The owner arrived on the scene in time to see two Beagles run off through the fields. He's shown on the left with livestock valuator Clayton Smith looking over the dead birds. The door on the chicken shelter had been pulled off by the dogs as they hauled birds out through the slats. T-A photo Miles home from Europe after lengthy 12-week trip OPEN DAY & NIGHT By DAVE INGLIS Extension Assistant Huron County Hay crop in Huron is nearing completion with approximately 80% of the crop in. Some fall wheat has been swathed and is being combined. The majority of the wheat crop harvest will be started within the next week. Of the wheat harvested to date, yields seem to be down slightly. Yields in several cases have been reported at 40 to 45 bushel per acre. Some years it runs as high as 80 bushel to the acre for good stands. The corn and white bean crops in the county are progressing quite favorably. Some areas are still set back due to the large amounts of moisture. Spring grains are turning very rapidly and in the southern part of the county may be ready to cut by next week. Fields of spring grain look as though they will be quite good. Livestock in the county are doing well as a result of the good supply of pasture which should last the summer. COOK BROS. Milling Co. Limited 262-2605 from his trip, mainly concerned with agriculture. "There are few castles," he mused, commenting on his picture collection. He attended several fairs and flower shows and was amazed at the number of people in attend- ance. Over 5,000 were in attend- ance at one rose show and he said at the fairs all the spectators were interested in the livestock. There were no sideshows or mid- ways. The group attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace, when the Queen and Prince Philip mingled with the visiting juniors. The Ontario group rented a limousine to drive to the event. "No one could buy the op- portunities we had to see the things we did and meet the peo- ple we did," he concluded. Fire is the forest prime evil. "The problems people face are about the same as here," he explained. He said there were complaints about farm prices, taxes, income taxes, and concern about farm safety and the farmers over 60 leaving the farms. One thing he did find different was the fact people in other coun- tries take more pride in beauti- fying their properties. He said flowers grow in profusion and it appears to be a custom that our ancestors forgot to bring with them. On the boat returning home, half the passengers were immi- grants. He said the adults realiz- ed they may not have any bright- er future here, but they were hoping their children would. Miles has over 100 slides Huron Agricultural Represen- tative Doug Miles returned home Monday after a 12-week trip to the British Isles and several European countries. He was escort for a group of Ontario Junior Farmers on an exchange visit and was accom- panied by his wife. The group visited nine coun- tries on the trip and Miles re- ported he didn't realize how tired he was until he arrived home. He was particularly interest- ed in the agricultural education being conducted abroad, in view of his interest in farm manage- ment. He visited agricultural schools in Scotland, Holland and Ireland and spent some time with the British Agricultural Training Board. This group is primarily con- cerned with the retraining of farm workers and he said they have "quite a program". It is similar to the program being followed by industry. He said that while the physical aspects of agriculture are dif- ferent in the various lands, he found people to be the same as here in Ontario. Only 30% of Ontario's bean grower turned out to the polls last week to decide whether beans should be marketed through an agency type plan with a pooling of all receipte. Those who did turn out voted overwhelmingly for the plan. Some 704% were in favor. A majority of only two-thirds was required. Robert P. Allan, Brucefield, chairman of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board re- ported only 1,041 growers out of approximately 3,000 cast bal- lots. A total of 385 of those voters were from Huron, with 300 voting in favor of the plan and the other 85 opposed. The board met in Toronto, Tuesday, with the Ontario Farm Producers Marketing Board in an attempt to have the plan im- plemented for this year. However, all the Farm Pro- ducts Marketing Board would do was pass a motion recommend- ing to the minister of agric- ulture that the agency plan be implemented in view of the vote results. Allan said the FPMB didn't recommend any time in which to get the plan working. lie said it would possibly take several meetings to get the details straightened out, and the bean board plan a meeting this week with dealers to discuss details. Allan opined that the lack of any major controversy over the vote was probably responsible for the poor turnout at the polls. He explained there was no or- ganized opposition and it has been indicated that the vote prob- ably indicates the feeling of all growers. Many farmers in Huron didn't go to the polls because they had to take advantage of dry weather to complete the delayed hay har- vest. Others were already harvesting wheat. Major features of the pro- posed plan are: I. Granting of agency powers to the bean board which will provide that: (a) all beans be marketed by or through the bean board; /I DRY-0-MATION SYSTEM A high-wire circus act isn't the only place balance is important.

Mr. & Mrs. Henry Beghin of Kapuskasing spent several days last week with Mrs. Dan Jarvis. Those were not the characteristics that prompted us to put Royden on our staff. We wanted a man that could work all day in the heat, and then with perspiration pouring from his brow, turn to a customer and offer a genuine smile. In fact all our staff has this same ability. We knew that this was some- thing that our customers wanted and is so often lacking in todays modern approach to business. We still have the modern approach, but we guarantee FRIENDLY SERVICE AT CFS.
