Mr, Jan McAllister, Zurich, assistant agriculture represent- ative, was guest speaker and discussed "Trends in. Agricul- ture in Huron." While the trend is to larger farms, the 1961 census showed that Huron had only 137 farms consisting of 400 acres or more but there were 5,100 farms con- sisting of less than 400 acres. Mr. McAllister also noted the trend to growing more corn and gave statistics to back the in- creased popularity of this crop. He cautioned against 'over- spending on m ac h i n e r y to handle corn until the grower is sure that it suits his soil and other farm enterprises. Next meeting will be held in the form of a family night with the ladies in charge, Rambling With Lucy (Lucy 1?. Woods) Spring arrived with a bounce in Bayfield when temperatures shot up to over 50 degrees on Sunday and Monday, A good deal of the snow disappeared, and the residue under it was washed away by the rain. Of course that doesn't mean that we won't have more near- zero weather and snow storms! Proverbially, March should 'go out like a lion this year. On Sunday "Mr. and Mrs." sat in the sun room at "The Hut" for the first time this year. "Mrs." gazed around and saw tulips which had come up three or four inches under the snow and crocuses peeking up on the east side. And on the south side, "Mr." tells her, the snowdrops are in full bloom. The French pussy willow buds have swollen and gleam like silver on the top branches. The birds are singing. Old maid cardinal found herself a Mate and now she is the bussiest bird one can imagine. No blue- jay dares to enter the feeder while she is there. Mr. and Mrs. Purple Finch perched on the lilac bush by the kitchen window, well out of her reach, one day and Mr. Cardinal is no longer "lord of all he surveys". Over the weekend, "Mr. and Mrs." were awakened each morning by the cardinals whistling their love songs outside the window—a cheerful sound! On Sunday afternoon, it was pleasant to watch the black capped chickadees and juncos flitting in and out of the feeding station, despite Mrs. Cardinals proximity. The chickadees are not at all disturbed by her possessive attitude in the station. And they aren't above scavenging for 'it falls on the ground. Two weeks ago, "Mr." saw the first robin and a purple headed grackle in the garden. And 10 days ago, a pair of East- ern Goldfinches were observed feeding outside the sun room window. And if you saw a flock of small striped birds with a dark :;reenish hue to their backs and yellowish breasts, and wondered to which family they belonged, a safe bet would be Pine Siskin. One obligingly sat in the lilac tree about a month ago so that "Mr." got a good look at her. Mrs. Robert Blair spotted a flock of wild geese flying north on March 17, and the previous day she had seen a killdeer. Harold Bell also reported killdeers last week. Mrs. J. E. Howard heard wild geese honking up the river valley on March 24 and saw young sparrows in her garden. Sunday afternoon a dozen or so gulls sailed over "The Hut" and "Mrs." noticed that the flies were with• us again. Mrs. James Hutchings saw a honey bee buzzing about on landay, and the robins appeared in numbers on that day. Speaking of robins, Mrs. Lloyd Makins reported that on January 24, in St. Petersburg, Florida, there were flocks of robins flying north. The people fed them there but next morn- ing they had all disappeared. Mr. and Mrs. Makins returned to Bayfield on March 15, and saw not a robin here! Neither did they notice any on the return trip, "Where did they go?" Mrs. Makins asked. Mrs. J. H. Cobb gave Lucy the answer: "They just fly north in liesurely stages," she said. "One year at Sunken Gardens when I was talking of coming home, a resident said, 'Oh don't leave to soon. The robins haven't gone yet'." Other signs of spring were the almost constant stream of motor cars along Bayfield Terrace on Sunday. And, yes, three young girls with red coats open and flying in the wind, The first stirring of Spring! The long winter has gone and with it a host of Lucy's good intentions, unfulfilled. Now they'll have to go until next winter, for from now on the season will bring new duties and new interests. We come to life and plan for 'the Summer! But before that we must make up our minds for whom we will vote on April 8. With all four parties campaigning for a stable government, 'it must be a difficult decision to make in most ridings, . - the April meeting, Plan,s were made for t painting of the interior of the church to be done in May. A crib quilt was quilted dur- ing the afternoon and the meeting Closed with the Mizpah benediction and lunch was serv- ed by the hostess, The April meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Tom Sowerby, Crutches Receive League, he added. near Dungannon.
