If the administrator does a good job and makes sure that accurate and complete information gets to the politicians there is a hope that things may run smoothly in local government. If not, chaos reins. There are cases where the public servant becomes even more important. When the people elect weak politicians the public service often ends up virtually running the local government not for the politicians, but inspite of them. It may not be representative democracy at its best, but often it's the only "I would say about 90 'per cent of the wheat is sprouted," said Doug Mann, manager of W.G. Thompson and Sons in Hensall, a grain elevator depot. "It's not thing that keeps the wheels of government turning at all. But what is such a public servant likely to get for this? Most likely a lot of abuse both from above and below, from the politicians who resent the leadership of the person .who's supposed to be their employee even though they don't want to lead themselves 'and from the public who feels the public servant is getting too big for his boots.

It means a 55 per cent bushel scount." , The source of the problem for both the wheat and the beans is the weather. "The damp, humid conditions we've had iover the last couple of weeks is the cause," said Don Pullen, agriculture representative at the OMAF office in Clinton. "These conditions are ideal for the mould." "At this point in time you can't tell the costs," he added. "It will reduce yields, but it doesn't affect bean quality. The mould can be sporadic throughout the field. It could get serious if this weather doesn't improve." The mould will be most prevalent in fields Bluevale hall that supported beans last year, or in fields' where lush first yeaf bean growth prevents the soil from drying out. Spraying is one treatment for the mould, but once the disease has settled it cannot be stopped. "The key is prevention,' " said Pullen. "There's no point in spraying after it has started." There are four registered chemicals that ain be used to treat the mould, and they may be applied by both ground rigs and airplanes. The products are Benlate, Botran, Bravo and Easeout. The sprouting wheat hits in a season when yields are high. Mr. Mann said. yields are usually about 60 bushels per acre but this yeat it is about 10 per cent higher. "Some yields have been up to 85 an acre," he said, "but some have been as low as SO." Mr. Mann added that the higher average yield doesn't really make up for the losses caused by the poorer quality wheat. "To have such a good crop and have it lost to the weather, well, it's a real devastating :loss to the farmer," *sitid Mr. Mann. "It's something people who have farmed all their lives have had to deal with before," said Mr. Pullen. 0,4 The damp weather which has prevailed in the area for the past month is causing white mould to spread in bean crops as well as sprouting in wheat crops.

The group said proposed sketches for a new hall would be welcomed, including sketches for the new kitchen for the building committee to consider. .141,• 1,11.• 1,,ta ts ,1 ./).4t1 I /4. ,1•64 1) tt 46 ,P1,4, 1,61,1
