The South. Huron Plowmen's
Association wil continue to spon
sor a district plowing match des
pite a discouraging lack of in
terest. it was decided at the an
nual meeting Saturday afternoon
ip Exeter Town Hall.
Officers complained they have
not been receiving the support
and assistance of directors and
others in organizing the match.
Most of the work has been left
to a small group.
Although short on manpower,
the Association shows a healthy bank balance, according to retir
ing Secretary-Treasurer Bruce
Shapton.

Wally Becker. of R,R, 3 Parkhill,
Who succeeds Don Easton, of R.R.
3. Exeter.

Crop Report
Farm work is mostly confined
to chores and h-u&h work, al
though continued snow falls have
made hush work difficult.
(Each year there is an increas
ing -demand for Farm Account
Books. An examination of farm
records in the county for 19-55
shows for the most part a further decline in net farm income-this
was further augmented by the
very dry cropping .season of last
year.
(John Pym was elected -presi
dent of South Huron Junior
Farmers at their annual meeting
In SH!DH[S Wednesday evening.
-Past president is Douglas May;
vice-presidents are Maurice Love

By MRS. ROSS SKINNER
on
to
of
ricultural College, Guelph, advis
ed members not to do anything
of .their farms until they were
sure it would pay.
“Does it pay to cultivate a
field an extra time for another
five bushels of grain,*’ lie questi
oned. “Do you know how much
fertilizer you can profitably put
on a field?”
In determining the best crops
for a farxri, Mr. Leutz said the
memhets should assess the tex
ture of the soil and consider the
drainage for a farm and the elope
of the land.
He explained the#service C.A.C/
provides to help farmers achieve
a good program of crop produc
tion. He outlined use of the Ont

A Better Barnyard
Perhaps ‘the most unfortunate
blemish bn any farm is a dilapi
dated, muddy, baririyard. fh this
rigb of riiechrinizhtioh when niari-
ure loaders on farm tractors
have almost cdhipletely replaced
the hired man rind the fiVe tlrie
fork, it has become a necessity
to fill Up the iniidholes that
made up that area kndwn as the
barnyard.
Twenty yerirs ago -barnyards
received much needed protection
from the large strriw stacks. It
Was common practice to throw
off the half rotted straw around
the edge and this was left as a
cover. Today, with the coming of
hybrid corn, stacks are a rarity.
More and more farmers are
wondering whether to hard-
surface the yard or what?
To begin with, the -cost is go
ing to be considerable, whether
they use a concrete or asphalt
black top. All the estimates we
have obtained seem to favour
concrete for this area as. con
siderable saving can be made if
you are ambitious enough to
consider doing the job /yourself.
Also considerable savings on
-freight are involved due to the
proximity of local .gravel supplies
compared, to the mix plants, and
a concrete surface can be laid
any convenient time. The most
“vital” area can be laid this year
and the other sections
and finances permit.
Before starting the
little thought should be
to whether fM__ A.
the farming program w’ill be
made during the next decade. We
suggest that serious thought -be
given this matter, and before
pouring the slab a blueprint be
drawn on paper showing all the
dimensions of the different com
binations the yard can be divided
into. We remember seeing a basic
blueprint in the “Country Gentle
men” which showed several dif
ferent set-ups that made paved
yards not a luxury but money
making investments by simply
■placing pieces of two-inch pipe
flush in the concrete.
The only permanent fence op
a yard is the perimeter, and in
this case we do not think it
should be h. wire fence. Wire
fence has that aggravating habit
of stretching and sagging. Also
it doesn’t withstand the rough
usage that a yard fence receives.
Our choice, after viewing many
different types, is a four-foot
fence made of 2x6x16. These are
made up in gates for flexibility
and 'believe it or not that flexi
bility is needed. Hung on iron
posts the sections can be raised
as the manure in the yard builds
up. In order to give rigidity the
posts are placed slightly offset
in the manner to the old shake
fence. This idea should also -be
applied when drawing up the
plans for dividers in the yard,
only in this case all dividers
should be in lengths most con
venient to handle. ~
Agricultural engineers tell us
that, If adequate drainage is
.placed under a concrete slab,
four inches thick, made of the
correct mix .(1 to 6), the life*
time expectancy is 40 years or
more. That is Considered to be
lifetime service in terms Of years
that the average farmer, carries
on farming activities.
So, although it looks like a
lot of money io pave a barnyard
■the -experts tell us it pays divi
dends and anyone who has al
ready done so tell us they simply
Can’t understand Why they had
not done more careful planning
iii regards to fences and dividers.
DID YOU KNOW?
Eggs without shellsU That’s
the latest marketing experiment
being ceiTfed on at Cornell Uni
versity. A professor there says
It will Work like this: Eggs laid
by hens will be placed iri a
as time
job a
given as
future changes in
program w’ill
machine which will break the
shblis, arid ddpriMt the1in
the cup-like compartments 6i a.
special plastic criritalrier. Carbon
dioxl-de is added to. maintain
quality, and a strong film is de
posited over the compartment to
seal them. Human hands don’t
touch the eggs,
housewives can poach or boil
and serve the eggs in the .in
dividual compartinents. For fry
ing or scrambling, they will have
to be dumped out.
Comment: Why add to the
consumer price’ of -a farm pro
duct when nature has already
provided a perfect vacuum-packbd
container? Or should we ask the
hen to lay eggs in plastic con
tainers?
