Conservation Farming
What Is It?
Most of us assume that conservation
farming refers only to stopping soil ero-
sion. It actually covers a much wider
range than this, and includes anything
which will sustain the long terse produc-
tivity of the land, such as soil, water
and energy resources.
To be effective, conservation farming

FARM REPORT
Bruce County OMAF
requires each farce to be treated as a
system; a change in any part of the
system will have ramifications in other
areas. It is easier to try to anticipate
these effects and prepare for them than
to react to the unexpected. If, for exam-
ple, we leave more trash on the soil
surface by chisel plowing, we will need
to modify the planter to place the seed
through the trash.
The exact system that is best will be
unique to each farm. It will vary depen-
ding on soil type, slope, drainage, type
and number off livestock, the types of
crops the farmer likes to grow, and the
resources available. What works for
your neighbour may not be the best
system for you.
Conservation farming includes many
aspects which are similar to conven-
tional farming, such as crop rotation. It
is typified, however, by fewer passes
over the field, more residue on the sur-
face at planting, and more consideration
to the variances between individual
fields.
Junior Agriculturalists
Start This Week
A few of this year's Junior
Agriculturalists started the week of
-- -Jane- 19-tl i- groat_ of --the;r, -Mid-
Western Ontario starting on June 26.
These young people from urban
backgrounds are in for eight weeks of
new experiences this summer. The
Junior Ags. will be working on farms
until August 18. At last count there were
about 18 Junior Agriculturalists placed
across Bruce, Huron and Perth
Counties.
Many farm organizations and agri-
businesses have made donations of mer-
chandise and supplies for orientation
day. Numerous caps and work gloves
have been received.
RIME STOPPERS
1-800-265-3787
Crime Stoppers is seeking the public's
assistance into the investigation of
thefts of antique furniture in the Bruce
Township area, near Tiverton, Ontario.
The Kincardine Detachment of the On-
tario Provincial Police report that
sometime between September 1988 and
May 1989, unknown person (s) entered
an old vacant farmhouse at Lot 13, Con-
cession 2 of Bruce Township, near
Tiverton. The culprit(s) entered the far-
mhouse by forcing open a door. Once in-
side two antique oak tables were remov-
ed. One table 'is described as being 3'4"
x' 5' with a brown varnish finish and
having spindle legs. The other table was
3'6" x 5' with a black paint finish and
having spindle legs. The owner can
identify the tables as he still has the
leaves for each.
The tables are valued at approximate-
ly $200 each as is.
The theft of antique furniture from
what appear to be abandoned houses in
Bruce Tonwship has been an ongoing
concern to the OPP. It appears that all
the thefts are being done by someone
who knowns the value of the articles
once refinished. Only refinishable and
valuable antiques are beim stolen.
If you feel you can help in this or any
other case, Crime Stoppers of Grey
Bruce are milling to pay a reward up to
$1,000, for information leading to an ar-
rest. Call Crime Stoppers at
1.804285-3787. You will .not be asked to
identify yourself. You will be issued
with a Code number. You will never
have to testify in court.

quickly.
—That memory so easily becomes .a haun-
ting -ghost
—That unmastered passion becomes such
�a tyra n ical master.
—That money is oipable of buying no little
real pleasure.
