Bain de1ays bean harvc �t
CLINTON - The high levels of rain in the
last two weeks. may delay the harvesting of
the soybean crop but it doesn't appear to be
in any great danger, says an official with the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture' and F,00d
(OMAF).
•
According to Brian Hall, a farm manage-
ment specialist with OMAF, the next two to
three weeks should indicate how good the
soybean crop will be. ..
"If we get a dry spell, it will be good. If•we -
continue to get wet weather, it won't be so
good, "he said.
If the wet weather persists it could have
an effect on the yield and also the quality of
the bean cropin the area; hesays.
In the Clinton area, the soybean crop looks
particulary good because it has received the
right amount of .rainfall with very few dry
spells this year, he said. however, in
southern Huron County, the lean crops may
not fare as well because of the dryer
weather it has experienced.
The white bean crop is the current con-
cern because it is now ready and more wet
Weather could delay the harvest aven
longer. The soybeans should be ready for
harvest by the end of the month; says Mr.
Hall. The rain in'the area has delayed the plan-
ting of the rapeseed crop which was due to
be planted by 'late August. Farmers who
want' a third cut of hay have also had to.
delay taking it off because of the weather,
he says. '
Yet another problem facing this year's
bean crop is thea threat of frost that is
rumored for this area next week, says Mr.
Hall. .

agreed to take legal action regarding a
$217.25 account owing to the town for lumber
misappropriated from the town public
works department. .
The lumber, stored in an open shed at the
Clinton Park was used by Dennis Jewitt and
Kevin Carter to repair a horse barn at the
park.
Public Works Foreman Harold Gibbings
reported to council that his department had
planned to use the 16-18 feet long timbers as
shoring Material for drainage work. The
lumber, he. said, was stored at the Clinton
Park for loading convenience and weather
protection.
"Had they have asked," Mr. Gibbings told
council, "there were broken signs and hydro
poles that.would have suited the work."
Council sent registered letters to Mr.
Carter and Mr. Jewitt asking for payment.
They were given until September 3 to res-
pond, with the understanding that the town
would take legal action if necessary.
Mr. Gibbings noted, "The problem is
more than the $217 bill. It's a matter of
respecting other people's property," a pro-
blem previously evide iced at the park, he
said.
