we suggest you have it done now. Don't wait until
everyone else decides to have their farm machinery re-

Club Members to
Receive Gilts
This year's 4-H Swine Club
program got under way last
Thursday, in the Londesboro
Hall. Each township Hog Pro-
ducer director in Huron County
was in charge of three first year
4-11 swine club members. The
project is similar to last year.
In May members will he giv-
en a pair of weanling gilts from
R. 0.P. P. stock of their breed
choice and will keep records of
cost of production. Members
will return one of the pair to a
bred gilt sale next spring. Pro-
ceeds from the sale of this gilt
will be used to defray cost of
the pair and the balani:e of the
monies will :o to the club mem-
ber. It is hoped that in the long
range this project will increase
the percentage of Grade A hogs
marketed hy producers in the
County of Iluron.
SECOND YEAR PROJECT
All 1:16;i swine Club mem-
bers who completed their pro-
jects may participate in the
second year swine club projects

Your neighbours profit from using
ATRAZINE*
Shouldn't You?
"We now harvest more corn
with less time in the fields!

says Elmer McFaul, Townline Farms, Hillier, Ontario
"Spraying with Atrazine is a regular part of our corn manage-
ment," Mr. McFaul says, "This year we sprayed over 200
acres. Since using Atrazine we have harvested bigger crops
with less labour."
Atrazine treatment is normal routine with successful corn
growers. Your neighbours, who have used Atrazine, will tell
you they wouldn't grow corn without it.
One application of Atrazine controls weeds all season long
including those in the rows which can't be reached by cultiva-
tion. Start using Atrazine this year ... discover how profitable
corn production can be.
Ask your farm supply dealer for an instructional leaflet on the
new, more concentrated formula, Atrazine 65W. Place your
order now and get your sprayer ready on time.
