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; that, the ban on the sale of Horticultural society views floral pictures By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS KIRKTON A large crowd attended the open meeting of the Kirkton Horticultural Society in Aber- deen Hall last Tuesday. The hall was appropriately decorated with spring flowers. Pictures on the growing of tuberous begonias anclechrysan- 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. Other pr e g r a m numbers v'ere: dance, Patricia Round- el; readings by Mrs. Jack Finkbeiner and Mrs. Jeff Rob- Thson; piano solo, Barbara l'airn; piano duet, Mrs. Bert Duffield and Mrs. Milne Pul- len; vocal duet, Elizabeth and Linda Thacker.

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.
