Huron County
Crop Report.
By ARTHUR BOLTON
Extremely good weather for
the last week of October has
made it possible for farmers
in•the county to finish many of
the jobs which sometimes are
left undone because of fall wea-
ther.
If this good weather continues
for another week most of the
grain corn in Huron County will
have been picked and stored,
Most of the sod whichfarmers
plan to plow for spring crops
will have been plowed. •
Showers early in the week
were valuable in increasing the
amount of moisture which was
in the soil makink it consider-
ably easier to plow or cultivate.
Pastures remain in good Con-
dition and are expected to carry
the cattle as long as the wea-
ther will permit. Many farmers
report that they have more cat-
tle than their stable will hold
but the price situation as faras
beef is concerned indicates that
this is not the tune to market
cattle which can be satisfactor-
ly fed for a longer period.

Forums Essential
To New farming
"Farm Forums are' basic to a
new agriculture" said Dr. F. W.
Walsh, Deputy Minister of Agri-
culture for Nova Scotia, when
closing the recent. Farm. Forum
orkshop at 1.ictou,
"The new agriculture will de-
mand persons with enough back-
ground, training and condition-
ing,
ondition-
in i
i.. to vork together an well
g, g
thought-out plans."
"We are now trying to .plan
the type of meeting which eali
be interesting to those who at.
tend, There is no place now for
the •old type of meeting which
had two sneakers who lectured
for over an hour after which
everyone went Koine."
Dr, Walsh clarified Farm: For-
um's
For-um s position in the new agri-
culture, and he 'said, "National
Farm Radio Forum is a hook-
up of farm families* scattered
over 3,000 miles; who gather
once a week to exchange ideas.
If more• farmers were using it,
and talking about their problems
they wouldbe conditioned to
do
the job and something would be
done.',' -
Thirty representatives of agri-
cultural organizations and adult
education services from three
Maritime provinces attended the
workshop. Plans- for fifteen one -
day Workshops to develop good
meeting procedures, and ideas
for helping people understand
how to use a service like Nation-
al Farm, Radio Forum received
considerable study during the
workshop,

1 Sarepta is a Small hamlet east rental.,
of Dashwoa.d, at the crossing At first William. Reynolds ear -
point of the Gashcii Line and , lied the mail from Sarepta to
the Stephen -Hay boundary (naw
part of Highway No. 83)..
I The name Sarepta is of Biblic-
lal origin but considerable en-
ui•has
i not revealed howit
,q y
came to be applied to this com-
munity.
It is known that as early as
1866 William Reynolds was post-
master at Sarepta, having re-
ceived this appointment as a
reward for army services in the
Crimean War.
Former Hotel
Mr. Reynolds first lived in a
log house just north of where
he erected the big brick hotel
that is still the main building
at Sarepta.
Apparently, the hotel was built
in the late sixties. or early
'seventies. It is 34 by 44 feet and
the walls are three bricks thick,

Maple, upstairs and dawn. There
used to be a verandah across
the front but it was removed
owing to the growth of maple
trees close by.
On Stage Line
William Reynolds kept both a
general store and the post office
in the western part of the build-
ing. The hotel bar was in the
eastern portion. In the teaming
days •the Exeter -Grand Bend
Exeter on horse back. 'he past
office seems to have• been closed
for .a time as a directory refers;
to it, as being reopened in 1885.
Mr. Reynolds was still post-
master at the turn of the cen-
"tury.
William Reynolds was followed
by one of his sons, the late
Horatio Reynolds. The latter
owned half an :acre at the hotel
site and. .50 acres across the
road.
Horatio Reynolds lived at
Sarepta until about 18 years age
and then retired to London. He
still kept possession of the flute
his father played at the corona-
tion of Queen Victoria. The set
of chimes in the Evangelical
Church ,at Dashwood were do-
nated
by him.
After Horatio Reynolds the
hotel property was owned by
Everetta
H is twhadhoa McColl -
Frontenac agency in the old
post office room, He was - fol-
lowed by Robert A. Spicer,
About eight years ago the
place came into possession of
J. Norman Cowan, the present
owner, who had,previously been
an accountant in Detroit, The
building had been renovated • in
1922 and the Cowans now use it
as a residence.
Dates To. 1864
West of this is a .smaller brick
dwelling, now the 'home of Mrs.,
:Pagel 14 The Times,Ad.vocate, Nov,li*Lsr
betty Morena, ,:ler husband, the
late Louis Norma, was ; t vete-
Zan of World War I. Mrs. Idor-
enz has the first deed of this
property, a quaint beautifuilY
written document, dated August
26, 1864, when it was sold by
Christian Hoist to. Conrad Pfaff.
It is believed there was once
another tavern, iyest of the .
Reynolds,, hotel, but little is
known bf it now. A house that
was located between Mrs, Mor-
c 's e. and the Reynolds
building has been gone fo-over
70 years, it is said
;there was also a blacksmith '
shop on the southwest earner' at !
Sare.pta but it was moved to ,
Dashwood years. ago. Horatio
Reynolds later ,had a .seed clean- ; r
ing plant in a barn near the ' ,
shop site. Several years age
Norman Cew.an built .a restaur-
ant and Service station -at the
sante:. location, removing the
barn And a nearby pig pen 'to
make room for the new build-
ing. His business. has Since
expanded,
At one time there were three
'frame houses, on the southeast
corner, facing
the ain road.
There was
.also a frame Metho-
dist Church, about a quarter
mile eastward, on the north side
of the main thoroughfare. It
was later moved to Dashwood.
Charles Beaver, veteran farm-
er, came with his parents to
Sarepta about 70 year ago and
has lived just north of the ham-
let ever since.
About six years ago, when the
highway was put through, many
pieces of the original corduroy
were • dug up -oak still in - fair
shape,
