A letter from the Crop Im- provement Association was read at the regular meeting of the Federation which claimed far- mers had suffered crop losses this year because of the inac- curacy of weather forecasts em- Mating from the Mount Forest weather station via a local radio station. The Crop Improvement Association has sent letters to Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron, the weather station and CKNX radio complaining about the service. The complaint said that the forecast often said farmers could expect 24 to 36 hours of good harvesting weather before a weather front would move in while stations in the Detroit area were saying it would be only six to nine hours before rain could be expected. Many farmers went ahead with operations such as bean pulling only to find that the Detroit forecasts were unfor- tunately more accurate than those of Mount Forest. The letter claimed many beans were lost because of this. It was felt that the forecasts came from Toronto and were only relayed through Mount For- est. Since weather systems moved in from the west, it was felt the forecasts did not take this time difference into effect. During the diScussion on the letter, John Stafford, past presi- dent of the Federation commen- ted "They usually can forecast what happened yesterday—that's about as close as they dome." At the Thursday meeting the group also agreed to form a com- mittee to prepare a brief t o be presented to the Select Legis- lature Committee on Municipal Drains when it meets in this area. Such a meeting is expec- ted some time in the new year. Four county executive mem- bers were elected at the meeting. They are: John Stafford,R.R.1, Wroxeter; Vince Austin, R.R.1, Dungannon; Adrian Vos, Blyth and Gordon Blanchard, R.R.4, Walton. 2 cups cubed cooked smoked ham 1 tablespoon lard or drip- pings 1 package (9 ounces) frozen Frenched green beans, cooked 1 can (4 to 6 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup dairy sour cream 1/3 cup cracker crumbs 4 teaspoons melted butter Brown ham cubes in lard or drippings.
