J. A. Garner, secretary of the board, reported op the financial standing, W. P, Cornell, of Appin, told of the efforts made by the committee to. obtain and distribute pure lines of registered seeds. Last year two test plots were laid down in Hens.all and one at Ailsa Craig and another one at Western Ontario Experimental Farm, Ridge’ town. Weather conditions affected the test plot work, and another series of tests will doubtless be held this year. Due to the unfavorable weather conditions there was a large loss of beans both in acerage and in .quality in Huron district. Huron now stands second to Kent County for top place in bean production. None of the 1945 crop has gone to (Britain as the moisture content has ibeen such that shipment over­ seas has been unsafe. ‘For the year 1946 the following committee was 'appointed: George Armtsrong, .Exeter; John Arm­ strong, Dave Ducharme and Gus Roche, all of Zurich; W. F. Alex­ ander, Hensail, and Alonzo McCann, Dashwood. Juveniles Banquet A very enjoyable banquet wound up the hockey season for the Juven­ iles last Wednesday night.
