/Hensall is proud of the quantity of grain which is handled
in the village and proclaims its wade in the signs which the
Chamber. of Commerce has erected on No. 4 Highway. Here,
Sharon Middleton on the left, is shown one• of the signs by
Gwen Spencer. Duncan Cooper and his son, Doug, were among
first to start harvest operations this year. They are shown here
at their farm between Hensall and Kippen, cutting wheat, which
they expect will yield over 50 bushels to the acre.
"Ontario Grain Capital"
Is Claim of Hensall Village
Terming Hensall the Ontario
grain capital, Jimmie Simpson, a
writer with the Toronto Globe
and Mail on Monday had this to
say about the town:
Although this Huron County vil-
lage has a population of only 760,
ft claims, and with justification,
that it is the grain capital of On-
tario. The centre of a very pro-
ductive farming district, Hensall
Stas three large grain elevators.
One of them, operated by W.
Thompson & Sons Ltd., is tate ',larg-
est
Pars.est inland elevator in Ontario.
With harvest time about to be-
gin, Hensall district grain is rip-
ening fast. Duncan Cooper has al-
ready cut his stand of Dawbull
wheat, one of f -erst farmers in
Ontario to start harvesting.
Barley, the main grain crop of
the area, is shaping up nicely and
a large crop of field peas, another
big money crop, is expected again
thie year.
Hensall's claim to fame arises
from the large tonnage of grains
and peas shipped annually. In • 1953
a total of 24,461 tons of grain and
6,223 tons of beans lett by. rail. And
Must Now Advise
Grade of Grain from
Ontario Elevators
Culminating discussions which
have extended over the past year,
announcement was made last week
that regulations of the Board of
Grain Commissioners for Canada
had been amended to provide that
the grade of Western grain must
be indicated when it is delivered
for local consumption by licensed
eastern elevators.
The information was contained
In a letter from the Minister of
Trade and Commerce, to A. Y. Mc-
Lean, Seaforth. It was Mr. Mc-
Lean who first drew the matter to
the attention of Mr. Howe, and in
the interval provided, the informa-
tion
nformstion that justified the change in
regulations. Mr. Howe is the fed-
eral minister responsible to parlia-
ment for the operations of the
Grain Board.
It was agreed that the regula-
tions were quite satisfactory as
long as shipments were confined to
Carload' lots. But with the advent
of truck deliveries accounting for
much of the local consumption, it
was felt by farmers, who were the
ultimate users of the grain, that
the grade of such grain should be
indicated by the elevator upon de-
livery being made. I•t was to bring
the regulations up to date and in
recognition of a change in the pur-
chasing habits in so far as feed
grain is concerned, that represen-
tations were made to Mr. Howe.
The instruction which has gone
forward to elevators provides as
follows:
"All Western grain received into
licensed eastern elevators is cov-
ered by a grain inspection certifi-
vete issued at the Lakehead or at
a western inspection point.
"It is not practical to split these
Certificates to cover small lots de-
livered from eastern elevators for
local consumption. This does not,
9rowever, relieve the operator of
an eastern elevator from the obli-
gation to deliver grain of the grade
specified in any order for the de-
livery of grain into trucks for lo-
cal consumption.
"In future, therefore, operators
of licensed eastern elevators will
issue to the person taking delivery
of the ...grain from the elevator,
with each lot or parcel of western,
grain shipped for local eontlinn -
Von, a delivery slip indicating the
actual welght and grade of the
%rain delivered."„

although there are no official fig-
ures for truck haulage, it is esti-
mated that just as much, if not
more, took .short haul trips by
road. The 1952 figures totalled
29,103 tons of grain and 8,933 tons
of beans shipped by rail. Again
the truck shipments are estimated
to have doubled this total.
The huge holdover crop jam-
ming elevators at Montreal and
every other storage point across
the Dominion, may 'have its effect
on Hensall farmers this season.
Already a major buyer, Canada
Malting, bas signified it will cut
orders in Hensall this year con-
siderably.
• Three firms operate elevators in
Hensall, George T. Mickle & Son,
Cook Bros. Limited, and W. G.
Thompson and Sons Ltd. The
Thompson elevator, built last year
after fire destroyed a former one,
has used a different type of con-
struction
onstruction than that normally em-
ployed. With storage capacity for
1'00,0011 bushes, the elevator was
built from cement slabs, with
heavy steel bars wrapped around
the outside of each stack as rein-
forcement.
The one other industry in the
village, General Coach, makes cab-
in trailers, some nearly 50 feet
long. They come in all sizes,
ranging up to those with three
separate rooms.
The Chamber of Commerce,
beaded by druggist Bob Middleton,
has erected signs at the village
entrance which are formed to re-
semble grain elevators. And the
proud boast proclaiming Hensall as
grain capital of Ontario catches
motorists' eyes as they drive by.
It is the farmers who make Hen -
sail's existence possible. And they
are rightly recognized as the back-
bone of the district economy. Four
townships, Hay, Tuckersmith, Stan-
ley and Usborne, meet at Hensall,
all of them claim the village as
their own.

New Blinker Cautions
Intersection Traffic
Members of the P.ILC. mainten-
ance staff completed •installation of
a new blinker traffic light at the
intersection of Main and Goderich
Sts. on Wednesday. The new
blinker, a modern version of the
blinker which served at the corner
for the past five or six years, was
necessary because f a.difficulty in
obtaining repairs or the former
instrument. It is understood from
R. B. Holmes, P.U.C. Manager, that
maintenance of the blinker which
has now been installed, will be
much simpler than was the case
with the earlier model, since the
controls are contained not in. the
instrument itself, but at a point
removed from the blinker. This
means that it will not be neces-
sary to climb up to the blinker on
every occasion an adjustment is
required.
Approval for the purchase of the
blinker was given by the town
council at a meeting a couple of
months ago.

Cold Weather Reduces Crowds,
But Lions Carnival Ends With Ban
While cold weather reduced at-
tendance at the final night of the
19th annual summer carnival of
the Seaforth Lions Club, it failed
to reduce the holiday mood of the
crowd which was present to see
the selection of the best amateurs
in the amateur show contest which
featured the entertainment of the
carnival this year.
In the contest held Friday eve-
ning. Lorraine Holliday, Mount
Forest, won first place and $75,
with a dance number. Runners-
up in the contest were Sharon Ann
Grube, Bluevale, who won $50 as a
Highland dancer, and third prize
winner was Clarke Wallace, Wial-
kerton, who won $25 with a mouth
organ selection. Others who par-
ticipated in the final night con-
test were: Ens. Lillico, Seaforth;
Janie Day, Wingham; John Grum-
mett and Jim Hopper, Seaforth,
and Mrs. Pamela Sadler, Clinton.
On Wednesday night, 'CFPL-TV
cameramen were at the carnival
and action shots of the crowds and
of the amateur show appeared ov-
er that station Thursday evening.
Despite the cold weather which
prevailed during the three nights
of the carnival, the Friday night:
crowd stayed until the show was
over and was rewarded by an out-
standing display. of fireworks
which took place shortly before
midnight. Following the fireworks

draws for TV set other valu-
able prizes w held. General
chairman for the carnival was J.
A. Murray, while Ross Hamilton
convened the program committee.

Each of the programs were pre-
ceded by selections by district
Bands, and on Thursday night the
champion trumpet band of Canada,
that of R.C.A.F. Station, Clinton,
was the featured attraction. On
Frill night the Bannockburn Pipe
1performed.
Throughout the three days of
the carnival contests of various
kinds were held and one which at-
tracted more interest probably
than any others was that in which
the public was invited to guess the
weight of the team of horses own-
ed by Charles McKay, Tucker -
smith. When all the ballots which
had been cast were checked, it was
found that the first prize was won
jointly by Baden Powell and Mrs.
Alice Stiles, Seaforth. The weight
of the team was 4,395 pounds. Sec-
ond place went to Harry Chesney,
R.R. 4. In a similar contest to
guess the weight of a pony, first
prize went to J. O'Sullivan and Ev-
elyn Rivers, Seaforth, who split
the prize money when they guess-
ed the weight of the 395 -pound
pony. Second prize went to Arthur
Little, R.R. 2, Seaforth.
-Mrs. Wilfred Glenn, R.R. 2, God-
erioh, held the lucky ticket in a
draw for a Yorkshire .pig, plus 200

orm Threat Battle
Farmers throughout Huron, but
particularly those in 'the _McKillop,
Hullett, Tuckersmith area, are en-
gaged in battling outbreaks of
army worms which are threaten-
ing to destroy grain valued at
many thousands of dollars.
Taking the lead in the dis'triet
fight, Robert Dalton and Leslie
Dolmage, McKillop, brought a
truck load of a new chemical from
Toronto Monday. Power sprayers
;aumediately went to work to
spread the chemicals through the
fields that were known to be af-
fected. It is said to be the first
time this particular chemical has
been ,used in Canada.
Called Alrin, its availability was
made known by Lapslie Smith, of
Toronto, who was visiting his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Smith, on
Sunday. Mr. Smith suggested use
of the chemical to his nephew, Mr.
Dalton.
That the bug killer is successful
was indicated by an inspection by from pastures and hay fields to
farmers and by an entomologist. nearby fields of oats. barley, corn

worms at the rate of 480,000 worms are about lie inches long and

many dead worms, a few unhealthy gitudinal stripes. They feed at
worms, and an apparent end to the night or in the late evening. Dur -
fine -stemmed grasses, said Mr.
Follwell, that is what the worms
are likely to choose. For the same
reason, the wheat appears to be
escaping damage, because it is
now ripening and hardening, and
beyond the stage of attracting the
army worms.
Mr. Montgomery has prepared
instructions as to an alternative
method to be adopted in combat-
ting army worms. His statement
follows:
Outbreaks of armyworms have
been reported in Simcoe, Bruce.
Lambton and now in Huron Coun-
ty. Armyworms have appeared to
date in the Clinton, Seaforth, Lon-
desboro, Blyth, Fordwich and Bel -
more areas in Huron County.
Usually theinsect is kept under
control by parasites and other na-
tural control factors. If present
in large numbers and the food
supply becomes scarce as it has in
the recent dry spell, they migrate
threat of crop loss.
Before the chemical bug killer
was brought into play, groups of
farmers worked long hours over
the weekend scattering poisonous
bait. ' On the farm of William
Dolmage, on the 9th concession of
Hullett, the worm -fighters tackled
the job of baiting a 25 -acre field front wing.

the neighborhood, 30 men turned
out for a similar attack on a ser-
iously Infested grain field, and
baited it in a mase broadcasting
bee. On Saturday night nine men
worked until midnight to scatter
bait in a 12 -acre field where the
WOMB were chewing up the grain.
Cost of the spray treatment was
estimated at about $5.00 an acre,
allowing $3.00 to $4.00 for the cost
of chemical, and $1.00 to $2.00 for
the cost of spraying. Farmers who
stood to lose, to the ravages of the
army worm, oats that might yield
60 to 80 bushels an acre, thought
it good business to accept some
trampling by trucks, pay $5.00 an
acre, and save what they could.
The chemical is applied at the rate
of a half gallon per acre, accord-
ing to G. W. Montgomery, Huron
agricultural representative, who
has been aiding the fight.
• Arrangements for obtaining the
liquod were completed by C. A.
Reith, manager of Seaforth Farm-
ers Co-operative. First fields to be
treated were those on the Dalton
farm. The sprayers next attacked
the bugs on the Ken Thompson
farm.
Strangely enough the n'rmy worm
appears to be particular about
what it eats. Mr. Thompson said
the worms were crawling through
a nearby field of flax but they did
not touch that crop, In his field
of mixed oats and barley they
showed a definite preference for
the oats, he has discovered.
The poison shows an instantan-
eous effect upon the worms. Mr.
Thompson put a few on an empty
grain bag and sprayed them. They
immediately started dancing around
like jumping beans.
J. H. Follwell, Toronto, an ento-
mologist employed by the company
that manufactures the new chemi-
cal, toured the hardest -bit areas of
Hullett and McKillop on Tuesday,
and found that most of the grain
fields he visited had millions of
army worm eggs in the ground,
even in fields where there was yet
no great showing of worms or
worm damage. in one field a count
of worms showed 100 to the square
yard.
One of the hardest-hit fields in
the area is on the farm of William
Dolmage, where a good crop of
mixed grain has had more than
half the heads cut off by the nip-
ping action of the worms. The dam-
age appeared to be greatest where
the crop was thickest: one theory
was that the worms prefer fine -
stemmed and succulent plants, and
will flourish where the crop is
densest, and the stems the finest.
Worms also were showing a
fondness for the timothy, wherever
they found it beside a grain crop.
in the fence -rows beside infested
grain fields, the timothy heads
looked moth-eaten from the chew-
ing by the worms.
Corn and bean crops on the In-
fested farms were not showing
much sign of damage; for as long
as they can find succulent grain. or
ing the day they usually lie in a
partly curled position under lumps
of earth or ether cover. They
climb the plants to feed 'on leaves
and frequently cut off the heads of
grain. The adult insect is a
brownish gray moth with a single
white spot in the centre of each
under observation. Damage to the
truck was estimated at $600, and
that to the car $1,000.

the Ontario Provincial Pollee, is

The 'poisoh should be mixed
thoroughly with the bran by shov-
elling over on, a smooth dry con-
crete floor until all is green. Avoid
breathing the dust by tying a moist
handkerchief or other cloth over
the nose and around the head. The
molasses should be stirred into the
water and this then mixed with
the poisoned bran until it resent-
bles damp sawdust—crumbly but
not sticky. If desired, the poison
could be dissolved in the water
along with the molasses. The
amounts given above will prepare
sufficient bait to treat one acre.
Where the armyworms are in
spring grain or wheat, the bait
should be broadcast in the even-
ing by men, moving across the field
close enough together so that bait
can be spread to give almost com-
plete coverage of, ground surface.
If the armyworms are' moving
from one. field to another, plow a.
furrow with the straight edge to-
ward the crop to be protected.
Sprinkle a row of the poisoned
bait on the floor of the furrow. As
the poisoned bran dries out, fresh-
ly prepared bait may have to be
added.
Sprays or rust of DDT or aldrin
may be applied at the rate of two
pounds of the actual toxicant per
acre, but baits have usually prov-
en more effective and Less damage

Warning! The bait describer)
above is very poisonous to livestock,
poultry and man. Thus the usual
precautions should be observed. If
halt is lett over after the infested
field has been treated. spread it
thinly over the already baited
area.

The annual Brussels Lions Club
band tattoo was held Wednesday
night.
After watching a parade to the
park, the large crowd heard a pro-
gram of massed band numbers,
pipe band selections and individual
numbers.
Highlighting the tattoo was the
performance of the Goderich Girls'
Trumpet Band under the direction
of Don Jolley.
Other bands participating were
London Boys' and Girls' Band, Lis-

Fire Brigade Called
The accident occurred when the
Harvey truck, proceeding south,
and the car driven by Mr. Love,
were in collision opposite the Lever'
farm. The impact sent both v'e•
hicles into the southeast ditch of
the highway. The Harvey truck
burst into flames almost at once,

Hensall Kinsmen
Plan Bean Festival

that. more beans are handled is
Hensall in a year than in almost
any other place in Ontario, the

plane for an Ontario Bean Fe
val. to be held in the village
Labor Day. September 6.

tion to a bean supper in the arena,
a parade, a complete entertainment
program, and an industrial exhib-

the Huron County Industrial Com-
mittee, to assist in working out ar-
rangements for .the event.
