Magistrate J. C. Dunlap,
QC, levied a total of $1,229.00 in
fines for 118 charges heard in
Grand Bend's final court of the
summer, Tuesday.
The charges had been laid
for the entire month as no
court was held during August
and the majority of fines were
for illegal possession of alco-
hol, minor traffic charges and
violations of by-laws in the re-
sort.
Most of the persons charged
had paid bail bonds to the OPP
officers and only three 16-
year-old youths were in court
to answer charges.
One of the three, John Wilds,
London, who pleaded guilty to
a charge of theft; was re-

Wm. Johns
tax collector
Funeral services were con-
ducted Saturday, September 1
at the Hopper-Hockey funeral
home, Exeter, for the late Wil-
liam Johns, 84, who died at his
home in Elimville Thursday
morning.
Son of the late Silas and
Sarah (Miners) Johns, he was
born in Usborne Township Ap-
ril 10, 1878, where he farmed
until he retired to Elimville in
1941.
He was an active member of
Elimville United Church serv-
ing on the session and on the
board of stewards.
Mr. Johns was tax collector
for Usborne Township for 24
years retiring in 1961. He vis-
ited every farm in the town-
ship many times before the
practice of mailing the tax not-
ices was started.
In 1905 he married Ida Grace
Passmore, who died in Decem-
ber 1938. In 1948 he married
Miss Mabel McGugan, who pre-
deceased him in March 1960.
He is survived by two sons,
Gilbert Johns and Allen Johns,
Usborne; four daughters, (Mrs.
Fred (Margaret) Long, Atwood,
Mrs. Grant (Dorothy) Ratcliffe,
Anderson, Mrs. James (Eilene)
Grinney and Mrs. Keith (Ethel-
ene) Fraser, both of Mt. Pleas-
ant, 25 grandchildren and two
great grandchildren; one sister
Mrs, William Pybus, Exeter,
and one brother, Alden, Saska-
toon, Sask,
A daughter Hazel died in

Interment was in Exeter
cemetery. Pall bearers were
Philip Johns, Kenneth Johns,
John Ridley, Harold Bell, Lav-
erne Skinner and Harold Kers-
lake.
Jack Peck'S, Kipper), were ins
spected by close to 100 farm-
ers at the fourth -annual sunrise
bean meeting Thursday It was
th best turnout yet.
Regional soils specialist Jack
Murray, London, explained the
variety of tests, which continue
the fertilitY experiments begun
several years ago in the Kip-
Pen area,
Canada Dep't of Agriculture.
.If they measure up, they will
be among the 388 head of Cana-
dian. Herefords purchased by a
three-man Russian team of
livestock experts.
Most of the cattle were pur-
chased in Alberta but Ontario
breeders will contribute 76 heif-
ers and nine bulls. The Onta-
rio breeders received a higher
price for their animals — be-
tween $350 and $400 each.
The total consignment is val-
ued at more than $140,000.
Among the area shippers are
W. S. O'Neill, Denfield; Herb-
ert Eedy, Dungannon; Ernest
Brown and R, E. Thompson,
Clinton, and E. P. Haase Sea-
forth.
Maurice Hirtzel said last
week the animals are undergo-
ing an extensive series of
tests. "They have had blood
tests TB tests and half a dozen
other things."
'Ex' sweep
for Dearing
Preston Dearing's Dorset
Horned sheep, which swept
awards at the CNE again last
week, also hit the pages of one
of Toronto's daily newspapers
but without their owner.
Twin lamb/ rams owned by
the Stephen breeder were fea-
tured in a news picture with
a pretty blonde dancing girl
from the grandstand show. "I
wouldn't have minded getting
in the group somewhere,"
chuckled Mr. Dearing, "but
they didn't want me, just my
rains,"
The Dearing sheep captured
every champion and reserve
champion award in the class as
well as every first and second
prize. Sixty-five Dorset Horneds
competed.
The Stephen farmer's son,
Gerald, assisted with the show-
ing. The competition took place
Friday.
Just to prove he has lots of
reserve in prize-winning sheep,
Mr. Dearing took another group
to the Hanover fair next day
and won all the major awards
there.

,"file question now is: how
much fertilizer? Jack Murray
thinks one plot this year with
500 Pounds to the acre will more
than pay for the fertilizer, but
where the point of no return is,
we're not sure yet."
The tests also have proven
that fertilizer applied to the
side and below the beans at
time of planting is superior to
pre-planting with the grain drill,
It may be however, that both
pre-planting of fertilizer and
following by applications to the
side and below at time of seed-
ing will give even a better re,
turn, but more testing is re-
Ottired to establish this.
No herbicide yet
Contrary to a suggestion made
earlier this year during a soil
and crop tour, Dick Frank of
the Western Ontario Agricul-
tural School said he didn't fore-
see the development of any sat-
isfactory herbicide within the
next year or two.
A chemical called Lorax,
which has been successful in
soya beans, was tried on two
Huron county farm this year
but in both cases considerable
harm was done to the crop
Mr. Frank said no herbicide
has been developed yet which
the department could recom-
mend for beans.
Seaway has place
Dr. Wen Snow, also of WOAS,
discussed the new varieties be-
ing developed, He said Seaway,
the most recent variety on the
market, has found a place with
its shorter maturity date. If
seeding can he done early, he
indicated Sanilac is still the
better producer; however, if
planting can't be done until June
20 or later, Seaway is the bet-
ter bet.
Jack Peck, on whose farm the
test plots were undertaken,
sowed Seaway this year after
taking off a crop of hay.
Dr. Howard Clark, of the Can-
