Bean seed tests
cause concern
By D. H. MILES
Huron Ag Rep
Have you had a germination
test on the white bean seed
you are going to sow soon?
We have had reports that
some seed is germinating only
7.5t.1,, according to the plant
r:oducts laboratory, Canada
Department of Agriculture.
The old blotter test often used
to determine the germination
is not good enough this year
2 some of .the 25% ,do start
serouts but fail to develop the
permal bean plant.
• Care should be taken 'to de-
termine the germination of
your seed. Use seed on which a
test has been taken, look at the
tai see .the test rating.
If in doubt of the germina-
1,' on of your seed, sow 20%
more seed.' If you have been
sowing 40 lbs. of seed per acre,
sow 50 lbs. this year. If the
plants come too thick and
germination is good, harrow to
take out the extra beans and
control weeds also. •
The hot, dry summer of 1960
and the low moisture content
cf. beans at harvest time may
have been a factor in poor ger-
mination of; some, seed, this
spring.

Fieldman comments
Urge farm training
in vocational school
Bv J. CARL. HEMINGWAY
HFA Fieldman
At the Huron Federation of
Agriculture meeting May 9
there was a lengthy discussion
on the development of a corn-
posite school for the county.
• Since the federation, in con-
junction with the county Wom-
en's Institutes instigated this
action through a resolution to
county council education com-
mittee and since. the federa-
tion has for years been de-
manding equal opportunity of
education for rural young peo-
ple, the meeting approved the
idea of a composite school pro-
vided agricultural training is a
definite part of the program.
The meeting endorsed the
resolutions of the county cream
producers which requested,
briefly, that a consumer sub-
sidy be paid on butter of 100
per pound; that cream pro-
ducers received a payment
eqUal to the .250 now being
paid on manufacturing milk;

open meeting of the Kirkton
Horticultural Society in Aber-
deen Hall last Tuesday.
The hall was appropriately
decorated with spring flowers.

themurns were shown by Mr.
Truman Smith, president of
the London Horticultural So-
ciety, and 'Mr. George Oakley.
They also showed several pic-
tures of Mr. Leonard Wilson's
gardens in St. Marys. These
pictures were all beautiful as
well as educational.

Harvey Taylor, chairman of
the county co-op insurance
committee, reported sales con-
tinuing at record levels in the
county, He also indicated that
a county -wide canvass of all
farmers would be undertaken
in the near future for the pur-
pose of making farmers aware
of ‘the extra risks •that are in-
volved in operating a farm
business..
Bob IIVIcGregor reported that
the beef producers at their an-
nual meeting approved a vol-
untary, deduction of 100 per
head of cattle to be attached
to the bill of lading when cat-
tle are to be sold. The money
so raised will be used to fi-
nance the organization and
promote the sale of beef..
Ab Bacon reported that' the
new method of sale for hags
which has been in operation
only a few days seems to be
resulting in wide fluctuations
in price. This is likely to cause
serious dissatisfaction among
farmers, he stated.
Alf Warner reported that
sales of "Fame" shares are
progressing favorably but an
effort is being put forth to find
canvassers that can give
enough time to cover the terri-
tory more quickly. It is hoped
that the objective of two mil-
lion dollars can be reached by
Nov. 1, This would make it
possible to have -plants in op-
eration next summer. With the
increased marketings of botb.
hogs and cattle for 1962 it is
urgent that we do everything
possible to promote the sale of
our products.
Plans have been fairly well
completed for the mutual dairy
princess contest to be :held at
the Clinton Spring Fair. All
we need now is mare .con.-
testants.
