Let's start with CO-OP fertilizer. Fertilization of forages establishes vigorous plants arid improves winter survival of legumes. Applying the proper analysi&of CO-OP fertilizer every year boosts the total digestible nutrients (TON) you get from every acre of forage. In fact, your livestock carrying capacity can often double or triple and your return can be as much as $3 for every $1 spent. Now add the proper CO-OP Feed Ration to balance your forage for optimum production of milk per acre. Sound crop management and feeding practices, as detailed in these feed and crop brochures, will give''ou better production year after year in both the field and the barn. CO-OP Fertilizer and Feed Rations don't mix, but they combine:. well to give you maximum results. available at your Co.operative United Co=operatives of Ontario 357.2711 BELGRAVE.BRANCH 887-6453 '1 BPS students see Farm income protection plan High School needed, MPP Gaunt says On Thursday, April 17th, 9 students of the Grade 8 class of the Brussels Public School went to the F.E.Madill.

White, Esther Wierenga, Joanne McArter, Dianne Stephenson, Catherine Cardiff and Carol Wheeler. These students will be taking French next year. After the dcass, Mr. Compeau talked to us about our courses next year. We really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to going o high school next year.

Some of the matters discussed we found particularly interesting, such as: the decision to ask the postal department to keep the post office open to a later hour for the convenience of the many people who cannot get their mail before six o'clock; the explanation by the representative of the Maitland Valley Authority, Mr. De Laurier, of the possible effect of flood damage in the flood plain ea of the village and the long ange plans of the Authority to egulate buildings on lots in the flood plain, and the effect of new onstruetion on present esidential areas, specifically Flora Street, when flooding occurs. We found the meeting educational and interesting and— would like to attend another one sometime in the future. By -, Tim Prior Karen Bridge Shelley Long Scott Wheeler Donna Aitchison A Visit to the County Court House On Thursday, April 24th, our Grade 8 class visited the County Court House in Goderich. There were many male members but surprisingly enough in this day and age of Women's Lib, there were no women. Another visit to the Cottrt House might be improved by attending when a very important matter is being discUsSed. Although all !natters are ImPortaht it would be more interesting to hear the members discuss a matter which the isitors know something about, Also I think if the nienthers and guests Would have spoken 16uder, t Would have been more apPealing to the visitors. I thought` the Court House Was tell* well decorated. enjoyed the V.O.N. nurse with her talks about the work their organization performs. From my visit, I learned some of the procedures of the Court House and I would like, to return again at some later date. By-Donna Aitchison County Council Meeting We attended the County Council meeting on Thursday, April 24th, 1975. It began at 9:45 a.m. and we left 11:30 but it wasn't really over until 12:00 . We sat at the back of the room on rows of chairs. We heard a V.O.N. talking about their job and what they do so they could get a grant from the council. A road superintendent was there talking about the roads in the area. Another man was talking about the Graham Survey. Some of the speakers didn't talk very loud and we couldn't hear them. After we left the court house we went down to the harbour to see a ship that was stuck in a sandbar. We arrived back at school at 12:30. By-Joanne McArter The Three-Ring Circus Monday, May 5th all the Grade two class went to the three-ring circus in London. We liked it very much. We saw tigers, lions, acrobats, clowns and horses. The clowns threw pies and chased each other. One clown was shot out of a cannon, but all that came out were his pants and his helmet. A lady trained tigers and a lion.

Different kinds of cows, where they come from and their average butter fat rating were also discussed. A game finished off the meeting. Linda Whiting closed the meeting and Andy Carvalho seconded it. The meeting finished with the motto. during debate on estimates of the , ministry of agriculture and food, Mr. Gaunt said it was nice of the government to promise a $20 million income stablization fund in the speech 'from the throne March 12 but that it would have been more favorably accepted by now if the plan had been put into practice. "I think consumers and people generally in this province are recognizing that stable produc- tion ,is preferable to instability both for producers and for consumers," he said. "Farmers can no longer assume all the risks involved in producing food. They have now come to 'the point where they can't survive by simply, tightening their belts."
