Amid :11-2ilt1 Beside CNR teflon Can control tulip blight Tulip blight can be a real headache in your tulip planting if you don't take a few simple precautions to contra]. it. One of the problems is that It over- winters right in your tulip beds or in diseased bulbs, so the fall is one of the times to fight it, say horticulturists of the On- tario Department of Agricul- ture. Tulip blight is also called botrytis or 'tulip fire, and affects all parts of the plant. Here are the symptoms: Tiny dark flecks first appear on the bulb scales Which later run together giving a burnt appearance. The margins be- come raised, while the disease areas are yellow or brown in color. Badly infected baths won't give you any plants next year; tulips that do survive will be stunted and blighted, giving a very poor showing. Here are some suggestions that will help you control the disease: • choose an open, sunny site With good air circulation for your bulbs; there will be less blight if the tops can dry quick- ly after rains or dew. • be sure to plant only dis- ease-free bulbs. Check them by removing the dry outer scales, and discard any that show dis- ease symptoms. • as the disease organism ean overwinter in the soil, try to avoid ground that has had tulips within the last 2 or 3 years. This is especially im- portant if any of your tulips showed signs of disease earlier this year.

The Huron Atlas of 1871 exactly 101 years ago — gave the total population of Huron as 66,165. This means that the en- tire population o! Huron. County is today 17,274 less than it was 101 years ago. Back in 1871, Colborne Town- ship had a population of. 2,420; Goderich Township had 3,615; West Wawanosh bad 2,748, To- day, the populations of these townships are considerably smaller. —Goderich Signal-Star well as dignity and recognition, for a country which by our standards is tinder-developed does not build itself; it must he built by its people, The stu- dents with whom we work are aware of this, and they regard it as a challenge, And their optimism reminds me of that optimism so (glee expressed by Canadian students when they are talking about Canada's fu- ture. In this way, we share a great deal in common with the Africans. Project finished On August 9, the last sheet of metal is bolted into place, and the building is completed. There is a ceremony with speeches, singing and dancing, and many tears of farewell, for the next morning, we return to Dakar for the final stage of our stay in Africa, In our five weeks here, we have grown close to the vil- lagers, and the bonds establish- ed between us have been the more significant because they did not depend on direct com- munication, Most of them spoke no French, and our knowledge of their tongue was limited to a few phrases. No, our friend- ship depended on something much more basic, In the tug of silent friendship, we become aware, perhaps for the first time, that vast cultural gaps and language barriers are not real impediments to human understanding, as long as each accepts the other for what he is. And yet, how far we are from realizing this simple truth! The African knows it. How long will it be before Canadians and American's know it? Early August 10, we leave for the trip to Dakar. A com- plete loss of appetite and naus- ea have been plaguing me for the past three days, and my first stop on arriving 'back in Senegal's capital is the doc- tor's office.

New benefits for members of ifuren Co - operative Medical Second Services were well received at d the medical co-op':, annual V./;. meeting held in Clinton Wed, At the same time as we build the school at Tassinere, we are, with our co-workers, increasing the mutual understanding be- tween ourselves and' our two peoples. Our co-workers are high- school students, but their aware- ness of the world around them would put a good ninny Caned- Ian students their age to shame. We have many discussions with them, both pre-arranged and spontaneous, on a variety of subjects, from sports, to enter- tainment and economics. The topic of greatest interest to them, however, was that of race relations in the United States. There are a variety of reasons for this, but I think the most basic is that the emotional nature of the African's re-action to white domination is essential- ly the same as that of the Amer- ican negro. In both cases, the feeling can be a bitter hatred of the white man in general, a hatred and frustration at the in- justice of being considered in- ferior, when he knows perfectly well he is not. The exact nature and inten- sity of this feeling is difficult for white people to understand, for few white people have been outcasts in a society which preaches the equality of man, have been paid smaller wages because their skin is the wrong color, or have suffered the humility of being considered a member of a race "closer to the apes" than others. Roots are in Africa The negro's struggle for dig- nity and recognition is world- wide, but the roots of this ef- fort are here in Africa. As Marcel, one of the students who is working with us puts it, "We live in a world dominated by the white man and his culture. Most of the great things have been done by white men. We want an opportunity 'to show that we can make a contribu- tion to the world as well, but first we must be independent." Sign's of the new independence are everywhere. Our school, part of the ministry of youth and sports' contribution to na- tional development, is one such sign. The national anthem is played 'several times a day over the radio net-work, and the vil- lage children, even those who cannot yet understand what they are singing, are taught its stir- ring words, which, in English, go something like this: "Stand up, brothers, here is the new Africa, the fibre of my green heart. Shoulder to shoul- der we stand, 0 Senegalese, my more-than-brothers, Let us unite the sea and the springs, let us unite the desert and the for- ests. We hail thee, mother Africa!" On the walls here and there are painted the • revolutionary slogans of two years ago, like "AF,RICANIZE, 1960" and "In- dependence, Cull" But inde- pendence is more than slogans and national anthems, and the Africans realize this. Farm development In order to be really inde- pendent a country must estab- lish a measure of economic sell-support; and because Sene- gal's economy is basically agri- cultural, a farm development program. is very important to her. There are several com- munes already established, op- erating much, like collective farms in Israel, but there are other experiments too, perhaps more baste. About 120 kilometers north- west of Saint-Louis,, on the sliore of the Senegal Myer, and not far from the blazing Sahara desert, there is one Such agri- cultural project, the 15,000-acre Richer 1 I experimental farm. Here, by pumping the waters, of the Senegal into a network of irrigation ditches, the dry semi - desert can be transformed into arable land suitable for growing rice, sugar cane, and even cotton. The simple troth is that all a country like Senegal really needs to become agriculturally priedUctide, and hence more stable economically, is Water. The cost of Irrigation, However, is enormous; so great, in fact, that without foreign aid, pro- jects like Richard-Toll , would be impossible for the Africans to Undertake alone. Yet, if enough water could be piped into tie arid plains of the interior, Sene- gal might be made a green productive country and, this would mean a new life Tor those whose lives depend on the soil.

Guest speaker at the meet- ing, Edward Schofield, Provin- cial secretary, Co operative Medical Services Federation of Ontario, outlined the reason for co-op medtcal service's deleting in-hospital nursing care from benefits covered by their con- tracts. This service has been duplicating services already covered by the Ontario Hospi- tal Insurance plan. 'Mr. Schofield explained that "Over $7,500 has bsen paid out by Huron Co-op Medical Serv- ices during the past year for special duty nursing care in hospitals, Such payments were unnecessary as all nursing care that a patient may require from a medical standpoint, is yours by right; you are already pay- ing for it in your present OHSC premiums, This also includes any unusual nursing needs." Members also approved pay- ment of claims on the basis of the new 1962 schedule of fees of the Ontario Medical Associa- tion. Payment according to this revised schedule represents an additional contract benefit for all 'members and their depend- ents, ' Also approved was •the right of the co-op to recover damages from a third person should the co-op make payment to a 'mem- ber 'having the right to recover damages from such third per- son, The policy was also set for the co-op to urge all members to take "total service" cover- age rather than partial medical coverage. Under the new plan, protec- tion will be offered to members as a "package deal" covering medical expenses with guaran- teed benefits of up to $5,000 in any one year (with only $100 deductible) plus complete cov- erage under a surgical benefits plan and 100 percent payment for in-hospital medical care (limit of 60 visits per year) at a cost of $30.26 per year for a single person and $60.40 per year on a family basis. Highlight of the president's report, given by 'M. Fordyce Clark, RR 5, Goderich, was the payment in 1961 of 1,106 mem- bers' claims totalling $54,236, an increase of $14,615 over the previous year. Roy Strong, Gorrie; Gordon Kirkland (vice-president), RR 3 Lucknow; Bert Irwin, RR 2 Seaforth; and Bertram Klapp, Zurich, were re-elected to the board for a further three-year term. Other directors are Mrs. 0. G. Anderson, RR 5 Wing- ham; Mrs, Lloyd Taylor, Exe- ter; Hugh B. Smith, RR 2 Listowel; Lorne Rodges, RR 1 Goderich; Russell T.

The 1962 population of Huron County is 209 more than it was in 1961, according to ,the fig- ures of County Assessor Alex Alexander. The 1962 figure is 48,891 in contrast to the 1961 figure of 48,682, This increase stands in coin- parison to an increase of 673 in 1961 over the 1960 population. Thus, over a two-year period, the population of Huron has in- creased by 882 people. The figures show that the pop- ulation has increased in the fol• lowing municipalities over the 1961 figures: townships of Ash- field, Goclovich, 1tay, Mel' illop, Tuekerstnith, Turnhorry, East and West Wawanosh. Increases came also in the following towns and villages — Clinton, Exeter, Wingliam, Brits- sels and Hensel l]torris Township remained ex- actly the same. Decreases were noted in the following townships in 1D62 front that hh law Colborne, Grey, Howick-, Willett, Stanley, Ste- ui Canada's production of sur- plus milk is becoming so heavy that drastic and 'positive action may have to he taken to re- duce it, Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton said this week. Seventy per cent of the na- tional milk output comes from Ontario and Quebec whose milk and cream shippers had asked for a year in which to imple- ment a voluntary program ex- pected to bring about better balance 'between production and consumption. With half the market year al- ready gone, Mr. Hamilton saw nothing to indicate that such a program would 'be ready before May. Meanwhile, milk and but- ter production continued to in- crease and the year-end butter surplus stocks would likely be heavier than last year's. The minister said no govern- ment wanted to compel produc- ers to reduce production but the federal government may quite properly tell producers that the time has come when they must agree to voluntarily restrict production or accept, re- duced price supports. Furthermore, since a moder- ate reduction in price supports would not likely reduce output significantly, a drastic reduc- tion might be necessary. The minister said, in part: "Canada's dairy industry today is at 'the crossroads. The pres- ent situation, bad as it is, will shortly become absolutely cha- otic and ruinous to all con- cerned unless we—the dairy in- dustry and government — em- bark on a new course." The government early last spring was all set to adopt a program aimed at reducing pro- duction and increasing con- sumption. The plan called for buying and reselling butter at 52 cents a pound and giving cream and manufacturing pro- ducers the difference between the 52 cents and the present 6:t cent butter support price in the form of a cash payment. No such payments were to be made to the fluid milk Producers. This plan would have enabled consumers to buy butter 12 cents a pound cheaper; it also meant that butter made from surplus fluid milk would bring 152 cents instead of the present 64 cents a pound when sold to the government—thus providing a significant deterrent to pro- duction_ of surplus fluid milk. Representatives of milk and cream shippers of Ontario and Quebec claimed the-t this would completely eliminate all hope of developing integrated pro- vincial programs of the type then being considered in On- tario. Plan was postponed "They asked us to postpone the plan for a year in order to give them time to implement their own provincial programs , We agreed, after strongly advising the representatives of the two provinces that it would have to he re-considered at the end of the year of grace if they failed to put, their houses in order. "We then adopted a 1962-63 federal program which reduced the price of butter to the con- sumer by 12 cents a pound while keeping the producers' support price at 64 cents. "Thus our present program contains a really worthwhile consumer incentive but is com- pletely lacking in anything which might tend to discourage production," More outlets There are a number of meth- ods of reducing the milk sur- plus, Mr. Hamilton said. "For example, I think we should somehow manage to get a little more of our milk made into cheese. Recent events in- dicate that there is a possibility of disposing of additional Cana- dian cheddar in the United Kingdom mark-et." Another possible outlet is the new World Food Program. Part of Canada's five million dollar pledge to the Program is to take the form of food commodi. ties and these are almost cer- tain to include seine skim milk powder and possibly other non- perishable dairy products. The government is' working on a program to supply food to the West Indies and dairy products — Please turn to page 13 for the crop year 1962.63 are adequate and. provide for in- creased livestock feeding and for a build-up of farm stocks. Prices are lower this fall than. last and are expected to remain so, Barley supplies during the 1962-63 crop yeati will be about the same as last year. Exports are expected to be less leaving more for domestic use. In East- ern Canada, larger cep and mixed grain crops are in pros- pect. HOGS — Hog inarketings this fall are expected to be eight per cent lower than a year earlier. The eastern total is ex- pected to be up six per cent and the western down 23 per cent. Prices are expected to average higher than last fall. CATTLE — — Most factors indicate steady to stronger fed cattle prices this fall. The low- er level of marketings of choice and good cattle which has pre- vailed is expected to continue until early 1963. The movement of feeder cattle this 'fall will not equal the heavy volume of a year ago because of the strong- er local demand in the Prairies. Exports to -the U.S. are ex- pected to be down. Cow mar- ketings will step up seasonally this fall, the bulk of the in- crease being canners and cut- ters. DAIRY PRODUCTS — To- tal milk production in 1962 is likely to be slightly greater than last year at approximately 19.4 billion pounds. The fluid milk and cream market will take about six billion monde three per cent more than in 1961. Usage for cheese and con- centrated milk, however, will decline somewhat.. Butter pro- duction will total about 362 mil- lion pounds in 1962, three per cent more than in 1961. Butter consumption too, appears to have increased for the first time in four years and domestic disappearance will likely ap- proximate 325 million pounds, 13 per cent more than in 1961. Stocks of butter and butter oil have continued to grow, but at only half the rate of 1961. County population increased by 209 Huron county crop report By 0, H.
