The non -summer
of 18T6
EDITOR'S NOTE — If we think
we're hard hit with our abundant
rainfall and cold temperatures
since mid-August, we can thank
our lucky stars we're not having
a repeat of the summer of 1816.
The following information
regarding that summer of long
Ago is from the publication
Summer 1973 which was brought
into our office by Frank Zurbrigg
of Listowel.
The ye r 1816 is the year..that is
known, as the Summerless Sum-
mer.
Snow began to fall in the middle
of June and by the middle of Aug-
ust was a foot in depth. The earth
remained under her winter blan-
ket until the following summer.
Absolutely nothing in the way
of harvest was garnered and
everything in the way of crops
rotted in the ground.
People lived on meat and fish:
There were no vegetables and
therewas no flour. It was venison
and fish today and fish and veni-
son tomorrow. Cattle were
slaughtered when it was felt they
should be so used.
Hay had to be shipped from
Ireland to save starving cattle. ft
sold for $45 a ton. Flour sold at $17
a barbel and potatoes a penny a
pound which were previously un-
heard-of prices.
The year was called "eighteen
hundred and froze to death". The
cause of the cold was believed to
have been sun spots which- were
so large that for the first time in
history they could be seen with-
out the aid of a telescope.
The following spring corn was
$2 a bushel, wheat $2.50, rye $2,
oats 90 cents and beans $3.

McIntosh 'KW
hears story of
early Methodic.
BELMORE — The Septeinber
meeting of the McIntosh UCW
was held in the church basement,
The devotions were in charge of
Mrs. Everett Dustow, and were
opened with the singing of "We
Plough the Fields and Scatter".
The scripture lesson from
Matthew, chapter 10, was read,
followed by the hymn, "Come, Ye
Thankful People Come".
The mediation on "Does God
Care?" was given and devotions
then closed with prayer.
The roll call, "A summer vaca-
tion item", brought many in-
teresting stories of summer trips
and outings. The minutes were
read and approved. Two thank -
you notes for cheer boxes were
Information on producers' .eli-
gibility and balloting procedures
will be delivered to producers as
soon as the necessary documents
are prepared. Eligible producers
of record with the Ontario Egg
Producers' Marketing Board as
of Sept. 16, 1975, will be entitled to
cast their ballots.
A certificate will be provided to
each eligible producer, which will
entitle the producer to cast a ,j)al-
lot. In order to cast his ballot, the
producer will be required to give
his certificate to the registrar
and also sign a declaration form.
Only a person named on the cer-
tificate may cast a ballot. No per-
son will be permitted to ballot
without a certificate.
Producers will be asked to ex-
press their opinion on two ques-
tions.
Question 1 concerns the con-
tinuation of the present plan,
known as the Ontario Egg Pro-
ducers' Marketing Plan, which
includes production controls and,
at the present time, includes par-
ticipation in the Canadian Egg .-
Marketing Agency. If 66 two-
thirds of those balloting on this
question are in favor, the Farm
Products Marketing Board will
regard this as sufficient support
to recommend continuation of the et
Ontario Egg Producers' Market-
ing Plan.
Question 2 concerns quota
transfer policy. Producers will be
asked to indicate which one of
four alternative quote transfer
policies they support. These are:
(a) The existing controlled
quota transfer policy, under
which the Ontario Egg Produc-
ers' Marketing Board is the sole
buyer and seller of basic quota;
(b) A controlled leasing policy
which wpuld provide for leasing
of production quota on an annual
basis under the control of the On-
tario Egg Producers' Marketing
Board;
(c) An open quota transfer
poli-
cy under which a producer could
sell his basic quota on the open
market;
(d) An open leasing policy un-
der which a producer could lease
his production quota on an annual
basis on the open market.
In makingthe announcement,
Mr. Burrell said it was time to
know the opinion of Ontario egg
producers with respect to the
continuation of the plan and the
transfer of quota.

The study period Wa in charge
of Mrs. Alam Darling, who chose
as her topic "The Methodist
Saddlebag Ministry of Upper
Canada". Major George Niel was
the first of these ministers and
was a native of South Carolina
who emigrated 'to Quebec in the
middle 1700'8. Niel was preaching
at the same time as John and
Charles Wesley. The first chapel
was built at Dunham in the 1780's
and is still standing. Niel later
moved to Port Rowan where he
died in 1840. In 1908 a search was
conducted for his tombstone. It
was found and Niel Memorial
Church (United) was erected at
Port Rowan in his honor. He has
descendants living at Elmira,
Ontario.
A financial report was given by
the treasurer and the bills were
presented and passed. During the
