Durham Agri-News by Diane Pickett The provincial Progressive Progressive Conservatives have finished re-grouping after the disastrous election in May. They are united and ready to take on the "unholy alliance" of the Liberals and the NDP, according to York Centre MPP Don Cousens. "I have never felt more positive than I do right now about the future," Mr. Cousens told local Tories on Wednesday evening. This optimistic outlook was welcomed by a sympathetic sympathetic audience at the Durham East PC Riding Association's Association's annual meeting on December 4th, where Mr. Cousens appeared as the guest speaker. Mr. Cousens criticized media reports that party was divided and in disarray following the November leadership convention which saw Larry Grossman defeat Dennis Timbrell by a narrow margin. "In caucus, we have never been more united," Mr. Cousens said. He called the Liberal- NDP accord "an unholy alliance": alliance": "They didn't win the election, but they're running the government. And they have no legal or moral right to be there!" Mr. Cousens proceeded to enumerate the Liberal's "mistakes" since they formed the government. He blamed the provincial government government for not preventing the sale of deHavilland to an American company by the federal Conservative government. He called the Liberals to task on the rising deficit and said the loss of On- By Jack Kyle, P. Ag. Soils and Crops Specialist Fertilizing for High Yield Cereals Among other things, 1985 will be remembered as the year of high cereal yields. Their high yields have sparked questions as to what can be done to ensure these yields in 1986, and beyond. One way that we have been conditioned to think is that increased fertility will increase yields. This philosophy philosophy is basically true at least to a point, but one must consider all factors contributing contributing to the high yields of 1985. These yields were in large part due to the excellent weather conditions. The cool temperatures that held the corn back were ideal for the cereal crops and resulted in above average yields of these cereal crops. The present recommendations recommendations for cereal fertility in publication 296 suggest 45 kg. per ha for barley. Some discussion has been taking place as to the adequacy of this level. One must remember remember that this is a general recommendation for all of Southern Ontario. Not only is there considerable variation in soil types and management practices across the province, but also great variation in climate. If you are in an area with good climate, soil and using a high level of management management in your cereal production production then you may be able to benefit from increased nitrogen levels in cereals, and in particular barley. Levels of nitrogen up to 85 kg. per ha will likely give a response in yield. But some cautions must be stressed. It is important to plant the newer, higher yielding yielding varieties of barley, the older varieties such as Herta are not going to give sufficient yield response to justify the extra nitrogen. Also to,.be con- , sidered is the potential for lodging - if you feel that the barley is likely to lodge do not increase the nitrogen or consider using a growth regulator. Added nitrogen will also give a thicker crop canopy and resultant increased increased susceptibility of diseases. Soil tests should be taken to ensure that phosphorous and potassium levels are adequate. Increasing these nutrients beypnd the recommended recommended levels will not give a yield response. In conclusion, nitrogen levels up to 85 kg per ha of actual nitrogen will give a yield . response in barley provided top level management management is used throughout the crop. MPP Sam Predicts Win in New Riding by Diane Pickett The creation of a new riding riding "Durham Centre" could give the Progressive Conservatives Conservatives the edge over the incumbent proviciai member, NDP Mike Breaugh, Durham East MP Sam Cureatz told supporters supporters last week.

Mr. Cousens criticized the Minister of Education, Scan Conway, for not becoming involved in the negotiations during the teachers strike in Wellington County, the second longestsuch dispute in Ontario's history. He also said that Liberal policies would adversely effect effect the small businessman in the province, and cited the "spills bill" and two bills designed to limit the cost of prescription drugs as examples. The "spills bill" would make it impossible for small businesses to buy insurance insurance if they ship or transport any potentially harmful materials, he said, and added that small pharmacies pharmacies would suffer at the hands of the big corporate drug stores as a result of price limits. Although Mr. Cousens levelled these serious criticisms criticisms against the Liberal government, he saved his most vitriolic remarks for a wholesale attack on the media. He repeatedly said: "the media don't tell the truth" and "the media are dishonest". He called CBC coverage of the Frank Miller election campaign: "a distortion of the facts, a distortion of the truth, a misrepresentation for the people of the province province of Ontario."

He added that the three parties would have to negotiate a time delay after the implementation of the new ridings before an election election could be called. "However, I don't see an election until the Spring of 1987," Mr. Cureatz said, and by that time the riding associations associations will have had plenty of time to reorganize.
