Improper disposal
of dead animals
The Veterinary Ser-

Ministry of Agriculture
and Food has recently
received several com-
plaints regarding the
improper disposal of
dead animals.
O.J. Lutes, the Bran-
ch's supervisor of The
Dead Animal Disposal
Act, saysthat the sub-
stantially higher price
now being paid for cattle
hides has prompted a
number of cattle owners
to skin their dead
animals.

The OFA was critical of
the government's ap-
proach to farm
machinery problems.
The OFA has asked
repeatedly for legislated
minimum warranties and
a stronger Farm
Machinery Board with
investigative, arbitration
and licencing powers.
Recently announced
government programs,
they said, fall far short of
dealing with the problem.
The OFA also
recommended a new
Agriculture Resource
Protection Program. It
would assist farmers with
the capital cost of new
equipment for en-
vironmental main-
tenance, pollution
abatement, storage
requirements and market
expansion. Over ten
years, the program would
cover one-third of the
capital cost, up to a
maximum of $10,000.
The OFA brief con-
cluded that the Ontario
Government has the
power to assist Ontario's
farming industry, notto
the detriment of any
other sector of society,
but for the benefit of all.

A doctor examined a
couple and told them they
didn't get enough ex-
cercise. He said: "Buy
yourself something to
work out in the open air,
and you'll release all you

Several weeks later,
the husband came back to
report : "Your advice
worked fine with me, but
my ,wife is still as
troubled and nervous as
ever."
"Tell me more, said
the doctor.
"I bought myself some
golf clubs and they really
helped loosen me up," the
man explained, "but that
lawn mower I bought my
wife hasn't done a thing
for her."

dead animal collectors
are unwilling to pick up
skinned carcasses,
cadavers are being
moved to inconspicuous
areas on farms and left
on the surface of the
ground.
Such unsatisfactory
disposal, besides being
illegal, produces an
environmental problem
and encourages the
spread of animal
diseases.
The Dead Animal
Disposal Act requires the
owner of a dead animal to
dispose of it within 48
hours of its death. It must
either be buried with a
covering of at least two
feet of earth, or be
removed by a person
licensed as a collector
under the Act.
As the owner of dead
animals cannot expect- a
collector to pick up
animals that have been
skinned, he must be
prepared to bury the
carcasses in accordance
with the law. Lutes
requests the cooperation
of all livestock owners in
ensuring that dead
animals are disposed of
properly.

To keep quackgrass down,
you have to let it grow up.
Before you till quackgrass -
this spring, let it grow
until is at least 8 inches high.
Then, apply Rbundup®.
You really can get ready to control quackgrass
by letting it grow undisturbed this spring. Don't
touch it or till it, until it's actively growing and
most weeds are 8 inches high —(3 to 4 leaf
stage). Then, apply Roundup herbicide by
Monsanto.
Tillage may break up and spread live
rhizomes throughout your field and all plants
may not re -grow to the proper stage in time
for treatment with Roundup. Roundup, however,
controls emerged quackgrass above and
below ground, when used properly.
Roundup is so effective, that many
farmers, using it as the keystone of their
quackgra control programs, have been
able to achieve manageable control for
up to 3 years after one application. And
since Roundup has no residual soil activity,
you can till and plant wheat, oats, barley,
corn or soybeans only 5 days after treatment,
without risk of crop injury.
In those infested fields you plowed last fall,
quackgrass may not be ready for Roundup
before planting. If so, we recommend you wait to
apply Roundup as a spot treatment in the crop —
or after harvest, when quackgrass has regrown to
the proper stage.
See your dealer soon about Roundup.
Roundup controls quackgrass —but you have to
let it grow up a little bit first.
