Alcohol banned in 26 provincial parks
The possession of alcohol will be banned
from May 13 to May 23' in 26 provincial
parks, including 11 parks in Southwestern
Ontario, including Point Farms, Ipperwash
and Pinery, the .Ministry of Natural
Resources announced today.
"We want to assure all our park visitors
on the Victoria Day weekend that they will
not be disturbed by excessive noise or
abusive language from other park visitors,"
said Terry Crabe, Resource Management
Specialist and Visitor Services Program-
mer for Pinery and Ipperwash Provincial
Parks. "Our past experience on Victoria
Day weekends shows the abuse of alcohol as
the key reason why some of our visitors
became noisy and disruptive. By banning
the possession of alcohol we will be able to
keep our campgrounds quiet and en-
joyable," said Mr. Crabe.
"We decided to apply an alcohol ban to all
our parks, not just a few, to prevent those
campers who might cause a problem from
moving up the road to the next provincial
park that didn't have the ban."
Making quality
With the beginning of the busy season
quickly approaching, most Ontario farmers
are busy planning their crops and
harvesting schedule.
Since forage quality is one of the first
limiting factors in dairy production, produc-
ing quality forage is critical in maintaining
an efficient and economical operation. Ap-
proximately 60-80 per cent of all production,
health and reproductive problems en
countered in dairy herds are more or less
related to nutrition.
Making quality forage starts before the
ground is seeded, with proper soil testing,
fertilization and drainage techniques. Quali-
ty forage results when forage is cut at the
proper time, optimizing protein and fibre
content. Forage must also be harvested,
cured and stored relatively free from molds,
weeds and other contaminates. With ensiled
feeds, moisture levels and particle size
become critical factors in maintaining the
forage quality at time of harvest. How you
store your hay will also influence future
quality.

forage now, makes sense later
Since the nutrient content of forages can
vary widely depending upon plant species,
soil type, weather conditions, harvesting
practices and storage facilities; feed testing
becomes an important tool in knowing your
feeds. By analyzing the nutrient content of
your home-grown feeds, it allows you to
compliment them both nutritionally and
economically with purchased feeds. This
saves money, both at the time of purchase
and later when production and health status
increases.
So, in planning this year's busy season,
add soil and feed testing to your list. If in
doubt as to how to go about it, contact your
local county OMAF office for help. Have a
safe and successful harvest!
1988 motorcross season underway
Sunday, April 24 saw the opening day for
CMA Motorcross action at Hully Gully.
A cool, cloudy morning proved to 'be a
deterent to some riders but didn't stop top
experts like Doug Hoover and Kevin Moore
from eventually taking advantage of ex-
cellent track conditions as the sun moved in
for a good afternoon of racing.
Local Cider Brian Blackburn of Exeter
finished fourth in the Open Expert Class and
Doug Farrish of Lucknow flew through the
air on the renovated track to e*aha QPr'nnrt
in Junior 125A and a fifth in the Junior 250

The Annual Morrison Dam Fishing Derby
is quickly becoming a tradition. May 14 is
the date of this year's derby. The event is a
great way to get outside, do some fishing
.and introduce your family to the sport. It's
sponsored by the Exeter Lions Club,
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority
and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Foundation.
John Schwindt of the ABCA reports the
Morrison Dam reservoir will be stocked
with rainbow trout. Six hundred pan size
(8-10 inch) rainbow trout will be added to the
reservoir before the opening of trout season
by the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Before the derby, the reservoir will be
stocked with an additional 600 fish from pan
size to 24 inches by the derby sponsors.
A number of fish will be tagged for cash
prizes. Prizes will also be awarded for the
largest fish caught by various age
catagories.
Morrison Dam Conservation Area is the
site of the Derby with the headquarters at
the picnic pavilion on the south side of the
reservoir. The conservation area is located
two kilometers east of Exeter, south of
Highway 83. The derby opens at 7:30 a.m.
Entry forms are available at Exeter retail
outlets or on the day of the derby at Mor-
rison Dam.
Those planning to use boats in the derby
are reminded that motors are not allowed on
the reservoir and that the law requires the
proper safety equipment to be on board.
Schwindt suggests that because of the steep
slopes and cold water, young shore
fishermen should be accompanied by an
adult.
Further information is available from the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority at
