BRUCE COUNTY FARM REPORT NEW LOOK FOR AN OLD PROGRAM In a move sparked by 4-H Grain Club leaders from Teeswater, an old and well established 4-H Club will take on a new appearance in 1977. The Grain Club in Teeswater has always been the last, club to oxganize and suffers other ailments ranging from conflicting meeting dates to not enough time to carry out a proper program. It was decided that the Teeswat- er Corn, Forage and Grain Club would commence their 4-H year informally at the Grey-Bruce Farm- ers' Week Crops Day at Hanover. Hopefully attendance at Crops Day has sparked new ideas for club work as welt as instruction in long practiced cropping programs. By lengthening out the year, a lot of club meeting can be completed valuable information can be viewed long before a crop is planted. Hopefully more clubs will grasp this new slant on 4-H, upon the successful completion of Teeswat- er's new Corn, Forage and .Grain Club. RANDY WILLICK, Extension Assistant. THE GRAIN ELEVATOR STORAGE ACT `Recently we received a copy of the Grain Elevator Storage Act "which protects farmers who store their grain in elevators from harvest to selling time. The big danger is bankruptcy of • the elevator owner and subsequent seizing of the grain in storage by creditors. The only protection a producer has is his copy of the Grain Storage Receipt. M. R.
