New $150,000 Fertilizer Plant To Serve Area Bill Houckin, Harriston, re- ported work would start this week oh a large $150,000 fel- tilizer plant to be erected on the farm of Wally Crich, in Tuckersmith, between Clinton and Seaforth, just off Highway 8. A native of Cromarty and a former salesman for Canada Packers in this area, llouckin is co-owner of Harriston Fer- tilizers, the firm erecting the large manufacturing plant. The other owner is Norm Young, Harriston. Houckin said the plant would be capable of producing be- tween 35 to 40 tons of fertilizer per hour and would employ between 20 and 25 at the peak period between December and June. He said the staff for the re- mainder of the year would average between 12 and 15. •Harriston Fertilizers com- menced operation in that com- munity about five years ago. and now have smaller service plants in both Mitchell and Toronto. Sod at the Tuckersmith site has already been turned and cement work is expected to start at the end of this week. Hougkin said' the -firm would ship fertilizer from the local plant in the fall and hoped to be manufacturing by the mid dle of November. Need in Area Pointing out , the fact that between 25,000 and 30,000 tons of fertilizer are used annually by Huron County farmers, the firm's owner said he felt there was an opening ,in the central section of the county for a fer tilizer outlet. He noted that most farreers were switching t0 buying hulk fertilizer, and most were not equipped to haul it to the cen- tral section from thee5�"\pints now in existence in the')'•outh- ern and northern seotions of the county. Harriston Fertilizers have pioneered a new process for the manufacture of fertilizer that enables them to carry ou: more accurate control of an alysis. • He reported that four men now employed by the firm would be brought in to look af- ter the operation of the Clin- ton plant, but the remaining labor would.h e hired red .lo�' call west on the county road and the truck„ carrying 30 head of cat- tle, was going south on High- way 4. • Hutton was not injured, but Papple was admitted to Clintoh Public Hospital suffering from shock, lacerations and a frac- tured leg.

Road Paving Will Eliminate Dust Trouble Sewer projecte, -now under: way in Seaforth shotild be com- pleted within three weeks, Wm. Campbell, sewer ',inspector for James F. MacLaren Ltd., said Wednesday. The completion, date applies to the new extensions on Gode- rich St. East and James St., as well as the original sewer pro- ject. Mr. Campbell had good news, too, for residents on streets where sewer work has been completed and who have been plagued with dust. The streets will be treated with a tar and chip 'preparation to provide a semi-permanent type surface, and the work will be under way in a few days. Calcium had been spread ov- er the roads as a temporary measure until work was com- pleted, but it was realized this was of shore -lived benefit, he said. Now that sewer construc- tion is almost at an end, the longer -lasting surface will be applied.. As far as the original con- tract is concerned, construction of laterals and replacements of lawns and sidewalks will be completed by the end of this week. Work commenced Wed- nesday on laying the Goderich Street force main and exten- sions to the original sewer' pro- ject.
