It was thought the property school tax was not a fair basis in S.S. 1 Stephen, as the rem nant of property owners, after the airport bought their proper ty, have to meet the taxes which were formerly paid by the whole school section. To improve the system of school finances in our province, it was suggested that, as is the system in some provinces, a small tax on all articles, bought and sold, which would be used to help defray education ex penses, would be of considerable help. ' Money wasted by the gov ernment would help pay the cost of education. The raise in sala ries of the members of parlia ment would coms under this category. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin King. Topics From Cred it on By MRS. J.

"What's this, Daddy?” asked our four year old. It was an old curb bit, hanging on the wall. The curbs were brass, green from neglect. How hard it was to explain to a boy, who seldom sees a team and out side of the Fairs never has .seen a horse being hitched to buggy or wagon, exactly why I used the word "bit”. He only associated that word with "brace and bit”. Later we came across some har ness "brights” in an old box. He was ecstatic. To him they were nothing but playthings, to me they were memories. On some farms, very few, (average in this district is two horses per 1000 acres) a team is still kept. True, they can be handy, but labor costs can make them very expensive. In the average barn today the horse stable is no more. This space is in pens for cattle and hogs or instead of a row of horse stalls a row of steel stanchions clank and rattle as the cows eat up the roughage and grain for- Message From Greenway By MBS.

As you may have -gathered from the preceding paragraphs Dobbin doesn’t work here any more. We just haven’t a job left for him to do. We haven’t the pasture for him. We haven’t got any room for him in the stable. In this modern age we simply can’t af ford to keep him around. We do have a pony for the kids to play with and feel that they may learn through it to love animals. Today, we would no more con sider a walking plow and a team than you would think of going back to the horse and buggy era. DID YOU KNOW?

School Exhibit Shows Yields A unique display, showing a wide variance in crop yields, will be exhibited at the Huron County Seed Fair in Clinton next week by SHDHS’b agriculture depart ment. Urging farmers to "sow the right variety to suit conditions’’, the display gives the results of corn and soya bean experiments conducted at the school last year. Yields from the different types of corn varied as much as 27.57 bushels to the acre, while var ieties of soya beans differed up to 8.6 bushels. To stress the point, the display says that in the corn test “the right variety produced three bu shels instead of two” and in the soya bean experiment "the right variety produced four bushels in stead. of three". Samples of the corn are on display. A mechanical device rotates signs comparing variety yields in other produce. Most of the fig ures on these comparisons are re ported by O.A.C. pupils of Grade 9, under the supervision of teach er Andrew Dixon, built the dis play. The South Huron display will be part of a group from other Huron county schools, Main theme of the school exhibitions is methods of cutting costs on the farm. Pupils in Grade 10 of the local school will compete in the junior farmer judging contest of seeds. A bushel of registered beans, produced on the school's.land, is being entered in the Middlesex Seed Fair at London and the Huron Fair. Above Average The corn experiment at SHDHS was also conducted in seven other schools in the province. Results in bushels per acre of the local tests and the average of the sev en are shown in the chart below. Mr. Dixon said no fertilizer had been used on the land in which the experiment took place. In all cases, the SHDHS yield was higher than average. Variety SHDHS Aver.
