Huron county ag rep Don Pullen's optimism was justified. The rain stopped and the sun began to shine the day after his latest interview with this paper. John Heard, farm manage- ment specialist in the Clinton OMAF office, believes 99 per- cent of the corn is now in, and some replanting was done. The corn has "greened up" in the past week, and is now growing well. Heard estimates that soy- bean acreage is up 15 to 20 percent this year. During the first two weeks of June, farmers . had to decide whether to try for a 60 to 70 percent corn yield, or plant beans. Soybean acreage has been climbing steadily in the county for the past few years. After last year's depressed price for white beans, acreage for that crop was ex- pected to decrease this year. However, many growers • unable to plant all the corn they had counted on switched to white beans. Planting will be slightly lower than last year, but not by as much as initially predicted. • Heard predicts a fair to average spring grain crop. He has seen some patchy, poor stands in low spots. Some producers concerned about yellow colour have asked if - they should add more nitrogen, but have been advis- ed that more than 40 to 50 pounds per acre makes the corn look green while it is • growing, but contributes to lodging problems at harvest time. The soil -born spindle streak virus, a legacy of the 'cold wet spring, has hit about one-third of Huron's winter wheat. Though this can cause a five percent yield reduction, there is still more winter wheat SS anniversary at Thames Road By MRS, WILLIAM ROHDE Many people from this com- munity called at the Hopper Hockey Funeral Home, Ex- eter last week and also at- tended the funeral of the late Dennis Passmore, Wednes- day.
