Iasi Robertson of Goder- IA, spent Saturday in Owen Sound, GODERICH—Most Huron County farmers have had a rel- atively good year but with a great deal of difficulty. Doug- las H. Miles, agricultural rep- resentative, told members of Huron County Council at their session in Goderich last week. Those in Usborne and Stephen Townships were hit heavily with too much rain. Mr. Miles estimated the white bean crop as only 60 per cent of normal which compares with the yield in Michigan. Average crop is usually about 1,400 pounds to the acre, but this has shrunk to about 1,000 pounds this year. However, selling price is away above last year's. Corn is a bright spot. "I don't think Huron County has enjoyed such a good corn crop since I came here ten years ago," Mr. Miles declared. " Grain corn is above average." He observed that hay has been about average, and oats, barley and wheat about 15 per- cent off. "Huron County has not been hurt in the overall average of crops, but the farmers have had a tremendous amount of diffi- culty," he said. Mr. Miles reported on his three months' trip to the British Isles with the international ex- change of junior farmers, when the members of the Canadian party lived in farm homes and met farm people. "We learned things that money could not buy," he stat- ed. "People are the same the world over; they are concerned about farm prices just as you are," England spends 50 per cent of its dollar on food; Can- ada, 29 per cent. "We in Huron County, On- tario and Canada, have much to be proud of," he declared. Farm immigrants to whom he had talked were coming to Canada because there were not so many regulations here, and he felt that if Canada can keep away from rules and regulations it would be better for us. Wroxeter Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Mason and family, Mr. and Mrs. Rick Wilkins and Shelley and Mr. James Wheeler all of Sarnia, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Taylor and family of Wingham and Miss Betty Wheeler of Gorrie, visited over the week-end with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Art Wheeler.

Weir recently. Exchange trip to Australia open to Huron Jr. Farmers The Huron County Junior Farmers met in the agricultural board rooms at Clinton with Murray Hoover in charge. Mur- ray reported that the advertis- ing for the Huron County Re- view is slow coming in, and that the books will go on sale the first part of NoVember. There will be a banquet at the Seaforth Legion on Novem- ber 25 where there will be a draw for money. Profit from . this will go to the World Liter- acy of Canada Fund. Doug Miles will show slides from a trip he had overseas. Any Junior interested in pub- lic speaking or the music comp- etition should notify his presi- dent before December 4. The Seaforth Junior Farmers won the turkey for having the best corn at Seaforth Fair and North Huron won a ham for the best hay class.
