The purpose of the exchange
was -to give young people a
chance to socialize, exchange
ideas and visit a part of America

Len MacGregor, extension'
assistant for Huron County. in
charge of the tour.
This has been the largest
delegation of 4-H members to
visit the County over the years

McKinley, County Warden ex-
plained to an interested audience
how community government
operates and explained the
functions and duties of the
various offices.' The Americans
were impressed with the local
autonomy and explained that in
Indiana persons must state
whether they are republican or a
democrat and if they intend to
run for any public office.
The administration of the
county was outlined by Bill
Hanley, Huron Clerk-Treasurer
and Administrator. He explained
the building and maintenance of
public roads, property bylaws
and how the Huron County Health
Board operates. Also mentioned
was the Huronview, the County
home for the aged and for those
unable to care for themselves,
Last stop on the tour was Huron
County Pioneer Museum in
Goderich. Not only was this a new
experience for the visitors but for
the local club members as well.
Many had never visited the
museum before or had not been
there for years. Everyone en-
joyed wandering among the
artifacts, antiques and curios of
the past era.
On Sunday, the 4-H council
planned a party and picnic for the
delegates at Balls Grove near
Auburn. Games and swimming
filled the afternoon followed by a
pot luck supper. The evening
program consisted of a baseball
game, folk dancing and a camp-
fire singsong.
Asked if they would enjoy
living in Canada many of the
visitors stated that Canada is a
great place to visit but there's no
place like home.

Exeter Royals shutout
Parkhill Padres 8-0
Exeter Royals hurler Brian
Hodgins turned in a strong
performance on the mound last
Thursday night allowing the
Parkhill Padres four hits while
striking out 13, It was the sixth
win against one loss for the
Royals right hander.
The Royals bats were again
booming as they pounded out 10
hits against three Parkhill pit-
chers.
The Royals opened the scoring
in the second inning as Paul
McKnight singled and came
around to score without the aid of
a hit. The Royals added three
runs in the third as Ron Bogart
led off with a double to right field,
Singles by Ray Lumsden and
Scott Burton along with miscues
by Parkhill allowed the runs to
score.
The Royals added another run
in the fourth on a pair of errors
and Doug Pearson's single.
Two more runs were added in
the fifth inning as Jim Rolph
singled and rode home on Paul
McKnight's long home run to left
field.
Again in the seventh the Royals
added their eighth run as Jim
Pfaff singled and came in on a
bases-loaded walk.
Parkhill mounted little offence
against the offerings of Brian
Hodgins and went down in order
in four of the seven innings.

Saturday in Ailsa Craig at 9:00.

Hill for a 9:00 p.m. contest. The

Director of research, George
Jones guided the guests through
fields of experimental plantings
of barley, corn, wheat and beans,
explaining the different
techniques being used to develop
improved seed.
President of Stewart Seeds

particularly to the news media
that never has there been a time
when accurate reporting has
been needed, He pointed out that
the public, which is not familiar
with many aspects of agriculture
depend on the media and often
become "instant experts" from
what they read in the media.
Mr. Stewart said the firm was
placing continuing emphasis on
"Early Hybrid" Canadian corn
market with several new hybrids
licenced for sale in Canada in the
past year. He said Stewarts were
also expanding its hybrid corn
breeding programs for in-
ternational markets with testing
going . on in 17 countries
throughout the world.
The firm was pleased and
proud of the progress made with
the "double haploid" barley
breeding program now in test,
according to Mr. Stewart. He said
the firm's total plant breeding
program now includes hybrid
corn, sweet corn, barley,
soybeans, white beans, hybrid
winter wheats and oats.

Advances in the development
of "doubled haploid" barley
breeding highlighted the annual
"media day" tour at the research
farms of Stewart Seeds Limited
near Ailsa Craig on Friday.
Farm writers, broadcasters,
journalists and agricultural
experts from Canada and the
United States saw work at the
research station being carried
out by Dr. and Mrs. Key Ming Ho
who recently joined the Stewart
research team, Dr. Ho is
responsible for the haploid barley
other states in the USA and other
provinces within Canada.
The Indiana delegates were
feted during their week's stay at
several social gatherings, On the
evening of July 17 a "Welcome to
Huron County" party was held at
the home of Mr. & Mrs. Bob
Carter, RR 3, Blyth. The
programme consisted of roller
skating at the Blyth Arena,
followed by games, dancing and
refreshments at the Carter farm.
On Friday the visitors were
taken on a tour of Huron County.
The group met at Cook's White
Bean Processing Plant at Cen-
tralia at 9:00 sharp. Leading the
tour, supplying information and
answering the questions of the
young farmers was plant
manager Earl Reichert.
The American visitors com-
mented that the landscape of
Huron was similar to Indiana but
their main bean crop is soya
beans rather than white beans.
Everyone on the tour received
a complimentary sample of the
white beans processed by the
plant.
Next stop was Canadian
Canners Limited of Exeter,
where the group followed the
canning process from when the
peas came in fresh from the field
until they emerged in endless
rows of cans sorted, cooked,
stamped and labelled, ap-
proximately one hour after
picking. Of interest was the
explanation of the code stamped
on each can. For example one
can was stamped KCZ PJ9102 K
ihdicates the cannery, in this
case, Exeter. C stands for choice
quality, the Z means that the can
contains peas. The rest of the
code PJ9102 tells the day, month,
year and time of canning.
The tour was divided into three
groups led by Cannery personnel,
Terry Bourne, Wilf Beattie and
Claude Morin, all of Exeter.
After a picnic lunch and a rest
under the trees at Morrison Dam
Conservation Area the party
moved on to Goderich.
Huron County Agricultural
representative Don Pullen spoke
to the members at the County
Council Chambers on local
agricultural practices, landuse,
crops and livestock. He sup-
plemented his talk with a slide
presentation on the area. Anson
