Advance sale of tickets indicates the show may bring a Sell-out. Canada's most popular western fiddler,' King Ganam, has never been far away from a violin since he was five years old. His romance with the instru- Inept started in his home near Swift Current, Sask„ when he was Jive years old. King's par- ents took him to a Christmas concert where a fiddler was one of the attractions. The small boy had never heard the instrument played before, and was se taken with it that he pestered his family until they produced, a small fiddle for their persistent son. He learned to play it by ear under the old-time fiddlers in the Swift Current district.

With that success behind him, King turned to serious study of the violin, while continuing his radio work and playing for dances.' In 1942, he moved to Ed- monton, and organized his group, the Sons of the West. He and the group were on the .CBC radio series, "Alberta Ranch House" for five years. In 1950, King and the Sons of the West entered the World Open Western Band competition at the Pacific National Exhibition and walked away with the $1,000 first prize, after playing a program comprised of all-Ganam composi- tions. This was followed by a trans - Canada tour (the first of three), during which the group made a number of RCA Victor record- ings. King has made a total of 22 records and most of thein are his own compositions. His latest, "Carefree Heart," features "Pick the Stars" grand award winner, Pat Morgan, on the vocal. In 1952, King moved to Toronto where he and the group were featured at Mart Kenney's Ranch for 10 weeks and were booked to play Saturday nights at the fam- ous Casa Loma. King has, estab- lished a new record at the Casa Loma, having played there every Saturday night for four consecu- tive years. He was also the featured fiddler on "Holiday. Ranch" for some time, and had his own "King Ganam Show" on the CBC Trans -Canada radio net- work for a year. Last summer King and the Sons, of the West toured 22 Ameri- can cities and appeared on ABC - TV's, "Pee Wee King Show."

For many years the standard of inalting quality, OAC 21 has not previously shown the yield - big ability of varieties like Mont - calm. However, under the hus- bandry of Ed Wallace this var- iety topped all yields in* last year's Ontario High Yield Malt- ing Barley Contest. Any grower who thinks he can beat Mr. Wallace's record will have a chance to try this year. And the barley Research Insti- tute has provided $1,000 in prize money to make it worth his while. Varieties eligible for the contest this year are OAC 21, Montcalm and the new Park- land. Entries close June 15.

As .spec311 feature of the An- Immediately following t h e nual Hurons Junior Farm,. meeting a report is submitted gi- er At Horn& Dance, Friday night, the North Huron .-Junior Farmers and Junior Institute were pre- sented the H. R. Baker Program Improvement Trophy. This is the second time the tro- phy has been presented; last year's winner was the Seaforth Junior Farmers and Junior Insti- tute. The H. R, Baker Program Im- provement Trophy was donated by the former associate agricul- tural representative to be present- ed annually to the Junior Farmer Club judged .to have the best set of meetings during the year. It is believed this is the only com- petition of this type being carried out in the province and officials think it is one of the factors which helped to make 1956 one of ,the most active years as far as the Huron County Junior Farmers are concerned: • The competition is open with- out entry fee to all the junior farmer clubs which are affiliat- ed ,with the Huron County Junior Farmer Associations. The award is made on a yearly basis tak- ing into consideration all meet- ings which were held by the clubs, The administration of the com ment of judgeS is in the hands of the competition ceinmittee of he Cuonty Junior Farmers whose de- cision is final on all questions. The trophy may be won only twice in succession by any one club. The judges may visit with- out notice any meeting or meet- ings of the tomtit:ling clubs. In order that sufficient informa- tion will be .available concerning each meeting, a notice. of each meeting is submitted at least ten days previous to the meeting in- cluding the following information: the date, the place, the guest speaker, the subject of the meet- ing and any other arrangements which have been made forthe meeting, wing attendance, the subject dis- cussed, the names of the mem- bers who took part in organizing and presenting the meeting and any other information concerning the Meeting such as changes in program, reasons for poor atten- dance, etc. • From these reports a' total of 100 points is allotted for each meeting based on theicomplete- ness of the reports, the atten- dance and the participation of the members in the program. Two sets of judges were appoin- ted by the committee for 1956, each Of which visited two of the regular club meetings held by each of the clubs in the county. Each of the meetings were scored by the judges giving a possible total of 300 points according to the merits of the meeting on the following points: starting on time, attendance, participation, atten- tion of members throughout meet- ing, preparation of meeting place, organization of the meeting, length of meeting, reception of guests and reception of new mem- bers and visitors. The judges for 1956 were Mr. and Mrs. George Robertson and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pyni. The results of the competition were: North Huron, 3040; Seaforth, 2999; Clinton, 2464; Howick, 4339; South Huron, 2096; Colwanosh, 1977. Each year the winning club is presented with a gavel which is a replica of the larger trophy with the understanding that; the gavel is to be used at all the re- gular meetings held by the club. "Since this is the first competi- tion of • this type carried out by the Junior Farmers Association, we realize that there are a num- ber of minor changes which should be made in the regula tions of the competition," said Art Bolton, ,aset ag, rep, "How- ever it has served a useful pur- pose in the past two years in en- couraging the clubs to maintain a high standard in organizing their Monthly program. ul,tjIiliIiillliUiiIi,iuittjuij,i4t,Ifl4Itj 1111 ttttt I ttttt t I ttt tt t tttttt tt I tt tttt t ttt 1111111,t, Farmers , • Be Prepared For Spring Seed and fertilizer pricevare. at their LOWEST now. ,e.

I know by the calendar thi greeting is a bit late but farmers I think spring seedin is the beginning of a new year During the past months w farmers have been making plan for our crops. What variety o oats should we ab -w? Can w scratch up enough money fo some Vernal alfalfa? Should w try a few acres of buckwheat o that field with the twitch? Now we are bard at seeding, carry ing out the plans we made, try ing to produce a better cro than we did last year. While we are riding the trac tor back and forth across th fields I think it is a. wonderfu time to find answers to sour questions. How are you going to marke this crop? „Is it a cash crop H so will the soil be depleted How can you arrange to leav an equal amount of fertility t your son who will take over 2 years from now? Consider these things whil you are sowing because tha crop is of no value to you o your family unless you can dis pose of it profitably. Are yo making a financial success o farming by what you are. doin or by what you and your family are doing without? The Federation of Agricultur is your organization and is abl and willing to help you to im •prove the position of the farm ing industry but unless the in dividual farmer, gives sufficien united support nothing will b accomplished. . • HENSALL SALE PRICES Prices at Hensall Community Sale April 25 were: Weanling pigs $13,25 to $16.60 Chunks 18.20 to 22.00 Feeders 26.75 to 35.00 Sows. , 77.00 to 100.00 Holstein cows 150.00 to 169.00 Durham cows •••• 140.00 to 175,00 Holstein calves •••• 12.00 to 17.00 Durham calves 14.00to 33.00 Fat cattle sold to $14.40 a cwt..

Sugar' Beet Club Elects Officers By KEITH LOVELL TWenty.four members were present for the first meeting of the South Huron Sugar Beet Club on Monday, April 29. Officers elected were: presi- dent, Bill Etherington; vice-pres- ident Keith Coates; secretary, Carolyn Oke; press reporter, Keith Lovell, Club leaders are Bill Dougall and Bill Anios. Mr, Douglas Miles, new agricultural repre- sentative for Huron County also took part in the meeting. John Cass, of the Canada and Dominion Sugar Co., Chatham, discussed different methods of preparing a seed bed and the best.rotation for beets.. The coin- pany supplies seed and fertiliz- er for one acre for each mem- ber. Next meeting will be held MaY 15. .11.1.11 Beet Sowing Under Way About 30 acres of sugar beets have been sown in this district to date, Fieldman Bill Amos, of Parkhill, said Tuesday. Although the crop is going. In about three weeks earlier than last year, seeding time is about normal, be added. The Heldman expected acreage would be about the same as last year in the district. He antici- pates an increase 'in the Kippers area. Beet growers from Huron, Perth and Middlesex counties were told in Lucan, Friday night the coming season will be a good one for their industry. Representatives of the agri- cultural department of the Can- ada and Dominion Sugar Coin- pany, Chatham, predicted a bet- ter labor picture than has been known for the past few years, a fast -maturing seed program and better mechanical methods, Also of importance, it was pointed out, the price of sugar has increased from $7 a hund- red -weight in January, 1955, to $10.69 a hundredweight this month, C. E. Broadwell, of the sugar company's agricultural depart- ment, outlined a four -point me- chanization scheme currently be- ing conducted to cut costs. In- cluded, was use of monogerm seed, precision drill planting, chemical weed control, and me- chanical thinning. B. E. Easton, sugar company agricultural superintendent, said the labor picture is improved with laborers due from Trieste, Germany, Holland, France and England. Some have already ar- rived in the area and more are expected as the beet season gets under way about June 1. William Essery 'and John B. Kennedy, Ontario Sugar Beet Growers' Marketing Board direc- tors, were co-chairmen for the "beet growers' night" in Stan- ley hall. Huron County Crop Report Heavy rains during the latter part of the week temporarily haulted seeding operations, which started on Monday of this week for a large percentage of the farmers in the county. Farmers report that most of the fields are in gockl working condition and that a good seed bed could be 'prepared with 'a minimum of cultivation. Fall wheat, hay and pasture crops are making a very rapid growth with the warm, humid weather which prevailed during the week. As in the case most years, a large number of farmers ne- glected to obtain their seed sup- ply before it was needed. Con- sequently the seed cleaning plants have been working at top speed to meet this last minute rush for seed. Two Irishmen came over from the old country, They stooped at a hotel for the night and found the bedbugs were so thick that they could not sleep. . So they went out on the porch to sleep.

Attending the meeting were George Jones, of the Field Husbandry Department, OAC, Guelph; A. S. Bolton, assistant ag. rep., for Huron; Andrew Amon, SHAHS agriculture teach- er; Hensall Kinsmen Bill Mickle, Frank Pearce and Conrad Me - :Roberts, and Bob Allen, progres- sive young Brucefield farmer. j Members of the Hensall 4-H White Bean Club, which is spon- sored by Kinsmen, will do test work in pre -emergent sprays - liquids applied at seeding time which prevent weeds from com- ing out of the ground, but allow. crops to grow. Results of this type of weed control will be corn?, pared to that of conventional methods. Corn Yield Its Recor Higher corn yields were ob- tained in 1956 than in any previ- ous year on Brookston clay soil at the Canada Department of .Agriculture Experimental Sub- station, Woodslee, Ontario. An average yield of 114.7 bush- els per acre of shelled corn at 15 per cent moisture was recorded on the most productive soil treat- ment under test in 1956. Surpris- ingly enough, this yield was ob- tained on soil that had produced a corn crop in 1955. Previous to 1955 two years of alfalfa hay were grown on this soil. The soil for the high yielding treatment was plowed in the fall of 1955 and given conventional tillage in the spring of 1956. Adequate amounts .of phosphor- ous and potash were applied to the soil and in addition nitrogen was applied for the corn crop at a very high rate. The recoil, - mended population of 16,000 corn plants per acre was used in the experiment. Although much higher corn yields than 114.7 bushels per acre have been renorted on more open textured soils in Southwestern Ontario, 100 bushels per acre has been considered to be an excep- tionally good yield on Brookston clay soil in Essex County. Sev- eral of the better soil treatments at Woodslee in 1956 yielded over 100 bushels per acre, states J, W. Aylesworth. In these tests the application of available nitrogen ranged from 66 to 132 pounds per acre, rates which - are more in line with recommendations for Brookston clay at the present tim e.

Yield 'and size of the Sanilae 'bean is comparable to Michelits but it is harvested at, least; one week earlier. It is a bush -type bean which holds its pods 'up in- stead of sending them out on runners, The new seed will be field- tested by Bob .Allen, Brucefield, and two other co-operators in the area which are still being sought, Officials want to compare Sanilae with Michelite and Clipper 'vari- eties at both the north and south end of the growing area as well as near the lakeshore. Other test work on Sanilac is being done this year in Kent County, which rivals South Huron as the bean -growing capital of' Canada. The bean improvement" pro- gram was sparked by the King - men Club, who felt their 4-H club could be mor active in promot- ing new met ds and varieties, Said Pa President Bill Mickle: " e thought the 4-11 club could do more work along this line so we contacted ()AC through the local office of the Depar tment of Agriculture. Everyone has been very to - operative in working out a pro. gram, -and I think it will prove quite successful." No field experiments in bean. have been done in this area intim past, Mickle said, Most of it is done on Government farms at Ridgctown and Ottawa. i • . Put Support Support 'tUnder 'Fowl I The Minister of Agriculture °has announced that the Agricultural !Prices Support Board has been !authorized to provide a' support price for fowl produced in Cana- da. • The support is 011 the basis of a price equivalent to 23 cents per pound live weight at Toronto for top geode fowl five pounds and over, marketed for slaughter from August I. to November 30, 1957, with appropriate differen- tials for other weights and princi- pal markets throughout Canada. ' The minister stated further that he hoped by introducing this additional support for the poul- try industry that a measure of stability woulld be provided in the main marketin season for fowl. He indicated that this price was slightly above recent market prices. and Sons Limited • Phone 32 a'6&,xarays WE HAVE AMPLE . • . • • • STOCKS ON HAND IN Clover 6E.
