Bruce resolution
on double labeling
on farm chemicals
Bruce County Federation of Agriculture, in conjunction with
the Grey County Federation of Agriculture has opened their own
office in Hanover. The office is open five days a week from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. Our new girl staffing the office is Cathy Raeburn.
Cathy will be marrying a dairy farmer in the next few months and
knows farming. She should be a great asset to our organization.
Murray Crich and his wife have agreed to run next spring's
folk school. We wish them every success in their effort.
Bruce county will be sending a resolution to the OFA directors'
meeting in Toronto next month, requesting double label ing on
farm chemicals during conversion to metric. The directors feel
that there is much risk to people and property due to
misunderstanding of the metric system.
The county was one member short of maintaining 1978's
membership at 1224 and missed out on OFA's rebate. A
concentrated drive to maintain membership is required.
Glen Sawyer reporting on the Porter Commission hearings
stated that OFA was reasonably happy with the results. Glen
agreed to remain active as a hydro representative. Any Bruce
County member having problems of any kind with hydro are
urged to contact Glen Sawyer, R.R. 2, Paisley.
Our insurance committee is meeting with OFA executive to
review the new health insurance plan. A report on this plan will
be in our next month's report.

HOW IT WORKS:
20" disc. blades, mounted on individual pivots, are
rotated by hydraulic motors to cut bean plants off
below ground surface. Each pivot -mounted section
rests on two depth wheels. Two or three windrows
are produced, depending on the number of blades.
The Smyth Bean Cutter can be mounted on the front
or on the rear of a tractor. This compact machine is
not bothered by mud or trash.
Canada's first rotary bean cutter is a product of the
George Smyth Welding and Machine Shop.
