More than 8 million of them belongrto 3,881 Credit Unions stretching from the Yukon to NMoundland. Canada's Credit Unions — and Caisses Populaires — have assets of nearly $16 billion. It's all dedicated to the Credit Union purpose of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. In today's Credit Union system, the basic principals of service rather than profit, ownership by the _people, demo- cratic control and voluntary service, still hold. But the original credit union concept is changing to offer a wider range of services to a greater number of people. Credit Unions belong to their members and do their best for them — in service, consumer protection, financial educa- tion, They are concerned with service more than profits. But the profits they make go back to the members. It's a great movement — a credit to Canada and there's room in it for YOU.

Dr, Thompson said foxes or skun,ks are the known .carrieri of rabies in this part 'of the province. He said there are more problem recently with foxes fighting with dogs. If it is suspected the fox is rabid, then the 'dogs have to be quarantined to ascertain if they also have the disease. In the past month and a hilt', two rabid foxes and a ram were reported in Grey Township, and one rabid fox in Morris Township. Two cattlebeasts, a skunk and a fox were found to be rabid in Howick.

Natural REsources Minister James Auld said the 1978-79 season is the tenth year since the disease fast occurred, and there was a makr outbreak before that iii195l3-59, "If this 10-year cycle recurs, a peak can be expected this fall and winter," the minister' said. Ourbreaks of rabies have already been reported in Bruce, Carleton, Trontenac, Grey, Lanark,' Leeds, Lincoln and Renfrew Counties with red fox and skunk being hte major carriers, The minister warened that rabid animals are frrequently unusually tame, and any wild animal whose behavior seems unusual should be avoided. "If a sportsman does contact rabies, either through his own dog or by direct contact with a rabid fox or skunk, a physician or veterinarian should be notified im- mediately", Mr. Auld said. formers Adults of this insect eat corn silks so that it is easy to identify fields that have high adult numbers. Any field that has a noticeable number of cobs without silks has.high adult numbers. This silk detection can be done from a tractor or combine seat while harvesting.- These observations should be re- corded since our memory is seldom as good as we think it is. Corn rootworm can be controlled by rotating with another crop or by applying an insecticide at planting. ' Corn Drying Charges The Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers Association has informed us that the 1978 corn drying charges are the same as those set for 1977. Therefore, dealers will still be using charts dated' Sept- ember 1, 1977. Weeds cost Huron Poor weed control has cost Huron County farmers at least $1.8 million during the past year. Weed control in . 1978 was probably the poor- est in the seventies. Part of this is due to weather but the main part is due to, manage- ment. In other words, most of these weeds can be controlled and they are identified, if the right herbicide is used at the proper rate and time. The 1978 crop is history, but we can start now on, the 1979 crop by identifying weed problems now and RECORDING these pro- blems. One thing is certain, many fields have weeds going to seed this year. These seeds are capable of costing us more money next year. In fact, it will take 2 or 3 years of excellent weed control to effectively reduce the miinber of weed seeds that are returned to the land 'in 1978. Rootworm Problem Identified Next year's corn rootworm control can start now by recording fields that have a high adult count, Adult corn rootworin lay their eggs in August and September. Any .fields that -have: high, adult counts 'now should have a • rootworm control nex year.
