Box 98 -28tf !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. - 4 • Monday, Sept. 14th is the be- flinning of six daziling days packed with interest, entertain- ment and pleasure • Canada's largest fruit and vegetable com- petition • the finest poultry show in the Dominion • • the pride of Western Ontario's live- stock • the newest in industry, manufacturing and home prod- ucts • Canada on display! • A new high in entertainment • largest Grandstand Folties yet, plus nirle internationally famous acts • Jack Kochman's Hell Drivers • Horse Show • Band ---------Music-.—Conklin's- Midway of a 1001 delights and thrills • Trot- ting Races • a complete Kiddies Midway • bursting, brilliant fireworks! • Make Western Fair a FamilyrAffair!

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.
