'At the end of the harvest we ted 10,000,000 bushels less," he a, adding that the 1958 wheat p was considered the best on ord, :n the spring grain class this it saw 142,000,000 bushels har- ted, 10,000,000 bushels less tn. 1958 "Hay and silage were ter this year than in 1958, with least 1,000,000 more tons of :h harvested," he remarked. Obis year saw a 27-bushel-an- ,e yield of soya beans-2,000,- ) bushels more than in 1958. e earn crop was 1,000,000 bush higher, restating in the see- ,-largest drop at writ Ontario ever produced-and with a ld of 64 bushels to the acre, Good Year In summarizing these figures, Dr. Huntley said: "In 1959, after all the complaining we did be- cause of the, dry, hot weather, we had 'one of the best years' iti the' history of Ontario; and with some luck it will go further, Our crop- ping practices are far better than they were 20 years ago; we are doing things that our forefathers did not do." "The Ontario Soil and Crop Im- provement Association in its 20 years of existence has been work- ing 'with oats, wheat, and barley to produce more yields per acre, said Dr. Huntley. "It is unfortun- ate that when one looks at forage crops, one can not get the same story." She situation of increased food, production is' a perplexing one, ac- cording to Dr. Huntley. "If in On- tario each year crops are increas- ing-and we are already living on, a continent with a surplus of food -it does not make sense. You can not go back in history for any guidance, as it is a situation we are not used to:" In closing, -Dr. Huntley claimed that the farmer should use zone acerages of acre yields as guides -that so far there is no specific recommendation for any specific farm, Achievements Mr. Miles paid tribute to the young farmers in• Huron county who have been excelling them- selves in competition and at the same time bringing :good public- ity to Huron county. He referred specially to Ron Smith, Brussels, who was named top judge in the livestock field at this year's Royal Winter Fair; Rodger Kieffer, Wingham, who showed the grand champion Here- ford steer; Ken Black, Belgrave, who led. in the grand champion Shorthorn class; and Robert Al- lan, Brucefield, who was for the third time declared world champ- ion in the bean class. 112elburn Greenwood, RR 1, Mit- Over $200 profit was netted at the Jumble Sale held •in the Sun- day School room of Wesley-Willis United Church, on Saturday after- noon, November 28, by the Good Will Club, Over all convener was Mrs. Frank Fingland with Miss Esther jareieson in charge of pu- blicity, Mrs. Gordon Manning looked af- ter the collecting with Mrs. Geor- ge Beattie, Mrs. R, Benson Sutter and Mrs. Gladys Wallis assisting.
