When you make a mistake you try to be as quiet as possible
and hope nobody will notice.
Well, The Rural Voice published a picture of grapes upside
down in the last issue. Have you ever seen grape clusters growing
up? Someone said they thought it was a new kind of grape •• one
that would be sweeter and make better wine. Most people didn't
notice. Did you?
Two new columns for this month, "Striking Back" written by a
Colborne township farmer with the unlikely name of Detonator
Dan. Initially, he wanted to give you some information on an
Agricultre Commission Report published in 1881, to give you
some insights into a very interesting period of agricultural
history in this area.
Tom Maplewood, another pseudonym is a humorous writer
from Perth county. his column "Over the Back Fence" starts with
this issue.
Optimism for '83. Where's the farming industry heading in
1983? What do you think? We asked a number or prominent
people in the industry what they thought.
Also in this issue, writer Allice Gibb has a feature on Charles
Baldwin, from Ridgetown. an acknowledged expert on soil
erosion.
Susan Braley, a teaching master at Fanshawe Colege looks at
the disappearance of the cheddar cheese industry and The Leslie
Cheese House. Stratford supplied pictures illustrating steps in
the production of cheddar cheese.
Lots of meetings and faces and places in this issue -- OFA con-
vention. CFFO comvention and annuals from different farm
groups.
Country Calendar features an array of events in the four
counties of Huron, Perth. Grey and Bruce - lots of courses and in-
formation for the winter months. Keep warm.
