County councillors agreed with a recommendation from the development committee that they 'concur with the resolution. This comes on the heels of a resolution by the , Huron County Federation of Agri- culture calling for Agri- culture Minister Lorne Henderson to act to control the sales or else resign his .post;. 0-0-0 County council, in a report from its executive com- mittee, expressed concern that the Community Services Contribution Program might be dropped next year, and agreed to support the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in pressing for its retention. The program which supplanted the Neighbor- hood Improvement Program — provided federal grants for community projects such as sewers, roads, lights, water, parks, etc. Eileen Palmer, Goderich reeve, reported the programs enabled her town to do: work worth about $1.8 million for a quarter of that cost. She said there is con- cern the federal government will cease funding the program after this, year. Murray Dawson, Usborne deputy reeve, suggested that might not be such 'a liad thing. The programs benefit. primarily the urban muni- cipalities, he noted, and suggested "we should take a good, strong look at these programs." "The sooner the govern- ment stops, these grants, the sooner it won't be Lerdebt so much," -he commented, adding that "it conies out of all our pockets." Mrs. Palmer retorted that farmers get 50 per cent of their property taxes refunded. • ° AirW ("j servilcw by Rev.

Big, round bales really have caught on in Huron County. There seem to be many methods used to store these bales, but some really are better then others. South Dakota State University did some research on storing big, round bales. They found the best way was to store them end-to-end, with the ends touching and about 18 inches between rows. Dry matter losses were only 0.8 per cent this way; bales stored in a pyramid' stack used less • space, but had dry matter losses of 10.3 per cent. These bales held too much moisture at the points or; con- tact between the rows.' This caused deterioration and rotting of the hay. To store bales in a pyramid stack you should cover the stack with four or six -mil plastic held down ,with tires and ropes. Bales placed in rows with 18 inches space on all sides (not touching at the ends) had losses of four per cent. This system also ,requires the most space. Bales should be stored in a well -drained site. Research is being done now in Ontario on this same problem. The results should be available next year.

The land, which borders the Maitland River as far as Wroxeter, has been the subject of considerable concern to area farmers in the past. It consists of 16 acres of marginal and flood, plain property. In order that the. past controversy and irritation over the land is not repeated, Howick Council carried a motion to petition the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority (MVCA) to purchase the property, which is situated near a dam, for purposes of better water management. Deputy Reeve •Jack Stafford said council could not suggest the worth of the property, but could only suggest that -it be purchased.
