HYBRID CORN SEED
Not always better,
but better overall.
This Fall, more Canadian farmers will
see the figures that show Trojan does
a better job for them. With corn that
yields, stands, dries clown—is in some
waly—better.
Trojan Won't come out on top every
time, of course, But Trojan will win
overall: Simply because Trojan has a
better chance of developing the best
hybrids.
Wayne Hopper
One reason: all-those Pfizer
research farms. In Ontario.. In the US
corn belt. In Florida. They even have
some in Hawaii where they get 31/2
generations of corn "a year!
Ask us if Trojan has a hybrid that
will do better on your farm, We'll tell
you if we don't. We're that kind of
company.

Competition
boosts
farm safety
The Farm Safety Association
of Ontario is using competition to
boost interest in farm safety
amnong young people. Larry
Swinn, public relations coordina-
tor for the association, says 20
tractor safety competitions are
being held in conjunction with the
Junior Farmers Association of
Ontario. The Farm Safety
Associations held four tractor
safety competitions in the
province in 1976 to guage
interest.
The competitions' this summer
have proven so successful, that
the association hopes to expand
the program and begin provincial
finals next year.
"The purpose of the compe-
titions is to promote safety in the
16 to 30-year-old age group," he
says. "A large percentage of farm
accidents involve young people
under the age of 25."
Mr. Swinn expects that more
than 250 Junior FArmers will
participate in the tractor safety
competitions which are being
held at fall fairs, local plowing
competitions, and other
community events.
The competitions consists of a
written examination on safe use
of tractors, and an obstacle course
through which competitors
maneuver a tractor and wagon.
Winners are chosen on the basis
of the written test, speed, safe
practice, and driving skill.
