He said during the first six months of the dairy year, producers in Southern Ontario should have a target to utilize 45 per cent of the MSQ held on Feb. 1, 1993. Producers are required to market 38.25 per cent of their annual MSQ by Jan. 31, 1993. If they don't meet the require­ ment, some of the MSQ will be taken away, he said. "A producer's MSQ will be reduced by the amount that his but­ terfat shipments are below 38.25 per cent,” he stated in a press release. "This reduction pertains to this dairy year only and is reinstat­ ed for next dairy year." Reduce time needed to register average of $103.43 with sales to $104.75.

Lionel Wilder, reeve of Hay said the governments must do some­ thing about "this confounded ridiculous rule that a chemical needs five years of testing in Cana­ da when its already in use in the U.S." These chemicals that are councillor being held up until testing in Cana­ da are already used on the food being imported into Canada, he said. "We're the last ones to get it." The issue was raised when Pat Down of Usbome asked what had happened to her motion that the agricultural, planning and develop­ ment committee urge the govern­ ments to free up chemicals to deal with proso-millet. The committee had been unable to come up with a suitable resolution.

You may be stopped by a trail warden ; p at any time. The Amnesty period which began on Nov. 1 was originally intended to end on Nov. 30, however, according to the report from the OPP, the period has since been extended to Dec. 15. Many people have already taken advantage of the opportunity to dispose of unwanted firearms and ammunition, or to register restricted weapons which have been illegally possessed, the police stated. The following is a summary to date of the public response to the Firearms Amnesty Program at OPP Detachments across No. 6 District, with Huron County totals in brackets: Firearms brought in for disposal, 196 (31); Firearms brought in for registration, 121 (23); Ammunition brought in for disposal (rounds) 7,076(1,765). Other articles for disposal: 2 - artillery shells; 1 - tear gas canister; 140 - blasting caps (40); 1 - hand grenade; and 2 - explosive. The above list, police say, indicates there may be many local residents who could yet take advantage of this period of grace. Persons who are found in unlawful possession of firearms or ammunition after Dec. 15 will face criminal charges. The penalties for these offences range from a lifetime ban on possessing any firearms, to a possible 10-year jail sentence. Anyone presently in possession of unregistered restricted weapons, prohibited weapons, or unwanted ammunition should contact their local OPP Detachment or Police Service for assistance.
