!See Two Modern
Farms On Journey
Four bus 'loads and one car load
made up the convoy of Huron farm
people- that toured the Niagara
eeninsula recently, with G. W.
Montgomery and Harold Baker of
the Department of Agriculture
as guides for the lad people who
took tne tour.
New ideas were picked up at
two big modern farms visited in
tne Peninsula. At the Martin Bros.
fruit and vegetable farm at Vine=
land, the Huron people saw 80
acres under intense cultivation for
fruit and vegetable crops, with ir-
rigation pipe -lines bringing water
I from Lake Erie to carry moisture
to the crops as required. The ir-
rigation system, powered by a 45
horsepower motor, was capable,
the visitor's : were told, of putting
on water atf the rate of an inch an
acre an hour.
At .the Martin farm, the touring
!party also saw land being used for
two crops, almost simultaneously.
1 ne beet harvest was just coining
to an end, and, on the land where
the beets were grown, celery was
1.beim . transplanted to rows be-
tween the beet rows. Other fields
were being used to grow beets, and
then head lettuce, as successive
crops, with the lettuce rows alter-
nating with' the beet rows.
At Clovelly -Farm, RAI. 3, St.
Catharines, operated * by Stewart
Bros., the Huron people were con-
ducted on • a tour of the farm, and
saw the noted Guernsey herd, and
the three big wooden silos, filled
with grass silage. Except for the
show herd, they learned, the Clov-
elly Guernseys go through the win-
ter without grain feeding, unless
some supplementary ration be fed
at freshening times.
In the course of the day's tour,
the party from Huron also saw the
Welland Canal, the new power de-
velopment at Chippewa, and Ni-
agara Falls illuminated at night.
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
CHARGE DISMISSED
Charged with theft of his own
truck, Harold Johnson, of Gode-
rich, pleaded not guilty in police
court last Thursday and heard the
charge dismissed by Magistrate D.
.E. Holmes, Q.C.
The theft was alleged to have
been committed on January 31.
of this year from the Reg. McGee
& Sons garage in Goderich after
repairs had been made to the
vehicle.
Len McGee testified that the
truck was being held under a
mechanic's lien pending payment
of a bill of $166.13 for the repairs.
He said he knew of no person in
authority at the garage who had
given the accused permission to
take the vehicle.
The accused, represented by
Frank Donnelly, Q.C., said that he
had taken the truck from_ the
garage on the morning of January
31, but had no intention of stealing
it and had intended to make ar-
rangements for payment of the
bill. -

Number of County
Mortgages Down
40% In 2 Years
Production of creamery butter
in Huron County has fallen • off
about 45 per cent In the last nine
years, according to the statistics
of the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture for 1952, just released.
In 1952 there were 2,636,067 pounds
produced whereas in 1943 , "there
were 4,941,276 pounds. Bruce
County showed a slight fall off
while Perth County showed a slight
gain for the same period.
Acreage of cleared land in Huron
County in 1952 was 675,299. This
was surpassed only by one other
county in the province, Simcoe,
with 705,056 ,acres.' Total value of
all field crops in Huron County in
1952 was $15,400,820, an average
value per acre of $41.57.
In 1%952 Huron County had 7,260
horses valued at $808,900, 149,300
cattle valued at $26,100,700 (more
than any other county in the pro-
vince), 120,000 swine, 8,060 sheep
and lambs and 1,661,859 hens and
chickens (leading all counties in
poultry also).
Agricultural prosperity is shown
in the reduction in the number of
chattel mortgages in Huron County.
In 1950 there were 929 of them,
amounting to $944,810 whereas by
1952 there were only 384 amount-
ing to $840,435. This is a reduc-
tion in the number of mortgages
of about 40 per cent over a two
year period.
