THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1960 Bad Month For Far ers (Stratford Beacon Herald) A drive through the countryside today will reveal the fact that the haying season is here. The acreage of pasture -hay mix- tures grows each year, and as a result haying is much earlier on many farms. The regular hay mixtures of alflafa, clover and timothy are cut much earlier than was the ease some years ago. Soft, early cut hay is relished by our stock, and it does have greater food value. The early cutting of better hay mixtures, com- bined with better pastures, is probably as much responsible for the greater milk yield per cow reported in the past few years, as any other factor. Unfortunately a good many farmers are hardly ready for the hay harvest. The month of May, 1960, has probably been as tough a seeding month as farmers of Western Ontario have ever ex- perienced. In fact, we understand that there are stili a few areas where there has been very little seeding One yet. Not only was the seeding of Spring grains delayed beyond the date when a rea- sonable crop could be expected, but grain, corn, and soybean seed- ing was delayed in those areas where these crops are grown, to a date where there is doubt as to whether they will mature. We understand that in a neighbouring County the Federa- tion of Agriculture directors considered asking that their county be declared as a disaster area. We are hardly facing a disaster season in Perth County as yet. There are a great many farmers whose seeding was put in late, or possibly is not in yet. If these farms were all in one district the area would be surprisingly large, and could possibly qaulify as a disaster area. If the crop and income loss now facing so many farmers were faced by any other group of workers the news would certainly rate front page headlines. Fortunately, the Western Ontario ,farmer does not entirely depend upon his Spring -sown crops. Pastures are good, and the hay crop is promising. Given fair weather in the next few months, most area farmers should still have a fair average crop. This, of course, is small compensation for the many farmers whose land is still unsown or whose seeding was done in the month of June. Then too, after a week of fine weather, the rains have again became general and continuous. The firs"t-cut hay that looked so promising a few days ago, is certainly not improving out there in the field and farmers are losing telt again in the race to get their work up to date. Could it be that the year 1960 is going to be a repetition of the season of 1940? In that season there were probably as many rainy days as sunshine, and the harvest continued into September and October, and many fields could not be harvested at all. .'^R.,..M tTi+./...J7 lxu� 0 flt.'IJ;.tt1, "�k1 •f Th0_d,i.' 4<N:r�rN-.•.aV2..i,it.

Bossenberry left for St. Joseph's Hospital, on Monday, where she will undergo an opera- tion, Zurich lost it's first baseball game of the season last Thurs- day night to Crediton. Over 1,000 witnessed the game, played on the Zurich diamond. It is regretable, that in connec- tion with such a fine gaane so much "rough stuff" was pulled off. There was a gang among the visitors who carne with the in- tention of being ugly and they certainly exercised their intentions when C. Weir was caught napping on first base and was tallied out by the base umpire, Mr. E. J. Hess, B.A. Sc., of Peterborough, Mr. Hess has had considerable ex- perience as umpire in city and lo- cal games, always giving impartial decisions, however, Anderson, Cre- diton's short stop, immediately proceeded to choke him, probably thinking he could force him to change his decision, but for the better element in the crowd, other sympathizing bullies would have assisted him. Anderson has been reported and may be disqualified as a player for the remainder of the season. Anyway the Crediton team will be better off without him. All lovers of fine clean base- ball expect to see_ him play no more in South Huron. 25 YEARS AGO JUNE 1935 Mr. Louis Schilbe, who has been confined to the hospital in Lon- don during the past weeks where he underwent a serious mastoid operation, is now back at the home here, and is able to be up and around.

Carl Hemingway) The Directors of Huron County Federation of Agriculture met for their regular monthly meeting on June 15, in the Agricultural Board Rooms, Clinton. After some discussion the Di- rectors agreed to again sponsor a Federation Prince and Princess competition in the County this fall. It was suggested that from the name of the competition many have the idea that this is some- thing of a "beauty contest" and therefore hesitate in taking part. To correct this idea publicity is to be given the fact that while per- sonality and appearance do enter into the points in judging, these have never been a deciding fac- tor in past competitions. The ob- ject of the contest is to encourage young people to inform themselves about farm organizations, commo- dity groups and marketing meth- ods. It is on knowledge of these things that the contest has been won or lost, If interested contact your township or county Federa- tion secretary. Plans were made for the annual Federation Worship Service to be held at the United Church Stam- mer Camp at Goderich, July 10, at 3 p.m. Please watch for further announcement. Elgin McKinley, of the County T.B. survey committee, expressed appreciation for the co-operation of the Federation in assisting this work. lie reported that the survey would begin oit July 19 and int- pressed: on us the .need for a high percentage to be tested. The treat- ment for T.B. has become much more effective as a result patients do not need hospitalization for such long periods but the number of eases have not decreased. It is particularly important that those over 40 be tested since these people may easily be carriers and yet have no knowledge of it. Only the most intensive effort will wipe out this disease. By the Ottawa report I see that with hogs selling live in Chicago at $17.70, American dealers are in- vestigating the possibility of ship- ping a few hogs this way. This is the equivalent of $23.60 in Toron- to, add to this expenses with the reduced exchange of $1,50 and an- other $1.50 for the higher quali- ty of Ontario hogs and a Toronto price of $26.60 means about a break even price for U.S. hogs or pork. Since live hogs must be quarentined for 30 days, the threat is.• from pork, not hogs. If our markets increase to any ex- tent we will be faced with the problem of imports in yet another farm product, Egg prices seem to have a slight inclination to climb. The hatcher- ies showed another increase of 13 per cent over last year for the week of June 3. This has reduced the percentage of cut back for the year to about 14 per cent which could easily mean too many eggs this winter. U.S. has cut back about one-third so this is encoura- ging if we don't continue to in, crease the hatch. SUGAR & SPICE (By W. (BILL) B. T. SMILEY) As we are slightly better than knee-deep in June, it seems a good time to examine the pecu- liarities of summer, as it applies to the male of the species. Age and appreciation of summer are closely related, and one of these days some earnest graduate stu- dent will do a thesis on it. - * When I was ten, summer stret- ched ahead endless and alluring. It was at least six months long. That's the best age of ail for a boy. He hasn't a worry, in. the world. He doesn't care what he looks like. He has no work to tlo, and girls are of no interest what- ever. Re lives in a world of bril- liant colours and sharp sensations, in which the dividing line be- tween the real and the imaginary is .almost nonexistent. * * * This kid can swim in cold water until his lips are bluer than his eyes, He can play ball for hours in a blazing sun that would knock out a camel. He can eat an entire meal in four minutes. And at the end of a long, long day, he sleeps as limp and motionless as a wet towel. Wouldn't it be nice to be ten again, when the summer lasts forever and is always hot and smells good? If 10 is the best age for a boy, in sununer, 15 is the worst. The young fellow whose parents are not loaded with the stuff must take a job, and he envies bitterly the rich kids who are off to camp or cottage. If his parents are wealthy, he resents having to go to the cottage, with a lot of darn wo- men and little kids, and wants to get a summer job, like all his fri- ends. * * * At 15, the young finale is acutely aware of: girls; his parents, who are practically morons; his com- plexion,' which makes him feel like suicidal; money, of which he never has enough; and girls. Sum- mer is pure torture for this bird, who winds up falling in love with some brown -legged girl who is just visiting for three weeks, and wri- ting her soul -baring letters for at least two months after school resumes, * * * By the time our male specimen reaches his 20's, summer is once again a choice period, Only trou- ble is, it's not long enough, He works hard, He'll drive a hundred miles to fish; he'll play 27 holes of golf; or he'll dance until dawn, (Continued on page 3) 19th BIRTHDAY? -keep insured® You're no Ionger insured under your parent's Hospital Insurance Certificate.
