POL.UTION RESISTANCE
STUDIED IN GRASSES
The e. tfect of air pollution on
humans is the subject of c ontin-
uing debate, But a University Of
Guelph professor is researching
its effects on another part of
the envirom.ent - - turf grass,
Professor J, Eggens Depart-
ment of Horticultural Science, is
conducting experiments to deter-
mine the susceptibility of the four
Major turf grass species to pol-
lution damage. He subjects thorn
to relatively high concentrations
of ozone, a harmless gas at. low
concentrations but an . irritating
pollutant in the high concentra-
tions of urban industrial areas.
The turf grasses under study are
Kentucky bluegrass, creeping red
feescue, creeping bent grass, and
perennial ryegrass.
Specific ozone densities, regist-
ered in parts per hundred million
(pphm). are channeled into a
chamber containing a developing
grass plant, for varying lengths of
time. By measuring the effects of
the ga s on individual grass spec-
ies at different levels of develop-
ment, each variety can be rated
according to its resistance to in-
jury.
Studies to date indicate that the
older the grass, the more suscept-
ible it is to pollution damage.
Overcrowding, management, wat-
ering, fertilization, and disease
attacks are also studied in relat-
ion to the overall pollutant effect.
Based on research to date, says
Dr. Eggens, perennial ryegrass
appears to be quite susceptible.
just one ozone treatment caused
thi s grass to develop a narrower,
shorter leaf. Creeping red feacue
seems to, he the most resistant
variety,
"This is prebably because it is
highly compressed, almost
droughtresistant grass," says Dr..
Eggens. "It don't let water escape
easily and therefore doesn't allow
much room for foreign particles
to get in."
The results of Dr. Eggans re-
search could have widespread im-
Oortance for .sod farmers, nursery-
men, landscape architects, park
and golf course superintendents
and others who work with turf
grasses.
OFO NEWS.
The OFA has recommended to
the Provincial government for
several years the establishment of
a separate category and license
fee schedule for farm trucks.' This
category would apply only to
trucks used by farmers for their
own use. Trucks for hire would
not be eligible.
OFA President Gordon Hill said
September ard that "information
from DBS states farm trucks are
empty 60% of the time. The aver-
age annual mileage is 3,700 miles
and estimated capacity utilization
is .24.9%. Therefore, " he contin-
ued, "OFA believes farmers
should pay only 25% of the rate
charged for hire which are fully
loaded a larger portion of the
time and are in constant use.
"The OFA ask that the bene-
fits apply to a license for gross
weights of over 5,000 pounds" Mr.
Hill said, "So that small trucks
used mainly for transportation
are not included.
"Farmers in 13.0., Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, quebec,
New Brunswick and .Nova. Scotia
enjoy a separate Ca tEt gory and
rate. Without. it Ontario farmers
have a competitive disadvantage."
stated Mr. Hill.
The woman spent several
minutes looking at the thermom-
eters 'in a drugstore. Finally she
picked one out
"I'll take this Fahrenheit one,"
she told the Clerk. "I know it's a
good brand,"
