T -A photo It's unbelievable White bean prices hit .$54' While area yields for white beans were cut drastically by wet weather, and some farmers had to plow entire fields down, those who did manage to get some off will apparently be receiving record prices. Bob Readings of the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board in- dicated this week that beans are sell- ing in the $54 per hundredweight range and at one point reached $59.60. "It's unbelievable," Readings commented. "Before the rains we had expected to harvest two million hundredweight bags, but after last week we were able to harvest only 830,000 bags," Readings said. Even that is a lot more than anticipated at one time. Readings doesn't expect many more beans to be harvestable. Many beans had to be culled because they had sprouted in the damp, warm September -October weather, The quality of the remainder isn't as high because the beans are off color, Readings said. "The quality obviously is not good, but it isn't bad. It's usuable." Canners, faced with the shortfall threat, bid record prices for Ontario beans when the board beganselling last week, after a month and a half of withdrawal from the marketplace. "The Michigan boys are in worse shape than us, I think, and they're los- ing more beans than our boys," Readings said. Michigan farmers have harvested only about 1.2 million hundredweight bags, which is far shy. of the nearly 4.5 million bags an- ticipated before the rains. Last week's dry, balmy weather also broke the way for the province's other two major crops - soybeans and corn - to get back on track with harvesting, said crop specialist John Schleihauf of the Ontario agriculture ministry in Guelph. White beans were the most crucial crop to harvest - that's because they are most vulnerable to inclement weather, followed by soybeans and Advance for soybean crop Soybean producers can apply for a Soybean Advance of $130/tonne. Anyone harvesting soybeans this fall can apply for the advance after the harvest is complete. Soybeans must be sold before August 31, 1987. The maximum amount that an individual producer can apply for is $30,000. For two partners or shareholders, the maximum is $60,000. Three or more partners or shareholders is $90,000. Application forms will be accepted from now until December 14, 1986. Ap- plication forms are available from the Ontario Soyabean Producers Marketing Board who administers the program. Their phone number in Chatham is 519-352-7730. Application forms are also available from the On- tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Clinton, 1-800-265-5170 or 482-3428.

Lambeth The Exeter Kinsmen Generals dropped a 7-3 decision to Lambeth in their only start this week in the midget division of the Shamrock hockey league. The Generals scored the only goals of the opening session as Jeff Dalrym- ple registered on an unassisted effort and Rob Taylor converted a pass from teve Watson. The final Exeter goal in the third periodica me from the stick of Shawn Moore with assists going to Jeff Kints and Bryan Quinn. corn, the province's largest single crAbout 80 percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, Schliehauf estimated, and 33 percent of the corn. "We're still behind in the harvest schedule," he said. The heavy clay soil of Essex County meant that the harvest of soybeans there was held up more than in other areas during the good weather last week. Because of the prolonged moisture, farmers encountered more mouldy soybeans than normal, Schleihauf said. For the salable remainder of the harvest, grades are running generally lower than in normal harvest years. "There is mould in corn as well but we don't know to what extent yet," he said, "but the corn is standing well in the fields because of the dry weather. The kernels are drying down well in the field. Yields are variable but the quality looks pretty good." Hockey clinic on the way Fundamentals in Action (FIA), the national hockey skills program, will be conducting a two-day clinic with former N.H.L. professionals pro- viding the instruction. The clinic to be held in Huron Park, at Stephen township arena on November 14-15. Persons interested in meeting former professionals or viewing the clinic are invited to drop in at the arena. For more information contact your Weal Canadian Tire or Pepsi bottler. The number of associations involv- ed in FIA last season reached 576, this season we plan to service approx- imately 600 communities throughout Canada. The program is run by FIA in cooperation with Canadian Tire and Pepsi-Cola and has gained na- tional recognition. FIA is a series of drills that were carefully prepared by sports educators and our 18 instructors, all former professionals. The challeng- ing and enjoyable drills emphasize. game -like conditions and permit players to improve all facets of their game by competing against the drill, not other youngsters. FIA growing yearly since it was founded by former Chicago Black Hawk all-star defenceman Pat Stapleton, is a program designed to help players, their coaches and parents get the most out of hockey. The goal of FIA is to provide con- sistency and continuity in skill development by maximizing the use of practice ice -time. Grand Bend Bible study There were 14 ladies out for Bible Study at Sauble Court last Tuesday morning. Doris Peebles opened with prayer, followed by a hymn sing. They began study of the chapter on the "Cheerful Heart", which will be discussed over the next few weeks. Doctors say that a cheerful heart is good medicine, and that people's at- titudes toward life affect their health. An anxious heart can weigh you down, causing you to miss out on a joyful life. Try not to let cir- cumstances determine your emo- tional state, but "rather give thanks in all things". St. Paul says you can change and train yourself to adopt a more cheerful attitude toward life, as an act of the will. The heart governs a person's mind, emotions and will, as the part that feels and decides. The lesson was led by Nita Sinclair, who also gave the closing prayer, and they held hands to pray for the sick and the shut-ins. •t am o • ssu: t; By MARY CHESSELI Students ofi Varna Sunday School are going to McClymont's apple or- chard on Sunday.
