THE BRUSSELS POST, JULY 11 1 1979 —
Huron. F of A wants trespass law changes
BY ALICE GIBB
The land use committee of
the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture has recom-
mended that Attorney .Gen-
eral Roy McMurtry consider
some changes to the pro-
posed legislation on tres-
passing on privately-owned
land.
The government is propos-
ing to replace the Petty
Trespass. Act with two new
pieces of legislation - the
Occupiers' Liability Act and
the Trespass to Property Act.
The attorney general
recently requested public
It's not too early to be
checking for Armyworm.
They can best be detected by
examining crops frequently
during early evening, just
before sunset. At this time,
the caterpillars are moving
up the plants to-feed. They
hide under clumps of grass
and clods of 'dirt during the
day.
Armyworms are brown to
dark green in colour with five
stripes on their bodies. They
are 11/2 inches long when
fully grown.
Five to six larvae per
'Insects
may sap
alfalfa
reaction to the proposed
legislation.
Gordon Hill of Varna,
chairman of the land use
committee. said his commit-
tee recognizes the proposals
outlined in the new acts are a
definite improvement to the
current situation existing
under the Petty Trespass
Act.
Under the proposed legis-
lation, the maximum fines
for trespassing would be
increased from $100 to
$1,000. Also, landowners
would be asked to mark their
square foot warrants chem-
ical control. Treat immedi-
ately if the foliage is heavily
notched and most of the
caterpillars are less than 11/2
inches long. Each field must
be assessed and dealt with
eparately. Spraying the
border of a field may be
property with signs or some
type of coloured marker to
indicate if trespassing is
forbidden on their property.
Mr. Hill said his commit-
tee recommended that the
only cause for landowner
liability in the event of an
injury to someone trespass-
ing on the property should be
when an act has been done
by the landowner with
"deliberate intent to cause
harm to someone coming on
the land." He said the land
use committee also recom-
mended that rather than
effective when the pest is on
the move.
Control measures are list-
ed on page 29 of the 1979
Field Crop Recommend-
ations. The suggested insect-
icides include Sevin, Mala-
thion, Methoxychlor and
Lannate L.
putting signs or markers on
the property warning people
to keep off the land, there
should be a positive entry
system of signs so landown-
ers can indicate when they
would welcome people using
their land for recreational
uses.
Mr. Hill said his commit-
tee also recommended to the
minister that there shouldn't
be a limit to the damages
award a judge could assess
on the conviction of a tres-
passer and that the damages
awarded should be equal to
the full amount of damages
incurred.
Finally, the local commit-
tee recommended there be a
mandatory fine for trespass-
ing upon conviction of tres-
passers.
The committee's recom-
mendations were forwarded
both to the Ontario Feder-
ation of Agriculture and to
Attorney General McMurtry.
GUEST SPEAKER
The guest speaker at
Thursday's federation meet-
ing, held at Huron Centen-
nial School, Brucefield, was
George Klosler, president of
the Oxford County Feder-
ation of Agriculture. Mr.
Klosler showed his organi-
zation's agricultural film, A
Question of Balance.
Mr. Klosler explained his
group decided to make the
film three years ago when
there was •a great deal of
dispussion in Oxford. County
about drawing up an official
land use plan for the county.
Mr. Klosler said while inter
est groups such as land
developers were well repre-
sented in discussions with
county officials, no one was
really representing farmers.
Mr. Klosler pointed out
since farmers make up only
five per cent of the 'popu-
lation, they needed to con-
vince the general population
to share their views on land
use in• the count y. They
decided to produce a film
outlining their views on agri-
culture and the dangers of
encroaching urbanization.
The film took two years to
produce and cost the group
$22,000. The speaker said
the film has since been
shown all across the province
on television, at agricultural
conferences and has even
been sent to Europe for
viewing.
Mr. Klosler said county
officials congratulated the
Oxford County F. or A. for
having the greatest influence
on the way the official plan
for the county finally shaped
up.
Under the Oxford plan,
there are buffer zones be-
tween intensive agricultural
areas and urban centres and
severances are allowed only
in the case of the purchases
of adjoining farms, without a
special appeal process.
Bill Crawford, the field-
man for the Huron County
federation, told the audience
the executive will be can-
vassing for new federation
members in Stephen, Us-
borne and Ashfield town-
ships on July 17 to 19.
The executive also asked
federation members to sub-
mit the names of those
people in the county who
have made a worthwhile
contribution to agriculture
for the annual Huron County
Federation of Agriculture
Award.
Is it dry weather or is it
insects? The second cut was-
n't much good last year and
many people blamed the dry
weather. Others felt that
insects such as potato Leaf-
hopper were a contributing
factor. Several Perth farmers
sprayed their alfalfa for in-
sects last year with beneficial
results. We should be walk-
ing our hay fields and check-
ing for insects so we can be
on top of the situation.
. The Leafhopper is of part-
icular concern.. It's a light
green, wedge-shaped insect
about 1/8th inch long when
fully grown. The immature
adult (nymph) is yellowish
green and walks sideways or
backwards. The adult may
jump or fly.
The insect feeds by suck-
ing plant juices. The alfalfa is
stunted and the leaves turn
yellow to bronze in colour.
Effective control depends
on recognizing the adults and
nymphs before symptoms
become apparent. Fields
should be checked starting
now. Cygon and Meth-
oxychlor are recommended
as sprays on page 21 of the
1979 Field Crop Recom-
mendations. These sprays
will also look after other
insects that are chewing on
the plant.
We should be checking our
alfalfa fields for insects. The
dry weather in late June was
ideal for encouraging them.
We had three calls on insect
damage in alfalfa as this
article went in the mail. In all
three cases the first cut had
been taken about June .1st,
