Huron County ag rep Don Pullen said many farmers had experienced delays due to "greasy" field conditions during harvest He said he had seen a lot of farm equipment stuck in mud and added that the wet conditions were harder on farm vehicles and that con- ditions are worse for ac- cidents too. The snowfall of October 23 Pullen said. got a lot of peo- ple worried and thinking "the next day is the last". As a result, farmers push- ed ahead on their fall chores and this head start has put them hack on schedule. The clay -loam soils of Huron are generally more productive if plowed in the tall. Pullen noted. Fall plow- ing gives farriers a head start on spring work and the ag rep noted fall was a good time to apply phosphorous ptexiateeat Be Calm In Our Soul was the anthem sung by the Huronview choir on Sunday morning. tfymn Sing was held on Sunday evening.

"People will be able to look forward to the winter with a little more piece of mind." Pullen said of fall chores completed. Discounting a difficult fall harvest and current low commodity prices, Pullen said 1981 was generally an excellent year'. Earlier in the year spring and winter wheat yields were very favourable and of good quality. Pullen said, noting the price was good too. Corn yields are a bright spot for the year the ag rep said. Last year corn yields were about 87 bushels per acre and he expects yields to be up by about 15 bushels this year. But yield 'Nardly compen- sates for the drop in price, Pullen said. A lot of the corn came off the fields at higher than normal moisture con- tent. adding costs of energy to dry the crop. Huron County has about 220.000 acres of grain corn planted and Pullen said, combined with silage corn acreage. the county is the leading corn producer in On- tario. It was a good thing he said. corn yields were up to help cover the extra costs of high interest and high input. Though he mentioned no specific cases. the ag rep said Huron was not unique in rs BINGO LUCAN ARENA WednesdayNoV. 25 Doors open - 7:15 p.m. Early bird - 7:55 p.m. ODE 550 8 AO Regular games, Midway special, share the wealth, stand up, etc. JuckpOt 5900. - 55 calls Proceeds for Arena Double Door Card $1.00 Bingos will continue each Wednesday night. licence # 28721 1 Proceeds for Arena ROM W11 t I4 -\F\ I Rt ,l •l t"l 1. ,\...

The problems with high interest affects the whole country he said. Because of the high input costs and high interest rates, coupled with low commodity prices, Pullen noted con- ditions are very difficult for young. farmers. Huron though, has alter- natives in crops and is not locked in to livestock production like some of On- tario's eastern counties Pullen said. Crops like winter wheat have better performance r performer e and prices Pullen noted, but he felt problems were not over as economic con- ditions can easily catch up with Huron farmers. Granaries and storages are "pretty full" Pullen said and some who can afford to store their corn may be holding it until market prices improve. Pullen mentioned that the Soviets had had a bad year in agriculture and this may open up some off -shore markets and increase demands forCanadiancrops. The 1981 harvest season was probably the worst fall since 1926 said Perth county associate' ag rep Art Law- son. Perth received double the average rainfall during the months of August, September and October, Lawson said. Some areas reported up to three times the normal rainfall amount. Lawson said crops were looking good before the rain started and reduced them to average or below average yields. Yields ranged from good to complete disasters Lawson said. A lot more corn stalk and root -rot was Seen this year, but the "majority of farmers grow hybrids that stand up" Lawson noted. "Farmers have adapted over the years to adversity," Lawson said, adding that most serious farmers have tile drainage to lessen the effects of heavy rainfall. Most of the corn is off now. and farmers have taken advantage of recent good weather to get fall plowing done Lawson said. about coming through as well as they did." the ag rep added. Lawson suggested farmers keep a close eye on the price of land rentals.

With already high interest rates and high input costs, Lawson said farmers' main concerns should be both the price of things they're buy- ing and the prices they receive when selling com- modities. • Lawson advised farmers to "keep a grip on their purse strings." Versatility helped Middlesex county fight high interest rates and low prices paid. Ag rep Sandy Forsyth said Middlesex was "about the most diversified county in Ontario". Farmers could supplement their crops with livestock and vice -versa, Forsyth th said, noting a Middlesex beef man may have a fair size bean crop too. Dear Editor: On Wednesday, November 25. the Huron County Unit of the Multiple Sclerosis Socie- ty will hold a general meeting at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. This unit was formed only last year. and while the in- itial meeting was well attended. subsequent meetings failed to attract any interest. The Huron County unit is struggling. It has kept alive only through the efforts of four people in Wingham, and now they are wondering if the effort has been worth it. If the upcoming general meeting fails to draw people willing to work and make the unit a true 'Huron County Unit'. it will fold. MS is an unusual, debilitating disease. The cause has not been pin- pointed. hence there is no cure. Yet its effects are well documented ranging from the mildest form with no im- pairment to the most severe requiring institutional care. In this the International Year of Disabled Persons, it shouldn't be too much to ask that people be willing to help their neighbour.

Diversification has "helped farmers weather the (high interest) storm better - but that doesn't an to indicate the storm over," Forsyth said. The year was "a little backward" overall, Forsyth said, noting weather affected white bean quality, but soy and white bean yields were good. Corn was not a bumper crop Forsyth said, but was average in yield. With 235,- 000 acres planted, corn is Middlesex's main crop. Forsyth noted farmers are hoping the corn prices will strengthen. The lower corn prices, down from last year relates to crop conditions across North America, Forsyth said. "Nature usually has a way of balancing things out," the ag rep said referring to im- proved November weather. This has allowed Middlesex farmers to finish up fall plowing and any remaining harvest of corn and soy beans. Forsyth said he would like to see a little more open weather yet.
