"Every- thing promising is listed in their recommendations," he noted. Huron Agricultural Represen- tative Doug Miles said farmers often see only what they want to, and should therefore depend on the experts. "Never jump into something for which we see the results of only one year's testing," he urg- ed. He also told farmers that the annual bean tests in Huron always show that fertilizers and soil tests pay, A considerable amount of mil- dew is reported in Huron this year, he said, 'and several men pick mildewed plants from the field to show what it looked like, “Heaven help us if we get a foggy morning and a hot day," he said, adding that such a con-. dition could drop crop yields by 10 percent. After the meeting, the farmers enjoyed a feed of beans, Youth assist in UC event Take advantage of good weather By D. G. INGLIS Extension Assistant for Huron County The farmers in Huron County have been taking advantage of the good weather, and have the har- vest of spring grains well under way. In the county as a whole, 65% of the spring grain harvest is completed. Yields are down somewhat in the southern part of the county, but are average in the north. Some white beans have been pulled and will be ready to har- vest within the next few days. The majority of the white beans in the county have turned color and are not too far off maturity. There are some cases where the beans were planted late and thus, the harvest here will be much later. Ground is being prepared for fall wheat which will be planted within the next few days. The corn crop is maturing very favourably and will produce a high yield if it escapes an early frost. Baptize infant at Dashwood department, of agriculture. Treflan and Eptam had better control than Patoran, while last year the latter had proven best. It was indicated that at first it appeared that Patoran wouldn't have any control at all in the test plots. ''None of the chemicals we have will do 100 percent," one expert explained, as they need some as- sistance. He indicated some experiments were taking place regarding the By MRS.

Milling Company Limited HENSALL Phone 262-2605 Although the floor price has been set for the 1967 bean crop, Huron farmers attending the an- nual sunrise bean meeting at the Kippen area farm of Jack Peck, Thursday, were reminded the price they actually receive will depend greatly upon the weather. "The price of beans will cer- tainly depend on when the first frost comes," stated Bob Allan, Brucefield, chairman of the On- tario Bean Growers Marketing Board. He said a light crop was ex- pected this year in both Canada and the United States due to poor growing conditions, andthe over- seas buyers are waiting to see what the yield will be before starting to buy. Allan reported the U.S. crop was expected to drop from eight million bags to five million this year, while Canada's crop could be down about 400,000 bags to a total of one million. "It certainly looks like it will be a strong market," he added. An early frost would reduce yields considerably, as some beans in Huron and other parts of Ontario are just starting to come out in blossom. Allan urged farmers to make sure they get the best price for their crop, noting that the new agency plan under which all prices will be pooled does not come into effect until next year. One of the largest crowds in some years attended the sunrise meeting and viewed the various experimental plots at the Peck farm as well as hearing from several scientists and other ex- perts regarding chemicals, dis- eases, etc. They were told that studies are now underway to produce a variety of beans that will be resistant to bronzing, a costly discoloration that Dr. G. M. Weaver of Harrow said often caused as much as a 10 percent crop loss. He said one farmer reported a loss of 60 percent of his crop through bronzing. Bronzing is caused by air pol- lution and often results in pre- mature maturing of the plants so affected. The contributing factors were listed as: humid, sultry weather; industrial, automotive and nat- ural hydrocarbons; maturity and senescence of the bean plant; soil moisture (flooding and drought stress); and the various varieties. He distributed a chart rating the tolerance of various varities and it indicated two new varieties being tested were the most re- sistant. However, reports in- dicate the new seed won't be commercially available for four or five years. reunion Rader clan holds Girl given bingo prize By MRS.
