turned too dry
Fire losses in district
show decrease in '66 The weatherman just can't hit
the “happy m ediu m" Huron
farmers would like.
Extreme cold and wet weather
delayed spring seeding for most,
and now that they have it fairly
well completed, dry weather is
slowing down growth,
This dryness has contributed
to slow bean planting. as a large
percentage of bean seedbeds are
to dry to promote germination.
The Weekly crop report from
the agricultural office indicates
herbicide application is nearing
completion on most of the field
crops.

1966 of 10 fires per year.

levelled a large barn, the remains of which are shown above, Lost in the blaze were over 100 pigs, hay

Exeter, and was set ablaze while the Exeter fire brigade stood by during their regular practice night.
The inclusion of forage crops
under the insurance plan is the
third program to be developed by
the Insurance Commission since
it was established last Sep-
tember.
"It is a realistic approach in
endeavouring to offer some pro-
tection in the event of severe
forage crop losses that have been
suffered by Ontario farmers in
recent years," said K. E. Lantz,
Chairman of the Crop Insurance
Commission.
"It provides the comprehen-
sive protection afforded by our
present insurance contracts
which include the hazards of
drought, hail, wind, frost, flood,
plant disease, insect infestation,
and excessive rainfall."

A further widening of Ontario's
Crop Insurance program was an-
nounced by Hon. Wm. A. Stewart,
Minister of Agriculture and Food,
recently when he announced that
a test program for insurance on
forage crops is being undertaken
by the Crop Insurance Commis-
sion.
Insurance is al"eady available
on winter wheat and spring
grains. This is the first forage
crop insurance plan available in
North America.
The extension of the insurance
program is being tested in two
areas of the Province, In Western
Ontario the Counties of Bruce,
Grey and Huron will have the
insurance available, and in East-
ern Ontario the Counties of
Prince Edward, Renfrew, and
Lennox and Addington.

leafs." That's the comment of many large,
successful growers of soybean and fieldbean
crops. Trefla n stops weeds before they start to
grow by killing the weed seed as it germinates.
The result, you get greater yielding crops be-
cause there's more nutrients, moisture and
light for your crops; less time-consuming
harvesting stoppages caused by weeds; and
more efficient use of fertilizer. For dependable
weed control that helps you make more profit —
