weed Control", available from your closest office of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture.and Food.- "Above all, herbicides should be applied at recommended rates following manufacturers' labell- ed directions at the prescribed application time", Mr. Pullen said.
