W, J. Moores, Exeter, was among the more than 50 rural clergymen and their wives from Ontario, as well as New York State and Quebec, who attended the fourth annual summer school for rural clergymen held at the Ontario Agricultural College the last week of July, The clergymen took one of three main courses intended to better acquaint them with the relation of agriculture to human welfare and community life. Twenty were enrolled in the general agriculture option, which dealt with all as- pects of practical agriculture, from soil conservation and the latest engineering developments to new developments in poultry and the role of insects in agriculture. The same number were enrolled in the course in human relations, which featured discussions of man's role and development in his environment, as well as a review of Canadian literature and practic- al experience in radio broadcast- ing. The remainder studied the business of farming, a course ac- centing the principles of farm management and marketing. For the wives, tours and teas were arranged while their hus- bands applied themselves to their student roles. o Local Persons Winners 'At Seaforth Bingo Keith Goodman, Clinton, shared the $1,000 jackpot with a Strat- ford man, at the Huron County Wind Relief Fund bingo held in Seaforth Memorial Arena on Tues- day.

Baker, assist- ant agricultural representative for Huron County, reports. "Reports for yields have been very favourable and on the aver- age the fall wheat crop is very good. Some farmers report, how- ever, that the wheat sample kis smaller than anticipated and lack- ing somewhat in uniformity. Oats and barley are now being cut very rapidly throughout the county and it is expected that next week threshing will be the order of the day. "Almost everyone has finished haying and an unusual supply of hay has been harvested. After- math is coming on very rapidly and although some pastures are drying up pasture supply is very good for this time of year. Corn is showing excellent growth the past week as well as soybeans and other cash crops," LURA Hold Picnic At Bayfield Ladies Orange Benevolent ,As- soeiation held a successful picnic at Bayfield on Wednesday, July 29.
