A lot of time and effort goes
into preparing any entry for a
fall fair and this is particularly
true in the. Poultry and bird
business..
Oneof the newest exhibitors
at the Exeter Fall Fair, Jack
Snell of town spends most of his
spare time in looking after his
flock of chickens, ducks, doves,
pigeons, quail and. rabbits,
The local bird fancier who
only started his hobby less than
three years ago will be making
his second appearance at the
Exeter Fair,
Last year in their first
showing, Snell entries won seven
firsts, a second and two thirds in
the poultry division and three
red ribbons in rabbit divisions,
This year, the Snell children,
Brenda and Bill will be entering
some of their, own pets in the
school Portion of the fair,
A feature of their exhibit will
be a Giant Checkered rabbit
named. Susie, with eight
youngsters, only a couple of
weeks old,
In addition they will be
taking doves, pigeons and a
couple of white mice if they can
find containers that are
escape-proof.
year to check the effects of
various trace elements such as
copper, zinc, manganese, boron
and magnesium when sprayed on
the turnips at three different
times during the growing season.
Vanneste said the
co-operation of two or three
growers in this district would be
necessary to carry out the
proposed experiments on small
plots.
Hopefully, these experiments
would help determine whether
the frequency of water core is
due only to rainfall or whether
there is a boron tie-up or other
trace elements.
Snell will be showing six
varieties of bantam chickens
the local fair, They are White,
Black, Partridge and Buff
Cochin, Speckled Hamburg and
Selkey.
He is busily engaged this
week building pens to house his
birds for the day at the fair. He
will be taking five pens, each
with three divisions,
Apple board
is rejected mow
The Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Board announced in
Toronto today that they will not
recommend to the Minister of
Agriculture and Food, the
introduction of the Apple
Commission on which apple
producers recently expressed
their opinion.
Since there was not a clear
two-thirds majority of those
balloting in favor of the
commission, and apparently less
than half of the apple producers
of Ontario voted, there does not
appear to be sufficient producer
support for the commission at
the present time.
However, the Ontario Farm
Products Marketing Board states
that apple producers in the
province should clearly
understand that the present
apple plan remains in effect, and
is in no way affected by this
decision not to introduce an
apple commission.

Fair and came away with seven red ribbons. He will be back this year with a larger entry. —T-A photo

The 1968 rutabaga crop in
this district is being threatened
seriously by the frequent
appearance of water core.
Frank Vanneste of
Clandeboye told the T-A this
week about 150 acres of turnips
have already been abandoned in
the Lucan and Exeter areas in
the past couple of weeks.
Vanneste, who is area
director of the Turnip Section
of the Ontario Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Association
has been seeking assistance from
Ontario Agricultural College
officials in Guelph in an attempt
to head off the dread disease.
The early crops of turnips
seem to be the hardest hit and
Vanneste said he hoped steps
could be taken to protect the
later sown turnips. An
immediate treatment of boron
to the leaves would be a big help
in checking water core.
Leaf tests of several district
plots were taken in late August
by Guelph officials. General
consensus of opinion is that the
water core problem this year is
related to the high rainfall in
1967 and again this year.
Professor Thomas Lane of the
Department of Soils Science at.
Guelph plans to set up a series of
experiments in this area next
