Agronomy expanding CENTRALIA - The Agronomy research program at Centralia is ex- panding into a new area. The Onta- rio Vegetable Growers' Marketing Board is sponsoring a co-operative sweet corn research trail between Centralia and Ridegtown Colleges. Bruce Brolley will co-ordinate the trails at Centralia. Debbie Riley, a research technician has been hired specifically to assist Brolley with the experiments. Four separate sweet corn research trials will be conducted this sum- mer. The objectives of the experi- ments are to: Plant two of the new sweet corn cultivars at five seeding rates and evaluate for plant stand, maturity, tip cover, ease of snapping, yield and quality. Determine the effect of planting date and maturity on the yield of both the standard and new sweet corn cultivars. Evaluate Supersweet corn for adaptability to southwest Ontario conditions and for a variety of char- acteristics including: maturity, yield, kernel depth and width, cob shape and ear uniformity. Establish one standard and one new sweet corn cultivar with simit lar maturities at standard width and plant population and evaluate for a number of characteristics. • The funding for the research is currently limited to one year but may be continued depending on the results and the need for further in- vestigation. r Barbecues in Zurich By Carmel Sweeney ZURICH -,There will be a chick- en barbecue on Thursday at the New Mennonite Church.

Semi -freestone: These peaches herald the start of the season in mid-July. Their flesh is soft and clings to the pit. 2. Freestone: As its name im- plies, this peach separates easily from its pit. Freestone peaches can be found in stores and markets by the second week of August with Red Haven being the first available of this type. 3. Clingstone: The flesh of these peaches clings firmly to the pit. They are used exclusively for com- mercial processing. Peach Warm -Ups: Spread slices of pound cake with raspberry or peach jam, sprinkle with sugar and ground cinnamon and broil until lightly browned. Top with fresh Ontano Peach halves and sweetened sour cream. Peach Treats: Place vanilla wafers in paper -lined muffin cups.

We're glad you asked! BOB FLETCHER WHY DO I NEED A it's a common misconception that only older people or those with large 'amounts of property need wills. The truth is that every adult should have a will to guarantee that his - or her - final wishes will be carried out properly. 1f you die without a will, local law will determine who inherits your prop- erty. Seldom will your property pass to the people you would choose in the proportions you prefer. With a will, you can choose who will admin- ister your estate, handle.financial matters, and act as guardian for your children. Even people in their 20's should have a will to specify their wishes in such matters. So-called "do-it-yourself" wills often do not stand up in court. Consulta- tion with a competent lawyer will assure that your will is legal and bind- ing; his or her fee is small when you consider the peace of mind that a legally secure will brings. As funeral directors, we have seen the disastrous results when the proper wills were not drawn. As funeral directors, we can provide counseling if you choose to speci- fy funeral services as part of your will. For all other related matters, see a lawyer. We welcome your questions and comments. hes2� A day In the woods - Nothing gets the adrenalin pumping like a game of flags, as the Hensall Playground kids discovered Monday.
