North America's best dogs
are coming to Blyth Arena
By Shelley McPhee
July 5 and 6, more than 500 of North
America's finest dogs will be in Blyth for
the annual Bluewater Kennel Club Show.
The 1983 judging competition promises
to be a successful event for the Bluewater
Club as entries for this year's show is up
over 100 from last year.
In 1982 the show was first held in the
Blyth Community Centre. Previous to that
it had been held in Exeter.
This year over 100 breeds of dogs coming
from across Canada and throughout the
United States will compete in the con-
firmation judging and obedience trials.
Judges will come from California, Ohio, ,
Pennsylvania and Ontario.
Judging on both days will run from 9 a.m
to 4 p.m. and the puppy sweepstakes

MAF wor er '11
oversee 41 elm s
By Rod Hilts
On June 14, John Bancroft came to
Clinton to work as a Rural Organizer
Specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture.
The role is new to both John and to the
Ministry of Agriculture.
His job involves working with people at
all levels. John's major role is to provide
leadership training and to oversee the
efficient function of 4-11 clubs and other
agricultural groups.
John is a native of Perth County, where
his parents farmed near Milverton. His
farming backround is what interested him
in a job in agriculture.
"I grew up on a farm and I've been in-
volved in 4-11 myself. I wanted this job to
try things from the other side of the fence,
I want to help them with their problems,"
John said.
John graduated from the University of
Guelph in 1981, specializing in Animal
Science.
He has two years experience working for
the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1981, he
worked in Carleton County near Ottawa
and Prince Edward County, as an
Assistant Agriculture Representative. It
was his job to advise farmers on seeding
rates and field crop extensions as well as
working with 4-H representatives.
On June 17, he hada chance to meet 4-H
clubs from Huron County at their annual
careers night. According to John, he
received "an open and receptive greeting"
from the clubs.
The main thrust off his job will be to
teach 4-H groups how to judge dairy, beef,
and field crops. He will also teach them
more efficient meeting procedures,
methods of presentation and explain the
resources available to 4-H leaders.
"It's satisfying to see young people learn
and develop socially," says John of
working with 4-H clubs. "Being a 4-H
member is a great experience that will
definitely help a person down the road."
John will be involved with an estimated
41 4-H clubs in Huron County. He admits
he'll be stretched thin but will try to meet
and help as many groups as possible.
He will also be helping groups such as
the Ontario Vacation Farm Association,
Junior Farmers, Agricultural and Hor-
ticultural Societies, Plowmen's
Association and the Federal Women's
Institute off Ontario.
John was married on June 4 to a girl
from Eastern Ontario. Elaine, also a
graduate in Animal Science, is a District
Field Manager for Purina in Elgin and
Middlesex Counties.
The couple is presently residing in
London but hope to be moving to the
Exeter area in July.
On June 23, a sewage plant dedication ceremony was held in Blyth. Following the ribbon
cutting ceremonies, the public had a chance to tour the facility. (Rod Hilts photo)
Soil virus affects
winter wheat crop
Some winter wheat fields
have been affected by Spin-
dle Streak Mosaic, a soil
born virus.
Spindle Streaks to severe
yellowing of the leaves can
occur. This will reduce yield
as a result of shrunken
kernels having lower bushel
weight.
A good rotation program,
growing wheat only one year
in four or five years is
recommended to avoid Spin-
dle Streak Mosaic. It also ap-
pears more prevalent in
earlier seeded crops. Spring
barley is showing severe
yellowing in many fields.
This is likely due to the cold
wet backward season which
resulted in soil compaction
by rains and in some cases
by farmers working the soil
too wet. The result is poor
soil aeration and possible
root rotting resulting in
yellowing and poor growth
and patchiness. Adequate
nitrogen and a good rain
would help barley recover.
Corn crops are growing
well, but need rain both to
stimulate growth and fer-
tilizer uptake, but also to
help activate pre -emergent
and post -emergent applied
herbicides. There could be
some signs of phosphorus
deficiency appear. This is
evident by purplish leaf
borders. With rain and good
growing conditions and pro-
per fertilization, corn will
outgrow this condition in a
few days.

Teaching positions down
at secondary level
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The number of secondary school
teaching positions in Huron County will
decline for the 1983-84 school year, but by
how much depends on the Board of Educa-
tion's budget deliberations.
The Huron County Board of Education,
at its March meeting, approved 239 secon-
dary school teaching positions which in-
cludes 6.5 special education positions. The
total for the coming school year represents
a decline from the present 243.7 teaching
positions in Huron secondary schools.
The board learned the total for the com-
ing school year may increase if the cost of
two additional teachers, one for student
services and the other for Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton, are approved
during budget deliberations. If approved,
the total teaching positions for secondary
schools would be 241.
There will be a few teaching positions
eliminated this coming year as 2.16
teaching positions were made on a tem-
porary basis last year to enable students to
finish programs in Spanish and Latin. Any
surplus teachers are expected to be taken
care of through attrition.
