HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-09-19, Page 15 (2)• Corn pack good, apples drop Less acres, more white beans While the acreage of Huron's white bean crop is down significantly the actual number of white beans in area elevators should be up, according to agricultural representative Don Pullen. Pullen said roughly 30,000 acres are in beans this year, down from the 60,000 acres of a year ago but that the dry weather has allowed far - triers to harvest between 70 and 80 percent of the crop, as of today. In terms of•yields, Pullen says he had reports of bet- ween 10 and 40 bushels per acre with the average yield in Huron running 18 bushels 'for the past couple of years. More farmers could be getting back into white beans next year if the "ideal weather" allows farmers to take the remaining beans off and if the price for the crop holds up. Prices are reported to be. around $30 per hundred weight mark. The crop which seems to have taken the fancy of Huron farmers, soybeans, has not been affected to any COOKIES FOR SALE — Members of the Kirkton Brownie group sponsored a booth at Saturday's Kirkton Fall Fair.

This sleeting will be hosted by St. Marys Agricultural Society and will be held in the United Church in St. Mirys on Wednesday, November 7. Harold Lobb, Clinton is president and Don Young. Auburn, is secretary - treasurer of District 8. Mrs. Margaret Coombes is home from University hospital and is getting along as well as can be expected. Mr. and Mrs. (tick Raveling, Britt spent the weekend with the formers mother Mrs. Edith Haigh. The regulation approved this week by county council under the provincial trees act provides a`judge with the authority to order an area replanted which has been cut, bulldozed or otherwise destroyed illegally. Fines of $100 to $500 (the previ9us maximum) have been levied after four con- victions under the former bylaw over the past 2'2 years, Baird said. Two land owners and two contractors were charged. New provincial legislation enables an officer to enter property at reasonable times for inspections, Baird said. The county bylaw blocks clearing of woodlots of two acres or more and smaller wooded areas until trees reach a certain size. Trees such as white pine, sugar, black. red and silver maples have to reach an 18 -inch diameter to be cut in an area under two acres, he. said. Baird said the bylaw does not interfere with the land owner cutting trees for his own use, but not for resale. There is provision for clearing of trees within 50 feet of buildings, on approval by council, he said. The regulations have been developed to preserve woodlots for environmental reasons, retaining water reyels and preventing soil erosion, he said.• Middlesex County has tree cover of between 12 <tpand._l.3ir ,r.1 ft:1 11/03, .:r> er cell; he.said, and l2 per Negligence is the } elp your eart'tund cent is considered the ingredient that transforms Help your Heart minimum for environmental these inanimate objects into balance. potential killers. great degree by the white mold. The 16,000 acres which are under cultivation should be ready for harvest in the next three weeks, he stated. The lack of rain while good for harvesting may have some effect on the overall yield of the soybean and corn crops in the county, Pullen said. The county corn crop is maturing slower than usual and as such, could _be severely affected if the area has what Pullen called •a "Killing frost". Already, areas around Hay swamp arid the Brussels-W.ingham . area have had light frost. Expressing optimism, Pullen stated that if the frost stays away, there should be a good yield. Fruits in the area generally speaking, seem to have rcpt have been adversely affected by this summer's dry conditions. Mrs. Andy Dixon of the Ailsa Craig area told the newspaper that their crop of Macfntosh and spy apples are looking good. A new variety of apple the Ida Red is "coming along nicely" she. said. Mrs. Dixon said they have not faced the lack of moisture which orchard operations in the Clinton area have. ' Gerry Crunican of Crunican Brothers echoed Mrs. Dixon and said their apple crop should be about the same as last -year. Crunican said the number of Maclntosh apples should be down while the number of Spys will be up: He said their 40 acres of orchards located north of Burr along Highway 4 had Negligence is problem Each day, 136 youngsters fall victim to one of modern society's most rapidly - growing threats...accidental poisoning. In an effort to make the public more aware .of the problem that represents more than 50,000 child poisonings a year, the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association has embarked on a campaign to bring before the public the very real dangers caused by the careless handling of medication and household cleaning products. To this end, the two pharmacists at Exeter Pharmacy will be handing out brochures to customers during this month and will also be making some speaking engagements. Talks are planned with the nurses at South Huron Hospital and the students at the local elementary schools. Any groups wishing a speaker or information on the topic should contact the Pharmacy. If accidental poisoning were a disease, it would be classified as an epidemic, and the tragedy of it all is, none of it need .happen.

Barry Jeffery of RR 3, Exeter says his two acres of apples will be down about 25 percent compared to last year but he considers this to be a normal part of the growing cycle: Lack of moisture has not been a problem, he said. At the Exeter plant of Canadian Canners, manager Jack Urquhart reports one of the heaviest corn crops in recent years. p7" Iif 4 Urquhart added, "The yield is heavy, well above average and the quality is good, although there is some uneveness." • He estimated about 65 percent of the corn was already harvested and ex- pected the pack to continue until the first week' of October. The local manager said the plant has been on a 24 hours a day operation for the past three weeks. He added, "We took Sunday off but will be ' back to the two, two 10 hour shifts again this week for the balance of the pack." 11O109 so?" !111 i i 11f1 Storm Doors with I .
