In 1963 Huron County, along
with every other county in the
province, commenced a detail-.
ed study of its county road sys-
tem which, among other things:,
,a) Classified every county road
by type and use. (b) Determin-
ed the roads which should form
part of the county road system.
.,e) Determined the 5- year fin-
ancial requirements of this sys-
tem to bring it up to a reason-
able standard. (d) Resulted in a
financial arrangement with the
Ontario Department of High-
ways by which the defined con-
struction and maintenance
needs of the rbad system would
met.
The study was completed in
1965 and approved by county
council in 1965 and 1960, The
approval by council includedre-
visions to the county road sys-
tem which meant that some 4'7
miles of roads in the system
which did not meet the require-
ments for a county road were
removed from the county sys-
tem to become the responsibil-
ity of the local municipality in
which they are located.
The county agreed to bring
every mile of road reverted to
a local municipality up to the
acceptable standard for local
roads in this area at no cost to
the municipality involved. The
Bounty also agreed to make a
cash payment to every munici-
pality having roads reverted to
it. This cash payment repre-
sented the municipality's share
of the cost of maintenance on
the road for the next 5 years.
When these monies are spent by
the municipalities on their
road system they will qualify
for the usual subsidy from the
Department of Highways as pro-
vided in the Highway Improve-
ment Act. The amount paid to
each municipality involved,
plus the D. H, subsidy, is as
follows:

One of the joys of a farmer
is the rural mail delivery. Here
in the Cloverdale district, the
service is excellent. The pos-
tie times his delivery with just
enough variety to make the ar-
rival of the mail exciting. We
start watching for him about
9.30 a.m. He sometimes ar-
rives a few minutes early,
sometimes a few minutes late;
but he invariably gets here, and
these days he brings us a won-
derful assortment of mail.
Since we moved to Green-
horn Farm and I started writing
about it in the column, I've
had letters from farmers, and
from city men who dream of
doing the same thing I did:
pack up the brief case and hit
for the hills. They want to
know how much money it takes
to get started, how much you
need to feel secure. They
want to know if it's as much fun
as you dreamed it would be, or
do you get bored? I try to an-
swer them as honestly as I can;
but after a couple of months of
farming, I'm still a bit too
starry-eyed to talk about it ra-
tionally.
How much money does it
take'? More than we've got! I
sometimes wish I had worked
another year or two and ac-
cumulated more capital; but
every sun-shiny morning that
gloomy thought evaporates and
I thank the good Lord I'm not
cooped up in an office, slug-
ging it out over a hot typewrit-
er. I've got callouses on my
palms now instead of my finger
tips.
It is now half past nine in
the morning and I must go out
and check the mail box. If the
mail has arrived, it will be at
right angles to the road; if not,
it will be parallel. Not only
does our postie deliver mail to
us, but he picks up our letters
to go out, and I want to get
this column in the mail.
And perhaps there'll be more
letters this morning telling us
how to rid the farm of moles!
Pretty soon I am going to be
able to boast that I am the best-
informed mole man in the Fra-
ser Valley, and the least suc-
cessful at getting rid of the
darn things!
The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart,
Minister of Agriculture and Food
for Ontario, has announced the
Crop Insurance Act which was
passed at the last session of the
Ontario Legislature, has been
proclaimed, effective Septem-
ber 22nd.
Mr. Stewart simultaneously
announced the personnel of the
new Crop Insurance Commis-
sion as follows: Chairman, K.E.
Lantz, Assistant Deputy Minis-
ter of Agriculture and Food;
vice-chairman, W. W. Snow,
Director Soils and Crops Branch,
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture and Food; R. e. McNeil,
M. P. P. for Elgin, It. R. 2
Springfield, a graduate of 0. A,
C. and a prominent beef and
corn farmer; Wilfred Roy of
Paincourt, a prominent Kent
County cash crop farmer and an
elite registered seed grower,
who specializes in the growing
of tomatoes, seed corn, pro-
cessing peas, and burley tobac-
co; and Peter McKinnon of R, R.
2 Bath, who farms in Lennox
and Addington County, and who
is Chairman of the Ontario
Wheat Producers Marketing
Board.
Reiterating plans to make
crop insurance available this
fall for the insuring of the win-
ter wheat crop, the Hon. Mr.
Stewart said the Commission
will proceed to bring as many
crops as possible under the plan
as quickly as they can. Agents
to sell the Crop Insurance are
being appointed immediately.
R. D. Blackbi ire is general
Ashfield, $17,413,24; Col-
borne, $9.161..80; Goderieh,
$7,278.60; flay, $17,633.90 ;

smith, $10,449.50; Turnberry,
$4,812.96; W. Wawanosh, $4,-

As noted above, this amount
represents the total cost of
maintenance on the roads re-
verted for the next 5 years. The
reversion, therefore, does not
place a financial burden on any
municipality.
In keeping with a policy an-
nounced by the Honourable C.S.
MacNaughton, Minister of
Highways, the County of Huron
has been reimbursed in full for
its share of the payments listed
above. This means that main-
tenance costs for 5 years on
these reverted roads is paid ful-
ly by the Department of High-
ways at no cost to the property
owner in Huron County.

Fall pasture does not possess the high food value of
Spring pasture. Therefore, to maintain an optimum
level of milk production this forage must be sup-
plemented. By switching your herd to the CO-OP
Winter Feeding Program now you will provide all
the additional nutrients needed to prevent a Fall
milk production slump. BELGRAYE WINGHAM 357.2n1
