All crops have made excel- lent progress in the last weeks under spotty dry conditions as showers were scattered across county. Grain - Wheat is well headed but is shorter than average due to the dry spring, Early spring grains are heading out and look good while cater crops are grow- ing rapidly but remain, thin due to dry soil conditions after seeding. Corn crops have made excel- lent growth during the warm nights and spraying operations are about complete. Cultivation of corn continues. Bean crops have good stands and size and first cultivations are just beginning. Occasional atrazine damage is reported, this is likely due to dry conditions after seeding, which tends to cause greater damage than when moisture is abundant. Haying is about completed in the South with alfalfa weevil caus- ing some damage. Hay crops are about one half harvested in North Huron. pAPOsiT00, 00T., 4 ,kty IN STOCK .. 10,0.00-ft. 300-1b.

Zoning is an integral part of city plans. The practice of regulating the land use by toning regulations and plans in common in North American cities and towns. .However, the knowledge and understanding of this practice is not common. MoS simply zoning is "the division of a com- munity into zones or districts according to the present and po- • tential use of properties for the purpose of controlling and directing the use and develop- , ment of these.properties". Either In,,spite of Zoning,'or because of it, many of the things we would'- like to save disappear. Zoning has a place. It can do a job. It, can assist in con- trolling the development of new areas -- places which, were lightly occupied in the past and are now becotping densely set- tled. It can help agriculture. Zoning has been attempted in the rural areas and zoning by- laws have been passed in several Ontario townships. But these are very restrictive to agricul- ture and do not aid in the develop- ment of the agricultural industry. These bylaws are concerned with separating the farm community from the . enroaching suburban group, and developing a large buffer zone between the two. Such a goal is laudable but it often prevents the enlargement of the farm business, and may fOrce the farmer from the land. Zoning bylaws should be posit- ive, not negative.
