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," WHAT'S NEW AT HURONVIEW The Clinton Christian Reform Church song service which is held on the last. Sunday evening each month was well attended last Sunday.
