Huron County
To Celebrate 100th
Anniversary in 1941
By Harry J. Boyle
Next year will mark the 100:)1
anniversary of one of Ontarlo'e
:foremost counties . the County
of Huron. It was in 1541 that the
District of Huron came into being
.and since then it has steatite/
progressed until it ranks as one of
the greatest agricultural counties iu,
'Canada.
A.great section of -public opinion
do the county demands that tLe
occasion be marked fittingly. One
of the most eloquent forms of ex-
pression marking the anniversary
would be a pageant of the history
of the county.
Huron County has a romantic
history from which the recorders
may draw inspiration to base their
pageant on. Going back to the
early days the history of the In-
dian race from which the county
drew its nature is in itself a veritable
treasure trove of stories. Then aga'n
the story of Samuel de Charnplain's
trip up the Ottawa River, down
through the Georgian Bay district,
his stopping to vamp on the present
location of Goderich, Huron County
town, his brush with the Iroquois
Indians, his return to stop once again
at the mouth of the Maitland Rivet
and his overtures of frienrdsliip to
the Huron Indians would be an inter.,
eating opening for the pageant,
Trading was officially opened in
the settlement in 1826 when a
French trader opened a trading
Post on the island at the mount i
of the Maitland Riyer. And then
came to Canada Land Company
to take over a million acres et land '
in the London and Western Canada
district in 1826. ,Of course, that
brings 'up the old question whether
the Canada Land Company monopoly
really developed the Huron Tract, or
whether it was the initials of the
settlers and the quality of the land,
which [progressed in spite of the re-
tarding influence of the company.
But think of the history wrapped up
in the stories of Galt and, Dunlop. Dr.
"Tiger" Dunlop is an almost legend.
Dry figure in Huron County, and
about ,him and his famous, eccentric
will there could be built a most in-
teresting phase of Huron County his-
tory.
Any history of Huron would net
be complete if we omitted the
name of Colonel Anthony Van Eg•
mond, upon whose farm between Sea -
Borth and Clinton the first wheat was
grown. This "stormy petrel" oe early
politics was a distinguished spldter
who gave much tolrvarde the develop-
ment of the county. Early politics

Albeit What a wealth of peon rail
the directors of the 1941 pageant
inight have in picturing the scene
from the days of .footpaths to the

A great deal of the history or
Huron County has yet to be re-
corded, but great deal of it is now
kept in such permanent records as
the volumes of the Lizaar sisters
and the Atlas of Huron County
published in 1879. On this page of
The Free -Press there has also been
Peblished the results of diligent
searching and facet -finding on the
part of special correspondents,
From these and the county records
and the Huron County Museum will
be drawn the story to be pieced to-
gether in the pageant of Huron
County which the historians of the
county hope will be presented at the
centenary celebrations of the county
in 1941.

been painted with cod liver oil.
He had ordered the house painted

FARM NOTES
FERTILIZING WHEAT
The rate at which fertilizer is
applied to the acre for Wheat has
a very important bearing on results
obtained, writes Prof, Henry G. Bell
of the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph. Wheat removes a moderate
amount of plantfood from the soil. A
30 bus. crop removes 50 Lbs, nitrogen,
20 of [phosphoric acid and 30 of
potash.
If the wheat sail does not care
tain at least this amount of avail-
able plantfood during the growing
Period of the crop, normal yields will
not be obtained.
Amount And Balance
In the addition of fertilizers it
is not the intention of the grower
to add to the soli all of the plantfoud
that a normal crop would remove,
Howeber experiment and experience
confirm and establish the fact that it
no other factor such as shortage of
moisture, poor seed or the like limit
the growth of Wheat, the yield is
directly influenced by the amount and
balance of plantfood added.
Fight tests as to the effect of rates
of fertilizers were conducted in
representative Wheat growing sec•
tions, of the province. The following
standard fertiliers were used: -
0 -12-10, 012.6, 0-16.,6, 2-12-10, 2-16-6.
These were applied on aa, acre plots
at 250 and 125 lbs. per acre, and an
equal area without fertilizer was
grown as check.
Results are as follows:—
Rate Ay. Yield Per Ac. Gain
-0- 22.5
2225 lbs. 29.2 6.7 Las.
259 lbs. 35.1 12.6 bus.
The difference In cost ranges
from approximately $1:96 and $2.00
for 135 lbs. per acre of fertilizers used
on Wheat to double these figures for
250 lbs. per acre.
TIMELY ADVICEe
—0—
At this particular season of the
year, when threshing operations are
general throughout the ,province,
farmers should exercise greater care
than normally. A little extra precau•
tion can mean the difference between'
a barn well stocked with grain and
fodder and, a heap of charred r'uias,
With no- place to keep the livestock
during the winter.
Professor Blackwood, of the Oh_
tario Agricultural College at Guelph•
has been investigating the causes of
fires during threshing operations, aua
offers some advice that should be
heeded by every farmer.
He points out that electric sparks
in a threshing machine can cause a
fire on striking the right proportion
of this' and air. That danger, he
points out, can be avoided by ground..
ing the machine. Blower fires are
serious, but they too can be avoided
by spraying five gallons of water to
every tort of straw. It is sale'
that amount of water will not harm
the straw, nor cause spontaneous
combustion,
et is a wise practice to insist that
the men who work in the barn, or on
the stack, take all nea•tohcs out of
their pockets, No one should be
allowed to smoke near the barn,
Another practice that should be
ruled out is that of shovelling loose
grain and chaff from the barn floor
with a shovel. Usually near the end
of the threshing somebody grabs 11p a
cllovel and warts to clean up around
the machine, .A spark is quite likely
0 be caused, when tato shovel strikes
a nail head, or an Iron part of ire
machine, The a forir instead.
If these p092±10al srtggestidn ate
followed out, Professor Blackwood
points out, there is very little danger
of a threshing fire,
