WAIVER OF FINANCE
CHARGES, TOO!
We have some real bargains on new John Deere 8430 and 8630 Tractors.
In addition, if you buy between now and 28 February 1978, no finance
charges will be imposed on the tractor you choose, or on any tillage
implement for that tractor purchased on the same sales contract,
until 1 March 1978. On 1 March 1978, you may elect to either pay the
remaining principal balance owing, or continue the financing agreement
with your John Deere dealer.
Now for less than you thought you can have the increased power
and traction of a 4-wheeler. You'll like the power ratings: 275 engine hp,
225 PTO hp in the 8630; and 215 engine hp, 175 PTO hp in the 8430.
You'll like the air-conditioned Sound-Gard ° body that's regular

New bridge
is erected
By LARRY LICHTY
On Wednesday, October 5, the
Exeter Kinsmen put the finishing
touches .on the bridge over the
Ausable River at Riverview
Park.
The bridge had to be replaced
due to large ice flows this spring
which dislodged it and broke it
upon the concrete abutment of
the highway bridge.
The new bridge was made out
of cedar and redwood and it used
the same design as previous
bridges. It cost approximately
$1000 to build, and of that figure
$500 was donated by the Kinsmen
club,
Over 150 man hours went into
building the bridge. This project
' took the Kinsmen approximately
eight weeks to complete.
The task of building the bridge
has been a tradition with the club
dating back to 1967 when the first
bridges were installed for the
Centennial celebration. The
people in charge of building the
first bridges were president
Gilbert Dow and project chair-
man Ross Dobson.
This year's president Eric
Finkbeiner, the project chairman
Dennis Hockey, along with the
rest of the Exeter Kinsmen would
like to thank the following for
their participation in the building
of the bridge: Conklin Lumber;
Exeter Town Works Dept.,
Exeter P .U.0 . , S wei tz er
Excavating, Exeter Co-Op,
Hamiltons Machine Shop,

sumption became critical.
A University of Guelph study
funded by Agriculture Canada
ranks farm products by the
amount of energy they consume
in relation to the amount of food
energy they return for human
consumption, The energy-
consumption to energy-obtained
ratio indicates the efficiency of
producing a plant or animal
product.
Professor P. H. Southwell, who
is conducting the two-year study
under a $44,000 contract with the
federal government, has
calculated the total amount of
energy needed to produce each
item of food, op to the farm gate,
He has included not just the
amount of fuel required for
machinery to grow, harvest, and
store a crop, but also the energy
needed to make steel for tractors,
cement for barns, fertilizers for
plant nutrition and pesticides for
insect and disease control. Food
processing and cooking costs
were not considered in the study,
Beef production is a more ef-
ficient user of energy than broiler
chicken raising. Beef returns 115
units of energy for every 100 units
used in production, providing the
energy value of the manure as
fertilizer is counted as an output.
Broiler chickens cost energy to
produce, returning only about 25
Some members of the com-
mittee in charge of organizing
next year's International
Plowing Match will be invited to
the next meeting of Wingham
council to discuss ways the town
can get involved in promoting the
match.
Wingham Councillor Allan
Harrison told council he is in-
units of energy for every 100 units
consumed in their production.
Eggs return almost 50 units for
every 100 units used in produc-
tion, pork 60 units, and milk 94
units.
On the other hand, many field
crops are energy producers. For
instance, Ontario soybeans
return 540 units of energy for
every 100 units expended in
production and carrots return
380. But asparagus returns only
seven units of nutritional energy
and cucumbers 76.
Among fruits, peaches are at
the break-even point, giving back
the same amount of energy for
nutrition as is used in their
production. Apples return 207
units for every 100 they require;
raspberries are the least efficient
fruit, returning only 34 units.
Using peaches as one example,
Professor Southwell has also
calculated the energy costs of
imported food in relation to
Ontario-grown food. Trucking
fresh peaches in from the United
States uses three times as much
energy as is required to grow
them in Ontario.
This year, Professor Southwell
and his team are determining the
energy costs of transportation
associated with Ontario
agriculture,
terested in seeing the town "get
behind this and promote it".
He visited the plowing match
near Kingston last week, he
reported, and spent a lot of time
at the Huron County exhibit.
Wingham was one of the few
towns or villages in the county
not represented in the exhibit, he
said, and people there expressed
concern that, with the coming
match so nearby, the town ap-
pears to be taking no interest in
it.
Mr. Harrison suggested ban-
ners, a special sale or window
displays by the merchants as
ways Wingham could help
promote the match, which, he
predicted, will bring money into
town. Kingston, about seven
miles from this year's site, footed
the bill for a $12,000 banquet, he
reported, and awhile Wingham
couldn't get involved on that
scale, some thought should be
given to what it can do.
He said profits from the
plowing match are used to benefit
the area in which it is held,
pointing out the Ontario
Plowmen's Association donated
$36,000 to Bruce County following
the international match in
Walkerton last year.

In a letter sent to 4-H co.
ordinators in its service area,
United Breeders Incorporated
Inc. has offered beef 4-Hbrs "a
competition, in four parts,
designed as a test of intelligence,
self expression, showmanship
and knowledge".
The 4-11 beef silver dollar
competition, as it will be known,
is scheduled for 1978, It will be
open to senior 4-Hers in the 15
southern Ontario counties served
by the breeding unit.
Prizes are silver dollars - 75
silver dollars for the Grand
Champion, 50 for the Reserve
Champion and 25 for honorable
mention. All will be on engraved
silver trays.
Winners of the four divisions
will also receive 25 silver dollars -
for best-answered senior level
quiz, for best essay on a
challenging topic of beef interest,
for best showman and for best
calf.
This competition parallels an
already existing • program,
sponsored by United Breeders,
which each year brings together
top dairy 4-,Hers from Central
and Midwestern Ontario.
The beef 4-H Silver dollar
competition is centered around a
heifer calf project. Most existing
senior beef competitions are
steer shows.
Dr, C,R, Reeds, general
manager and beef specialist at
United Breeders, explained the
philosophy behind the silver
dollar competition this way,
"Since there are already many
opportunities for 4-Hers to enter
steer shows, we feel it is logical
for United to sponsor a com-
petition involving breeding
animals which may become for
the 4-11er an ongoing project, We
want to challenge the inherent
abilities of these 4-Hers, and to do
everything we can to encourage
and reward them."
With the show scheduled for the
fall ofl978, potential competitors
will be selecting their heifer
calves this fall and winter,
