This year, hawever, we note in talking ta number af farmers that they admit themselves that (bey spent mare time on their corn, saybeans, or other craps and have neglected the praper management and fertilization of their legumes and grass crops. in other words, the farage craps have become the neglected crop an a number of farms and it has been a castly negleèt an the part af the f armer.

"If we want Newcastle ta grow wîtb a certain degree of balance, we sbould go witb a regional rate phased-in over a five-year-period," Mayor Rickard says.

Hope for a Regional Rate grew dim Nov. 12 when Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough told regional council that the province would aniy grant $1.l million for the establishment of a reguonal water and sewer rate rather (ban the near $8 million (bat the Region had requested. Mayor Ruckard bas previ- ously commented that Courtice's costs would be less than other communities in the Town on a charge - back sys- tema as (bey are tied with the Oshawa-Whitby systemn.
