The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-04-13, Page 18OVER TWO HUNDRED and fifty hours of tedious work went into this beautiful Centennial quilt, made by the ladies of Unit 3 of the Gorrie United Church. Seen with the quilt are Mrs. Clifford Pyke, Mrs. Bill Thornton and Mrs. Russell Adams, all of Howick Township. The in- tricate art work in the provincial crests was performed by Mrs. Wilfred Gregory. The quilt was displayed at the Howick Central School recently during the open house held by the night school classes. -Advance-Times Photo. 1966 BUICK LeSabre Sedan, power steering, brakes, windows, seats, etc. E83046 $3395 1963 ACADIAN Invader Sedan, six, stick, 20,000 miles E85525-$1195 1964 PONTIAC Strato Chief Sedan, six, stick, with radio E84861-$1550 1958 CHEVROLET Brookwood Stationwagan, V8, automatic, real decent 95021X-$ 350 1966 PONTIAC Strato Chief Coach, 6, automatic, power brakes E85266-$2395 1964 PONTIAC Strata Chief Sedan, six cylinder, radio, discs E84240-$1550 1965 PONTIAC Strata Chief 4-Door, automatic, low mileage E85269-$1925 1962 CHEVROLET Impala 2-Door Hardtop, V8, auto- matic, radio, etc, ... .

Advontoges of everbeoring straw., erries W. D, EVANS, 0,A,C., University of Guelph verbearing strawberries are not truly everbearing. They do, however, bear two crops in a year. For this reason alone they have a place in the home gar- den. While neither the June crop nor the fall crop is as heavy as the crop produced by June- bearing varieties, the total yield may be as high or higher. Regardless of the yield obtain- ed, the luxury of having off- season strawberries is worth con- sidering. Many everbeating varieties produce their fall crop too late for Ontario conditions, and some of the varieties do not bear a fall crop every year, The only variety which has consist- ently produced a good crop at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege is Ozark Beauty. This variety, which has fruit of good size and excellent quality, is highly recommended. Everbearing strawberries, be- cause they fruit twice in one year, have different require- ments than other strawberries, They do not runner freely and therefore should be planted closer together. This sparse- runnering character makes it easier to maintain the planting for a number of years as it does not become overcrowded, • There are two important practices which should be fol- lowed to ensure success with these strawberries. First, blos- soms should be removed up un- til mid-July of the year of plant- ing. This practice permits the plants to become well establish- ed. Secondly, in late October each year the planting should be covered with three to four inches of clean straw or non- matting garden refuse to reduce the risk of winter injury. Plants may be grown in beds four plants wide, with one foot between plants in each direc- tion. A yield of one quart per square foot may be obtained un- der optimum conditions. $15, 000, 10%; from $5, 000 to $10, 000, 26%; from $1, 200 to $5, 000, 53%. All businessmen realize that out of total sales the farmer must pay his costs of production and his debt retirement, and what he has left over is what is available for family living.Just looking at the figures in the ta- ble suggests that many do not have much farm income to live on and must surely now depend somewhat on "off-the-farm" earnings. PARITY INCOME: Parity is defined as a situa- tion where the farmer would re- ceive 5% return on his produc- tive assets, $1. 25 per hour for hired labor, and $2.32 per hour for operator and family labor.) A U.S. farm income study updated to 1963 reports that the average farmer with sales of $20, 000 or over needed a 2% increase in his gross income to achieve "parity"; the average farm in the $10, 000 to $20, 000 gross income group would need a 10% increase; the average farm in the $5, 000 to $10, 000 gross income group would need a 34% increase and the average farm with less than $5, 000 gross would need a 129% increase in sales to achieve "parity". In view of the tremendous increases needed in gross farm incomes for many operators to achieve a "parity" situation it is probably that many wisely will seek another alternative. In many parts of Ontario it is easy to get a 5% return or more on the investment in land - all you have to do is rent it! This makes you a landlord. The other problem is to get a satis- factory return for your labor and this isn't a problem in Ontario now either if you are prepared to work. And even if you are not trained for other kinds of employment, there now are training programs where you will be paid to go to school to learn a skill which will make you eligible for gainful employ- ment. Take a look at this alterna- tive. It could be the best an- swer to your problem and also be an answer to your neighbor's problem by letting him increase his income by operating your land. You might even contin- ue to live in your own farm home. Don't you agree that be- ing an employed landlord with a country residence is much more attractive than being a low income farmer? Carthibalism is causingtnere trouble each year to poultry farmers. While it is probably the result of a combination of feeding, breeding, and manage- ment, heredity is another con- tributing factor. All of these problems are discussed in the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture's Publication 521, Ontatio Laying Flock Management, available at your county agri- cultural representative's office. page Winghani Advance-"Elates, - Thursday, Apr1110 Fair Board banquet GORRIE-William Wilson, president of the Howick Agri- cultural Fair Board welcomed the 60 guests to the banquet held Tuesday evening in Gorrie United Church, The South Unit catered for the hot turkey din- ner and the president expressed appreciation to the ladies.

Farm Management Specialist Ever think of being a land- lord as well as running your farm? Well not likely if you are a typical Ontario farm op- erator, but perhaps you should. As a manager of your own af- fairs you might find that being a landlord, coupled with some additional labor income, would provide you with a greater net income than you could ever hope to generate alone by run- ning your farm. Farm operators in Ontario, like others in many parts of the world have been be-set with a low income problem. The 1961 census indicates the extent of this problem on the basis of the value of products sold from the 90,345 "commercial" farms in Ontario. (A commercial farm is defined as one which pro- duces over $1, 200 in product.) $25, 000 and over, 5% of com- mercial farms; from $15, 000 to $25, 000, 6%; from $10,000 to Chemical grass control in the orchard. liew many tunes have you spent a hot summer day in. the apple orchard swinging a scythe at those miserable weeds and the tall grass near the trunk and wishing that there was an easier way to keep the orchard tidyl Well, there is, and it is sirn•- ple, quick and cheap, Paraquat (trade name ."Qragnmcone")has been used successfully on. ex,. perimental plots for about ten years And in commercial omit.. ards for about ltctif as long, Mix 1 ounces of The product in each gallon of water and spray only enough of the mixture on the weeds and grass to wet the leaves. Better results arc MO, ly obtained if the application is made on a dull or cloudy day, or during the evening.
