Two new directors, Don Camp.
bell, R. R. 3, Bayfield, and
Elmore McBride, of Exeter,
were elected to the board of the
Hay Fire Insurance Company at
the annual meeting last Saturday
afternoon in Zurich. The replace
Jack Scotchmer, who was ap-
pointed as agent for the company
and Edward Lamport, who has
retired. Also re-elected for a
three-year period was Mel Web-
ster, of Clinton.
Four Men were nominated for
the three posts on the board, and
in the voting which took place
Alvin Rau, R. R. 2, Zurich, was
the defeated candidate. The
largest crowd of policyholders
in many years attended the
annual meeting.
The annual report showed that
almost six million dollars more
insurance was in force at the
end of 1970, compared to the
end of 1969, but due to an
extremely large number of
losses in the year, the net in-
come in 1970 was only $1765,
compared to slightly over ten
thousand last year. The assets
of the company, however, have
risen from $137, 000 in 1969 to
almost $325, 000 by the end of
1970.
The administrative expenses
of the company rose from $22,
377 in 1969 to #23, 860 in 1970.
Barn fires continued to be the
heaviest loss for the company,
as a total of almost $75, 000
was paid out in 1970 for fires in
outbuildings and contents, com-
pared to only $16, 000 for dewl-
lings and contents. Total direct
losses in the year amounted to
almost $123, 000.

The nitrogen content of manure
produced in the Ontario Great
Lakes basin is sufficient to supply
all the corn presently grown, if
it is used effectively.
The use of manure presents
three difficulties: even distrib-
ution within the region, pollution
and excess nitrogen in feed.
These are some of the findings
presented by Dr. M. H. Miller
and Prof. T. H. Lane, Depart-
ment of Soil Science, University
of Guelph to the Ontario Soil
and Crop Improvement Associatior
meeting held in Toronto last week
Dr. Miller said the value of
manure for crop production has
been known since the beginning
of agriculture. Research at the
University of Guelph showed that
the use of manure produced
higher yields than did fertilizer
aloud.
