T=A photo 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.
