Club members
enjoy judging
The monthly meeting of the
Exeter Mixed Calf Club was held
June 19 at 8:30 pm at the farm
of Lorne Passmore,
The meeting was opened with
the 4-H Pledge, followed by the
minutes and business.
The dairy members judged,
and gave reasons on a class of
Holstein cows in milk.
The beef members judged and
gave reasons on a class of Here-
ford yearlings. The group then
answered two quizzes.
Lunch was served. Mr. and
Mrs. Passmore were thanked
by Sheila Hern and the meeting
was adjourned.
Repeated rains—and some
heavy ones at that—have placed
some area bean growers in a
precarious situation.
In the area south of Exeter
and stretching both east and west,
many bean fields have been wash-
ed out and will have to be re-
planted. Some have not even been
planted as yet.
Howard Scane, of W, G. Thomp-
son and Sons Ltd., Hensall, in-
dicated this week the farmers
would have to get ideal weather
conditions to enable them to get
their seed in by the end of this
week or the first of the coming
week.
He said that if this was done, it
was quite possible for the farm-
ers to overcome the present
problem.
However, he indicated another
rain could be disastrous for some
farmers, who are already three
weeks behind schedule.
Mr. Scane wouldn't make an
estimate of the amount of seed
yet to be planted in the area
south of Exeter, explaining that
while farmers had their seed
purchased, he didn't know how
much was actually in the ground,
In the area north of Exeter,
few problems have been en-
countered as the area has had
less rain than in the southern
area.
The weekly crop report sub-
mitted by Don Pullen, Associate
Agricultural Representative, also
noted the damage to beans, corn
and peas in the southern part of
the county, but said that gener-
ally, most field crops on well
drained soils are growing well.
However, he did note that yel-
lowing of cereal grains in some
areas has resulted from an ex-
cess of wet soil conditions.
Carf Cann of Cann's Mill Ltd.,
Exeter, verified this, but in-
dicated the damage was not
severe as yet.
He said he was still optimistic
there would be a good crop, add-
ing that the corn was looking
extremely good.
As often happens during wet
