hear expert guests
BY TAMMY COOK
On March 26 the members of
Ethel I, 4-H met at the Ethel Hall.
Ethel III and Cranbrook were also
present at this meeting.
The meeting started with the
president from all three clubs
going to the front for the 4-H
pledge. After that the clubs and
their leaders were introduced.
After the introductions they
were all seated and ready to hear
from Constable Marshall of the
O.P.P. He gave a very humourous
speech then showed a film entitled
“Warm To The Touch’’. It was
about what it takes to be a cautious
driver.
When the film ended they went
into their four previously assigned
groups where they would then
rotate from room to room asking
questions of the five guest speak
ers. They were Constable Mar
shall , an electrician Mr. Workman,
a plumber Mr. Evans and two
firemen Mr. Earl and Mr. Engle.
When they finished their cycle they
went back for hot chocolate and
cookies. The meeting ended with
the vice presidents going to the
front for the 4-H motto.

As the economy continues to put
pressure on crop production effi
ciency, more growers will be
measuring the benefits of Certified
seed against the perceived dollar
savings of using bin-run seed.
It is a fact that still over 80 per
cent of our cultivated land is sown
with non-certified seed each year.
This can prove to be an expensive
tradition because it can deny the
farmer maximum yield and qual
ity, and perpetuate weed and

Many farmers still believe they
can save money by hauling grain in
the bin to the elevator to have it
cleaned and hauling it back to the
farm for planting. Planting seed
from the bin may save a little
money on the seed purchase, but
that’soften where the savings end.
In fact, tests prove that bin-run
seed can costyou money in the long
run by reducing crop yields and
quality.
