Jack Urquhart, manager of the Exeter plant of Canadian Canners said although a few acres of peas in the immediate area were wiped out most of the local crop had been harvested.. The local, manager added that hail damage at Kirkton was also fairly extensive. If there is any hail damage to the pod, the peas are liable to sour. Some loss was also felt in canning corn but most acreage is expected to recuperate. Canning factory growers are unique in that they carry their own hail insurance on peas and frost insurance on corn. Each farmer has a deduction for insurance and this is turned over to a growers committee that administers the fund. Jules de Brabandere, RR 1 Kiricton is chairman of this year's growers insurance committee. Very few general farmers hit by the rain and hail were covered by crop insurance which is available from the Ontario government. About a dozen farmers in Stephen and Usborne have filed claims with the Ontario Crop Farmers in a fairly ,concentrated area were hard hit by the heavy rains and hail stones during Thursday's violent Storm. The area affected is located about three miles east into Usborne Township and also about the same distance westerly into Stephen Township. The north-south territory is rather small running from just north of Exeter to the Crediton road. One estimate of $100,000 farm loss has been made but a more conclusive amount cannot be determined until crops are harvested in, the fall. Many fields of white beans have been completely wiped out with others suffering severe damage that will cut returns considerably. Several fields of oats and barley were thoroughly threshed with heads and chaff appearing at the edges where the water had washed them. Corn was riddled quite badly, but the later plantings were already showing some signs of recovery Tuesday. Carf Cann said one field that already had advanced to the tassel stage could probably be used only for ensilage, Several large fields in Usborne were badly damaged with leaves insurance Corninission, Two claims on fields of beans that were considered a total loss were procmed Monday afternoon by adjuster Lloyd Lovell and the insurance checks were in the hands of the growers by late Tuesday afternoon. Wally Bain of the Stratford office of the Insurance Commission handled the transactions. In cases of lesser damages, claims will not be finalized until later when loss in yields can be determined. Wheat was one crop that suffered very little damage. Huron's Ag Rep Don Pullen said he was surprised that the wheat which in most cases was about ready to be harvested stood up so well. Pullen added that some lodging from driving rain occurred east of Seaforth and in the Lucknow district. Farmers in Usborne and Stephen townships will have the opportunity to obtain crop damage forms from their township offices and will be sharing in proceeds from the Exeter and district disaster fund. These forms are to be completed and returned to the respective township offices by August 9, it /1-14 Sy MRS. J. H.

Sugar beets will be supported, through deficiency payments, at a national average level of $15,98 per standard ton (250 pounds of sugar), delivered to the processing plant. Ttie support program insulates Canadian growers against serious drops in world sugar prices, Sugar beets are being grown in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. THIS SUMMER BE WATER WISE! The agricultural community needs more weather information than is available from general weather forecasts. To meet this need a program has been developed in southwestern Ontario by the Ontario Department of Ag oeulture and Food, in con unction with the Meteorological Branch of the Canada Department of Transport. The program provides special farm weather bulletins, with a description of the current weather pattern for each day and a forecast of details of the next day's weather, as well as the outlook for one or More days following, depending on the predictability of weather conditions. Some bulletins will also contain information and advice on farm operations, crop stages, and so on, and will comment on important upcoming weather changes, such as a sudden spell of frost or rain. Meteorologists of the Canadian Weather Service, operating out of the Weather Office in Toronto and working with agriculturalists of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, send these bulletins out to the radio stations twice daily at 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. during the growing season (April 15 to October 15). Farmers should check with their local stations to find out the times these bulletins will be broadcast. The program covers two specific areas: Area one covers the counties of Essex, Rent, Lailibton, Middlesex, Elgin, Oxford, Norfolk, Brent and Wentworth; Area two covers the counties of Perth, Waterloo, Halton, Peel, York, Sitncoe, OFFICIALS TAKING A LOOK AT THE CROP DAMAGE — Friday afternoon a meeting of provincial and municipal officialswas held in Exeter to check into the amounfof damage suffered by Thursday's flood and stOrin, Above, Huron County Warden James Hayter, Provincial Treasurer, the Hon.
