"The corn isn't as. far advanced • as it was this time last year and the cold nights aren't helping," he said. "We need more heat if it is going of mature properly for grain." The stand is good and the plant population is good. If we get the warm weather immediately or very shortly there shouldn't be any problem," said Mr. Pullen.

"If has been quite serious. The weather conditions have been ideal for white bean mould and we will likely have our share of it," Mr. Pullen said. A lot of farmers sprayed for the mould, Mr. Pullen said, but the treatment is only good for .two weeks. Now it is pretty well past the, stage where it can be treated. But conditions north of the 'Hensall area. and through central Huron are fairly good as this area hasn't received near as much rain, he said. • Bob Black 95 , . ..
