This year Huron County should
have a white bean crop that is
"at least equal to or greater
than" the 1976 crop, according to
Don Pullen, Huron County
agricultural representative for
Ontario's Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
"The crop shows a great deal
of promise", he said. Farmers
hope to be spared the persistent
rains that cause white mould and
the damp humid weather that
results in bronzing, which is
sometimes confused with natural
ripening.
Charles Broadwell, general
manager of the Bean Marketing
Board, could not be reached for
comment. His assistant, Allan
Magrath, said at present "we are
headed tor a bumper or record
crop." He expressed fear that
losses in yield might occur from
mould or blight.
A yield of 1,500 pounds to the
acre is forecast at present. Last
year's yield was 1,250 pounds to
the acre. Since then, the number
of acres sown in white beans in
Ontario has gone up from 146,000
to 149,000.
Huron, Perth and Middlesex
Counties account for 85 per cent
of Ontario's white bean produc-
tion, About 40 per cent of tri-
county production originates in
Huron, where 63,000 acres of
white beans are planted this
year. The acreage given them in
1977 has increased in all three
counties. Mr. Magrath thought
this reflected a disenchantment
with other crops.
He had some reservations
about prices. Last year farmers
received $16.25 to $16.50 a bushel.
He doubted if the present crop,
which is still not in the barn,
would go as high, but did not an-
ticipate a dramatic drop. Any
outright prediction would be
premature at this point.
"We hope for normal con-
ditions, so they won't have
harvest problems", he said.
Ontario's white bean yield is
usually about 30 per cent greater
than that of Michigan. The
American state expects a record
crop this year, too. Supply and
demand affect white bean prices
as much as those of other com-
modities.
The International Plowing
Match still has over two months
to go before the gates open on the
Greenlees Bros. farm not far
from Kingston, but already,
several firsts have been arranged
to make the show more in-
teresting and convenient.
For the first time since sod was
turned at the original event in
1913, the shoal will be opened by a
woman. Miss Flora MacDonald,
MP for Kingston and the Islands
has accepted the invitation to
officiate at, ceremonies on
Tuesday, September 27. The five
day event* runs to Saturday,
October 1.
Another innovation is a six
street plan for the amazing
tented city. The popularity of the
plowing match over the past few
years among rural and urban
people alike, has led to demands
for a more spacious plan for the
fully-serviced "community"
which rises on the site. It is felt
Mark several firsts
at upcoming match
that six slightly shorter streets, 1
rather than five longer ones, will
improve convenience for
everyone concerned from
utilities, exhibitors and caterers,
to the general public attending
the show.
A third first is the introduction
of a special traffic committee.
Representatives of the Ontario
Provincial Police, the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications, the county engineer
and township road superin-
tendent are meeting with
members of the Ontario
Plowman's Association and the
Frontenac County local. com-
mittee to survey the road
situation in the vicinity of the
site. The committee is preparing
routings, road closings,
emergency routes and con-
tingency plans to ensure that the
expected crowds get to and from
the site near Joyceville with
minimal traffic problems.

Ontario dairy farmers are to
receive a price increase of just
over three per cent or 42 cents per
hundredweight for the milk they
spreopdteumcebefrorwtable use, effective
In announcing the increase, the
Chairman of the Ontario Milk
Marketing Board, Kenneth G.
McKinnon, stated that for several
years the Board has determined
the price to its producers for raw
amilkmia a bys a
guide,
usina economic for-
"Recent available in-
formation," he said, " indicates
that milk producers' incomes are
lagging and they require an
immediate but modest increase
helpto offset their cost in-
creases,"
Mr, McKinnon noted certain
increases in the cost of producing
milk since the last increase to
dairy farmers on April 1 of this
year.
"Since April," he said,
"significant increases have
occurred in the cost of electricity
and fuel, both commodities used
extensively on dairy farms. In
addition, equipment and repairs,
labor, feed costs and property
taxes have been increasing."
The increase in the producer
price is in compliance with the
Anti-Inflation Board guidelines.
