resigns,
reconsiders
For four days last week Brussels
was without a reeve but Monday
night Reeve Hank Ten Pas met
with council and agreed to with-
draw his resignation.
Reeve Ten Pas had submitted a
one -sentence letter of resignation
Thursday night and council used a
joint meeting of council and the
Public Utilities Commission which
had been called to consider
applications for the clerk-treasur•
er's job to consider it.
Before the meeting Deputy
Clerk -Treasurer Ruth Sauve read a
prepared statement in which she
expressed disappointment in the
council for its inability to get along
and said the council had so much to
doat this time with a clerk•treasur-
er to be hired, the budget and mill
rate to be set in the next two weeks
and major development projects
underway tobewithout a reeve,
She urged the councillors to
persuade Mr. Ten Pas to come back
for at least a month.
In addition she circulated a letter
which had been signed by 20
village residents and delivered to
the office late Monday afternoon
calling for Mr. Ten Pas to stay on as
reeve.
After considerable discussion
Mr. Tcn Pas was telephoned and
asked to come to the meeting and
explain why he had resigned.
Mr. Ten Pas said that his four
months on council had beenvery
disappointing to him'that he' had
hoped things would improve and

County proposes
new highway
About 50 arca residents attend-
ed a meeting at the Auburn Com-
munity Hall on Friday night to con-
sider the alternative routes propos-
ed by Huron County to replace
Bali's Bridge.
After those present had a chance
to peruse aerial photographs show-
ing the five alternatives and sec
profiles of the preferred route, Bob
Bell, chairman of the county's
roads committee called the meet-
ing to order, Bob Dempsey, county
engineer, explained that Ball's
Bridge comes under county juris-
diction because it Is on the
boundary between two townships
even though the roads 100 feet
from either side of the bride are
township roads.
Currently, he said, there are
only two other river crossings, one
at Auburn and one at Holmesville
'which means that large parts of
Colborne and Goderich townships
do not have easy access to the cast

had had to do at most recent
meetings didn't bother him, he
said, but he didn't know how to
handle the screaming, yelling and
cursing,
"it bothered me no end to the
point it was effecting my health and
my relations with everyone of
you". Given the situation he didn't
see any sense in trying to stick out
his three-year term and it was
better to get it ovcr with.
Commissioner Harold Bridges
asked if any of the problem was the
PUC and Mr. Ten Pas said no.
After questioning, he said he
was willing to withdraw his
resignation if people felt that could
make a new start.
Councillor Gordon Workman
replied, "It's very easy to blame
somebody else but there were a lot
of things that got kicked out of
order in here, -a lot of things that got
laughed off or kicked under the
table." '
He brought up the subject ofa
proposed use of the old fair-
grounds, (Railer in the meeting the
council, without Mr. Ten Pas, had
agreed toheara presentation to
turn the old palace at the old
fairgrounds into a stable,)
Councillor Betty Graber who
chaired the meeting, said that the
management committee seemed
to be one of the matters of
contention and she would agree to
the disbanding of the committee of
which she is chairman.
Councillor Workman said he
couldn't stand the constant bicker-
ing tither and couldn't face it for
three years.
Councillor Dave Boynton said
that problems arose because a lot

to Clinton Hospital fund
Blyth village councillors got the
answers they wanted about the

addition and Clinton hospital
fundraisers got the grant they were
looking for.
Last month council had postpon-
ed action on a request from the
hospital for a grant of $1,800 this
year and a similar grant next year.
Instead council had asked that
representatives from the hospital
explain more about the project and
how they had arrived at the
allocation they were asking Blyth
to give.
Appearing at Blyth council on
Tuesday night last week, Doug
Coventry, former hospital admini-
strator and chairman of the
fundraising committee and Bar-
bara Howson, Blyth member of the
Clinton Hospital Board of Direc-
tors, outlined the plans. The
addition will provide a scven•bcd
obstetrical wing, Barbara Howson
explained which will allow for
a more natural birthing environ-
ment for mothers. There will be
two labour delivery rooms equipp-
ed with birthing beds so that
mothers will not have to be moved
from the labour room to a delivery
room. In addition there will be a
sterile delivery room for more
difficult cases.
Mrs. Howson explained that
Doctors Steed and Salisbury and
their expertise in obstetrics has
drawn people from all over the
county to have their babies at the
Clinton hospital. More difficult
births which would formerly have
gone to London hospitals will be
able to stay closer to home with the
facilities offeredby the new
addition, she said.
Once the addition is completed,
the chronic care section of the
hospital will be moved into the arca
formerly occupied by the obstetri-
cal department. This will improve
the chronic cart facilities, moving
them into an arca more easily
evacuated in cast of emergency
and will be better in terms of noise,
That move will free up the
former chronic care area for dining
facilities for chronic care patients.
Presently there arc 34 active
beds and 13 chronic care beds at
the Clinton hospital.
Total cost of the project is
$800,000 and S400,000 will be
providcdbytheOntarioMinistryof
Health. A further S150,000 will be
paid by Huron county.
Of the remainder, $48,000 has
been budgeted to come from the
mu nicipal ities scrycd by the hospi-
tal
Mr. Convcntry explained that
since Dr. Hay has come to Blyth,
'admissions from Blyth have in•
creased to 6.5 per ccnt of total
admissions compared to 5.48 per
cent before. Because some pa-
tients using the hospital are from
Huronvlew and some from other
communities that already have
their own hospitals and would not
be likely to donate to Clinton
hospital, the cost formula was
divided among the 85 per cMtt of
the hospital users from arca
Thus, Mrs. Howson explained,
the costing formula took the
original allocation to municipall-
les of $48,000, divided it by 85
percent and multiplied by the 6.5
per cent of users from Blyth for a
total allocation to Blyth of $3,600:
This in turn was spread over two
years for a cost of 51,800 per year.
Reeve Albert Wasson asked if
this was a one-time cost or if it was
just the first of a number of
additions planned for the hospital,
Mrs. Howson said that there are
other projects being considered
such as a new operating room but
nothing as large as this project,
Mr. Convcntry said that after the
hospital was nearly closed several
years ago there were a lot of things
needed to bring it back up to
today's standards.
Councillor Bill Manning congra-
tulated the representatives on
their presentations saying it was
nice to have such a presentation
from Clinton since Wingham
hospital had always made a
presentation when they were
undergoing an expansion.
Later in the council meeting
council voted to grant S900 in June
and another $900 in December to
meet this year's allocation,

Kitchener to Londesboro but there
is a gap before the system picks up
again at Bcnmiiler. The replace-
ment for Ball's bridge gave the
opportunity to do something about
that, he said.
He said the existing bridge has
been posted with 2 tonne load
limits after Ken Dunn of B, M. Ross
and Associates engineering firm
had measured the beams, etc. and,
taking into account the possible
deterioration of the materials, had
decided the two tonne limit was the
safety limit. Later the Ministry of
Transport and Communications
had tested the bridge using
weightsonamulti-axled truck.The
truck had held 32 tonnes but by the
time the MTC took into account the
number of axles and the fact the
truck was barely creeping across
the bridge and the regular traffic.
goes considerably faster (putting
more stress on the brid'ge),
recommended two tonnes be the
limit for a two -axle vehicle and
more weight could be allowed for
more axles: •
Theold Ball's Bridge is being
considered by the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture for possi-
ble heritage value and latest
correspondence says that there is
some value in it, Mr. Dempsey
said,
Kenn Dunn then explained to
the meeting the five alternatives
that have been considered. Alter-
natives four and five meant
virtually parralleling the old bridge
with another 50 meters up or
downstream. Both were not fa-
voured because they would mean
two bridges in the water within a
few feet of each other which might
cause ice build up problems. In
addition the new bridge would not
be part . of a good east -west
interconnecting road system, since
both would use the old township
roads..
three would see a
bridge built farther downstream to
connect with the Londesboro road
(Hullett concession 8 and 9) but
would use the old Colborne
township road and would require
considerable reconstruction a-
round the "little lakes" arca of
Colborne to make the road capable
of carrying more traffic which
would probably destroy this scenic
arca.
Alternative two would have seen
the original bridge replaced with a
new four -span bridge. The bridge
itself would cost SI,072,800 which,
with extra road work needed on the
approaches, would increase to
51,217,900, This alternative would
give no better road access since it
uses the old road, would destroy
the old Ball's Bridge and the scenic
drive around the Little Lakes if the
road was later upgraded to im-
prove traffic flow.
The preferred route is alterna-
tive one which would see a new
bridge built 1,5 km. south of the
current bridge and a new road built
as an extension of the Bcnmiiler
road which would cross the river
and link up with Hullett concession

S99. Later when she had a chance to
consider the purchase and com-
pare prices she discovered the
chicken nuggets cost about 43

Councillor Malcolm Jacobs said
what had upset him about the

decision against it at council (which
had never been made) but a clerk
going against council's wishes and
telling the people involved to see,

Councillor Workmansaid hewas

Blyth, Hullett study changes in dump operation
Blyth and Hullett township have
appointed a management commit-
tee for the joint operation of the
waste disposal site in Hullett
township and the committee's
report to Blyth village council last
week shows there may be some
• changes in the operation of the site.
The committee, chaired by
Hullctt Reeve Tom Cunningham
and including Hullett councillor
Victor Stackhouse and Blyth Coun-
cillors William Manning and Lloyd
Sippel recommended that all keys
to the dump be turned in and only
the dump attendant be given a new
key. The committee feels that it is
not fair to the site superintendent
to have to answer to the Ministry of
Environment irispcctors when he
doesn't have complete control of
who has access to the site. Village
council had some discussion as to
whether a key should be left with
other village or township officials
so that people who need to use the
site on short notice would be able to
get in. Councillor Manning ex-
plained that the provision was . and on Saturdays to give more

8.9 just south of the current
intersection with the Base Line.
Cost of the bridge alone is
estimated at 51,100,400 with the
additional roadbuilding (exclusive
of land and legal costs) increasing
the entire cost of the project to
51,888,400.
Mr. Dempsey explained that the
MTC has agreed to pick up 80 per
cent of the cost of the bridge as a
county -owned boundary bridge
and has agreed that if alternative
one is pursued, it would agree to
the new road becoming part of the
county road system, making it
subject to the same funding as
other county roads. He pointed out
that the Londesboro Road had been
a county road until it was turned
back to the township in 1963.
MTC had warned however that if
the old Ball's Bridge remains in
place it will never spend any money
on maintenance or replacement.
Mr. Dunn had estimated that the
bridge would averageS6,200ayear
for maintenance over the next 10
years. The county road committee
and county council had agreed that

the last county council meeting
that this was not an unreasonable
amount for the county to meet. The
old Ball's Bridge will remain where
it is for another 10 years but if
anything should happen to it the
county will not replace it.
Most questioning seemed to be
concerned with the extra traffic the
new county road would channel
through Benmillcr, particularly
salt and gravel trucks that Wright
use it as a shortcut over the
Highway 8 or County Road 25
routes in getting to Highway 401.
Hazlitt said that the road would see
higher speeds through the scenic
village.
Mr. Dempsey agreed but said he
doubted the big trucks would use
the route unless they were headed
for Kitchener since the road
connection with 401 was not as
good, But the notivation for
building the bridge and the new
route is to provide better service
locally, he said. The county is not
being pushed by MTC to build the
road to take traffic off Highway 8.
But Colborne reeve Russell Kern-
ighan agreed with the charge that

although he supports it. He will
benefit himself because currently
he is just six miles from Londes-
boro but legally can't take anything
but a car across Ball's Bridge with
its load limits to get to the village.
The new bridge will give hint much
quicker access to Londesboro for
feed, etc. he said but "I don't think
this highway is being built just for
ntc." He predicted in a few years
heavy truck use would increase
greatly.
Mr. Dempsey said that traffic
counts at the county road at
Winthrop lead him to believe the
trafficon the road will be about 400
vehicles a day, local and long-
distance traffic.
Hullett councillor Victor Stack-
house asked what consideration
has been given to the economic
spinoff of the new road. Mr.
Dempsey said the construction of
the bridge would create jobs but
the socio-economic impact had not
been studies.
Hullett Clerk -treasurer Harry
Lear said the proposed new road
had created a great deal of interest
in the Londesboro area and most
reaction, particularly from people
who use facilities like the feed mill
and the corn drying plant, is
positive.
No final action was taken by the
meeting.
Environment is insisting there be
no burning at arca waste sites.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel wondered
if co-ordinated action by all arca
councils affected could bring ac-
tion, "We're convinced that con-
trolled burning is best," he said,
Reeve Albert Wasson agreed,
saying that in a small community it
was possible to properly sort the
garbage out so that burnable
garbage can be burned with quick,
hot fires.
Councillor Tom Cronin warned
that if an open attempt to organize
resistance to the Ministry's regu-
lations fell through, "they're
going to be sitting on our doorstep
watching."
"I don'twanttoendangcrthe

beieve that what you're proposing
is better for the environment, you

Might is right
It came as a horrible shock to Canadians in general and the
federal government in particular to learn last week that a lot of
Americans aren't very happy about the prospect of free trade
with Canada.
The U.S. congressional committee in charge indicated it may
not go along with President Reagan's desire to open free trade
talks with Canada. They're upset with Canadian imports of
lumber and potatoes and hogs which they feel are unfairly
subsidized,
But the real fact is that the Americans arc out to use any lever
they can to get a better deal for themselves. Prime Minister
Mulroney may talk about wanting fairer trade but few
Americans use the term except as a way of trying to win their
point.
Ontario Corn Producers recently heard from a U.S. official
who answered Canadian farmers' concerns about massive aid
to American fanners in the new U.S. Farm Bill by warning
Canadians not to try to retaliate with countervailing duties or
there would be trouble.
"The whole integrity of the Congress is behind us," said
Allan Tank, a representative of the American National Corn
Growers Association warning Canadian growers. "Anyone
who wants to get into this war is certainly welcome."
What Mr, Mulroney and others forget is that while Mr.
Reagan may be a believer in free trade, Americans in general
arc in a very agressivc mood. They feel they've been kicked,
around too long and that goes for other countries who better
them in trade as much as it does Libyan terrorist raids.
Mr. Regan has whipped up American nationalism to take on
the Reds whether in Russia or Nicaragua. He has sicked his
navy bombers on the "mad dog" in Libya:
Americans have an attitude of having the "right" to be the
winners. They aren't too worried about being "fair".
Thanks to the writers
There's a big gap in our paper this week now that the hockey
season has finally ended and ball season hasn't yet begun.
One of the arcas we were most happy with in our newspaper
in the last few months has been the sports coverage. The
coverage hasn't been as complete as we would have liked it to be
in the Blyth and Belgraveareas but we did have one of the
liveliest sports sections around.
That was nocredittothecditorbut to the hard working sports
writers out there who did a super job. Special thanks for
coverage in the Brussels arca goes, of course, to Lois McArter
who made surejust about anything that wore hockey skates got
reported in the Citizen. But thanks goes too to the people who
provided the information to Lois. Special thanks goes to Rusty
Blades in Blyth who helped give real personality to the sport
pages.
Next hurdle for The Citizen is to Lind people who will give us
top flight coverage in sports over the summer months. The
challenge is even bigger because there are softball programs in
all the smaller centres we cover as well.
We want to give the best coverage we can but we need your
help. If youareacoachorparent, makesurewegetashort
acount of your team's activities. If we get your help maybe we
can meet the challenge tomake the summer sports pages just as
interesting as Lois and Rusty and all the others have made the
winter sports pages.
Why we need elections
The current mess in Brussels council (it would be nice to think
it's a past mess) is another example of just why we need
elections.
Certainly there is noguarantce that even if there had been an
election in Brussels last fall the village wouldn't have the same
conflicting personalities leading to the same split in council, but
at least people would have had a chance to choose for
themselves. As it is this council happened as much by accident
as anything else..
It doesn't matterwhichsideofthe split you side with, one has
to agree that having two factions on council that can agree on
little more than what time to set the next council meeting for, is
not a healthy situation.
When there is an election; the voters at least get a chance to
look at the potential councillors, see who might lean in this
direction or that, see if there might be conflicts of personalities
and then make a choice. The result might make no difference
but at (cast people would have had a chance to have their say.
Let's hope that when election limy, rolls around in 1988 (and
let's hope not before), more people will offer themselves for
council and offer a real choice.

U [dhe world view
from Mabel's Grill.
1
There are people who will tell
you that the important decisions in
town are made down at the town
hall. People in the know, however
know that the real debates, the real
wisdom reside down at Mabel's
Grill where the greatest minds in
the town (if not in the country)
gather for morning coffee break,
otherwise known as the Round
Table Debating and Filibustering
Society. Since not just everyone
can partake of these deliberations
we will report the activities from
time to time.
MONDAY: Julia Flint said she was
reading in the paper that it now
costs $300,000 to raise a kid from
the time he's born until the time
he's finished university.
Put that together with the fact
that hundreds of kids get kidnapp-
ed never to be returned and the
kidnappers must sure be pretty
stupid, she figures.
•Tim O'Grady says there are
people who arc even worse.
Imagine the people who hire
lawyers to go to court at great
expense to fight over the custody of
children when it means if you win
you get to pay out all that money, he
said.
News briefs
from Blyth
council
Council said at its meeting last
week there there arc no regulations
to affect the operation of an arcade
in the location now occupied by
"the Kitchen Cupboard". Mrs.
Pat Lucas had asked if there were
any licences required. Although
council did not have any regula-
tions to cover the facility, it did
express concern about the hours
the arcade night keep and about
the amount of money some young
people might be tempted to spend
in such an establishment.
A report from the Ministry of the
Environment informed council
that tests on the two village wells
showed one of the wells with a
higher than recommended level of
iron. Clerk Larry Walsh said that
the PUC felt one of the causes could
be that the well in question hadn't
been used for a week and the
concentration .may have been
higher than normal. Normally
pumping is switched between the
two wells every two or three days.
WEDNESDAY: Billie Bean said he
was down in the big city the other
night and people were lined up
around the block for tickets to
Wrestelmania. Everybody was
paying big bucks to watch Hulk

Writer supports pool
THE EDITOR:
As a citizen and taxpayer of the
Township of Grey 1 was greatly
disturbed by the report of the
Brussels council meeting in the
April 9, 1986 edition ofThe Citizen.
1 felt it necessary to reply to some of
these statements and opinions.
The Brussels Lions Club has
pledged to pay for the full cost of
the pool, including interest. Do
councillors Workman and Jacobs
doubt the word and the integrity of
the Brussels Lions Club?
Brussels is not stuck, as Mr.
Workman states, backing the pool
committee. It is ajoint venture
under the Recreation Committee
which consists of the three munici-
palities of Brussels, Grey and
Morris. Each municipality contri-
butes to the Recreation fund.
Councillor Workman repeatedly
says that he is not against the pool.
If this is true, then why does he
continue at every opportunity to
thwart the successful completion
of this project? Is councillor
Workman trying to brainwash (a
term he has used very lightly) the
people of Brussels with half truths
and innuendo,
When the present council was
elected the pool project had
already been approved. It is the
responsibility of this council to
uphold that commitment just as the
Lions Club must uphold theirs. if
the word of the Brussels Council is
no good from one year to the next
then who will want to do business
with them?, There is a serious
question of credibility at stake
here.
I would like to point out to Mr.
Jacobs that this project will bring
five new jobs with It. These
positions will be filled by young
people, an age group that desper-
ately needs more jobs. The village
will also benefit through the sale of
its water and hydro, etc. Lastly,
you can not convince me that
mothers bringing children in for
lessons will not stop and do some
shopping here.
No one is giving any money
away. The Recreation Committee
has been alloted funds from each of
this three municipalities. Under
Recreation's budget the pool will
be allowed a certain amount of
money as will the arena, minor
hockey, baseball, figure skating

and any other recreational endea-
vor.
When the arena was built did
Brussels have the moncy in the
bank? Of course not. The arena was
built on a hope and a prayer and it
was the co-operation and dedica-
tion of the people of Brussels, Grey
and Morris that made it a reality.
We now need the same co-opera-
tion and community spirit to make
the pool a success.
The Lions Club is giving the
community a first rate facility free
of charge. It is now time for those
people in public positions to stop
their complaining and to get
behind the pool and help make it
the success it deserves to be.
if Mr. Workman continues to be
so opposed to the pool then the
right and honourable thing for him
to do is to resign as Chairman of the
Recreation Committee and voice
his opposition from the floor, not
from the Chairman's chair.
MRS. M. VAN KEULEN
THE EDITOR:
"Council never needed two
meetings before and the councillor
didn't think they needed two
now." It's a statement that by itself
doesn't generate much discussion.
However, it doesn't represent an
underlying attitude, a negativism
and resistance to change, which
tends to permeate small communi-
ties.
Put a question to anyone in any
organization as to why something
is done in a particular way and the
answer you frequently get is
"that's the way it has always been
done."
it is a fact, not an illusion that
change is inevitable. Whether we
like it or not, changes are related to
social conditions, economic condi-
ions, population movement, etc.
Take a look at any small community
in the last 10 years and ask the
residents how much things have
changed. They'll tell you that
"only tight years ago we had five
grocery stores, three hardware
stores, three hotels, two clothing
stores, a dry goods store, a shoe
store etc., and now - well you know
the answer." In the case of some
unfortunate villages - no stores -
period.
Dying towns and villages, creat-
ed by numerous changes arc
everywhere. Rural population is
way down, there is no longer one
family per 100 -acre farm. Indu-
stries and businesses which were
essential tocommunitics years ago
are no longer needed or are forced
out of business by large corpora-
tions.
Things changel It's a fact of life.
We, the citizens, have a respon-
sibility tocnsure that our commun-
ities change too. We must always
look to the future and encourage
progress.
At municipal election time we
have a responsibility to choose
councillors to manage and repre-
sent our communities in a progrcs-
Heart Fund exceeds goal
for Huron County
Barney Goldsmith, Campaign
Chairman of the Huron County
Chapter of the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario announced
last week, following meetings with
the County Treasurer Mrs. Jean
Hildebrand of Seaforth, that the
Heart Fund canvas has exceeded
its goal of $45,000 by 13,500.
Campaign workers arc elated
with the success of the canvass and
the generosity of the people of
Huron who have demonstrated
their commitment to the work of
the Foundation. According to
Goldsmith, these significant re-
sults are due to the dedication and
enthusiasim of many people; but,
notably because of the sustained
effort of the Town and Arca Chairs
who assumed a major portion of the
work load.
Special mention was also accord-
ed to the local media and ad
sponsors for making the Heart
Foundation's work visible in the
community during February.

sive and positive way. We need
councillors who are intelligent and
realistic enough to know that they
must do things to encourage
industry, business and people to
locate in our community. We must
choose pcoplc who are open -mind -
cd, able to compromise, able to
give thoughtful deliberation to
decisions, who, once a decision is
made, do everihing in their power
to ensure that goal is accomplished
quickly and smoothly.
We must, once council is
appointed, give credit where credit
is due and challenge negative,
regressive actions.
With that thought in mind, let
me on behalf of numerous
Brussels, Morris and Grcy citizens
first commend Brussels, Morris
and Grcy in regard to the Industrial
Commission and Recreation
Agreement, all progressive and
positive moves looking to the
future of our communities. An
expression of gratitude gots to
those people responsible for the
creation and operation of our new
newspaper "The Citizen", to
those people responsible for the
building of the Brussels, Morris
and Grcy Community Centre, who
had to challenge negative attitudes
to move ahead, to the ladies on the
Recreation Catering Group who
help finance recreation, to the
Optimists for their support of
recreational youth and community
activities, to the Curling Club for
their 54,000 donation to recreation,
to the Legion, Oddfellows, Rebe-
kahs, church organizations, minor
sports, figure skating association,
coaches and all those people who
volunteer their time and money in
the name of community better-
ment.
Lastly, let nrethank the Lions for
all their community services past
and present, but in particular for
their insight, time, hard work and
money in providing this commun-
ity with a pool and in doing so will
provide another form of recreation
and youth employment.
Citizens it's up to you. Encour-
age and praise those people and
organizations who adapt to change
and try to make this community
better and challenge and stand up
to those who resist change in a
negative and regressive step back-
wards.

but is being challenged by Wayne

arc the teams captained by Lor-

In addition to points being
awarded for personal attendance
and the bringing of new people,
stress is being placed also upon the
memorization of Scripture, with
the result that, all over the church,
people can be heard quoting the
verse for the week. One of the

has resulted In the need to relocate

. fr:'•l. .gt'4R14 au-pb+err.. ,,. .•. .. .. ... .. . ..
B111 Brady was the featured speaker at th e annual dinner and meeting of Town and Country Homemakers.
Head table guests Included Maggie and Bruce MacDonald, board chairman Laurette Stegner and
executive director Jean Young.
BYYVONNEREYNOLDS
"This coming year will be an
exciting challenge", executive
director Jean Young told those
attending the Town and Country
Homemakers' annual dinner
meeting, held April 8 in the
Goderich township hall at Holmes•
villa
Young was referring to the still -
unknown effects on the agency of a
program announced in January by
the provincial government to help
frail, elderly and disabled people
• stay in their homes instead of being
forced into institutions.
Huron County is one of six sites
selected for the pilot project, which
will fund both improvement in a
variety of home and community
support systems for needy seniors,
and expand the homemaker ser-
vice now provided by the social
services and health ministries,
Under this new program, appli-
cants will only have to demonstrate
need; current recipients of Home-
maker services must qualify
through financial or health needs
tests which have denied service to
some who wished tostay in their
own homes.
Board chairman Laurctta Siegn-
er noted in her report that removal
of the means test could result in an
increase of as much as50 percent in
the number of seniors taking
advantage of the homemakers':
services.
In anticipation of the expected
increase in demand, 22 new
homemakers are now being train-
ed, Young said. She predicted the
government program may mean a
reversal of the previous ratio
whereby private clients purchased
66.5 percent of the agency's
services, and the Home Care
Program accounted for 31.5 per-
cent. (Allocations from the provin-
cial ministry of community and
social services allowed Town and
Country Homemakers to subsidize
the rate charged to private clients
through Home Support for the
Elderly.)
Seaforth's Betty Cardno, whose
efforts contributed to the forma-
tion of Town and Country Home-
makers, said the Integrated Home-
maker Program, administered by
the Huron County health unit and
the board of health, is due to begin
May 1. Cardno said the program is
strictly homemaking, not home
Care.
"This program is designed to
supplement rather than replace
what friends and relatives are
• doing", Cardno observed.
Service will be purchased from
Town and Country Homemakers,
whose trained Homemakers will
provide emotional support and
encouragement while assisting
elderly and disabled persons with
meal planning, shopping, clean-
ing, laundry, ironing, personal
cart, assistance in walking and
getting in and out of bed, eating,
dressing, and other activities
pertaining to normal living and
maintaining the individual's
health and well being.
Sicgner said that as Huron
County has been chosen as one of
six test site areas, the Town and
Country Homemakers board of
directors will have to be "vigilant
in estimating procedures, as our
handling of the new program will
doubtless affect government im-
plementation of this program."
Inclusion in the provincial pro-
ject is another milestone for Town
and Country Homemakers, which
has grown rapidly since its found-
ing in1978.Lastyearapproximate-
ly 80 Homemakers hired within
Huron County supplied 61,502
hours of service to residents of this
county. The annual budget has
increased 62 percent in the past
five years to over $490,000 in 1985,
making the agency a major contri-
butor to the economic health of
Huron County.
Guest speaker at the annual
meeting was Bill Brady, founder
and president of Transplants
International. Brady cited some
touching examples of organ reci-
pients who had gone from near
death to a new experience of l i fe
after receiving a liver or heart
transplant.
Hullett school. students
win at 4th Science Fair
Hullett Central Public School
held its annual science fair on April
4 with students from Grade 7 and 8
entering a number of interesting
displays.
The winners in the physical
Grade 7 group were Lana Law-
rence, third place; Kevin Wright,
second place and Mike Merncr,
first place.
In the Grade 7 biological section
the winners were: Tracy Kennedy
and Shane Taylor tied for second
and in first place was Shannon
Duizer.
In the Grade 8 physical division,
the winners were: Richard Wilts,
third place; Murray Whyte, second
place and Darlene Buffinga, first
place. In the biological section
Anita Gross was the winner with
Leona Cunningham placing se-
cond and Theresa Knox in third
place.
The school sold cheese to raise
money for student council uses.
The students raised approximately
51,200.
Mrs. Cooke's Grade 5 class is
currently writing to their penpals
at Brookside Public School near
Lucknow. -
Public attitudes have changed,
Brady said, and people no longer
think the subject ghoulish. Brady
read two letters with the same
theme - a beloved family member
had been killed in tragic circum-
stances, and the writers regretted
not donating organs that would
have given life to someone else,
and meaning to the loved one's
death. Brady said there are still not
enough donors, and only 25 out of
100 sign the consent form on their
drivers' licences. He said four little
children arc waiting now at
University Hospital for liver trans-

TOWNSHIP OF GREY
Public Meeting
CONCERNING A PROPOSED
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the
Township of Grey will hold a public meeting on Tuesday,
May 20, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. In the Council Chambers to
consider a proposed zoning by-law under Section 34 of the
Planning Act.
As directed by the Ontario Municipal Board, the proposed
zoning by-law will amend Zoning By-law 12-1985 to alleviate
an objection lodged by the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources. Specifically, the by-law adds "a wayside pit" to
Section 8.1 as a permitted use in a Natural Environment
[NE1] zone.
The proposed zoning by-law will also delete from Zoning
By-law 12-1905 two redundant sections [Sections 3.28.1.4.
and 24.1.3.] pertaining to electric power facilities.
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make
written or verbal representation either in support of or in
opposition to the proposed zoning by-law.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed
zoning by-law is available for inspection between 9:00 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m. at the Township Office.

Brussels pool on schedule, committee says
Everything is right on schedule
for the May 15 completion date of
the Brussels swimming pool and
now is the time to put the
fundraising drive over the top,
members of the Brussels Lions
Swimming Pool committee said
last week.
Gerrit Van Keulen, RR 2,
Bluevale, chairman of the building
committee said the snow last week
had had little effect on the project
as most work is now on the interior
of the building. The solar collectors
to heat the pool will probably be
installed early this week. The
addition to the change house and
equipment room are both up and all
undergroundplumbingis installed
in the change and washrooms with
the cement flours poured.
Soon the pipes will be pressor-
ized and, once all possible Teaks
have been found, the deck around
the pool will be poured. Mr. Van
Kculen said the contractors involv-
ed
nvolyed in the project have been aware of
the deadline on the project and
eager to comply.
At the moment, all seems go for
the May 15completionand the first
swimming lessons are scheduled
to begin June 2. The solar heating
will help extend the season for the
pool and keep the water at a more
average temperature.
Meanwhile Bruce Hahn, chair-
man of fundraising reported that
the drive is one third of the way
toward the goal of $45,000. Now
with the final construction bills
coming in is the time for the
fundraising campaign to kick into
full gear, he said. He emphasized
that donations of all sizes arc
welcome and said donations have
ranged from 510 to 54,000 to date.
He said the committee is hoping to
avoid doing a door-to-door canvass
and is hoping that with the pool
opening in a little over a month,
supporters will now come forward
with their support.
Paul Mutter, chairman of the
pool committee said the final cost
of the pool will likely reach about
592,000, up from the original
S80,000 estimate. The Increase
involves quality, he said, because
the committee applied for and
received a 514,132 Wintario grant
for the village to help install
equipment which was not in the
original plans. This grant in
addition has meant that the
swimming pool will not use so
much of the village's Ontario
Neighbourhood Improvement Pro-
ject grant, allowing the village to
reallocate this money to other
projects in the village, he said.
The pool will be slightly narrow-
er than the original plan, 28 by 60
feet instead of30 by 60 feet, but the
deck area will be larger. Cost in this
arca will increase 51,800 over the
original estimate. Fencing increas-
ed 52,177 over the original esti-
mate because the new fence also
provides wind screen and privacy
instead of the plain chain-link
fence originally planned.
Costs of the drawings for the
project arc nearly triple the
original 51,000 estimat. Building
BRUSSELS MORRIS & GREY COMMUNITY POOL
Brussels Lions request your help to fill the pool
renovations are likely to be $11,000
over the original 516,000 estimate
because the size of the building has
been increased and there were
major roof renovations. On the
other hand, the cost of deck
equipment will likely be 58,000
below the original projection. Site
preparation, which was not consid-
ered in the original budget, will
cost 53,110.
A booth will be set up at the
Brussels Lions Tradefest on May 2
to 4 for anyone interested in
learning about the programs offer-
ed at the pool this spring.
Meanwhile Mr. Van Keulen
answered the charge made by
Councillors Malcolm Jacobs and
Gordon Workman that the cost of

E. Wawanosh special education classes relocated
BY RHEA HAMILTON-SEEGER
East Wawanosh students at-
tending special education classes
will be offered broader programm-
ing options next fall,
The Huron Board of Education
learned last Monday that Linda
Train's class at East Wawanosh
will be relocated to Wingham
Public School next fall where a
greater level of staff support and
programming options will be
available.
Parents ofstudcnts involved will
be able to learn more about the
proposed move from the principal.
Mso starting in September will
be the addition of a grade seven
class at Vanastra Public School, It
is presently operating as a kinder-
garten to grade six facility. The
local community has been interest -
cd in having grades 7 and 8 at
Vanastra. Grade 8 will be included
in the 1987 school year.
The Board agreed to support the
Basic Literacy Programs in the
county with a needs survey and
• advertisement campaign. Joan
Van den Broeck reported that the
Education Committee did not want
to infringe on the autonomy of the
group but would like to see the
board 'nurture' the program.
In Godcrich the Adult Basic
Literacy program is run by Pat
Spence and volunteer tutors. 1t is
financed by donations. There are
11 adult students' meeting once a
week.
Carol Simons Is in charge of the
English as'a Second Language
program. This is geared to new
Canadians learning English.
There are nine students and one
teacher in Clinton, 32 students and
four teachers at Godcrich and 12
students with one teacher at
Exeter.
The Board passed the 1986.87
calendar. it includes a minimum of
185 teaching days which includes
up to 15 days for secondary school
exams and an extra 9 days for
Blyth Block Parents see film
The Block Parent Committee
presented a Canadian film,
"Children Take Care" at the Blyth
Public School April 8. A small
group of parents and children were
in attendance. The film dealt with
sexually abused children and
drinking and driving.
According to 1983 statistics 100
thousand children cachyearwill be
sexually abused in Canada. One in
four girls and one in ten boys, all
before the age of sixteen. Half the
abusers will just fondle their
victims with the other 40 - 50
percent will have intercourse or
attempt intercourse,
The youngest recorded victim
was a three month old baby. Most
children never tell because they
don't think they will be believed
and they don't know how to tell
others what has happened to them.
Three Stranger Questions Your
Children Should Ask are;
a) Do I have a Yes or No feeling
about this person?
b) Does someone 1 know and trust
know where I am?
c) Can I get help if 1 need it?
Sexual offenders prey on, quote,
"good children". They use bribery
and flattery to get then to do what
they want. It is important to
educate children. Body language's
important. Looking strong, feeling
strong and saying, "No" will be a
deterrent. Getting your child
involved in programs to keep hint
physically fit will give your child
confidence in his ability to handle
certain situations. itisimportanl to
rehearse a safety plan.
If your child has been sexually
abused there are five things you
should do. Tell your child:
I) 1 believe you;
2) l'nt glad that you told me;
3) 1t is not your fault)
4)1 am sorry this happened to you;
5)1 am going to do something about
it.
At all tines you should know
where your child is and who he or
she iswith. Your child should know
where his parents are. Start
looking as soon as you realize your
child is missing. The younger the
child the sooner you should start
looking.
Everyday 71 children don't conic
home because of car accidents and
of those, eight never come home,
Twenty-six thousands are injured
every year, 3,000 will die. These
arc Canadian statistics. Half of the
children between the ages of 5. 19
who die, die in motor vehicle
accidcnt5. Inexperienced drinking
and inexperienced driving is the
No. 1 cause. A university professor
suggests:
a)waiting until age i Stoget license
b) taking certified drivers training
c) should be able to operate vehicle
fully - buy insurance, gas, etc.
d) show parents they arc responsi-
ble.
professional development.
Board members were concerned
that PD days be scheduled when
there were other educational
events taking place where the
parents could take the students.
i.e, Royal Winter Fair. Robert
Allen, Director of Education, said
there is a lot of intense lobbying
from various fall fair groups etc,
whowould like tobe considered the
educational option on PD days.
Forty-six art students from F. E.
Madill won over S26,000 worth of
prizes Including airline tickets
return to Expo, three-day passes to
Expo, Expo T-shirts, and Pacific
Western flight bags. The board
learned of the win and that the
students are now looking at fund
raising for ground transportation
and accommodation while in Van-
couver this summer.
While on the matter of trips the
board reviewed its conferences
policy and approved a motion to
keep the thcprescntpolicy with the
executive hearing any requests
from interested board members
and thcn determining the request.
The policy now allows any
member ofthe board and senior
administrator to attend a confer•
enccorconvention in the province.
Outside the province the restric-
tion is to the chairman, one
member of the board and Director
of Education or delegated admini-
strator.
The board approved the move to
eliminate the use of "Trainable
Retarded" in reference to the
schools Golden Circle which will
now be affiliated with Wingham
PublicSchool, Huron Hopewith J..
D. McCurdy, Huron Park; and
Queen Elizabeth with Victoria
Public School, Godcrich. While the
spirit of the move was good, the
problems arising from this were
evident when referring to staffing
formulae reference to these three
facilities was made by their
previous names.
When considering enrolments
and staffing for both elementary
and secondary schools, the figures
indicate an increased enrolment
and therefore more teachers. In the
county elementary schools should
sec 5,933 students up from 5,910
this year. Over323 teachers will be
nccdcd. In the secondary level
there will be 3,771 students down
from 3,776 and 242.5 teachers will
be needed.
In the complaint department the
board approved a policy concern-

Looking at nitrogen for better winter wheat
BYJOHNHEARD
SOILS AND CROPS SPECIALIST
ONTARIO MINISTRY OF
AGRICULTURE AND FOOD
Presently producers are plann-
ing to apply their Nitrogen and red
clover seed to the winter wheat
crop. Let's work through the logic
involved inmaking the'right. N
application decision.
In order for N topdressing to be
profitable, an adequate wheat
stand must survive the winter.
Early topdressing will promote
filtering, but the plants must be
there. So far most stands look
good, so we'll assume N applica-
tion is warranted.
Which nitrogen source should
be used? Theoretically, there are
several factors involved in choos-
ing the most efficient N source.
Agronomically though, Ontario
research has been able to measure
no yield differences between
spring applied N sources to winter
wheat, so fertilizer should be
chosen on the price per unit N.
Dividing the cost of fertilizer by
the percent N in the product gives
us the cost per unit N of the
fertilizer. If after comparing sever-
al sources of N we find the cost per
unit N 10 be similar • then we may
wish to consider some individual
characteristics of the fertilizer.
These characteristics of N fertilizer
tend to center around N loss prior to
plant use.
Urea is known to lose some
ammonia N through volatilization
when surface applied to soils that
are warm and dry. Fortunately,
few of our springs arc warm and
dry enough to facilitate much loss.
Since UAN or '28 percent N is a
combination of urea and ammon-
ium nitrate, there also exists some
potential for urea N loss through
volatilization. Some fertilizer com-
panies are marketing an acid form
of UAN that slows this volatiliza-
tion reaction for a small additional
cost per unit N. This past week a
Guelph researcher presented a
sccnerio where even ammonium
nitrate losses may occur duc to
denitrification if the upper 1.2" of
soil is waterlogged and the soil is
warmed by the sun.
Gosh! Fellows could lose sleep
over their selection of N fertilizer
source, Thank goodness, which-
ever one of the above sources that
they do select, they will get the
same yield. If we really want to see
N fertility effects on yield, we

should look at timing ofapplica•
tion, retool N and spread patterns,
but not sources.
Yield penalties for untimely N
application occurs when we apply
N too late. N should be applied in
April, and timing will depend more
on soil conditions than on my
advice on dates or growth stages. l
mean N will go on in early April
when the ground is frozen, or in
mid to late April when the ground is
sufficiently dry, A reminder is that
the best catches of red clover will
be from the early seeding period
when the soil is frozen. •
Research from Ridgctown
(R.C.A,T.Ishows no yield increase
due to splitting the N application
when total N rates exceed 70 lbs.
N/acre. This is for soft white winter
wheat. For hard red winter wheats
needing 160.190lbs. N/acre, a
split or multiple split application is
preferred.
The nitrogen rate for soft white
winter wheat varies with your yield
goal. In Publication 296 the
recommendation for an 82 bu./
acre crop at current nitrogen prices
is 100 lbs. N/acre. For a 67
bu./acre crop, 80 lbs, N/acrc is
recommended. Remember to de-
duct your fall applied nitrogen
from this total. Last year several
Huron•Perth farmers produced
100 bu./acre crops with the 100 Ib.
N/acre rate. This indicates that if
the growing season is favourable,
your yields arc not tightly con-
strainedbyNrates. Weare warned
that high N rates may contribute
more to protein content than to
yield. If soft white winter wheat
protein levels exceed 10.5 percent,
then it is higher than the milling
industry prefers. Exceeding N
rates in Publication 296 could lead
to this problem.
The most visible wheat response
to N occurs when applications arc
overlaps or misses. Respective
responses will be lodging and low
yields. Technology such as airflow

applications tor dry fertilizer and

reduce the variation on spread
pattern, traditionally experienced
with spinnersprcaders. This effect
on spread pattern, and the conven-
ience of quick, custom application,
should be weighted heavier than N

Nell McGavin [loft] and son Brian represent two of the three generations that have seen tremendous
growth In the farm implement business since Gordon McGavinstarted selling equipment from his Walton
area farm In the mid 1930's. Last year the company's sales topped S4 million.
50 years at McGavin's sees
many changes in business
There are few better indications
of the massive changes in agricul-
ture in Huron county over the past
half -century than McGavin Farm
Equipment Ltd. which this year
celebrates 50 years of serving
county farmers.
It was in the mid - 1930's that J. J.
McGavin, well-known farmer and
drover helped his son Gordon
McGavin set up a machinery sales
from the family farm in McKillop
Township, south of Walton. Young
Gordon was making a name for
himself in those days with his
Fordson tractor and Oliver plow
winning plowing matches, includ-
ing the Canadian championship in
1936.
The young plowman began
selling the Oliver plows that he was
helping to popularize. The other
main items in those pre-war years
for farm implement sales were
tractors, cultivators and manure
spreaders.
Today the list of equipment sold
by MeGavin's goes as long as your
arm: tractors, plows, gravity box-
es, snowblowcrs, round balers,
haybincs, forage boxes, corn
heads, sprayers and much more.
Sales records show the iricreas-
cd eost of niachlncry In the farming
business too. In 1937 a new tractor
and plow from McGavin's cost
5850. Today the average tractor
sold by the compa ny costs about
520,000 and the company special-
izes in smaller and medium sired
tractors.
Annual sales records from 1953
show gross sales of 5104,807. By
1985 the total batt climbed past the
54 million mark.
Of course the cost of doing
business for the company itself has
alsoincrcased, Neil McGavin, who
took over the business from his
father in 1963, points out.
In 1942 the entire cost of wages
for the year totalled 52,308. In 1985
the payroll for the company was
just a hair under 5240,000. Of
course the staff has also increased
in numbers since then. Today there
arc 15 employees. Back in 1947
while his father was still operating
the business from the farm, there
was a lot of equipment sold but
there was only one hired hand ...
and he also helped with the
milking.
Neil sees 1973 as the turning
point as far as much of the inflation
in costs is concerned. In 1973 a
mechanic made 53 per hour and, to
cover the costs of tools, etc.,
McGavin's charged his time out at
S6 per hour. Today mechanic's
labour charges run at 522.90 per
hour but the company has to pick
up costs for so many extras like
uniforms, Workmen's Compensa-
tion and so many other small costs
that add up. A recent memo from
the dealers association, Nell says,
told dealer they had to get the
message out to their customers
because barbers today earn more
than mechanics.
But if the cost of labour has
increased, how about the cost of
things like telephone services,
Until about 1952 the cost of
telephone was paid yearly on the
taxes and amounted to about 530
per year. Today the company runs
a telephone bill of about 51,100 per
month,
The searching through old files
In preparation for the 50th anniver-
sary celebrations has brought to
lightothergcros. Gordon McGavin
was one of the early supporters of
CKNX radio and was a friend of
station founder Doc Cruikshank.
Nell recently called up the station
and said he thought he'd been
overcharged because he had been
charged 540 for a commercial but
he had an earlier bill in his hand
that said radio ads cost only SI.
When the person at the station
asked what the date on the bill was
he said 1952. attestation was very
interested to hear of the hill
because all CKNX's old records
were destroyed in the fire in the
1960's.)
In the early years Gordon
McGavin was a Cockshutt dealer
but the marriage ended in divorce
in 1958. McGavin's started selling
the new, imported Nuffield tract-
ors and Cockshutt issued an
ultimatum: sell only their tractors
or lose the dealership. Later, after
Gordon McGavin dropped the
dealership, the company official
who made the ultimatum was fired
and the company came back to
Gordon asking hint to reconsider
but by that time he had discovered
how much easier it was to deal with
smaller companies than the big
ones and wanted no part of it. Thc
policy continues to this day with
McGavin's dealing with a wide
range of companies for the many
different kinds of machinery they
sell.
Neil recalls recently discussing
taking on a dealership for a major
implement company and being
told that one of the prerequisites
was that he put up a new 53,000
sign advertising their name. When
he refused, they refused.
Today the company is located in
the old Walton school house which
has been enlarged over the years
but still is not the kind of
expensive, modern showplace

require their dealers to build.
The McGnvins moved their
operation to Walton from the form
location in 1952 and located on the
corner of County roads 25 and 12,
the main corner of the village. In
1963 the move was made to the
present location in a scheme that
was a story in itself.
People in the Walton area had
decided they wanted to build a new
school. The provincial government
had slapped a freeze on new school
construction but said any school
that had already started construc-
tion or purchased land for a new
school could proceed. Gordon
McGnvin purchased the land on

OFA rejects
commodity
price -based
mortgage
plan
The Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture's board of directors, in its
monthly meeting, unanimously
rejected a fcdcral plan for commo-
dity price -based mortgages.
"Michael Wilson's budget
speech announcement led farmers
and consumers to believe that
farmers now have access to 6
perccnt money. This was out and
out misrepresentation on the part
of the fcdcral govcrnmcnt. The
fine print tells the real story," said
Harry Pelisscro, OFA president.
The House was not told • as
budget papers released later re-
vealed- that farmers would have to
actually take on n mortgage at 14
3/8 percent (two percent higher
than the current rate for FCC
loans). "Rather than giving inter-
est rate assistance to farmers, this
program actually charges a two
percent penalty to enroll in it,"
commented Pclissero. •
While the mortgage is register-
ed at 14 3/8 percent a "sidc
agreement" will allow FCC to fix
the interest rate at 6-9 percent,
trying the principle to do comm.
(lily price fluctuations.
Government budget papers
staled that given a moderate price
increase in commodities, the pro -
gran( would not be any more or less
expensive than conventional fin-
ancing. Pelisscrosaid he inter-
prets this tomcat' that the program
would not cost the government any
money. "In fact, with the two
percent surcharge, it could actu-
ally nutkc money for the govern-
ment."
'I'Irc OFA board of directors
passed a resolution to "demand
that the federal minister of Agri-
culture and the FCC develop a
program which truly reflects a
legitimate loan program and re-
structured mortgage program,
using the S700 million outlined in
the budget, as promised in the past
-years, with affordable interest
rates."

stands, swapped it with the school
board, and overnight the school
board qualified to proceed with its
new school.
Gordon McGavin probably got a
lot of satisfaction in outmanoeuvr-
ing the Progressive Conservative
government for one of the few
victories the long-time Liberal was
able to claim for many years when
Tory domination was supreme
both federally and provincially in
Huron county. After many years of
working hard behind the scenes,
Gordon ran for election in 1963 and
turned the running of the company
over to Neil who had returned to
work for his fathcraftcr graduating
from University of Guelph in 1957.
One of the first headaches the new
young manager had to deal with
was the numbcr of farmers who
arrived and announced they had
worked on his father's election
campaign and expected an espe-
cially good deal because of it. More
than a few turned out not to even
live In the riding.
Today another generation of
McGavins is on the way up in the
organization. Last year Neil's son
Brian graduated from Guelph and
joined the company. Not that
business is new to Brian. He
already operated a successful
commercial baling business and
didS21,000worthofbusiness in his
first year. Nowa second son, Jeff is
also in the baling business.
The family lives on the farm
where the company originally
started out in the 1930's.
The McGavins plan a big
celebration of their 50th annivers-
ary on July 25th when thcy will
have a big open house at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com-
munity
om-
munity Centre showing off a big
selection of the goods they have for
sale. The rest of the plans are
imcomplete but probably there will
be some sort of recognition for the
many employees who have helped
build the company, Neil says. A
search of the employee records
shows there havcbccn 117cmploy
ccs with the company over the
years.

Consulting grows as farmers try to maximize profits
Tom Perry has fumed hleidea fora crop consulting company Into a company showing explosive growth as
farmers, looking for ways to Increase efficiency, toms to his soil testing and (ho Information stored on the
Auburn company's computers to try to glvo them a profit edge.
Crop consultant services are to
crop production what accountants
are to financial records says Tom
Perry, owner of Soilab the Auburn
crop consulting business that has
experienced explosive growth
since he started it three years ago,
Up until five years ago, crop
consulting services were almost
unheard of in Ontario, although
there was n U.S. based .firm
operating in the southern part of
the county. The services were
much more popular south of the
border where estimates are that in
the last 10 years 85 to 90 per cent of
cropland is under consultation.
The objective of the new firm
that was in the back of hismind for
several years was to offer the
farmer a range of services, many of
which, while they might be able to
carry out themselves, ninny farm-
ers just didn't have the time. Soil
testing, for instance, was available
through the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food but many
farmers weren't using it and others
weren't taking the right sampling
of their fields making the reports of
the soil tests less useful than they
could be. Many errors In analysis
can be because of poor sampling of
the field, he says.
When fccldmcn from n consult.
Ing firm like Soilab go out to a
farmer's field they have system of
taking soilsamples that gives (hent
a professional basis, Mr. Perry
says,
When the samples come back to
the company's lab there's another
benefit for the farmer -customer.
Soil samples sent away for analysis
can take up to five orsix weeks to be
returned, he says. Tests taken by
the Soilab technicians on a Friday
will be analysed and the printed
analysis is tothe farmer by the next
Friday.
But soil sampling and testing is
only the first step of the services n
crop consulting firm offers. Based
on the soil tests and the cropping
history of the field, the firm
prepares recommendations for the
farmers. Recommendations aren't
standard, Mr. Peel says. A fertili-
zer company or chemical company
may provide recommendations but
they are in the business of selling
fertilizer and chemicals and the
farmer may wonder about whose
interests are served. "Our only
motive is to help the farmer make
management decisions," he says.
The objective of the company is
to get the best possible return for
the farmer off each acre of land, he
saysand that may not always mean
getting the largest possible yield.
The best move for the farmer
instead may be in keeping his input
costs down.
Computers provide much of the
secret of the company's ability to
give farmers advice on how to get
the most off their land. Soilab has
collected 150,000 acres worth of
dutn over the last three years, he
says and by the end of this ycnr it
will be over 200,000 acres on
record. The more years and the
more acres are kept track of in the
computer, the better recommend-
ations can be given to the farmer.
"It's been time consuming and
expensive togutherbutnow it's
very valuable," he says.
One of the benefits of the huge
amount of land history stored in the
company's computer isthat the
recommendations they make are
localized to our own part of the
province, not more generalized as
OMAF recommendations would
be. In addition the farmer can
compare ycar.to-year records of
the tests on his own land and see
the health of his soil.

In addition the company has
stored information of the cropping
records of varieties and hybrids
and using the information they're
able to recommend the choice of
seed as well as the planting
population and seeding rates.
They are also able to recommend
what crop rotation or reduced
tillage will do for the crops. For
instance, the computer statistics
show that farmers can get a four to
five bushel yield advantage in the
second year by double -cropping
soybeans but the opposite is true
for corn where the first year corn is
planted on land will have a
nine -bushel advantage over any
other subsequent year corn is
planted in succession.
The low prices for farm commod•
ities have caused more and more
farmers to turn to consulting firms
such as Soilab. Tom Perry started
his firm three seasons ago with 30
or 40 customers, with 14,000 acres
under management. Today there
arc 230 customers and more than
50,000 acres so far this season
under management. The familiar
blue trucks of the company's
fccldmcn range over 35 different
townships as far south as Oxford
county but 80 per cent of their
business is in Huron county and
southern Bruce.

still joining up this spring. When-

soil analysis in the Auburn lab.
This information and a cropping
history of the field will be fed into
the computers and a written
recommendation of what hybrids
to use, seeding rates, fertlizer and
chemical uses and any other
matters such as reduced tillage
relative to the farmer's production
on that land will be given to the
customer.
Copies of the computer summar-
ies are provided to the farmer
because he may draw different
conclusions from the same data
than the Soilab consultants,
As the season progresses the
fieldmen are out "scouting the
field", evaluating the crop, look-
ing for weed or pest problems and
spotting possible nutrient defi-
ciencies.
"Because we're making recom-
mendations in specific inputs often
we budget the crop out," Mr. Perry
says.
• The company may also provide a
summary at the end of the season
showing the actual budget for the
field versus the projection made
before the crop was planted.
At the completion of the growing
season the history of each of the
farmer's fields is brought up to
date in the memory bank of the
Apple
stabilization
plan
announced
computer and a copy ot•the results
is given to the farmer. By that time
its the time for another cycle of soil
testing to begin again. Although
not everyone gets their soil tested
everyycar, Mr. Perry says, he likes
to sec the farmer get tests at least
for the first two or three years and
then at least every other year
thereafter.
Over the wi nter the lab is kept
busy processing the soil samples
until,February with the results
being fed into the computer and
new recommendations prepared.
By March the fieldmen are likely to
be out taking new samples again
and by April the first field scouting
of winter wheat will be going on
and from then on the scouting goes
on throughout the growing season.
Some farmers, hard-pressed to
make a profit on their crops these
days may question the need for the
additional cost of crop consultants.
"We have to justifyourfee to every
farmer," Mr. Perry says. "We
have to save him money or make
him money, But at the same time
we're providing a service and
information that must be paid for.
Ontario apple growers enrolled
in the 1984 Income Stabillization
Program are eligible to receive
S896,898 in payments, Agriculture -
and Food Minister Jack Riddell
announced here today.
The Ontario Farm Income Stabi-
lization Commission has been
given approval by the Ontario
Cabinet to allow the 250 farmers in
the program to receive a payment
of .4445 cent per pound of apple.
"These growers of fresh and
juice apples," said Riddell, "ire
given income protection from this
program between 90 and 95 per
cent of the previous five-year
average price plus any cash cost
changes during periods of low
prices."
The Ontario government will
cover two -third of the cost or .296
cent per pound while the other
third will come from the funds paid
by each producer enrolled in the
program.
About 201.8 million pounds of
apples were registered under the
stabilization program, which first
came into effect for the 1983 apple
crop.
Growers will be required to
provide documentation showing
the quantity of apples sold in the
1984 crop year as part of the
information that must be complet-
ed on a form sent to members of the
program before they receive pay-
ment.
130
We must be successful because
we have about a 95 per cent return
rate (of former customers)."
Farmers pay a per -acre fee to the
company but unlike some other
companies which require the
farmer to sign contracts for two or
three years, Soilab works one year
at a time, confident they can show
each farmer each year that they arc
important enough to his operation
that they should be kept on for
another season. So far this faith in
their own ability has worked very
well but it can be scary to reach July
when a new season begins (the
company by its nature is about six
months ahead of cropping sche-
dules) and realize that there's
nothing binding those old custom-
ers to conic back.
Still it is the hard times that have
helped the company grow in many
ways as farmers are much more
conscious about input costs. And
the company can help in some
ways. For instance, while data can
be found to support the importance
of adding nitrogen to cereals and
potash tolegumecrops, it Is hard to
find any data to show that
additional phosphorous increases
yields, he says, and phosphorus is
currently the most expensive
ingredient in fertilizer.
in addition more and more
farmers are looking harder at
rotation and in many ways, he says,
farmers are going back to many of
the practices their parents follow-
ed but which have been abandoned
over the years.
The Auburn company has grown
rapidly and its modern decor and
humming computers contrast with
the rustic old store it calls home on
the main street of the village, but in
many ways it is still just a
smalltown company that fits right
in with the small-town way of doing
business. Some area farmers, for
instance, who don't take advant-
age of the full services of the
company, take their own soil
samples and bring them in for
testing. Some Auburn gardeners
even bring in soil samples from
their gardens for testing. There are
no records to show if crop yields
have increased greatly in tomatoes
and broccoli.

Bruce farmers develop system
for liquid manure without the smell
Two Bruce County farmers have
overcome the problem of smelly,
low value liquid manure' with a
fairly simple, small device and a lot
of knowledge. They have teamed
up with natural bacteria to trans-
form the liquid from an abnoxious
waste into a valuable soil and plant
food which has only a faint, earthy
smell.
Liquid manure really became
popular with Canadian farmers
about 20 years ago. It promised a
way to handle large amounts of
manurequicklyandcfficicntly, but
the problems soon became ob•
vious. In ,the murky depths of the
storage pit anaerobic bacteria
break down the ingredients of the
manure and give off foul and often
poisonous gases. Some farmers
have put these gases towork, but in
most cases they have been some-
thing toavoid or to exhaust into the
open air. Sludge buildup in tanks
also leads to difficulties in pump-
ing out the material.
Aeration offered an anwer and
many machines appeared on the
market, all scenting to aim at
pumping as much airinto the liquid
as possible. The effect was todrive
off the bad gases as they formed,
but the fertilizer value of the
remaining liquid was also reduced.
Successfully using aerobic bac-
teria to break down the smelly,
inorganic nitrogenandcaptureit in
an organic form is a very skilled
operation. It requires balancing
carbon, nitrogen and air ratios and
studying all aspects of the manure
and treating it accordingly.
Lawrence and Philip Andres, of
Tiverton Ont., have made a careful
study of manure handling tech-
niques, both in Canada and in their
native Switzerland. Several years
ago they started working with a
system which they thought would
hclpimprovethevalucofthe liquid
manure from the 100 plus Hol-
steins on their 300 acre organic
farm. Now they have joined forces
with their neighbour, John Mac-
Kinnon, to market this system.
These three farmers are very
particular about the way all
manure is handled on their Tiver-
ton farms. They have to be as it's
the only fertilizer they usc on any of
their crops. Solid manure is all
composted to improve its value to
the soil and to stabilize the
nutrients.
"Ifyou want toget the most from
liquid manure, you can't just blast
air through it or keep stirring it in
the hope that all the nutrients will
be saved," explains Lawrence.
"You have to treat the bacteria
with respect, because they can turn
that pool into one of the best
sources of fertilizer on this earth if
you give them the right conditions.
When they are working well, there
is virtually no smell tither during
the fermentation process or when
the liquid is spread on the fields."
LIQUID MANURE CAN DE
POISONOUS
Many farmers and researchers
believe the quicker you get liquid
manure from storage pit into the
ground the more nutrients are
saved and the better the plant
response.
"Not so," says Lawrence
Andres. "In fact that smelly liquid
you're spreading on the fields, or
worse still knifing into the ground,
may solve smell problems at the
expense of soil lift. Ammonia kills
worntsquicklyand it, togcthcrwith
other gases, is very common In
poorly fermented liquid manure.
You can often see the worms
coming to the surface as soon as
this type of manure is spread or
worked into the soil. They come to
the surface because of the liquid
flooding the soil and then the gases
in the surface layers kill them. You
can imagine its effect on the other
soil life."
HOW THE EDAPHON WORKS
Basically, the Edaphon Process-
ing System uses a micro -aeration
technique to incorporate minute
bubbles of air evenly throughout
the entire container of liquid
manure during calculated time
periods. The bubbles arc so small
that few, if any, are seen to reach
the surface. A light foam may be
noticed. This is because the air is
either absorbed into the liquid,
used immediately by bacteria or
clings to particles in the liquid.
The unit itself consists of n
diffusion pumpon the end of a long
drive shaft and air intake tube. The
pump assembly is lowered close to
the bottom of the tank. The shaft is
driven by a 5 H.P. electric motor.
One ntddcl allows the farmer to usc
it as a transfer pump for emptying

the tank and for Filling spreaders.
The liquid can be seen to
circulate slowly. The idea is not to
stir and agitate the manure to mix
all the solids into a suspension, but
rather to carry minute particles of
air to all parts of the liquid so that
bacteria can break down the solids
and become part of the liquid.
The time intervals during which
the Edaphon runs are set according
toe number of factors including
consistency of the manure, the
type of feed being used and the
presence of feed additives. Law-
rence is most concerned that
farmers don't just buy a machine,
plug it in and forget about it. "We
want to work with the farmers who
install a machine to make sure it is
run the way it should be," he
explains. "We have done this with
all the machines we have installed
during our trial period. Each farm
isuniqucandwewant to make sure
our system works well in each
situation."
NUTRIENTS SAVED
The aerobic bacteria which
convert the inorganic, smelly
nitrogen in the ammonia form into
organic nitrogen (protein com-
pounds) thrive on carbon, nitrogen
and air. The proportions of each of
these essentials are very impor-
tant. Cattle on high grain rations
and pig manure is often lacking in
carbon and this may have to be
added. When the bacteria are
growing with the right proportions
of the three ingredients they will
convert nutrients (especially nitro-
gen) into stable forms which will
not escape into the air and are less
likely to be lost through leaching.

FARM MANAGEMENT
SPECIALIST'O.M.A.F.
Which crop can 1 grow in 1986 to
make money? Many farmers have
been putting a hard pencil to this,
and not finding any easy answers.
There is a great deal of
skepticism about growing cash
crops this spring, poor outlook for
fall market prices ... and so on.
On the positive side, most prices
of farm inputs have not risen at the
rate of inflation in the general
economy in recent years. This
suggests that the rise in farm input
costs has becn moderated by the
depressed production sector. On
the other hand, per acre land
principal and interest payments, or
rental payments have been greater
than many farmers can meet from
earnings.
Our decision on what crops to
grow will depend on a number of
important considerations. One of
these will be our cost of production.
The decision as to what to grow
should be based on those crops
which return the greatest number
of dollars over their variable costs.
Variable costs are those costs
which change with the crop we
grow. Variable costs include our
material inputs (seed, fertilizer,
pesticides etc.), crop insurance,
drying costs, storage and market-
ing costs, interest costs, hired
labour, and fuel and repair mach-
inery costs or custom charges.
The othercosts we have are fixed
costs. Fixed costs are those costs
which occur whether we grow a
crop or not. Depreciation, insur-
ance, taxes; land costs would be
examples of fixed costs.
A crop will be grown as long as
we are able tocoverour variable
costs. Returns above this will help
cover our living costs and fixed
costs.
VARIABLE COSTS FOR CORN '
ORBEANS
This past winter, I collected
information from a group of cash
crop farmers in western and south-
western Ontario on their variable
costs for corn and soybeans.
Table 1 shows their average cash
inputcostsand equipment fuel and
repair cost for preharvest opera-
tions and harvest operations for
continuous corn and soybeans.

Let's look at our break-even cost
on corn. The input costs varied
from a low of S95/acre to a high of
5160/acre. Part of the variation in
this figure will be due to what each
farmer included in Input costs.
Seed, fertilizer, pesticide costs
would be included, Some would
also include interest for six months
on these operating costs, and crop
insurance.
The corn preharvest machinery
costs varied from 57to$28per acre.
The lowest preharvest cost was for
a farmer growing corn on ridges.
Some may have had a higher
machinery cost due to older
equipment and therefore higher
repair costs. Also these costs do not
include ownership costs of insur-
ance, interest, depreciation, only
fuel, grease and repairs. Their land
type would also affect the number

At 125 bu/acre for the group of
farmers, the variable costs per
bushel are 51.54. Yields will have
quite an impact on our variable cost
per bushel. Normally we can't
plant or havest all of our corn at the
ideal time of year. So if we thought
that our overall yield would
average 112 bushels (10 percent
less than 125) our cost per bushel
would rise to 51,72. It's important
that we be as realistic as possible in
what yicldwcuse in ourcalcula-
tion.
If corn this fall traded at52.44
per bush our returns over variable
costs would be:

Income: 112 bu. at 2.44

Expenses = 192.12
Returns S 81.16
The 581.16 per acre return Is
what we have left to cover land
cost, fixed costs, and living
expenses. This figureshould be
compared to the• return over
variable costs for other crops. Once
this is done, the crops with the
greatest returnover variable costs,
should be considered seriously as
the ones to grow.
Each farmer must determine
their own production costs in
deciding what crop to grow, how
much to payfor land rent, and what
market price is needed to cover
these costs. It's a good exercise,
and one I'd be glad to help you
with, if you haven't done it before.

Ontario Foods dazzle discriminating U.S. consumers
With a whole world of cuisine at
their doorstep, New Yorkers
thought they had It all until their
tastcbuds were tantalized by fine
Ontario foods during n recent
Macy's promotion,
Showing great enthusiasm,
large crowds of Americans turned
out to try and buy Ontario gourmet
foodsduring a 12 -day promotion at
nine stores of R. H. Macy and
Company across the U.S., includ-
ing New York.
"The promotion was a tremen-
dous success. It put Ontario
gourmet food on the map in some of
the toughest markets In the
world," saysAgriuclturc and Food
minister Jack Riddell. "Il cxcccd.
cd all of the expectations of Macy's
executives as far as customer
volume and sales."
About Si million in salts is
expected over the next year for
Canadian companies because of
the increased visibility and dc•
mond created by the promotion.
Companies will work with the
ministry to take advantage of new
opportunities created by the pro-
motion. Other American retailers
and wholesalers are jumping on
the bandwagon and ordering
products from various Ontario
companies.
The 12 Ontario firms that took
part in the promotion at stores In
New York City, Long Island, White
Plains, Stamford, Albany, Dallas
and two locations in Houston,
Texas had sales of about $150,000.
Other Ontario products also sold
well during the promotion. Many
of the Ontario companies niay be
able to establish a long-term
relationship with Macy's and other
American retailers.
American consumers were de-
lighted by such exceptional On-
tario products as preserves and
chutneys, wines and coolers,
gourmet dressings and sauces,
buttery shortbreads, mustards,
relishes, pates and fine processed
meats, gingerbread houses as well
as pure goat milk cheeses.
"The promotion increased the
awareness of Ontario products in a
numberofvital American markets,
while also helping to develop a
better appreciation of the quality of
our products," he said.
To kick-off the promotion, the
ministry hosted a well -attended
reception in Ontario's Trillium
Room in New York on March 18.

Federation has high expectations
With three members of the
ruling parties representing Huron
county and two of them cabinet
ministers, farmers have high
expectations of government action
to improve their lot, Doug Garniss,
president of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture told the
assembled politicians at the Feder-
ation's annual member of Parlia-
ment dinner Saturday in Clinton.
Provincial Agriculture Minister
Jack Riddell, provincial Health
Minister Murray Elston and Murr-
ay Cardiff, M.P. along with Huron
County Warden and representa-
tives from several townships were
in attendance to hear briefs from
various commodity groups presen-
ted.
"Our industry is in very difficult
times, in a situation 1 would term a
crisis," Mr. Garniss said. "We
have to have action to preserve our
land, our industry and the family
farm." We believe in the family
farm but segments of our society do
not, including, from some studies
we've seen, segments of our
governments."
"The time for our MPs and
MPPs to tell us that we do not speak
with one voice and to use that as an
excuse for Inaction Is past. You are
elected as representatives to make
1985 was 'year of
accomplishment'
for Ontario Egg Board
Egg producers attending the
21st Annual Meeting of the Ontario
Egg Producers' Marketing Board
last month were told 1985 was a
sound and stable year as far as
financial, production, and market-
ing situations were concerned.
Nevertheless, said Board Chair-
manJimJohnstone, 1985waayear
of significant achievement for the
Ontario Egg Board.
"The past yearhasbeen most
satisfying for me as your chair-
man," he said. "There were no
major controversies. No new policy
initiatives, only minor amend-
ments to several existing policies
...The move to our new office went
off without a hitch; the contract for
the 'Ontario Egg Producers' Chair'
A
r
at the University of Guelph was
signed. A I l in all, a year of many
accomplishments."
The Chair established at the
University of Guelph will investi-
gate new uses for eggs with the
aim of improving markets and so
enabling producers to increase
their production. The research
Chair is the first at the University,
and represents the only such work
of its scope being conducted
anywhere in the world.
The past year also saw the Board
move into its first Board -owned
office building, in Mississauga. It
had been renting office space in
Willowdalc, nalth of Toronto.

choices, however difficult."
He pointed to the danger of the
U.S. farm bill which will channel 55
billion per year in subsidies to the
American farmer. He pointed out
the hardship for farmers who are
not allowed to use Alachlor
herbicide, an Important crop man-
agement tool, while crops using
the same chemicals are still
allowed to enter Canada.
Farm Credit Corporation statis-
tics point out there are 35,000
farmers in serious financial trou-
ble, he said. Other FCC statistics
show the average family farm
wind -down means a loss tothe FCC
of 5100,000. In the current econo-
my those 35,000 farmers are either
going to go out of business or have
their debts written down, he said
which means someone will lose
S3.5 billion.
He said there was also a
challenge tothe producers ofall
commodities. "We can no longer
afford the luxury of charging in all
directions, or conversely, circling
and shooting inward", Mr. Gar-
niss said. "We cannot blindly
favour free trade and ignore U.S.
tax laws, which mean a large
percentage of U.S. cattle are not
farmer owned, or the U.S. farm
bill, which they do not consider
subsidization. We cannot blindly
oppose free trade and ignore the
huge amounts of agricultural
production we must sell to the rest
of the world."
"Free enterprisers cannot ig-
nore the fact that, in a world food
glut, our exports become 'free': we
cannot get our cost oiproduction
from them. Supply management
advocates cannot ignore the tre-
mendous burden quota values,

Huron hog producers want 'Right to Farm' legislation
Wayne Fear of the Huron County Pork Producers presented a brief to
the Member of Parliament dinner held by the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture Saturday in Clinton.
Stronger"Right to Farm" legis-
lation not tougher controls on
foodland guidelines are what
Huron Count pork producers want,
President Wayne Fear told the
annual Huron County Federation
of Agriculture Member of Portia-
ent dinner in Clinton on Saturday,
He said current foodland guide-
lines work as much against the
farmer as for him. "A new farmer
may be only able to build to a
certain size. A dwelling may have
been built at the prescribed
distance while the farm build-up
went on and when a certain number
of animal units has been reached,
the farmer is prevented from
building up toa practical opera-
tion,"
What is needed instead, he said,
is togive the farmer priority in land
designated for agriculture and let
anyone build as close to a smelly or
noisy farm as they wish but they
would have no right to complain.
But Agriculture Minister Jack
Riddell disagreed. "We wouldn't
have to have an agricultural code of
practice if we had been smart
enough to not allow severances in
farmland in the first place," he
said in reply.
Mr. Fear and Mr. Riddell also
crossed swords over the tri -partite
stabilization program. While Mr.
Fear congratulated the govern-
ment on its strong support of the
program, he said he had com-
plaints from weaner pig producers
who felt thcreshouldbeabetter
way of administering the program.
Mr. Riddell said these were the
first complaints from weaner
producers he had heard and that
those he had spoken to had been
"tickled pink" with the split that
saw65 per cent of the subsidy go to
the finished hog and 35 per cent to
the producer of the weaner pig.
Free trade was also a bone of
contention between the two men.
"We have no fear of freer trade
with the United States or with
anyone, but it must also be fair with
equal support by both govern-
ments," Mr. Fear said. At one
point, he said, 17 per cent of pork
consumption in Canada came from
the U.S. but now that the flow is
going the other way, the Ameri-
cans arc complaining.
"It is for this reason that it is
imperative for Canadian agricul-
ture to be part of the trade

negotiations soon to begin," Mr.
Fear said.
"The U.S. Congress must be
made aware that the subsidies
available under the new Farm Bill
are much more far-reaching than
anything available in Canada. This
can only be done if we participate in
the talks. The park industry in
particular must be alert not to be
traded for protection of supply
managed commodities."
While Murray Cardiff said he
doesn't feel there is such a thing as
"free trade" he said Canadians
have to talk to the Americans
because "they have made state-
ments I don't agree with" regard-
ing supposed subsidies of things
such as potatoes. While Canada
may be sending potatoes into
Maine on the east coast, he said,
Oregon is sending potatoes into
British Columbia on the west.
Mr. Riddell was not so accepting
of the concept of free trade. "Pork
producers talk about free trade but
it's a pretty funny free trade when
the Americans can countervail
saying things like the land tax
rebate and Rccord of Performance
testing are unfair subsidies to
Canadians," he said,
"I have real concerns about free
trade and what it will do," he said.
Beef men are strong supporters
of free trade he said but have they
looked at the processing end of the
business, he wondered. Research
shows the Americans are far ahead
of Canadians in the technology of
food processing and they also have
a labour cost advantage, If there is
free trade American processors
could put Canadian processors out
of business and once that happen-
ed, "why would Americans want to
buy Canadian hogs and cattle if
they're processing down there."
The U.S. can easily grow enough
hogs and cattle to fill the entire
Canadian consumer need, he said.

also spoke out against free trade
saying that in its efforts to please
the Americans and get trade talks
started, the federal government
scents to be willing to give
American drug manufacturers the
exclusive right to market their
drugs in Canada. (The federal
government has discussed refus-
ing tolot generic drug manufactur-
ers let the patents of brand name
drug manufacturers for a licencing
fee.) This move would cost his
ministry 535 to 40 million a year,
Mr. Elston said and various
ministries in competition for limit-
ed funds, it might =unless money
for agriculture.
"My concern is that if there is a
desire in the U.S. not to get into
negotiations and we go ahead with
appeasing American concerns, it
could have a terrible cost for
Canada."
Adrian Vos, former director of
the Pork Producers Marketing
Board said that his information was
that the packing companies were
not afraid of U.S. competition and
said that farnters must be at the
bargaining table. Mr. Riddell
agreed that Canadians must bar-
gain but said his ministry has been
told tolookatthe effect offree trade
in every aspect of agriculture.
Mr. Fear asked Mr. Cardiff why
the federal government didn't put
a countervailing tariff on U.S.
grain coating Into Canada because
of the heavy subsidization it
receives under the new farm bill.
Mr. Cardiff said he would rather
work to get the U.S. tariff taken off

O/d apple varieties mean a new business
Shelley Pauloclk shows one of the first of her apple trees to reach a
,saloable size. After long research and several years of work she has
brought old varieties of trees back into the gardens of area landowners.
Like the Zinc from tr c song that
says "everything old is new
again", a Biuevaie•area nursery
owner is hoping that old apple
varieties will be a new taste
discovery for home orchard own-
ers.
After years of research, hard
work, planning and disappoint-
ments, Shelly Paulocik this year
will be putting the first "fruits" of
her labour on the market: 15
varieties of apple trees originally
wide -spread in this area but long
since gone from most orchards.
There was a time when nearly
every farm in Huron county had an
apple orchard. In the days when
self-sufficiency was a more impor-
tant concept in farming than
specialization, farmers depended
on the few dollars to be made from
apple sales each fall in the same
way they looked at the sale of butter
and beef as significant factors in
fancily income.
But over the years specialization
and centralization gradually took
over and a few orchards got larger
while most wcrc let go wild and
finally bulldozed out to make room
for more profitable crops.
With them went many of the
apple varieties that still bring
smiles to the faces of oldtimers:
names like Gravenstein, Tomp-
kins King, Westfield and Yellow
Transparent.
Reviving some of these rare
breeds has been taken on, not by
someone who harks back to a
childhood in the old apple orchard
but by a "city girl" who grew up in
Oshawa but found out the life she
longed for was in the country
instead. From high school In the
motor city she went to Sheridan
College where she studied craft
and design but eventually decided
that field wasn't for her. After
spending some time travelling she
went back to school at the
University of Guelph to study
horticulture: Her interest in old
varieties of fruit trees neatly
combines her interest in museum
work and her Interest in horticul-
ture.
That interest was spurred on
when she and husband Gord
Chiddicks moved toa Blucvalc-
area farm and while plowing at the
back of the farm discovered an old
orchard with varieties she'd never
experienced before.
She had also had an introduction
to the taste of old varieties at the
Apple Museum, an orchard plant-
ed at the Vineland research station
as a centennial project to keep the
old tree varictics olive. At one time
there wcrc 125-140 varieties at the
museum and tasting them, she had
a chance to discover a taste that
was missing in modern apples.
When people talk about pro-
gress they generally think of the
vast variety of things we enjoy in
modern lift but Shelley wonders if
the term is misused when it comes
to apples. At one time our arca
would have had 100 varieties of
apples but today has probably
about five, she says.
She undertook more investiga-
tion of the old apple varieties as
part of an independent studies
course at Guelph. The variety of
apples available to the consumer
has declined to the point that 80 per
cent of the apples in the world
today are varieties of Red Deli-
cious.
Instead of growing varieties for
table eating versus cooking, apples
for storage against varieties for
immediate use and so on, the Red
Delicious became popular because
it could be used for either cooking
orenting, travelled well and stored
well. By contrast, yellow varieties
of apples virtually disappeared
from large scale commercial pro-

New generations to Y apple o old a le flavours
Continued from pogo 24
research to practical use two years
ago when she began her first
plantation of old apple varieties.
Modern horticulture uses the
process of "budding" in which a
single leaf bud from the variety of
tree you want to propogate is
attached to a root stock (most of
which is grown in Holland).
The budding process is gener-
ally more efficient than the graft-
ing process that was once used but
one disadvantage is that it's done
in the heat of mid summer where
grafting was generally done in•
doors in the late winter. In
addition, when Sheileyset out to do
her first budding, she was several
months pregnant, making it even
more difficult to work six inches off
the ground.
Her research turned up the fact
that there arc people who's
full-time job is budding and they
travel the world from one fruit•
growing area to another with the
change of seasons to bud the trees.
They can bud 2000 trees a day.
Shelley, inexperienced and with-
out a lot of mobility, managed
about 75 trees a day.
About 200 of the trees she
budded two years ago "took" and
of those, 150 are ready for sale this
spring.
As a concession to the needs of
modern garden owners, some of
the trees have been grafted into
dwarf rootstock for people who
want to put more trees into a
smaller area. Some of the trees are
of two different semi -vigorous
rootstocks, meaning they will be
closer to the original size of the old
varieties.
Last year, the second year of her
experiment brought a major
disappointment, however. She
was prepared to bud 500 trees and
arrangements had been made to go
to the Vineland museum to get the
bud wood. But the pressure of
land -use demands in the Niagara
Penninsula had caused the author-
ities of the museum to decide to
pull out the orchard and, through a
mix-up in communications, they
pulled out all the trees the day
before Shelley had made arrange-
ments to pick up her buds.
The museum officials, when
the mistake was discovered tried to
help out by giving her sonic
cuttings but after budding some
500 trees, she has found that only
about 50 have taken because the
cuttings weren'ttaken from the
right age of tree or the right part of
the tree. Days of work, and nearly a
whole year of development of her
business were lost.
Eventually, ifall goes well, such
problems will be eliminated be-
cause she hopes to plant an orchard
with at least two trees of every
variety she has so she will have
access to her own budding stock.
The experiment is one of several
income sources the couple are
developing. They also plan to have
one acre of pick -your -own straw-
berries and raspberries.
Finding the right market for the
trees however is a challenge, part'.
cularly to get started. Volume of
the trees available is not large
enough to warrant large scale
advertising in the swanky maga-
zines for people who keep country
estates. For thc present, at least,
she'll depend on the local market
and count on the memories people
have for apples that had a
personality of their own.
Eventually she thinks she may
advertise a "connoisseur collec-
tion" of 10 or 12 of the best tasting
apples (she has a friend, Fred

Another possiblity is selling a

apple trees whose apples, when
combined in juice, offer the most
tasty combination.
As for the hope that some of the
apple varieties will live again as
commercial varieties even in farm-

much hope. Mr. Jansen has tried to
sell apples from his own small

the general public has been
conditioned to go for the more
traditional tastes of either the

Blyth rutabaga firm marks 23rdY ear in business
Out they go. Another shipment of rutabagas from the G. L. Hubbard plant In Blyth is prepared for
shipment to some far off destination. Recent shipments have gone to Denmark and the southern U.S. as
the Blyth firm continues to find foreign markets for Its produce.
BYMELDAMcELROY
Yesterday marked the 23rd
anniversary of the Hubbard Ruta-
baga Operation in Blyth,
On April 15, 1963, Gcorgc
Hubbard arrived to begin business
on a small scale. In today's terms,
he is known as an entrepencur.
"1 started with nothing",
George said. "I bought in 1963,
frorn Russ Dougherty, a house,
waxing plant, storage buildings
and farm. In 1966,1 added to the
existing storage building at the
cast end of Dinsley St. a rutabaga
plant with washing and waxing
facilities. It affords ample room for
loading and unloading."
Last week was a busy one at
Hubbards. On Friday, workers
were processing rutabagas for
shipment to Wisconsin, and other
U.S. destinations. Markets in the
spring open up in Europe. Earlier
in the week, 850 bushels were
shipped to Norway. Exports to
Miami and Texas can always be
depended upon, where it is said
they eat small rutabagas as we cat
apples.

A few bushels of rutabagas still
remain In storage, but they will
move soon, at which time the floors
in the storage department will be
scraped, scrubbed and sprayed for
the prevention of disease.
New crops each year must be
stored in a spanking clean space.
Under normal weather condi-
tions, staggered seeding begins in
f
early April and terminates around
June 10. George says, "Rutabagas
are funny things. An old myth
maintains they are a cold weather
crop. l admit they grow a bit in cold
weather, but really they do not.
Theyrequirethe sun and sufficient
moisture to grow."
Gcorgc Hubbard is fussy about
soil preparation and high quality
seed. He emphasizes that onecan't
lose by being choosy about what
goes into the ground. "I have dealt
with the same seed company since 1
started, for from it I get the best

a pile of heat because the roots are
200 degrees cooler than the wax is.
At the present time the wax cost is
30 cents for a bushel."
When asked about the plant's
safety record, George replies that
it has been free of serious
accidents. One accident, though,
he can't forget because it was so
messy. A truck with a load of 600
bushels of rutabagas turned over
on a side road. Fortunately, the
driver was not injured nor the truck
damaged, Georgerecalls, "What a
job we had, with the help of a
tractor and bucket, to scoop up
from road and ditches, what looked
like millions of rutabagas! Then,
followed the culling process at the
plant."
The most cruel word to the ears
of the owner is the use of the word
turnip when one means rutabaga.
There is a vast difference between
a turnip which is snow white and
rutabaga that has cream-coloured
flesh and a denser texture. It is
steadily gaining in popularity as a
vegetable, for it is low in calorics
and high in nutrition, containing
more calcium, potassium, Vitamin
A and C than many vegetables.
Microwave cooking time is increas-
ing the Rutabaga's use.
Thanks to George Hubbard,
North Huron has one Rutabaga
Plant, and Blyth claims it. Here
lives an cntrcpeneur who is a firm
believer in private enterprise. He
took a risk in 1963 and it has paid off
to the extent that he can tell you
that over the years his small
business has been good to him.
The permanent staff at Hub -
bard's Rutabaga plant arc: Roy
Young, who has been with Hub•
bard's for 21 years; Bob Bromley,
Allan Sicrtsema and George Hub -
bard's son, Jim.
Additional workers are required
for 10 months of the year to process
the crop on 250 acres. These
include Gcorgc and Marion Hub -

Bruce farmers
develop system
for manure
Continued from page 18
The treated liquid which is spread
on the crops contains as much
nitrogen as manure fresh from the
animal! What's more, most of this
nitrogen is organic and therefore
has no unpleasant smell, does not
burn plants, is more stable in the
soil and enhances, rather than
destroys, soil life. This type of
manure also contributes to humus
production, which is one of the key
ingredients in healthy soil.
PART OFATOTALSYSTEM
For the farmers who developed
the Edaphon Processing System
this is not just a solution to a liquid
manure problem. It is one part of a
totally organic system which fits
into their philosophy. No chemi-
cals are purchased for their farms
and so manure is essential for thorn
to maintain high yielding crops.
They view tlic soil as a vital living
organism and one which must be
nurtured to create the best living
environment and for the many
forms of soil life which help to feed
the crops. Manure must have the
maximum value for the crops while
minimizing the spread of weeds.
All thcirsolid manure is composted
and now the Edaphon completes
the system by making a liquid
compost.
They sec this as an opportunity
to help farmers become more self
sufficient while reducing soil, air
and water pollution. All arc

ers Association of Ontario, an
organization dedicated to cncour-
ging sound stewardship of farm-

BY REV. CHARLES
CARPENTIER

CHARGE
THE UNITED CHURCH OF
CANADA
When a mother gives birth to a
child, she must release that child to
be an independent person. From
the moment of birth, the child
begins to free himself from his
dependence on his mother. This is
a painful experience for the
mother. The birth -pangs are only
the beginning of the pain of
losing the child who's so much a
part of us.
The same' sort of process must
also go on within each person.
Most of us begin adult life with
some kind of role or image which is
a kind of mother to us. And we see
others in a kind of role which
becomes familiar and comfortable
to us. We don't want either role to
change. But it must change if we

are to be free and if we are to let
others go free. But this process is
as painful as childbirth.
Society is cruel in the way it
thrusts images on us. Ministers of
the Church arc expected to be
morally better than others, to have
few, if any, doubts about God. Men
are supposed to be strong, not to
• cry. Women are to be gentle, ready
tosupport men but tobe happy in a
secondary role. The result is that
few people are real. We go through
life playing games, putting on
fronts.
Jesus came tont us free from
that kind of tyranny. The reason
people responded so strongly to
him was that he saw through their
roles and treated then for the
persons they were. For some, this
was an occasion for rejoicing for
others, for anger. Some wanted to

STEPHENSON. Robert would
have been deeply touched and
amazed at the reaction to his death.
You never know until it's too late.
The way everyone pulled together
in their sorrow helped me to realize
that we all lost hint, not just
Courtney and me. I wish to thank
family, relatives, friends and
neighbours for their help and
kindness, for the food they
brought, the flowers they sent and
for the special things they did. For
the businesses who closed during
Robert's funeral, 1 want you to
know how much that would have
meant to him. To Jack Bryans and
Max and Barb Watts, your time,
cooperation, comfort and support
helped me through. Donations
received are gratefully acknow-
ledged. Special thanks to the
Reverends Carpentier and Tozier.

IN MEMORIAM
BRADNOCK. In loving memory of
dear mother and grandmother,
Eleanor, who passed away 1 year
ago April 19, 1985,
We think of the day you passed
away,
There was little we could do,
But memories never fade away,
For we always think of you,
To us you are very special,
And we miss you more each day,
For the saddest day in our lives,
Was the day you passed away.
We think of you in silence,
And often speak your name,
But all.we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame,
Your resting place we visit,
And place your flowers with care,
And our hearts just filled sadness,
As we turn and leave you there.
• Sadly missed and loved, never to
be forgotten by son George, Jackie

children Johathan, Christine,

proposed Secondary Plan discuss-
ed some changes to the original
plan sent out to township homes,
Allan Bridge of Wingham visit-
ed council to ask if lots seven and
eight west of Bridge Motors could
be designated Commercial Indus-
trial land instead of Restricted
Agricultural land as it is shown in
the plan now, Mr. Bridge says that
a Motel is interested in locating on
one of the lots,
Mr. Caldwell advised council
against this change, saying the lots
were severed years ago for a farm
machinery dealership and this
never established and would be
better as a fertilizer plant or
Huron science
students show
their stuff Saturday
The Sth Annual Huron County
Science Fair will be held at the
Central Huron SecondarySchool in
Clinton on April 18th and 19th.
The Fair will feature over 120
projects completed by Grade seven
and eight students from Huron
County Board of Education
schools.
Students will be competing in
Computer, Physical and Biological
categories for n variety of awards,
One new award this year is the
"Conservation Award".. The
Ausablc•Bayfield and Maitland
Valley Conservation Authorities
are sponsoring this award to
encourage students to explore the
complex and exciting fields of
conservation.
Over the past four years, the
Huron County Board of Education
has sent students to Toronto,
Halifax, Saskatoon and Cornwall to
compete against students from
across Canada at the annaul
Canada Widc Science Fair. Up to
four projects may be sent to
Calgary this year during May to
compete, if deemed worthy by the
judges.
The public are invited to view the
projects and to talk with the
students between 2:00 p.nt. and
4:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 19th.
Presentation of awards will take
place at 3:00 p.m.
something to do with agriculture,
Mr, Caldwell said once council
designated the land commercial,
they would have no control as to
what might locate there. He also
pointed out that the lots arc class
one agricultural land and there are
other lots that would be better for
the Motel. Mr. Bridge said with
Turnberry Tavern and Bridge
Motors there, it limits farming
anyway. Council agreed that the
lots should be designated
Commercial -Industrial land but
this still has to be passed by the
planning committee.
Mr. Caldwell plans to present
the Secondary Plan to the Huron
County Planning Committee on
April 17.
In other business, Neil Gowing
and Henry Devlin from the Brus-
sels Recreation Committee attend-
ed to ask council if the $6,000 that
council budgets for helping figure
skating and minor hockey could
also be used for compressors or a
new roof or emergency repairs.
Council thought that an ammend-
meat could be made to the present
proposal to have one reserve fund
for recreation and emergency
operating costs. But this would
have to be discussed with the other
councils before agreements are
reached.
Robert Dickert of Blucvale will
be the new grader operator in
Morris for the summer months.
Clerk Nancy Michie read council
a letter from the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce regarding the
paying of tax bills at the bank.
Right now it costs people of the
township 85 cents to pay their tax
bill at the bank but thcycanpay it at
the township office free. The Bank
wanted council's feelings on a new
agreement for January 1988 when
anew tax bill would be printed that
wouldgo through the computers at
the bank. Council agreed that this
would be too expensive and that
they were not interested.
Councillor Howie Morton sug-
gested that a self addressed,.
stamped envelope be enclosed in
each tax statement.
Council received a letter from
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
asking if council had any com•
plaintsorproblemswith Municipal
Elections, Nancy Michie said she
would like to write them about the
hiring of assessment people. She
said they didn't tell her who was
WINNING
doing the' assessing or when they - Township. Council passed two
weretostart this year. Council also petitions for drain inspections for
thought that the person assessing the Bosman Drain, Lot 17, Con. 2
Morris should be from Morris and the Lamont Drain.

The Blyth Festival Gallery is
pleased to announce that the work
of Tom Benner will be shown in the
Gallery of Blyth Memorial Hall
from May 1 through to June 1.
The exhibition will include a
variety of Mr. Benner's work
including "Owls in My Sleep",
"Great Awk", and "White Pine".
In addition to this exhibition, Mr.
Benner will be present on Satur-
day, May 31 and Sunday, June 1,
during the Blyth Festival's Annual
Used Book Sale, to give a special
slide show followed by a discussion
of his work.
Mr. Benner Is a London artist
who has won national recognition
with a number of his works,
including his "Third World Parity
Kit", a collection of paintings and
sculptures done in the mid -1970's.
He has exhibited across the
country and his works are included
in the Canada Council Art Bank
and the Art Gallery of Ontario
collection.
Most recently, he has been
working on pieces depicting differ-
ent animals, birds and nature
symbols used by older civiliza-
tions, mainly those of North
America. These pieces portray the
harm that modern man is inflicting
on species such as the fin whale,
polar bear, great awk, sea eagle,
and puma. His work conveys a
sense of loss for these animals, and
man's lack of understanding of his
environment in general.
The exhibition is sponsored by
the Art Gallery of Ontario through
the Artist and their Work pro -
1/4
gramme.
The Blyth Festival Gallery will
be open Monday through. Friday,
from 9 a. m. • 5 p.m. For further
