On Huron Tour Peel Area Farmers Visit Match Site A busload of 42. farmers ,from 'eel county toured farms in ;Huron County last week includ- ing ncluding Scott Farms, in McKillop township, which is the site of this year's International Plow- ing Match in October. The visitors, who are members Of the Peel County Soil and 'Crop Improvement Association, ;were mainly interested in Mr. Scott's corn plots. They exam- ined the corn at close range and asked the host and his son William numerous questions concerning the amount and type, of chemicals and fertilizers which were used on the crop. William Scott who is associa- ted with his father, James M. Scott, in running the operation said the feeding and watering of the hens in the building will be completely .automatic. Al- though the building is well in- sulated, 20 fans will operate to cool it in warm weather. 'Mr. Scott said. with the new addition it would give them an over-all capacity for 20,000 breeder hens and the same number of started chicks. Work started on the building June 24th and is progressing rapidity. Kasey Vanden Heuvel, RR 2, Goderich, is the builder. The completion date is Aug- ust 24th, when 10,000 breeders will become 20 weeks old • and be ready' to be moved into the new building. .

Greta and Amy Lammie conducted the sports program assisted by Robert El- gie, Kippen, and Larry Snider, Exeter. A;Supper concluded the picnic. Close Pool As Motor { Burns Out A burned out motor forced cancellation of swimming at the Lions Park pool Sunday af- ternoon and Monday. When the five -horse power motor ,which operates pumps. in the recirculation system stopped operating there was no circulation in the pool. With the lack of circulation, chlor- ine clouded the water, .cutting down visibility to a degree that prevented proper supervision. Temporary repairs were com- pleted Monday and the pool was' back iii use Tuesday. The break occured at a time when the park • and pool was crowed with hundreds of district residents and 'picnic groups seeking relief from the sticky heat that prevailed . over the weekend.. However, corn was not the only thing they . saw clux'ing, their 45 -minute visit to the farm. On the bus. tour around; the 400 acres, Bill Scott pointed out things such as the new barn being built which will hold 10,000 breeder hens, and the area where the Tented City will be set up during the Plow- ing Match. Some of the visitors showed a great interest in the 33 Canada geese which ave a feature of Scott Farms. As the tour of the farm began, Doug Myles, Huron ag. rep., in- troduced their host and his son to the visitors. Mr. Myles told them. Mr. Scott started the mas- sive chicken business he has now with just one hen. He also said Mr. Scott is the Mayor of the Tented City this year and, his son is the first ever deputy mayor. James Scott told the farmers from Peel he started his busi- ness, when he bought 59 acres in 123. He told them it scares him to see so many young borrowing so much money and that he did not purchase any- thing until he had the capital. William Scott said 100 of the acres were out of commission this year because of the Plow- ing Match but they Still planted 180 acres of corn and 35 of barley. He toldthem in prepar- ation for the match they had to keep the grass in the Tented City area cut but that most of the area used for plowing dur- ing the match would be on neighborhood farms. The Scott farm was just one of three farms in Huron visited during a busy morning. The group's first • stop was at Wil- liam Gerritt's dairy farm, RR 1, Clinton. After visiting Scott's; they left for Gorrie to see Bob Hastie's beef set-up and then to Wingham for dinner.

Police Seek Lost Bicycles ■ I l ed ,After almost `;a, month of drought, rain finally fell on parts of Huron county Tuesday morning with a ,further fall "xail}- fall on Wednesday,, The arrival of the rain brought smiles to area farmers who hoped the rain will be around for a few more days. Huron Ag. rep. D. H. ' Miles said the rain ,temporarily re- lieved, but did -not correct mois- ture conditions. - Tha'oughout the province, lack of rain has been a serious prob- lem to the farmers. Hardest hit have been Prince Edward and Northumberland counties where the grain and canning crops are drought victims. Except for the Windsor area, .no . agricul- tural district has received enough rain. Southern Ontario has been experiencing the extreme dry spell, but even Northern On- tario's rainfall has been well be- low normal. The average rain- fall for July is between three and three point five inches, but most areas have not had more. than an inch this 'month. Crop growth gerieratly throughout the province has varied from good to bad.: In some regions corn crops have stagnated from lackf ., neois-' ture and in other aras, milk production is falling rapidly. However, the markets haven't suffered because hay produced generous .crops and wheat is above average, 'In Huron. county, late sown beans and corn and turnips were showing the effects of high temperature and no moisture. Fall wheat is being harvested in excellent condition with fairly good yield and quality, some barley is being harvested but quelity only fair. Oats and barley are ripening too quickly. Pastures are drying up and there is additional feeding of hay to cattle on pasture to try and keep milk production up. Canning pea yields are. report- ed to be decreasing from day to day. Further to' the east in Perth county, Doug Avery,assistant agricultural representative, re- ports the situation is becoming serious. After being cut the !first time, hay crops have not come along at all for a second cutting. The bottom. leaves of corn are turning brown and curling. Grain crops are also suffering. He said the only thing which has saved Perth farmers is the fact the water . table was so high. • Seaforth Police made pro - 1 • gress last week in solving a series of bicycle thefts from the Lions Park, when Constable 1K. Ruston recovered three bikes which had been adandon I ed at Doig's Golf Course. Two 1 other -bikes were recovered abandoned on Seaforth Streets. Since 'the park opened in! late June there have been con- tinuing complaints of bicycles !, being taken.
