Agricultural representative Doug Miles spoke of the "vast potential" of the Bounty as a farming area during an inter- view. The department representa- tive shrugged -off tlie statistics that the county lost more than '700 farmers during the 10 -year - period up to 1961. "These were mainly men who couldn't make a living here .be- cause they are not efficient operators," he said. "There is no doubt that a good farmer who keeps abreast of the axles will make a go of it." Mr. Miles said only recently teams of agricultural •officiaLs from surrounding counties had toured Huron and had been amazed at the "tremendo potential" we have here. t He .told of people from t rich agricultural area in Kent County buying land in Huron. "They came over here and had a look at what we have to offer and then they bought land arge themselves." The agricultural °Metal went on: "The future for Huron County can only be described as bright .as 'far as agriculture goes. "Thesmall farmer who makes the most of his land and the opportunities that exist is not going to have any worries as far as his personal future is con- cerned. "It is not really, the amount of land you have that counts, it is the use that you put it to," he said. • No Record Mr. Miles said he felt that some agricultural spokesmen had keen "over optimistic" with recenr-reports that Ontario fac- ed a record crop -yield for tis year. "Huron County faces a good crop _yield," he said, "but we do not anticipate anything in the nature of a record." He went on: "At one time it looked pretty black as far as some of the ' crops were con- cerned. • But the improved weather over the past threc weeks has made all the differ- ncreases • THIS WEEK AND. 'NEXT • by Ray Argyle . PRESSURE ON THE P -M The pressures on Prime Min- ister Pearson for a fall election came not from an outraged pub- lic or an indignant Opposition aroused over any major ,issue in current Canadian politics. They came, instead, from a handful of party strategists who have believed that the Liberals could win a majority in Parliament by ,going to the country before the end of 1965. . . No one except the Prime Minister's key advisers have wanted. n early election. iCer- tainly the Opposition par- ties, de -rtitk- Mr. Diefenbaker's threat to open the fall session of the House of Commons with a non -confidence vote over the Rivard • affair. He could have done that last June, when the issue was hpt, but chose not to. The Parliament elected in 1963 was elected to govern up to five years,, as long as the Prime Minister could maintain the support of the House. So far, Mr. Pearson has been able to do this. - While doing so, his minority government, despite several em- barrassing -scrapes, has estab- lished a fairly respectable re- cord. The Quebec problem has been tackled head-on even if success has ,not been complete; a national pension program has been set up; we have a new flag, and the blueprint has been drawn for a Canada -wide medi- care scheme. The country is prosperous, and the 'government has taken concrete steps •to assist areas not sharing ftilly in our econ- omic growth. The Pearson gov- ernment has wisely kept Can: ada from becoming, entangled in South, Vietnam and other areas of crisis. ' Capping the economic boom has come another fantastic sale of wheat to th'er,Soviet 'UniOn, which will pour $450 million into the hands of western farm- ers'. But perhaps the chief argu. ment against a 1965 election has been the fact that redistri- HURON CONCRETE pl,Y. LTD.

Many Liberals, obviously, ence." • Huron crop estimates are: Winter wheat -45 bushels an acre. Oats -60 bushels arra-c, re. BarTey-50 bushels an acre. Mixed grain --55 bushels an acre. Hay crop --two tons an acre. Beans and corn are reported to be about two weeks late this year. Last year's final statistics were: winter wheat, 42 busheis; oats, .61.9 bushels; barley, 48.4 bushels; mixed grain, 61.3 bushels; and hay crop, 2.5 tons. "As you can see from these figures the crops will be good, but we are a long way from any type of •record," said Mr. Miles. - . Part -Time Farmer A census taken in 1961 show ed there were ,5,052 farms in Huron County, as compared with 5,772 farms in 1951. "The part-thne farmer has become a ,big thing in the coun- ty now," said Mr. Miles. "We fully realize the importance of this type of farmer to the area." He added: "Taking all things into account, prospects for Hur- on County are excellent in the field of agriculture. "Everything is now available to the farmer in . the way of help and education to •give him the advantage of being able to run a worthwhile farm. "It must be faced though that if the farmer is not piepared to get up and go he will be faced with the position where he will be joining the ranks of the lost • '700. "Success can only come from ' personal effort and nowhere is this more true than on the farm,'! he' said. • SEAFORTH - „UPHOLSTERING -Centre Street TeL 527-0190. - FOR ALL KINDS OF UPHOLSTERING — We Arrange Easy Terms — 41•••••••••••••••••••••..........•••••••••••••••••••••...Y.sm...711.4041. • FIRESIDE GROUP • The iit'st meeting; in the fall .and whiter program of Fireside rellowship group of First Church was held et- the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. G.

Their unquestioned strength in Que- bec, combined with apparently greater support in the West and Ontario, should give the Liberals a solid working ma- jority,, in the'*opipion of these strategists. The last Gallup poll calculat- ed Liberal support at 45 per cent, compared to 29 per cent for the Conservatives. It is riot safe to project these figures in- to the future,. however.

DOWN AT THE -LANES BY LEE HEE By the looks of things this year, bowling is going to have a big season. There have been many attending during open bowling, with one coming through with over a 300 game. We are getting well into Sep- tember. The leagues are being formed and will soon be in full swing. ' Gord and Gerda have things spic and span. The al- leys are in good shape, which once again reminds us that the pitlholes made by- bouncing balls have been' cleared away. It is hoped that all will remem- ber not to bounce the balls, because each bowler knows 'himself or herself the damage that can be caused by bouncing balls. Don't cause the manage- ment to ask 'you while bowling with friends or in league play to stop bouncing the ball. All can get good scores by rolling a nice, easy, smooth ball. * * * Last weekend the inter -town representatives met in Clinton. The league .will be composed of eight teams again this year. One Goderich team hags drop- ped out, but the executive an- ticipates the spot will be filled with another team from' the area. The schedttlewp be laid out as last yeae season will open on Sorifivk Oth — one week earlier digit lad year— in order to finish a 4yeek earlier in the .spring. GATE ADMISSION IS YOUR TICKET TO STARS!
