The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1954-09-23, Page 5THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1954 Page 5 Women Take Over Cattle Raising?1, That's What Hensail Fair Indicates If indications shown at Hen­ sall School Fair last week come true, women will take over cat­ tle raising from the men in the near future. Girls outnumbered boys three- to-one in this department of the public school competition and they carried off the top prizes. These included first and second in the beef heifer class, second in the beef steer class and first, second and third in showman­ship. Although the cattle competi­ tion was one of the most import­ ant of the fair, another animal division*— pets — was the most popular. Favorites of the child­ ren included rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, raccoons, budgie birds and 'pigeons. Almost one entire side of Hensall arena was devot­ ed to the display of these pets. Althohgh rain forced cancella­ tion of the outdoor parade and enteries were fewer than other years, the popular school fair at­ tracted over 50 0 adults and as many children. The schools p,a- *raded behind the Bannochburil Pipe and Drum Band around the arena "and the decorated bicycles, tricycles and doll buggies were shown there too. Five Schools Compete Schools participatin. the five - room School were Nos. smith; No. 10 Hibbert. School most prizes ionship trophy of the fair. Final results will not be known until the public speaking com­ petitions are held in Hensail Town Hall on October 8. These contests are included in the fair. The boy who appeared to be leading all individual competitors at the fair was Leslie Riley, of No. 7 Hibbert. This energetic ex­ hibitor captured 20 firsts, five seconds and one third by dis­ playing items in eight classes in- and vege- eggs, live- besides Public Tucker- No. 7 wins the ■eceives the chanip- Hensail 1 and 2 Hay and which eluding grain, roots tables, fruit, poultry, stock, pets and crafts. Paced by the Riley Boy, No. 7 Hibbert appeared to be leading in the school competition. William Park, chairman of the school fair board, was master of ceremonies for the fair. Officials who spoke at the opening and who assisted with the fair in­ cluded Elston Cardiff, Huron MP; Al Kerslake, reeve of Hen­ sail; Gerry Montgomery and Al­ vin Baker, agricultural repre­ sentatives of the county. Elston Cardiff told children that exhibiting in the fair “is the best way I know of to become a good sport. If you lose, try hard­ er the next time. It’s the best ex­ perience you could possibly get.” Clerk Jim Paterson is secre­ tary of the fair, (1’nless otherwise stated, contest­ ants are from Hensail.

We have found this a very good practice. During the few years we have been farming we have found that planting dates have a very large effect on the harvest. Not only does it control the yield of certain crops, hut also the weather for harvesting them, Take beans for instance. Any­ one who had pulled beans a week ago last Saturday has suffered considerable loss this past week. Whether there is anything to it or not we have heard the old timers say “Never plant beans until after the full moon in June”. To a certain extent that makes sense. Beans are highly susceptible to frost. Also they can’t stand too much wet wea­ ther until they are well up. Cold damp weather immediately fol­ lowing planting brings on “ball­ heads”, Weed control is another reason for slightly later planting. For a successful bean harvest many farmers have started to use a pencil and paper at planting time. They take the average ma­ turity of the variety they are planting and then taking the calendar they turn to the “Full Moon in September”. Counting the number of days back to plant­ ing time gives them a rough estimate of whether they will run into wet weather for harvest. Many farmers you talk to can hardly credit this. Many modern agriculturalists scoff at it, but we have talked to many growers who swear by it. We remember one year telling a neighbor about the system. He was in the field with the drill planting beans alongside the road when we came along. Of course, we stopped to chat. During the conversation we told the story as we had heard it from an older man. What a laugh he got! What a laugh we got in the fall. He turned and turned the beans. Daily! And then drew them into the barn—still tough! Now we try to be modern in our thinking. Many people today don’t believe the moon has any effect on* our weather. But wea­ ther chart averages tell a differ­ ent story. Moon phases are still a very simple way to forecast— (generally). We admit that it is not too accurate and that we have never exactly understood why the moon phases do seem to j control precipitation. We do know this from our sailing days that tides are figured in accordance with the moon phases and it is possible to obtain tide tables, a year in advance, for any port in the world for any date of the year and by referring to these tables ships’ officers are able to determine exactly how much the rise and fall of the t ide will be in any port. Perhaps some day our long range weather forecast­ ing will be as accurate as the tide tables. We sincerely hope so.

Rogers, pastor of Hensall United Church, was the guest minister for the Har­ vest Home Anniversary of the Women’s Association of James St. United Church. Taking as his theme “Spiritual' Conservation,” Rev. Rogers spoke of the conservation program car­ ried out at the Kirkwood desert i which has changed it to a place of new growth and beauty after it had been an unsightly spot fori 40 years after the pine trees had I been cut down for lumber. “The world is in need of spirit­ ual conservation which can only be brought about by the prayers, meditation and consecration of each Christian. It cannot be brought about without help from above any more than the new growth of pine trees could be possible without God’s sunshine and rain,” he said. Mr. Jack Levie, baritone, of Parkhill, as guest soloist, sang “I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked” and "God So Loved The World.” The choir sang an ap­ propriate anthem, “The The Lord’s.” .
