Rita Blatchford of 206 Vic- torial street. Crediton was proceeding south at about 7:45 p.m. when her car went out of control on the wet pavement and struck a tree in the east ditch.

Other crops are looking quite good including the soybeans which are grown in the county. Approximately 16,000 acres of the high protein food are under cultivation compared to about 30,000 acres of white beans. While the acreage of soybeans has been on the increase, the numbers for white beans are just about the same compared to years ago. Following the disasterous fall of 1978 the white bean acreage was halved, Pullen said. One of the interesting trends is a northward migration for the centre of the white bean industry as soybeans move into the south part of the county. The second cut of hay appeared to be ingoodshape but because of the un- predictable weather, problems were experienced in taking the crop off. Rutabagas in the area appear to be in generally good shape while pasture land is also looking good. Pullen did agree it has been a very unusuaLgrowing season. According to Jack Urquhart, manager of Canadian Canners at Exeter, the pea crop was very good with the harvesting of the peas to be completed by tomorrow. The corn is also looking good but it be a little late due to the cool spring.
