| | | ! | Heading fo i 4 r Holland The people of Prince Albert said "thank you" last week to Peter and Lammy VanGinhoven who are retiring as post- masters of the General Store. At a retirment party, Peter was presented with a pen and pencil set, and Lammy received a gold-plated "Looney" $1 coin. Lammy collected Loonies, and really appreciated this one. And for a planned holiday in their native Holland, they received a gift of money. MC for the evening Terry Hodgins pointed out that when Peter took over as postmaster just six years ago, there were 76 postal boxes at the store. Today, there are 256. With their retire- ment, full postal services will continue at the Prince Albert Store.

Baxter Agricultural Representative The ability to cut hay one day and bale it the next is within the reach of every farmer. By spraying a chemical drying agent know as Fresh Dry on the hay as it enters the conditioner, and an acid preservative know as Field Fresh as the hay is being baled, a research team, in New York, has been able to harvest and bale hay in 26 hours. Further- more, the hay was successfully stored in a barn without further LARGE LUXURY CARS - drying. Janet Fallon, the manager of Forage and Vegetable Applied Technology at the Agway Farm Research centre in Tully, New York, reported on her company's progress at the American Forage and Grassland Council's annual conference, held recently at the University of Guelph. Fallon reported that cost of materials used to achieve these results ranged form 8 to 18 dollars per ton of hay, depending on moisture content and weight of crop. This does not include the cost of the application equipment required to apply both chemicals. A major drawback in the system, however, is that it only works on pure legume stands. . Dessicants (such as Field Fresh) are not recommended for use on grasses and mixed stands. This means that the procedure is only of interest to producers of pure alfalfa hay. Research is on-going into the use of dessicants and buffered acid preservatives in hay. '88 Buick LeSabre Ltd. low mileage *19,500. '88 Pontiac Grand AM 4 cylinder, 5 speed) $12,900.
