for the best
corn weed control
you ever had
For good corn weed control, rain or shine, mount
a spray rig on your tractor, disc or Danish type
cultivator and mix SUTAN and atrazine into the soil
as you work corn ground for planting.
This puts your best corn herbicide in the only
place a herbicide works . . . right in the soil where
weeds sprout. No gambling on rain
to make it work, no loss from sun,
wind or erosion on the surface.
Now is the time to get your tank,
pump and spray boom hooked up
to develop a sure weed control
system. Then see your local Chip-
man Chemicals dealer for your
1 972 supplies of SUTAN corn
herbicide.

WEIGHT CONSCIOUS BUYERS PLAN SHOPPING TRIPS
A shopping trip to the local supermarket can be as unnerving an
experience as the battle of Dunkirk.
That is why weight conscious homemakers should have a battle plan
beforejoining the lineup of shopping carts and elbowing through the
countless displays and special aisles that are so tempting.
You are vulnerable, vulnerable to new products, appealing packag-
ing and items priced two for one — whether you believe it or not.
Moreover, the slightest anxiety and frustration is often enough to
start you picking up little snacks that can turn into an eating binge.
However, determination and advance planning can make a weekly
shopping trip work for and within your weight programme.
First have a list. It is essential that you plan your shopping. Work
out a weekly menu. Also shop when you are well fed, well rested and
when the stores are not crowded. Fatigue and frustration, waiting in
long line-ups or hunting for things in a store that is unfamiliar, can
lead to temptation.
Shop alone without distraction whenever possible. Remember that
it is unwise to try to cook meals right after your shopping expedition.
Putting the groceries away is itself a large enough job to undertake.
Keep a "bonus" corner in your kitchen for a generous supply of non-
fattening snacks.
Prom time to time treat yourself to one or two items bought in an
attractive food store such as a cheese shop. The pleasant surround-
ings and a wide choice of slimming foods will help you to remember
that there are still many things which you are allowed to have while
watching your weight.
You will be delighted to see that as pounds drop off the food budget
slims down, too. No more "invisible bills" run up in bake shops or
at the candy counter. Remember there is little waste with a little
waist.
Enjoy shopping and realize that it's possible to be a slim shopper'as
well as a smart one.
Tips to remember;
1. Shop with a list.
2, Shop alone if possible.
3. Avoid shopping when tired or hungry,
4. Don't shop when the market is crowded.
5. Try to buy in a place familiar to you.
6. Don't taste — tasting leads to trouble,
7. Plan your meals.

matter of principle
IIIIIMMIMMNIIMIMINIIIIMIMIN
BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY
As you read this article please remember that the writer worked for
five and a half years with the county Federation of Agriculture and
during that time met a very large number of farmers not only in the
county but in many parts of the province. What you may not realize is
the fact that I still get around quite a lot where I still meet these friends
and we talk about farming.
Let's consider the situations I happened to run across in the last few
months. All of these cases refer to what I consider younger farmers but
remember I'm not as young as I used to be.
The first has, operated a large acreage for several years and has the
ability to produce the feed for his expanded feed lot of between 400 and
500 feeders. This year with the high price of calves he didn't purchase
enough feeders to filrthe lot and has taken in feeders from others. The
lot is still running under capacity, When he adds up the total investment
and estimates interest he has to pay, to say nothing of the interest he
might be collecting on his own money in the operation, he is not happy
either with the present income or the prospects for the near future at
least.
The second farmer has been more "old fashioned." His acreage is
not so large, he has had a small silo for years which he filled on a
'custom basis with corn sileage. He purchased 50 to 60 steers and
finished them, pasturing during the summer. He has grown mixed grain
and barley for the cattle and the surplus was fed to pigs. It wasn't good
enough. This year he is going to a feed lot. This means stable
renovation, a silo to feed 200 or more feeders, the small silo will be
used for high moisture corn, and pasture will be plowed up for corn.
Complete corn sileage equipment will be purchased.
The third farmer is operating on a somewhat smaller scale without
the use of corn. He buys heifers, about 400 lbs. in the fall, feeds them
through the winter, pastures them in the summer and sells in the fall.
Last fall he received a trifle over $70 more each than he paid for them.
He also feeds surplus grain to, pigs. This farmer is not making any
plans tpAaRg:04§,pr r a
None of these farmers'aretoo confident of the future except that they
are convinced that food is going to be needed for a long time yet. The
financial returns are much more Uncertain.
In contrast Lord Thomson of Fleet was the guest .on Front Page
Challenge tonight. He bought a newspaper for $200 cash and a number of
notes in the early '30's. Now it is doubtful that he could accurately say
how many millions he has. It was interesting to hear him say
opportunities are better today to be highly successful financially than
in his time, "Anyone can be quite well off if he applies himself
energetically." In Lord Thomson's eyes, I think th would mean a
minimum of perhaps $50,000 a year.
Perhaps he is right—anyone might attain it—but even in a
prosperous country like Canada everyone cannot. Will any or all of
these three farmers attain this goal?
' Perhaps for those of us who are concerned about the poverty in so
many parts of the world I can only conclude this article at the end of this
Easter season with the words of "Cannon"—"Lord, how vast is Thy
ocean—and how small my dory."

BY MIL VENA ERICKSON
The first general _meeting of the
Huron County Historical Society
was held in the Trinity Church
Parish Hall, Bayfield, Monday
evening, April 10 with a good
attendance.
Chairman for the evening was
Mr. Turner who is president of
the Huron Society,
Mr, Ed Oddleifson, Reeve of
Bayfield welcomed the Society
and said it was a great pleasure to
host the meeting and on behalf of
the Village extended a very
sincere and warm welcome and
hoped they would have a
successful, pleasant and
informative meeting.
Mrs, Popp, secretary, gave her
report of the last general meeting
in 1971 held in Walton and
informed the members that their
second meeting will be held in
Gorrie on Wednesday evening,
May 31 and their third meeting
will be in the form of a bus trip,
June 14 to Black Creek Pioneer

the Kleinberg Art Gallery; also in
July, a plaque unveiling is to be
held in St. Josephs to honour the
late Mr. Narcissus Cantin.
Mrs. John McCowan, R.R.3,
Seaforth, gave a most interesting
summary on the history of
Colonel Van Egmond, and on The
Van Egmond property in
Egmondville. From a book
written by Prof. G. H. Needier,
she stated that Colonel Van
Egmond was an outstanding figure
in early history and was of

he immigrated to Canada
in 1827 and had five sons and three
daughters, He died in December
1837 and a Van Egmond
Foundation has been formed to
preserve the home and history of
the Van Egmonds in Egmondville.
The Foundation has just received
its charter,
Mrs. A. S. Morton, president pf
the Hayfield Historical Society,
spoke on Hayfield and stated that
it was the second community
founded in Huron County and was
first incorporated in 1876 with W.
R. Connor as Reeve. Ten bylaws
were enacted regarding such
things as liquor laws, traffic
problems (speeding on streets-
nothing more than d fast trot),
constables' duties, an animal
bylaw, hawkers and • 'traders
bylaw, Sunday ordinances, etc.
Brigadier Fred Clift then
outlined the eight new bylaws
passed after reincorporation in
1965 (Hayfield had
disincorporated in 1927 and
reverted to a police village under
jurisdiction of Stanley Township
in order to get electricity). The
new bylaws were not entirely
different from those of 1876 as we
still had speeding problems, dogs
running at large, hawkers and
traders coming into the village
and constables' duties to be set
up,
Mrs. Leroy Poth of Bayfield,
showed historical slides and with
a most interesting and
informative commentary took us
through parts of Huron County
Perth County and Bayfield;
showing buildings that once were
historical landmarks and now
have disappeared through fires or
a general tearing down; still some
are standing and are well
preserved, Some shots of old-
fashioned post-cards and
Christmas greeting cards on a
humorous vein; waterfront
scenes; which were all most
interesting; and during the
showing of these slides people
could be heard remarking on the
location of numerous of the
historical structures being
shown.
Rev. Jennings mentioned in
passing that the Goderich Jail was
slated for demolition and hoped
the Society were giving serious
consideration to preserving it for
its historical value.
A social hour followed in which
Mr. Doig of Seaforth thanked the
ladies in the kitchen who had
served a very delightful lunch.
Numerous displays had been
set up from chronological notes
on Bayfield history front 1830
when Baron de Tuyll (Sr.)
purchased the Hayfield Estates
from the Canada Company of 3000
acres—to 1927 when Hayfield
disincorporated to 1965 when it
was reincorporated with Brig,

minute books; tax books;
assessment rolls; old school
pictures and buildings; the first
type of light bulb used in the
village; a magic lantern (used to
show slides); to the earliest pier
lights used in Hayfield on Signal

Words alone cannot describe
the hours of work that has been
done to photostat, catalogue and
preserve the documents and
articles by our Hayfield Society in
order to keep our history alive,
