WELL KNOWN RESIDENT HEADS UP PLOWING MATCH COMMITTEE - Continued from page 1 es have been working at the arrangements since early 1973. Bob was elected Chairman Chairman of the Committee back in March of 1972. That's how long it takes to get everything in motion and organised so that the tented city, the parking lots, the gates, the housing facilities and all the land required for plowing is ready and primed to go. This year the International Plowing Match will see the largest tented city ever erected erected in Canada. There will be over three hundred exhibitors displaying their farm and rural home products to the public. "It costs a lot of money to put together the tented city and the contests," says Bob Timbers when reviewing the role of the Match. "I would like to see as many people possible get out to see the plowing, the exhibits and the parades." Yes, there is a lot more to do at a plowing match than plowing. "This year there is an excellent ladies' program," says Bob Timers, "and we have some hard working sub-committee organising the historic displays, the steam exhibit, the local crafts and a group involved in putting together special events that will tie in with the daily parades and show of bands in the tented city area". As chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Bob Timbers feels it is the duty of the agricultural community to show off to the rest of Ontario what farming is all about. It can all be seen at this five day outdoor showcase of agriculture agriculture from September 23 to 27. "We would like to see as many people possible from the cities visit the match this years, " says Bob, "and there isn't a better year to do it as the Match is being held within the city limits of Oshawa." Although Bob Timbers has been out of farming for a number of years now, and has been working for the Regional Muncipality of Durham as Land Purchase Manager, he has not lost his interest in farming. He still cuts a "mean furrow" to and through through the organisational paths of at least 22 sub-committees over which has has the responsibility as Chairman at the local level. watering plants , SUBIRRIGATION: A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO PLANT WATERING Subirrigation is likely a new idea for most home gardeners, gardeners, and certainly worth investigating. Dr. M. J. Tsujita, Tsujita, horticulturist with the University of Guelph, says it is ideal for gardeners with large numbers of potted plants, but may still he used effectively by those who garden on a smaller scale. If a large number of plants are involved, the gardener can construct his subirrigation subirrigation system out of a four - by eight - foot plywood sheet. Build a rim about two inches high around the sheet, caulk the joints and then line the container with plastic to ensure that it's water-tight. The next step, says Dr. Tsujita, is to fill the shallow container with a soil mix composed of at least 75 percent peat moss, vermicul- ite of perlite to a depth of about one-half inch. This will provide good aeration of the roots. Place the potted plants on top of the mixture, then saturate it with water. An even more effective method, which prevents roots from growing into the material, material, is to lay heavy - gauge felt or matting on top of the $120,000 ADDITIONAL FOR NEWCASTLE STUDY Continued from page 1 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, JULY 16, 1975-3 NEWCASTLE 1 OF 25 IN ROUTE OPPOSITION Continued from page 1 railways," the Soldant report Said. "In such an area it is impossible to determine a final alignment and to select tower sites without detailed local evaluation." Areas the Solandt commission commission has designated for particular care are: the diagonal degrees from the Wesleyville station which crosses the Marydale Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, and a ridge to the west of the Hope-Clarke Township line; the crossing of the Village of Newcastle in the vicinity of farm and orchard operations and the crossing of Bowman- vviile Creek. An initial housing study grant of $100,000 was made last August. Mr. Irvine said he was pleased that planning for the Courtice area, which is readily readily serviceable and has significant significant housing potential, is well advanced, and that the municipality municipality is involved in public participation on the concept plan. "The co-operation of council council in addressing itself to the housing needs of the province is recognized and appreciated," appreciated," he said. "The early development of well-planned communities is a prime interest of the Ontario Government." Government." The Couritice concept plan under consideration envisages envisages a population of 46,000 on some 2,000 acres of urbanized land, with the rate of growth depending on municipal objectives objectives as well as economic factors. In Bowmanville, the concept concept plan to be made public in the near future, has a design population figure of 30,000 with the development area covering 900 acres above that already urbanized; the Newcastle Newcastle Village area population figure will be 5,000, with some 180 acres being urbanized. "The provision of funds to permit development in the ^ Courtice and Bowmanville areas is regarded as a positive step in the implementation implementation of the policy of the Toronto-Centred Region Concept," Concept," said Mr. Irvine. "A request from the Regional Regional Municipality of Durham for interest-free loans to service these and other areas is under consideration and, if approved, will add further impetus to the implementation implementation of the ■ government's 'policy;-'; i . ' r U \ plastic. Gardeners with only a few potted plants can take advantage advantage of the system by using a much smaller container - a dishpan or a shallow tray, for example. Dr. Tsujita says fertilizer can be applied in a very dilute solution with every saturation or at intervals, intervals, according to the rate of plant growth. "The beauty of this watering watering system is that it provides a continuous supply of moisture moisture to the plant. The plant is not force - fed - it can take up water when necessary. Also, the size of the pot doesn't matter, and a large number of plants can be watered at the same time' The rocket ship above at the Orono Park provides one avenue of entertainment for the children taking part in the summer program. Other features features such as the wading pool, slides and swings are also included in the program. Stories and hikes help to round out the program of events. Switch "Off" Heat - . .Turn "On" Gains. Put Market Heifers on MGA-100 ->v You can stop feadlot turmoil and eliminate the stress of heat in heifers. Do that and you are practically assured of improved feed efficiency AND increased rates of gain. You do just that with MGA-100 added to your SHUR • GAIN Supplement. Repeated feeding trials have demonstrated positive economic advantages. With* MGA-100, FEED EFFICIENCY is improved 6--7% iri untreated heifers, 3--5% in heifers on diethylstibestrol . . . and RATE-OF-GAIN IS IMPROVED 10--11% and 5--6% respectively.
