Various strains of barley have different degrees of resistance to mildew, smut, lodging etc. 2. Early planting of barley Earlier planting should result in shorter plants which in turn increases lodging resistance. Plants develop heads earlier so they have more time to fill out. 3. Fertility applications Adequate fertilization is essential for maximum yields. CO-OP' Big Bonus 15-12-8 Fertilizer was developed especially for Barley. 4. Weed control Early planting of Barley requires complete weed control. For specific recommendations check with your Co-operative or refer to "Publication 75—Guide to Chemical Weed Control," published by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. 5.

'4-H Clubs are open to girls and boys who have reached their 12th birthday by January 1, 1970 and have not reached their 21st birthday by December 31, 1970. The 4-H Club movement in Canada remains as one of the strong youth organizations of the World. Membership in Canada is getting close to the 80,000 mark in over 700 different agricultural clubs. The chief objectives of 4-H are: 1. To provide experience for young people which will assist with their personal growth and development. 2. To motivate young people to prepare themselves for responsible living. 3. To help young people: (a) develop an appreciation of agriculture and the major role it plays in community life. (b) develop self-confidence and the ability to work with others. (c) develop a sense of responsibility and qualities of leadership. (d) acquire the habits and attitudes necessary for a satisfying home and community life. (e) acquire knowledge and skills of modern agriculture. Clubs offered are as follows: 4-H Beef or Dairy Calf Clubs: Feed and care for one calf during the club year. Junior Heifer — born between January one acre of either corn or forage or white beans. Multi-Project Clubs: Members in Field Crop Clubs may take up to three different projects within the same club, 4-H Tractor and Machinery Maintenance Clubs: Keep records of the cost of operating and maintaining the farm tractor during the club year. Study economical tractor operation and maintenance and learn how to make minor adjustments. Senior Projects (members must be 16 as of January 1, 1970). Conservation: Many projects are available, dealing with forests, soil, water, fish and wildlife in our modern economy. Other Senior projects are in ti.e planning stages. If anyone has any interest in a project we welcome your ideas along this line. For further details as to the times and locations of the 4-H Organizational Meetings, in your area, refer to the advertisement in this newspaper or the article in the 1970 issue of the Huron County Soil and Crop Newspaper. It is hoped that as many young boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20 as possible will take part in the 4-H program. Such County events as 4-H picnics, bus tours, field days, and Judging Competition, should make this year's 4-1-1 program an interesting one. DASHWOOD Phone 237-3381 or 237-3422 The president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture challenged "Christian people" to find out about the problems of the farmer and do something about them, Gordon Hill of Varna said the church as an institution seems unable to help rural People "in a worsening situation" because the church belongs to the establishment. Church attitudes have become institutionalized instead of Christian, said Mr. Hill. He was speaking to about 100 persons at a meeting in Northside United Church in Seaforth Friday on `What's happening to rural people in the Huron-Perth presbytery of the United Church?" Mr. Hill discussed the plight of many farmers who live on marginal incomes as they fight the squeeze of costs and prices. A move from the farm to the city is a frightening- prospect for the farmer, he said. "Farmers do not want to risk change of occupation because they fear the unknown situation that requires considerable adjustment on their part," said Mr. Hill. "Christian people have to become involved in the dirty work of doing the job that needs to be done. We must find out what the farmer's problem is before anything can be done." Mr. Hill urged that farmers become more involved in farm organizations. The meeting also included a three-man panel made up of Don Pullen, Clinton, agricultural representative for Huron County; Ross McPhail, RR 1 Cromarty, warden of Perth County; and Rev. Douglas Brydon of Watford United Church. Mr. Brydon said the church member must be prepared to tackle the "gut is:sues" of the day. "We are confused by the total situation presented to us today for which we do not have a solution," said Mr. Brydon. In his view the main problem is "how to learn to live in harmony." Mr. McPhail felt many changes already have been made in the church and he thought the Huron-Perth, presbytery, in amalgamating the presbytery and some rural churches, may be leading the way in change. Ref. R. H. Daynard, RR 1 Staffa, chairman of the meeting suggested that similar meetings be held at the local level, Farmers hear about white paper The Ontario Hydro Building, London was filled to near capacity Thursday evening by farmers of Middlesex to hear more about the "White Paper" and how it could effect them. Don McArthur from the Centralia School of Agricultural Technology conducted a panel discussion on the subject. He was ably supported by John Robinson, chartered accountant, London, Ray Cunningham, director of properties for O.F.A., Dick Heardwith the farm management department of O.F.A. and Ray McDougall from an incorporated family farm. A lively discussion followed and it was brought out that farming is a business where much of the earnings have to be invested back into the farm, thus providing a low income and high capital gain. Farmers thought they couid benefit from a registered retirement plan, whereby they could invest a lump sum upon selling out their business to retire. Many thought that the present estate taxes effect the farmer more than the white paper. 1 and May 1, 1970; Senior Heifer — born between July 1 and December 31, 1969. Baby beef steers and heifers for market purposes are also in this Senior age group, or maybe a group of five or more steers. 4-H Swine Club: This year the Huron County Hog Producers will lend $50.00 toward the purchase of two breeding gilts' to the first fifty members interested. The members may borrow the money from the Hog Producers at the first of the club year and are required to pay the borrowed money back by November 1, 1970. Senior members (16 as of January 1, 1970) of a Swine Club may enroll in a Market Hog Club where they feed and care for a minimum of five market hogs. Instead of being organized on March 26 and 30 with other clubs, the Swine Clubs will be organized on the evening of April 16, 1970 in the Clinton Board Room at 8:00 p.m. 4-H Field Crop Clubs: The member must seed and care for Rabbit group celebrates The March meeting of the South Huron Rabbit Breeders' was held Tuesday evening in Elimville Hall with a very good k turn out of members to celebrate the first anniversary of the club's formation. Highlight of the evening was election of officers and Mr. George Carpenter was chairman for nomination of officers. David Stanley of RR 2 Denfield, was elected president succeeding Wm. Dickey. Pat Dickey and Angus Murray were returned to office as vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Mrs. Shirley Willis was elected press reporter for the coming year.
