Speaking to the,annual meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Clinton, Mr. Wright said that although manufacturers are trying to im- prove their parts service all the time, they are hampered by poor transportation. He said railway express ser- vices were no longer interested in carrying small items and there are so many trucking companies in the province that scheduling becomes a problem. A possible answer, he said, is the new bus parcel express depot in Toronto which can speed small parcels to their destination faster than other means of transportation. Companies shipping in parts from the United States, he said, often run into delays because customs officials work only 9 to 5 hours and parcels can be held up overnight or over a weekend, Mr. Wright said that since the new Farm Machinery Board was formed in June most of the work Twp, of Mc0111Ivray- will be received at the clerk's office, 171 King St., Parkhill from 9:00 a.m. let the dealer know that he is willing to pay the extra costs to get the needed part in a hurry. Later in the meeting, the members of the Federation 41). proved a resolution to go to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's annual meeting later this month, asking for a list of emergency parts personnel and their telephone numbers to be distributed to OFA members so has involved investigating farmers complaints, AU but two or three of the 80 complaints have been resolved, he said. Members of the five man board have also toured farm manufac- turing plants in Canada and the U.S. to see what facilities the companies had for parts. In one plant, he said, the parts depart- ment covered 25 acres under one roof. He said that most problems in companies were not parts problems but people problems Often a parts man with a com- pany, he said, wasn't concerned about the fact that a combine somewhere may be broken and needing a part, but was only interested in Friday night and pay day. He said that anyone who has a complaint should submit it in writing to the board. Mr, Wright said that he would then talk to all parties concerned and if necessary get them together to work out their problems. He stressed that preventive maintenance would often prevent machines from breaking down just when they were most needed, but if an emergency did arise he said the farmer should Thursday, Nov, 23, to :.!;;10 Monday, Nov. 27 for the office of one councillor W.

Representatives from other counties in the area included Bert Hodgins of the Bruce Federation who said the Bruce group is working with farmers who will be effected by the proposed hydro line from Douglas Point to Seaforth and said he hoped that Huron Federa- tion would be able to work with Bruce and the OFA to help farmers get a fair deal from Ontario Hydro. Final pay on '71 beans Close to thousand attend night classes Many problems Several new classes will be beginning in January '73. Those already suggested are rug hooking, golf instruction and in- terior decorating, with silage gas Final payment for the 1971 white bean crop has been sent to producers. This payment represents $1.77 per hundredweight, $10.53 per cwt. In spite of adverse weather conditions throughout the whole growing season a 1972 crop of between 1.7 and 1.8 million hun- dredweight is anticipated. According to a white bean newsletter the 1972 crop has been one of the most difficult to produce and handle in recent years. The final crop report for 1971 shows domestic sales of 474,691 cwt, export, 980,552 cwt, and seed 94,810 cwt for a total volume of 1,550,053 hundredweight. The yelloweye bean crop for that year was 19,390 cwt plus 800 cwt seed, totaling 20,190 cwt. The white bean inventory received to date in 1972 is 1,373,- 141 cwt. and the yelloweye inven- tory 568,000 cwt. The United States department of agriculture report for October shows a yield of 1,200 pounds per acre in the Michigan crop, The estimated acreage of white beans is approximately 560,000 acres. This would result in an ap- proximate production of 5,720,000 cwt. This is up from the 5,209,000 cwt. in 1971 and 5,163,000 cwt. in 1970. Producer price since harvest in Michigan has been in the $7,75 to $8.00 per hun- dredweight range. CCAT second at Royal Winter A team of four students from Centralia College of Agricultural Technology placed second in the Livestock Evaluation Competi- tion held recently at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto. Members of the team, all senior year students in the Agricultural Business Manage- ment course, were David Drum- mond, Monkton, Gordon MacKay, Embro, Jim McLagan, Mitchell, and Douglas McRae, Denfield. The competition, held annually between Agricultural Colleges in Ontario and nearby States, in- volves practical exercises in selecting and culling dairy cattle, beef cattle, pigs and sheep (Highest scoring individual stu- dent in the competition was Douglas McRae, from Centralia College and he received the C. D, Graham Memorial Trophy.) The team was coached by Mr. D. Jamieson, head of the livestock Division at Centralia College. About 990 are returning to school one night each week to attend classes in subjects of their own interest ranging from art and auto mechanics to welding and women's physical fitness. At the same time last year only 709 had registered. Several new classes have been added to those which have been available in former years. Sewing and typing continue to be two of the most popular courses, but their position is being rivalled by gourmet cooking, li- quid embroidery and hair dressing or personal grooming. Judo, karate, golf and badminton classes all have large enrolments. Although several students still attend evening classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, computer program- ming and grade XIII subjects for credit toward a certificate, the majority are interested in leisure time activities such as ceramics, oil painting, pohotography and upholstery. This year, for the first time, two classes in tailoring are being taught at Seaforth District High School. These resulted from a request from a group in that area. The Huron County Board of Education had indicated a willingness to provide a class in any area where such interest is shown and 'an instructor is available. An unusually high incidence of silage gas problems is reported this year. Due to the fact that corn has been harvested when immature, and the poor crop has been brought in and stored while still wet there is fear that nox- ious silage gases will affect even more farmers this fall. "We have just received reports of people in the area being over- come by silage gas," a member of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food stated. "One man is in serious condition as a result of being overcome." Generally a yellowish—brown vapor, silage gas is extremely toxic, It is heavier than air and will flow down through doors. • This year, more than ever, safety experts recommend: —never enter a silo alone, be sure someone is with you in case ,of fumes. —use an oxygen supply and mask when removing doors or climbing a silo —call the doctor immediately if exposed. Paralysis and death can be the results of exposure. The Fact that our 12th-grade English textbook is a generation behind the times became obvious in a recent classroom incident. I was instructing the class in ad- verbial clauses, and my face turned beet-red as I read this sentence to a room full of giggling seniors: "After I had taken the pill, I was ready for bed."
