At the moment, he advised, a check of 'the water level can only be taken by using a dip-stick. Councillor Kei Lyall quick- ly suggested tha'l as consider- able funds have already been spent in attenipting to find water and hau4ing tank loads to the arena last winter, it might be wise to solve the problem by running a water line out to the arena from the town. Mayor Rickard told Mr. Lyall that bis suggestion is among the many considera- tions to be dliscussed.

The next run was to have been made with the tractor's eorsepower replaced by a .eam of four oxen'. Unfortun- ately for Mn. Newman and his audience the oxen were most unco-operative and stood pha- cidly chewing their alfalfa whil three handlers urged them on. When they finally decided to. move they assisted Mr. New- man in producinïg the crook- edest furrow such an attempt is likely to sustain, draggîng the environment miinister sideways into his tractor plowed furrow. Then the laughter of the crowd really broke out as the oxen , yoked into pairs, made an attempt to head off in different directions, causing the public address announcer to surmise that "One must be a Conservative, a second a Liberal and another an NDP. " "I really enjoyed that", Mr., flewman exclaimed at the conclusion of what is- likely to be the worst furrow he has ever plowed.' In his address, Mn. Newman stressed the importance which the provincial government is putting on agriculture, noting, ',the Ontario Governmnent is willing to put dollars on the line to stabilize one, of Ontario's most vital indust- ries" "All the machinery in the world is no match for what a farmer can achieve when he knows the soil," Mr. Newman concluded following a lengthy list of provincial agriculture programs which he credited to Hon. William Stewart, Minis- ter of Agriculture and Food, for whom he was pitch hitting Thursday. Mr. Stewart was unable to attend the event due to recent illness.
