The ribbons released parasitic wasps, experimentally used to control cabbageworms which threaten the cabbage plant. The laboratory located at the University of Guelph is funded jointly by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food through provincial lottery proceeds, and by the Ministry of the Environment. The mandate of the facility is to develop biological control methods to reduce the amount of chemical pesticides required. Biological control of insects involves the use of natural enemies such as parasites, predators, and natural diseases to control pests. Mr. Stevenson is MPP for the riding of Durham-York. 4-H set up nine regional workshops The 4H agricultural leader's program is break- ing with precedent this year, moving away from a provin- cial conference in favour of nine regional workshops throughout Ontario. "We've held the annual 4H leaders' conference in Toronto for several years now, and although it has always been a successful program, this year we would like to offer training to a larger - number of 4H leaders," says Chuck Jacobs of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food extension branch.

"It also allows some flexibility in the pro- gram from one area to another." Among the subjects covered in the workshops are: the role of the 4H leader, group dynamics, methods of presentation, and resources and materials available to 4H leaders. The program also encourages leaders to- discuss common problems and share new ideas. There are 1570 4H leaders in Ontario who work on a voluntary basis to provide instruction for more than 7770 4H agricultural club members. These leaders range in age from 21 to 71, * but they share one thing in common - an interest -in indicate that about 80 per cent of the leaders ae men, and that the number of women leading clubs is increasing. Most leaders are former 4H members, living in rural areas. Ontario's 4H agricultural club program administered by. the Ministry of Agricul . ture 'and Food, offers 4H projects in animal science, plant' science, agricultural engineering, resource man- agement and farm manage- ment.' The 4H program is open to young people 12 to 19. People interested in becoming 4H agricultural club leaders may contact cultural office for further details,
