following the closing of near-by
Centralia air base.
Sybren De Boer of Mitchell,
who has been appointed manager,
said that interest in the new
product is so great that the
machinery commenced produc-
tion before the building was com-
pleted.
"We are also planning to pro-
duce concrete drainage tile in
larger diameters but first will
have to build up a stock of plastic
tile and components," he added.
The Big 0 Tile is an ecpnom-
ical, impervious, polyethylene
tile which is corrugated and per-
forated to provide 11/4 square
inches of water inlet area per

THE MEN WHO KNOW TIRES BEST
A "Hensall resident has fond
an effentiVe, Plet119,4 of eliniinating, a pesky insect that, has been ir.
vadirig the area in recent Weel(S.
On advice of the University of
Otielph, Harry Klungel has mixed
up a WIPP of bran, e0cliurck
lde and cod liver oil that kills the
European arwigs; found in the,
last month or so in Huron and
other counties to the north,
The HeriSAll resident said he
mixes la pounds of hran, one
pound of sodium fluoride and a
quart of cod liver oil to make the
necessary bait.
He suggests putting the bait
along foundations of buildings and
this should be done during the
month of July when the insects
are small.
The department of agriculture
lists the earwig as more of a mils,

Bean industry
is steadying
Stability seems to be return-
ing to the white bean industry in
Ontario. Latest forecasts indic-
ate the 1968 crop will be about
100,000 acres, the same as 1966
and up from the 85,000 acres of
last year,
Agency marketing has become
a reality and the federal govern-
ment has agreed to support an
initial payment to producers and
a portion of the handling charge
to dealers. This has been follow-
ed by final approval for agency
powers from the Ontario Farm
Products Marketing Board.
The system, beginning with
this year's crop will see the
board controlling the entire crop
and will market beans through
the dealers. The difference be-
tween the initial payment and the
market price will be pooled and
returned to the grower when the
crop is sold.
Growers will receive an initial
payment of $5.50 per 100 pounds,
less six cents for the licence fee
when they sell their crop. Deal-
ers must send a daily report to
the marketing board on how many
pounds of No. 1 beans they receive
and what has been paid out. A
record will be kept of each pro-
ducer's deliveries, based on the
dealers' reports.

Youth caravan
to visit Ontario
A friendly invasion of Ontario
will soon be underway.
On Sunday, July 21, 26 4-H
Club members from Arkansas,
eo r g i a, Virginia, Oklahoma,
Texas, and Maryland will cross
the border at Niagara Falls to
begin a two-week stay in On-
tario.
The occasion is the 1968 4-H
Teen Caravan to Canada. The
visitors, all between 17 and 19,
will spend a day touring Tor-
onto, and the next morning at
the University of Guelph. From
Guelph, the young people go to
host families, in the counties of
Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Wel-
lington. They will join in the
living and working routines of
the host families, and attend
local 9-H activities.
The 4-H Teen Caravan to Can-
ada was inaugurated in 1967 for
Centennial Year, and the Ameri-
can young people visited Expo
before going on to host families
in Eastern Ontario.
The Teen Caravan program of
4-H Clubs in the United States
has been in existence for some
years and includes visits to many
countries in Europe and South
America.
Recent weather conditions have
been ideal for maximum growth
of corn.
Generally the white bean crop
appears normal, however, a few
cases of root rot damage and
injury from slugs has been re-
ported.
Barley and wheat are begin-
ning to show indications of ripen-
ing. Some wheat in South Huron
will be cut in a few days.
pastures are beginning to de-
cline slightly as the season pro-
gresses.
