EXETER - Have you noticed
more Togs piled at the side of the
road lately? More Togs were sold in
the last two years, than the previous
ten. Log prices since 1992 have in-
creased drastically, especially in
hardwoods; black cherry, sugar ma-
ple and oak logs have seen the
greatest price increases. For exam-
ple, sugar maple was selling for ap-
proximately $400-450 per thousand
board feet in 1992, and today is
selling for as. much as $850 per
thousand board feet. It is no won-
der woodlot owners are cashing in
their logs today.
The Middlesex County Woodlot
Owner's Association is holding a
Woodlot Information Day on Sep-
tember 20. The bus tour leaves the
Komoka Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and rural Affairs office at

sion, Dirk Vanvrouwerff from the

agement and tree species identifica-
tion. In the afternoon, Doug

are discussing the marking and sell-
ing of woodlots. The bus trip is free

Country tour
lures supporters
Brenda Burke T -A staff
CENTRALIA - A tour of the
South Huron Foodgrains Project,
• which is based on a mission to
grow food to feed the hungry, en-
tertained local people as well as
supporters from St. John United
Church in Hamilton and Calvary
United Church in London on Sat-
urday.
The tour included a self-directed
guide to Centralia, Thames Road,
Zion and Elimville United church-
es as well as two foodgrains plots,
the Nabisco Foods canning factory,
Dashwood Industries, Hensall Dis-
trict Co-op, Huron Produce and the
Morrison Dam Conservation Area.
The tour was organized, ac-
cording to project chairperson Mar-
garet Hern, "to familiarize the ur-
ban people with what we have in
this farming community...and just
to have a day out."
The tour map suggested points of
local interest such as an apple or-
chard, the harvesting of white pea
beans, the rail line, hay fields, silos,
steel granaries, Donnelly history
and round bales. Sightings of
Woodvue Farms, the Triehner emu
farm, Dougall's Berry Farm and
Country Cravings craft shop were
also included.
One of the tour's highlights was
the corn roast at Thames Road
United Church where participants
could eat their fill of corn on the
cob, burgers, hotdogs and apples.
Although Mabel Burns,. of Ham-
ilton, said her tour group nearly got
lost along the way, she said, "It's
wonderful to he in the country."
"I think (the tour) has been well
received," said Clifton Jaques, a
tour participant from Centralia.
Corn from the two foodgrains
plots, rented from Mr. and Mrs.
Don McCurdy and Mr. and Mrs.
Lorne Hern at $ I00 an acre, will be
harvested in the next few weeks by
a local farming bee.
Most of the total estimated cost
Of the 30 acres of corn. which is
$12,420, has been covered by a
combination of donations from
church congregations, area ag-
ricultural companies and private
donations. The project so far has
paid only $4,000 of its own money
towards the expenses.
"We expected to pay our way
completely but as it turned out peo-
ple were very generous," said
Burns who added the importance of
the tour was to show "the overall
productiveness of our area" and
"the smallness of our churches."
The idea for the foodgrains pro-
ject began last year and the first of-
ficial meeting was held in March.
"The biggest hurdle to get over
was finding land,". said Brent Cas-
lick, secretary-teasurer of the pro-
ject.
