Helen Good, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rus- sell Good, RR 1 LondeSboro, was crowned Huron County Dairy Princess at Clinton's 114th an- nual Spring Fair, held here Sat- urday. Miss Good, whose ability to milk a cow and prepare and clean milking equipment gave her the edge over five other contestants, will now compete for the pro- vincial title at the Canadian Nat- ional Exhibition, Toronto, in Aug- ust. Runners-up were Ann de Groot, RR 3, Blyth, and Bonnie Stewart, RR 5, Seaforth. There were no contestents from South Huron. From an exhibition viewpoint, the fair was an outstanding suc- cess, but rain which fell almost constantly throughout the after- noon-evening program held at- tendance to about 3,000, about half the attendance of peak years. Jack Van Egmond of RR 1, Clinton, president of the Huron Central Agricultural Societ y, noted there were more than 200 livestock exhibitors, 60 more than last year. the risk of the feed being weath- ered excessively, Ease of hand- ling through mechanization, and higher quality feed are possible with silage. Moisture levels for silage are from 55 to 65 percent, giving the pperatcor some latitude in his harvest operation. But, Dr. Mac- Leod warns, silage •which is too wet or too dry makes a less nutritious feed, and is costly in terms of spoilage rates, When using horizontal silos, packing, and the fineness of cut are important. Both fineness of cut and the amount of packing depend directly on the moisture of the forage, Very fine cutting and heavy packing may be neces- sary if the forage is very dry (below 55 percent). As pastures develop quickly, and tend to get ahead of the cows, harvest the extra forage as hay or silage, says Dr. MacLeod. It could be handy later on in the summer, if the weather turns hot and dry, and of course, a little extra feed for next winter will be useful, FACE FLY PROBLEM Face flies will soon become a nuisance to beef and dairy cattle, according to entomologists at the University of Guelph. These con- spicuous flies congregate around the eyes and muzzle of cattle, feeding on the moisture. If the numbers of these face flies are large enough, they may prevent cattle from pasturing in the day- time. Dairy cows can be sprayed once a day after milking with dichlorvos (DDVP) or Ciodrin, until the numbers are reduced. There are back rubbers available for beef cattle. Large infesta- tions of face flies could cause a loss of production, if they keep cattle from grazing. By MRS. FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA Rev. M. James of Dashwood, guest speaker at the anniver- sary service in the United Church on Sunday morning, delivered a challenging message to a large congregation. "Is the Church for real?" asked the speaker. "What are we saying about God? What are we saying for God? Is there any hope to-day for the future of the church?" Rev. James believes that the church is for real, that it can offer hope and that the message of the church is the same. Miss Sharon Lightfoot was the organist for the service. Ushers were Bill Huxtable and Donald Squire.

However, the presence of a few of these insects will not cause appreciable dam- age to corn and spring grains. Growers are urged to consult Extension Specialists with the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture and Food, or the Provincial Entomologist, 'Ontario Agrichl- tural College, Guelph, before tak- ing measures that may be costly and ineffective. There is little that can be done once the crop has been planted, except treating each plant individually with a recom- mended chemical. If damage is severe, the crop may have to be replanted with treated seed. Since wireworms can survive in the soil for three to five years, continue to plant treated seed in soils where wireworms are present.

S a many of the disease and weed problems have been solved. Fur- ther breeding is being done to maim barley a more important crop in Ontario, Cntario-grown barley is used mainly as livestock feed, since almost none is exported from the province. Many producers have found that barley may be used in high proportions in cat- tle and pig rations, With beef cattle, rations containing only barley have been successfully used, with gains comparable to those obtained from other grains, In high protein rations, how- ever, barley must be supple- mented with a protein source, such as soybeans. This is the case in dairy production rations. High barley rations also have been successfully used for feed- ing market hogs. Considerable research is be- ing conducted to make it pos- siblo for more extensive pre, duction PflArIey even on a PPM, tinuous cropping basis, A num- ber of fariTierS in Ontario have grown barley for three years or more in succession, without seri- ous losses due to disease. Soil-boroe diseases are the Main PrehlemS facing priacieeers but researchers are confident that new varieties Will be pro- duced which will not be affected by these diseases, or that sys- temic chemicals may be found that will give resistance.
