Goodwin your telephone manager The thunder roared, the lightning flashed, The whole earth was shaken; The little pig tucked down his head, And ran to save his bacon. So maybe the rain IS coming down in sheets. Light- ning flashing. Thunder booming. Pigs running all over the place. No matter how wretched the weather, you can keep right on using your telephone. To assure storm -proof dependability, most telephone cables are filled with pressurized dry air. If a cable springs a lead, the force of the escaping dry air holds out moisture and keeps phones working. An alarm automati- cally tells repairmen the location of the break, and the leak is usually repaired before trouble develops. So go ahead and use your phone when the sky opens up and the rain comes •clown! (And have YOUR bacon delivered). THOSE SCRIBBLINGS you make during a phone call can tell something about you, according to psychologists. If you doodle animals or birds, you are affectionate and understanding, they say. Arrows mean your goals are high. Checkerboards and squares show logic and emo- tional stability, while boats indicate energy and a wish for freedom. Flowers and trees show loneliness, circles give away a daydreamer. Artwork aside, we know of one sure indication of a person who looks to the future and plans accordingly. He keeps a personal list of frequently -called telephone numbers. * An excited woman called police to report an auto accident. Asked where it happened, she said, "I don't have time to talk now. I'll tell you when you get here." Then she hung up! Sound funny to you? Does to us too, but things like this DO happen! If you ever have to make an emergency call, maybe this little story will help you remember to stay on the line until you've given all the details.

Must Be Born By May 9th For Gilt Project BELGRAVE -The Huron County Senior 4-H Swine Club held its organizational meeting in Londesboro hall on Thursday. About 25 members are regis- tered. The officers are: Presi- dent Joe Jeffery, R. R. 5, Wing - ham; vice-president, Jim Pap- ple, Seaforth; secretary, Tom Riley, Londesboro; press repor- ter, George Townsend, R. R. 3, Seaforth; It was decided to hold meet- ings on the fourth Monday of the month. Pigs from this year's sow must be born before May9 to be eligible for the club and must be registered by June 1st, and one pig is to be in the sale. A film on better care of pigs was shown, Don Pullen and Lloyd Stewart spoke briefly and Alfred Warner distributed the money for the sale of the gilts. Doug Miles, agricultural repre- sentative for r-ruron, explained the rules and regulations of the club. Huron Farmer is Chairman of Marketing Bd. R.T. Bolton, R.R. 1, Sea- forth, was elected chairman of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board at the board's inaugural Eneetina held in To- ronto on Friday. The newly el- ected chairman, who farms about 200 acres in l luron County and who has been a director of the marketing board since its establishment in 1958, succeeds A. R. Coulter of R. R. 3, Camp- bellville. Mr. Coulter continues as past chairman uu the board's five -man execimve committee. Others elected to the executive were Peter Iv[acKinrrou of [lath; James O'Shea, t.ranton and M. R. McDougall, Blenheim. In a position of purchase and sales report also announced by the board, it was revealed that to date the board ;las bought 3,127,865 bushels of surplus wheat since harvest time last fall. Of the total wheat Nought, 2,340,584 bushels have been sold on the export market by the board. Of the balance of about 700, 000 bushels, which is lo- cated at Sarnia, Toronto, King- ston and Montreal, all but 100, 000 bushels !rave been sold for export shipment in the near future. Stocks outside of Mon- treal area being moved into • terminals there as navigation gets underway. The board did not release statistics on process and overseas markets which have recently purchased wheat, but did state that there has been considerable interest overseas in recent weeks. The board's 1963 crop pur- chases are nearing the record volume of 3, 592, 0110 bushels handled by the hoard in 1958, the first year of as operation. Kinds of Bacon When is Canadian bacon not Canadian bacon? When is it Canadian -style bacon. American tourists travelling in Canada, are often disap- poin ted when ordering "Canadi- ian bacon in a restaurant. They expect to be served hack bacon (called Canadian -style bacon in the U.S.) but instead they receive side bacon, not realiz- ing that this is the popular breakfast bacon of Canadians. The reason for the confusion is this. Bacon comes from the middle section of a hog, and the usual procedure is to split this section length -wise into two parts, the loin (back) and the belly (underpart). Loins are us- ually sold fresh as pork chops and loin roasts. Bellies are not sold fresh, but are cured and smoked to become side bacon. The demand for pork chops is not as High in Canada as in the U.S. As a result, more Cu- nadian loin cuts end up as back bacon than pork chops. When hack baconis produced in a similar way in the U.S. ,it is quite often sold as "Canadi- an -style" bacon. There are some differences between the two products, however. The American back bacon ("Cana- dian -style") usually has less lean, more fat, and a different BONDI'S FRUIT MARKET IT'S PINEAPPLE TIME AGAIN — LARGE JUMBO PINEAPPLES ARE FEATURED FOR A WEEK -END TREAT.

This is due mainly to basic differences in U.S. and Canadianswine breeds, although in recent years U.S. producers have made great strides in raising higher quality, leaner hogs. True Canadian back bacon is a highly sought-after product bought as a luxury item American consumers when they can get it. It should not be confused with Canadian -style. bacon produced in the U.S. The third kind of bacon isside bacon (breakfast bacon), the long slices which are produced in both countries. Check Variety On Seed Tag The old saying that there is a lot in a name proves its worth when it comes to buying seed, The vaiiety name on a certified seed tag assures the farmer that the seed will perform according to the characteristics of the variety. It will ensure that the germination is not less than that required by the grade and that there is a high standard of puri- ty, Officials of the Soils and Crops Branch of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture say seed born diseases and root rot must be controlled or the bene- fits of high germination can be lost. This control is largely assured by the effective use of seed dressing. VARIETY To use an extreme example, there's a big difference between the performance of DuPuits al- falfa and Vernal Alfalfa. Most livestock farmers need both, but they can only be assured of the variety if the seed is sealed with a certified tag. Variety is no less important in cereals than in forage crops. Purity of variety can only be as- sured by insisting on pedigreed seed. WEED SEED CONTENT Modern science has not yet developed to the point where chemical weed control can compensate for weed seeds re- turned to the land at each seeding. Seedgrades establish standards for weed seed content and the buyer of f=1 grades is as- sured of freedom from Primary noxious weed seeds and mini- mum content of other weeds. For low cost crop insurance, use recommended varieties; use seed with high germination, low weed seed content; use properly treated seed. EIGHT -SIDED EQUALITY In Great Britain, the phase "from John O'Groat's to Land's End" has long been used to re- fer to the entire length of the island. John O'Groat's House is a spot on the northern coast of Scotland and the site is said to have been occupied once by an octagonal house erected for annual meetings of the descen- dants of John de Groot, a Dutch- man who settled in Scotland during the reign of James IV. One explanation for the eight -sided house is that de Groot's descendants were thus able to enter by Itis own door and also to sit at the head of the table, which was also oc- tagonal. [fence, no one had precedence. Check Nutrient Value Whei Buying Fertilizer It has hen said that only a rich farmer can afford to use fertilizer, without taking a soil test. Farmers who hope to make a profit must apply the right type of fertilizer properly. The first step in this direction is soil testing to determine how much nitrogen, phosphorus and potash to apply. It doesn't pay to spread just any fertilizer over the soil .ind hope for re- sults. The cost ;If different fer- tilizers is also important says Professor T. F. Bates, Soil Science Department , O. A. t;. , Guelph. Fertilizers should he coinpar4 J h} price per pound of nutrient rather than on a price per ton of material basis. For instance, the cost of a •1 'i nitrogc n (N), 24'}5 phos- phorus (P), 'oil;' potash (K) fer- tilizer could he $90.00 a ton, and a `2-1:-1' mixture (half the nutrient ealue of 4-24-20) could cost a. ,00. Twice as ntucli of tire latter is needed to get the an results as given by .1-24-20 and involve twice as much handliu..: and storage. In cases like ties where a higher nutrient value is needed, it pays to get a higher analysis fertilizer raft, r than apply a low analesrs n:t\ture, in great - er amounts. Because there are many nitrogen ieitulizers at different prices, the price per pound of nutrient is of particular import- ance when buying them. An- hydrous Ammonia contains 82°,' N and costs about $150.00 a ton. To find it's cost perpound of nutrient divide the cost per ton, (150) by the number of pounds of N that are found in a ton of the fertilizer. There are 1,040 pounds of N in a ton of Anhydrous (82°,0 of 000) so the cost is 0.50 a pound. This same procedure can he used on other nitrogen fer- tilizers to determine what fer- tilizer to buy. Further inforntationregard- ing soil testing and fertilizer value is available from local Agricultural Offices in each comm. MASS PRODUCTION PIONEERING James Watt in\ented the first standardized interchange- able machine parts in the secs and half of the century. The earliest machine tools date from about 17?l', lie' l•rm, rhaelilnc tools capable of con- siderable accuracy were in gen- eral use in England and the U.S.A. The first qu.uttity pro- duction of interchangeable parts is cu dated to P1i Whitney, in the arms factory he establish- ed at New I faven, t:0111. , in 17:1S, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, April lf:, 1964 -- Page 3 Interesting Result Shown In Feed Test The saying "he eats like a hog' is a well used cliche that doesn't mean much, now that some hogs are on limited feed. An experiment using a feed- ing device constructed by the Engineering Science Depart- ment at the O. A, CA , Guelph, showed that limited feeding of swine reduced daily gains and carcass back fat but improved carcass length and loin eye size, says J. G. Norrish, of the, Animal t•[usbandry Department. The feeder used consisted of an auger -cup arrangement that simultaneously dropped a lim- ited amount of feed to each pig in the pen. Stalls prevented fast eaters from consuming more than their share of feed. One lot of pigs were fed a limited amount of high protein ration and another was "full fed" the same feed. The "full fed" pigs had a slightly better dressing percentage than the "limit fed" lot but there was no difference in the efficiency of gain between the two. Another noted difference was was in carcass quality. Gilts produced superior carcasses to harrows in both lots but there was a greater degrce of carcass improvement in the harrows on limited feeding. This suggests that pigs should be sorted for feeding, says Norrish. The gilt groups can he "full fed" and the barrows "limit fed". Severe limited feeding is not recommended as this can cause too great a depression in daily gains and stunt the growth of the pigs. Further information on lim- ited feeding of swine can be ol..- tained from county offices of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture. ,Ifyesu iMPRESSED MY MOTHER.
