People come from all over the district; Brugsels, Gorrie,St. Marys, Blyth,Goder- ich as well as from 'the immediate area. "Berries are in such demand, this year", says Mr., Dale, "we haven't even had to .advertise." The raspberries have been early maturing this year, say the Dales. They started picking on the 30th of- June and with a little rain', "God willing", the bushes will be leaning with ripe fruit until the middle of August. s Bill Dale believes in farming organi- cally with as little spraying as possible. His bushes are strong and healthy, how- ever, he said, "Whole patches have been wiped out with blight and the only way to avoid it is with chemical sprays which kill the virus". He is 'worried about pollution. "I haven't seen one Bobolink this, summer anti the Killdeer populat- ion is down at least 10%", he commented. With the exception of the raspberry patch the rest of the Dale's 200 acres is leased to neighboring farmers. Mr. Dale retired from active farming last year and operates the patch as a hobby. "At blossom' time the bees are a steady blonde murmur among the raspberry canes," he says. "It's really something to see."

Bread made from a 53 year old recipe is still mighty' good bread, some of the Expositor staff found out last week when Mrs. Harry McLeod appeared with a loaf of potato yeast bread. The freshly baked bread was produced by Mrs. McLeod because a recent Expositor story told of her daughter, Jeannie Midland of Smither, B.C., who found the recipe, contributed by Mrs. Andrew Henderson, Mc Killop, a 1915 Five Roses cook- book wh h she purchased at an antique ore near her home.
