Mike Miller quits post By JIM FITZGERALD A well-known and highly respected member of Huron County's agricultural scene is leaving his post after a decade of work. Mike Miller, associate agricultural representative for Huron County for the ministry of agricultural and food, who works out of the Clinton office, retired this week. The popular soils and crop specialist wants to farm his 250 acres near Ridgetown and do some travelling in North America. "I don't want to be too tied down," he said in an interview. Mike as he was known in area farming circles, came to Huron in October of 1969 and liked the location and job so much he stayed on and made the Clinton office unlike some in other counties which have a high turnover rate. As well as looking after the soils and crops in Huron, Mike was also secretary of the Huron Soil and Crop Association for the last ten years and enjoyed his in- volvement when Huron hosted the International Plowing Match in 1978. "It's very difficult to leave such an excellent office staff and the associations in the county," Mike admitted. "This is a good county to work in. It (farming) is very progressive here and Huron has always been in the vanguard in innovating new techniques, The job was always a challenge," he explained. Over the past decade he has seen many changes in farming, including the in- troduction of slated livestock barns, modern milking parlors, large poultry operations and the large scale cash cropping units. But with the increased size also comes stress, and ac- cording to Mike the ultimate size of an operation is based only on the farmer's ability to manage 'it and handle the stress. Although he is optimistic about the future of farming, despite the current cost pinch and low prices, he said he was not "starry-eyed-- about the future the way some experts are. "I've seen three ring-outs (downturns) since I've been connected with farming, one in the mid 60's, another again in 1969 to '71, and 'how this one in 1980. We'll just have to plan for them," he said. "What's .really un- fortunate is some farmers have been caught in the timing squeeze and were in the wrong place at the wrong time, but there were some in trouble before the high in- terest rates hit," Mike noted. • He thinks that cash cropping will be carried out on rented land more and more in the future, as there is a trend away from owner- operator units. He explained, "Land values are under value if compared to gold, but over valued if compared to commodity prices."

Miss Shirley Switzer of Edmonton is visiting with Ladies perform By MRS, FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA' A ladies choir provided the music for the Mother's Day service in the United Church, on Sunday. There was organ and piano =isle by Mr. Gill and Mrs. Ray Mills. The children's story was told by Mr. Schott. "The Parable of, the Weeds" was the subject chosen by Mr. Schott for his sermon.

The field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the Kingdom; the weeds are the people who belong outside," Paul said, "Do not let evil conquer you, but use good to defeat evil." The new hymn books were dedicated during the service. Much credit is due to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Blair for their efforts in obtaining the new books for assuming the responsiblility of ordering andtransporting the books.
