Proper selection of
11. barley variety
is important to select the right variety for your
area. 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. Insect control
Insect control must be considered. Commercial
Barley seed is already treated for control of covered
smut and seedling blight, but White Grubs and
Wireworms may be a problem, check with your
Co-operative. 'Registered Trade Mark

soybeans
The most remarkable
herbicide ever-developed.

soybeans.
• Lasso 4 mixed with Atrazine 80W controls both broadleaf weeds
and grasses in corn.
• Lasso 4 gives excellent results with as little as 3/10-inch of rain,
yet won't leach out with heavy rain.
• Lasso 4 works consistently in heavy and light soils and performs
well regardless of organic matter.
Available from your local Co-op Farm Centre or your local Aero
Fertilizer Blender.

Christians challenged
on farming problems
March 26 and March 30, most
of the 4-H clubs in Huron
County will be organized. '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.

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.
Auctioneer for the Dutch
Auction was Ron Parsons and
winner of the prize was Sandra
Murray.
Lunch was served. The next
meeting of the club will be held
April 14 in Elimville Hall.
