Kinsmen sponsoring first Farm Show in Lucknow Members of the Lucknow and District Kinsmen Club are setting off on, one of their most ambitious fund-raising projects to day. The weekend of July 13 - 14 will mark the first Lucknow Kinsmen Farm Show, to be held at the Lucknow, Sports- Complex. There will be 55 inside displays as well as up to 13 outside displays, covering all aspects of the agricultural industry. Lucknow has long been the farm machinery centre for northern Huron County and the south end of Bruce County, boasting four different -major dealerships, all located within one mile of the town. A number of the remaining businesses are directly involved in agriculture, and so the scene was set for this mammoth project of the Kinsmen. The doors are open to the public on Friday, July 13, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and again Satur- day, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Other features include Art Helm's pull tractor "Ghostbuster" on display and an antique toy tractor display. There will be door prizes and and free draws for the children for toy implements. Admission is $2.00 for adults and children under 12 free. The Lucknow and District ICinsmen Club has been active in this community in recent years and has recently finalized a $30,000 commitment to the com- pletion of the kitchen and meeting room area overlooking the arena floor of the complex. They are currently working with village council .and financing the Blue Box recycling program for the village. The club has committed to putting approximately $20,000 towards improvements and bet- terments at the Lucknow District Fire Hall in the fall of this year. Proceeds from the Farm Show will go to community betterment. Inside this week The 1990 Sou vevir Gradua tion Edition Bed closings predicted to save For the second year, Wingham and District Hospital will be clos- ing beds during the summer as a money -saving measure, according to Patient Services Director Bill Woodley. Initiated last year, the hospital realized considerable sav- ings from the closure of beds for the summer. The 90 -day closing of six pediatric beds will realize a cost money saving of about $36,300 in nursing salaries, plus small savings in other deparbnents, Mr. Woodley says. The •hospital saves the salaries of three registered nurses required to staff the pediatric beds. Since the hospital overall occupancy rate is usually lower in the summer, children brought to 'hospital can be accommodated in beds usually designated for adult patients, he added.

Hot hay can bring disastrous results Weather conditions throughout the month of June have not been favourable for curing hay. As the month progressed many farmers were anxious to get hay in the barn without being rained on. But was it dry enough? Farmers should be aware that wet or dry haylage can ignite due to spon- taneous combustion anytime dur- ing the first month or even longer after harvest. Usually the first indication is that unmistakable smell of hot hay and maybe steam rising from the mow or silo. Make sure you visit the storage are every day. The following guidelines indicate the danger levels as the temperature rises: 65 degrees C (150F) Entering the danger zone. Make temperature observations daily 70 degrees C (160F) Danger! In- spect every four hours to see if temperature is rising. 80 degrees C (175F) Fire pockets Turn topage3
