Mike Manion along with his partner operate not only the Mushroom Farm on Taunton Road but as well operate a farm at Locust Hill and two at Greenwood. Greenwood. The Taunton Road farm was purchsed a year and a half ago and since seven houses have been added for a total of eleven houses. Mike Manion explains that with eleven houses staff are always picking in four houses at any one time. Picking in a house continues for a period of 28 days with picking continuing in each foXir three to five days and then laying off for a couple of days. Each house containtwenty- four beds, some four feet wide and sixty-five feet in length. They are stacked six high leaving leaving room for working on the beds and picking. A period of 76 days lapses from the preparation for a new crop to the final picking in the house. Manion in explaining the operation stated that the compst when in place in the beds is A weekly news commentary from one of Canada's OTTAWA -- There was a memorial service not long ago at Carleton University for Wilfred Eggleston, the first head of the university's school of journalism, and one of the giants of the trade when 1 was getting into it. Mr. Eggleston was born in England on March the 25th, 1901, and emigrated with his parents parents to the Canadian prairies in 1909. He was, despite the place of his birth, a Canadian patriot, in the best sense of the words. He was also, I suspect, a husband, a father, a citizen, and a student and teacher first, and a journalist second. Mr. Eggleston did not fit the journalistic stereotype of the 1930's and he most certainly did not fit that of the 1980's. He got out of full-time journalism in the late 30's to work on press relations for the Rowell-Sirois Commission! on the financial relations between ,Ottawa and the provinces. And although he fully intended to return to reporting several times subsequently, hç never really managed it. , ■ • After the Rowell-Siros report was completed, the Second World War broke out, and against all his instincts, instincts, Mr. Eggleston found him- sejf serving as Canada's Chief Censor. Censor. Mr. Eggleston was such an af- fablê, gentle and scholarly man that George Ferguson, then the Editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, was movfed to remark: "It's pretty ob- vioub this is a phoney war when they appoint Wilf Eggleston as chief press censor". It was typical of Mr. Eggleston that he took his friend's wry^remark as a compliment. But you begin to understand what Mr. Ferguson was driving at when you read in Mr. Eggleston's autobiography, autobiography, "While I Still Remember", Remember", the following point about how the Second World War affected affected him: "I found I had to give up golf entirely," Mr. Eggleston recalled, recalled, "because the state of this world obsessed me so much I couldn't bear to play". So our Press Censor planted trees instead, secure in the knowledge that their beauty and utility would outlast both Adolph Hitler and the horrors of war. "One curious result of my four years in press censorship," censorship," he wrote, "was a heightened awareness of the basic and fundamental fundamental importance of a free press in a parliamentary democracy". Mr. Eggleston was no ordinary censor and no ordinary reporter, and Carleton was very lucky to get him to launch its fledgling school of journalism after the wa'r! And a whole generation of Canadian journalists journalists were lucky to. get:,him as a teacher, mentor and predecessor. pasteurized using a temperature of 150 degrees.

When mycelium runs throughout the compost the compostis covered with peat moss when later pinning starts and the growth of the mushroom is on its way. Manion said they expect to get five pounds of mushroom off a square foot. He said the biggest demand comes at Christmas time.

The Ministry of Natural Resources, through the Woodlands Improvement Act (W.I.A.), may enter into a 15 year agreement with a landowner who has at least two hectares (five acres) of vacant land. Under the W.I.A. agreement, the landowner pays for the trees at a cost of approximately sixty dollars per hectare.. The owner also agrees to protect the planted areas from grazing livestock, fire, and insects. The ministry does the rest: site ' evaluation, site preparation ( tree planting, and tending.
