Despite some damage to farm
crops in the itiernediate Exeter
area from the flood of July 24,
the overall prospects for the
district look good.
Bob Cook of Cook Bros.
Milling in Hensall told the T-A
Wednesday morning that the
white bean crop has never
looked better.
"It has been a little drier in
the last couple of weeks than we
would have like but it still looks
like an above average yield and
harvesting should start next
week on some of the earliest
fields," added Cook.
In the completed grain
harvest, Cook said the grade was
acceptable on most grains as far
as moisture was concerned and
there was a little bit of sprouting
on wheat in the Clinton area.
At the Canadian Canners
plant in Exeter, a double shift of
workers started Tuesday to
accommodate the expected
heavy corn pack.
Local manager Jack Urquhart
said the corn pack started
Saturday and the quality is good
with an above average yield to
date. Only a few fields were
damaged by the hail and some
kernel deformity is .evident...
Urquhart said the corn is
"much better than it looked
three weeks ago. The hot
weather has certainly been
boon to the corn crop and we
should be continuing the pack
until the end of September.'
Cereal grain harvest la
practically completed in South
Huron with about 10%
remaining in the north.
While some forage aftermath
has been taken for hay or
pasture, it would appear that a:
substantial acreage will not be
utilized.
As a result of hot, dry
weather white beans are ripening
quickly although observations
would indicate that pods and
seeds per plant are below average
in some fields.
Rain is needed for maximum
growth of corn and pasture.
Corn requires continued warm,
sunny weather to bring it to
maturity before frost.

Everyone should
practice safety
Many of our fables and folk
stories contain a great deal of
truth. This is so of the story of
Fred Somebody, Tom
Everybody, Pete Anybody, and
Joe Nobody. They all worked on
the same farm.
NOBODY worked safely.
ANYBODY — in fact, practically
EVERBODY — wanted to work
safely, but each was afraid
SOMEBODY would tease him.
NOBODY was a good worker.
NOBODY obeyed the safety
rules. NOBODY had the right
attitude about accident
prevention.
So they decided to hold a
safety meeting. EVERYBODY
thought ANYBODY would do it
and if not, SOMEBODY would.
Finally NOBODY held it.
An inexperienced young man
was hired and immediately
EVERYBODY thought
SOMEBODY should make sure
the new man was trained.
SOMEBODY said ANYBODY
could do it, but EVERYBODY
agreed SOMEBODY should
make the effort. But who did it?
That's right — NOBODY..
So when it comes to safety —
don't leave it to the other guy.
Be a SOMEBODY.
Wheat sprout
in some areas
Recent wet weather has
caused winter wheat to
germinate while still in the head.
"This is particularly a
problem in Essex and Kent
eounties," says Dr. L. V.
Edgington, Department of
Botany, University of Guelph.
Dr. Edgington points out that
growers who consider using this
wheat for fall seeding must be
careful to avoid injuring the seed
by seed treatment. "Any wheat
with a high moisture content,
and especially with germination
already initiated, will be very
sensitive to seed treatment with
organic mercury compounds."
These mercury compounds,
used in the control of
disease-causing fungi that may
be present on the seed and for
protection of the seed during
germination, are toxic to young
sprouts.
Seed from winter wheat that
has started to germinate and is
capable of fall seeding, should be
treated with a non-mercurial
seed formulation, says Dr.
Edgington. The non-mercurial
chemicals are combined with the
seed in grain drills and the
mixture is applied to the soil
during planting.
Professor G. E. Jones,
Department of Crop Science,
points out that such seed can
still be used for fall seeding,
although germination strength
has gone down,
He explains, "If the skin over
the germ is unbroken, 94%
germination can occur after fall
planting. If the skin over the
germ is broken, 76% germination
can occur. However, if the
sprouts are 1/4 inch long, only
30% germination will occur."
Information on the use of
non-mercurial seed treatment for
wet winter wheat may be
obtained from any Agricultural
Representative's office.
Publication 252, 1969
Chemicals for Seed Treatment of
Small Grains, is available from
the Information Branch, Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, Parliament Buildings,
Toronto.
CUT OFF OLD CANES
As soon as red raspberries
have finished bearing, cut out
old fruiting canes, advise
horticulturists with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food. Red raspberry canes are
biennial; they grow one year,
fruit the following year, then
die.
Old canes should be cut off at
ground level. The removal of old
canes soon after bearing helps
prevent the spread of disease to
new growth. The trimmings
should be burned if disease was
evident.
Never take children
swimming on a beach you are
unfamiliar with. Strong currents
or undertows, a sudden drop in
water level, are all hazards to
watch for in strange waters.
